    Notes: Spectral properties of blue upconversion luminescences in Tm3+ doped tellurite (PWT, PbF2-WO3-TeO2) glasses and germanate (PWG, PbF2-WO3-GeO2) glasses pumped by a tunable dye laser were studied at room temperature. Two emission bands centered at 453 and 477 nm, corresponding to the 1D2→3H4 and 1G4→3H6 transitions of Tm3+ ions respectively, were observed. The two-photon absorption mechanism responsible for the 477 nm luminescence was confirmed by a quadratic dependence of luminescent intensities on the excitation power. Tellurite glasses showed a weaker upconversion luminescence than germanate glasses. This observation was inconsistent with the prediction from the phonon sideband measurement. In this article, Raman spectroscopy and transmittance measurement were employed to investigate the origin of the difference in upconversion luminescences in the two glasses. Compared with phonon sideband spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy extracts more information, including both phonon energy and phonon density, and therefore, is a more effective analytical tool for understanding upconversion luminescence. Our results showed that the phonon energy as well as phonon density of the host glass is important in determining the upconversion efficiency. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: To examine the usefulness of Hep Par 1 together with selected antibodies in the separation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from cholangiocarcinoma (CC), combined tumours (HCC-CC) and metastatic carcinoma.〈section xml:id="abs1-2"〉〈title type="main"〉Methods and resultsAntibodies to Hep Par 1, CK19, CK20 and factor XIIIa were applied to 32 HCCs, 27 CCs, five HCC-CCs and 19 metastatic carcinomas from a variety of sites. Hep Par 1 produced distinctive granular staining of all benign hepatocytes and stained 30 HCCs in a heterogeneous manner, irrespective of the degree of differentiation. While labelling all cases of combined HCC-CC, the antibody also stained the mucus-secreting cells of four cases of pure CC. Anti-CK19 produced distinctive staining of bile ducts and CC but also decorated four HCCs and 10 metastatic tumours. Factor XIIIa was not found in normal, reactive or neoplastic hepatocytes. CK20 was found in some cases of HCC and CC and in all cases of metastatic carcinomas from the colon.〈section xml:id="abs1-3"〉〈title type="main"〉ConclusionsHep Par 1 was a sensitive marker of hepatocytes but its variable staining in HCC may produce false negative results in small biopsies and it was occasionally found in CC. The highest diagnostic yield was obtained when anti-Hep Par 1, CK19 and CK20 were used in a panel. Factor XIIIa staining has no role in the diagnosis of liver cancers.

    Notes: Expression of MUC1 and MUC2 and carbohydrate antigen Tn change during malignant transformation of biliary papillomatosis Aim: Biliary papillomatosis is characterized by papillary proliferations of biliary lining cells without invasion or metastasis. The neoplastic character and biological behaviour of this disease remain still speculative. These issues were examined in this study. Methods and results: Mucin core protein MUC1, MUC2, MUC3, MUC5AC and carbohydrate antigens (T, Tn and sialosyl Tn) were immunohistochemically examined, using 11 lesions of biliary papillomatosis from seven patients, and five lesions of biliary papillomatosis with foci of carcinoma from four patients. Five cases of papillary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and 12 histologically normal livers were used as a control. Patients with biliary papillomatosis alone or with carcinoma were middle-aged or elderly (five men and six women). Microscopically, biliary papillomatosis showed a villous, papillo-tubular, papillary, or papillo-villous pattern with a thin fibrovascular core. Cytologically, they were classifiable into biliary epithelial or pyloric gland-like type. The former was frequent in the cases associated with carcinoma. Expression of MUC1, Tn antigen and sialosyl Tn antigen was frequent and marked in biliary papillomatosis alone and with carcinoma and also intrahepatic papillary carcinoma. In addition, marked expression of MUC1 and Tn antigen were rather frequent in biliary papillomatosis with carcinoma and intrahepatic biliary papillary carcinoma compared with biliary papillomatosis. MUC2 was rather frequent and marked in biliary papillomatosis alone compared to other two disease groups. Focal expression of MUC5AC and MUC2 was rather frequent and infrequent irrespective of disease group, respectively. Focal expression of T antigen was frequent in papillary ICC. Conclusion: Biliary papillomatosis could undergo overt malignant transformation along with altered phenotypic expression of MUC proteins and mucin carbohydrate antigens.

    Notes: Aims:  Combined hepatocellular/cholangiocarcinomas have been explained by some investigators as bidirectional differentiation of neoplastic progenitor cell populations. The presence of hepatic progenitor cells has now been confirmed in humans, though whether they can give rise to malignant tumours has not been confirmed. We report four cases of small tumours identified in livers with features of chronic hepatitis which may suggest a role for malignant transformation of hepatic stem cells in hepatic malignancies.Methods:  Tumour samples were studied from four patients by histochemistry and immunohistochemistry.Results:  Two patients had chronic hepatitis B, one had chronic hepatitis C and chronic alcoholic liver injury, and one had non-B non-C chronic hepatitis. Stages of disease ranged from portal fibrosis to cirrhosis. All tumours contained undifferentiated cells with morphological and immunohistochemical features that would be expected of hepatic progenitor cells. These cells merged with both hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma components as well as with mature appearing hepatocytes within the tumours.Conclusion:  We suggest that these tumours are of hepatic progenitor cell origin, supporting the concepts that human hepatocarcinogenesis can be based on transformation of progenitor cells and that such a process may underlie development of some mixed hepatocellular/cholangiocarcinomas and dysplastic nodules.
