    Notes: Myelodysplastic syndromes, AIDS-related myelopathy and non-specific inflammatory reactions (mostly rheumatoid myelitis) are characterized by normo- to hypercellular bone marrow, but frequently display cytopenias in the peripheral blood. In the current study we have addressed the question whether this situation reflects an increased programmed cell death in haemopoiesis. For this purpose, the in situ end-labelling technique was applied to formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded trephine biopsies derived from patients and a control group without any haematological disorder. Results were evaluated by morphometry. Significantly more apoptotic cell death was observed in the haemopoietic marrow of patients with either disease. Using double-immunohistochemistry with the monoclonal antibody PG-M1 (CD68), we were able to demonstrate that approximately one third of the apoptotic cells were ingested by macrophages. Our findings are in keeping with previously published data that postulated increased frequencies of macrophages in these disorders as well as raised serum levels of TNF-α.

    Notes: Abstract For evaluation of the prognostic relevance ofp53 expression in gastric cancer, theimmunohistochemical tissue status of 133 primary gastriccancer patients was investigated for p53 expression andthe association between p53 tissue status andclinicopathological parameters was analyzed. P53immunoreactivity was detected in the nuclei of cancercells in 35 cases (26.3%). The nuclear p53immunoreaction was closely associated with tumor location, lymph nodemetastasis, and curability. Tumors with positive p53stain reactions frequently metastasized to lymph nodes(metastatic rate: 91.4%) in contrast to tumors with negative p53 stain reactivity (71.4%, P =0.021). Immunohistochemical analysis of primary gastriccancer appears to be an accurate and simple method ofscreening for p53 expression. In combination with common prognostic parameters, determination of p53tissue status might help to detect prognosticallyunfavorable subgroups of gastric cancerpatients.
