    Notes: Abstract PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship among apoptotic cell death, proliferative activity, and the expression of apoptosis-regulating proteins (p53, p21 (WAF1/CIP1), and bax) in flat-type early colorectal carcinoma and to compare these factors with those in polypoid-type early colorectal carcinoma. METHODS: Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues of 11 flat-type early colorectal carcinomas and 17 polypoid-type early carcinomas were studied. The histologic diagnosis was either well-differentiated adenocarcinoma or carcinoma in adenoma, and the depth of invasion was limited to mucosa or submucosa. Apoptotic cells were detected by terminal deoxynucleotide transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate-biotin nick end-labeling method, and proliferative activity was determined by Ki-67 immunohistochemistry using monoclonal antibody MIB-1. Apoptosis-regulating proteins were determined by immunohistochemistry using antibody DO-7 (p53), Cip1 (p21 (WAF1/CIP1)), and Bax (bax). RESULTS: There was no significant difference in terminal deoxynucleotide transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate-biotin nick end-labeling index between flat-type early colorectal carcinoma and polypoid-type early carcinoma, at 1.9vs. 1.1, respectively. In flat-type carcinoma terminal deoxynucleotide transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate-biotin nick end-labeling index in the p53 protein overexpression group was significantly smaller than that in the p53 protein-negative group (P〈0.05). The Ki-67 labeling index/terminal deoxynucleotide transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate-biotin nick end-labeling index ratio in the p53 protein overexpression group was significantly higher than that in the p53 protein-negative group (P〈0.05). In polypoid-type carcinoma, the terminal deoxynucleotide transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate-biotin nick end-labeling index and Ki67/terminal deoxynucleotide transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate-biotin nick end-labeling index ratio showed no significant difference between the p53 protein overexpression group and p53 protein-negative group. CONCLUSION: p53-dependent apoptosis may contribute to the development of flat-type early colorectal carcinoma. Apoptosis and its regulation in flat-type early colorectal carcinoma may differ from those in polypoid-type carcinoma.

    Notes: Abstract. Lung autopsies from four neonates with Ebstein's anomaly or tricuspid valve dysplasia and gross cardiomegaly were examined. The mean cardiothoracic ratio was 92 ± 0.5%. The degrees of pulmonary hypoplasia and pulmonary artery muscularization were assessed and were compared with those in lungs from four controls and four patients with diaphragmatic hernias. Lung and body weight ratios and radial alveolar counts, which reflect pulmonary hypoplasia and immaturity, were significantly decreased only in patients with diaphragmatic hernia. The thickness of the medial muscle layer in small pulmonary arteries was greater in patients with diaphragmatic hernia; however, in patients with tricuspid valve disease, it was relatively small. Abnormal vascular muscle extension was seen only in patients with diaphragmatic hernia. In the cases of tricuspid valve disease, although cardiomegaly and lung compression were severe, lung hypoplasia and immaturity were not, and neither abnormal medial thickening nor extension were found. Our results suggest that, at least in full-term infants with tricuspid valve disease, surgical relief of lung compression may improve respiratory function, even if the cardiomegaly is severe.
