Seventy-eight cases of papillary thyroid carcinoma (&lt;1 cm in diameter) combined with lateral cervical lymph node metastasis diagnosed after the first treatment in Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital from April 1, 2013, to April 1, 2021, were retrospectively analyzed (another 102 cases were not included in this study due to incomplete information), and the relevant clinical ultrasonic pathologic data were collected. The tumor DNA was extracted and the mutations of BRAF, K-RAS, N-RAS, RET, TERT, and PIK3CA were analyzed by ARMS fluorescence quantitative PCR. The expressions of PD-L1, ER, PR, and KI-67 were detected by immunohistochemistry. There were 78 patients of papillary thyroid carcinoma (&lt;1 cm in diameter) combined with lateral cervical lymph node metastasis, including 20 males (mean age: 32.75 y) and 58 females (mean age: 49.97 y). Other clinical ultrasound pathologic parameters include: (1) preoperative serological thyroid function analysis includes TSH, FT4, FT3, TGAB, ATPO, and TRAB. (2) Ultrasound abnormalities include calcification, aspect ratio ≥1, unclear boundary and irregular shape. (3) Pathologic image analysis included tumor size, capsule invasion, extraglandular strap muscle invasion, the number of lymph node metastasis and the expression of ER, PR, and KI-67.

Combined molecular detection showed that, in 78 cases, BRAF gene mutation was the most common (52 cases), followed by N-RAS gene mutation (30 cases), then K-RAS (12 cases), TERT (7 cases), and RET (4 cases), while PIK3CA gene was wild-type.

This study investigates the prognostic significance of plasma cells and NK cells in the TME of CHL, using CD138 and CD57 immunostaining, respectively. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 50 cases of CHL of the mixed cellularity subtype.

High CD57+ NK cell infiltration was significantly associated with favorable clinical features, including early-stage disease, absence of B symptoms, good treatment response, and improved overall survival. In contrast, high CD138+ plasma cell expression was associated with advanced-stage disease.

Immunohistochemical staining for NOTCH-1 was performed on tumor tissue sections. Associations between NOTCH-1 expression and clinicopathological features (age, tumor grade, FIGO stage, and invasion patterns) and immunohistochemical markers (ER, PR, p53, Ki-67, PTEN, CerbB2, and MSI) were evaluated.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>NOTCH-1 expression was positive in 37 (14.3%) cases. No significant association was found between NOTCH-1 expression and age, tumor grade, FIGO stage, or invasion-related parameters. However, PR positivity (P=0.01) and high p53 expression (P=0.01) were significantly more frequent in the NOTCH-1 positive group. There were no significant correlations with ER, Ki-67, PTEN, MSI, or CerbB2.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>NOTCH-1 expression was not associated with key clinicopathological or survival parameters in this cohort. While some molecular correlations were observed, NOTCH-1 does not appear to have strong prognostic utility in EC. Further research integrating molecular classification and long-term follow-up is needed to clarify its potential role in tumor biology.</p>","PeriodicalId":520562,"journal":{"name":"Applied immunohistochemistry & molecular morphology : AIMM","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146115364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
