    Notes: Abstract The distribution of S-100 protein positive dendritic cells (S100-DCs) in cancer nests and the expression of HLA-DR antigen on cancer cells in 90 patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder were studied immunohistochemically. A dense infiltrate of S100-DCs (more than 10 S100-DCs/high power field) was detected in 47 out of 90 cases, while in the remaining tumours the infiltrate was sparse. HLA-DR positive cancer cells (DR-CCs) were detected in 24 cases, including 16 with dense DR-CCs (more than 100 DR-CCs/high power field); no expression was observed in the remaining tumours. In terms of the numbers of S100-DCs infiltrating the following statistically significant differences were observed: tumour grading G1〉G3, depth of penetration pT0〉pT3; (p〈0.05), G2〉G3, lymphatic invasion-〉+ and venous invasion -〉+; (p〈0.01). A multivariate analysis demonstrated that the most important factor affecting prognosis was distant organ and/or lymph node metastasis (p〈0.01) the number of S100DCs, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.26 (p〈0.01), and the number of DR-CCs with HR of 0.18 (p〈0.05); these were statistically significant. S100-DCs and DR-CCs may be regarded as independent prognostic factors of tumour growth and progression.

    Notes: Abstract Thyroid tissue from a patient with Basedow's disease and immunopositive for HTLV-I was examined. Histopathological and immunohistochemical studies revealed that follicular-epithelial cells (FEC) had papillary projections reaching into the follicular lumina which were associated with diffuse T, but not B, lymphocyte infiltration and occasionally formed aggregations intermingled with T and B lymphocytes. Ultrastructurally, infiltrated lymphocytes possessing round or irregularly indented nuclei were detected in the capillary lumen, stroma and, also, FEC layers. The lymphocytes extended irregular processes, attached to long thin processes of FEC and infiltrated into FEC layers. Cocultivation of minced thyroid tissue with normal lymphocytes resulted in the establishment of a type-C virus-producing T-cell line.
