    Notes: Abstract  The expression of epithelial mucins and Thomsen-Friedenreich-related antigens in preneoplastic and neoplastic hepatocellular lesions was systematically investigated using an in situ immunohistochemical staining approach. MUC1, MUC2, TF, sialosyl-TF, Tn, sialosyl-Tn, α2,3-linked sialic acid, and α2,6-linked sialic acid were examined in normal and cirrhotic human liver and in human hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) and cholangiocarcinomas. Normal hepatocytes and preneoplastic foci of altered hepatocytes did not express MUC1, MUC2, TF, Tn, s-Tn, or α2,6-linked sialic acid. In contrast, HCCs showed positive reactions for MUC1, TF, Tn, s-Tn, and α2,6-linked sialic acid. MUC2 was absent in normal biliary epithelial cells, but present in cholangiocarcinomas. The staining of MUC1, or s-Tn and α2,6-linked sialic acid in human normal liver tissues and various liver diseases did not change after specific treatments such as periodate oxidation or saponification, indicating that their expression in HCC does not result from incomplete glycosylation or low O-acetylation, respectively. MUC1, TF, Tn, s-Tn, and α2,6-linked sialic acid may be useful as indicators of progression of HCC in tissue sections, and perhaps also as targets for diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in vivo.

    Notes: Abstract  The expression of MUC1, MUC2, mucin-associated Thomsen-Friedenreich-related antigens (TF, sialosyl-TF, Tn, and sialosyl-Tn), and cytokeratin 19 (CK19) was systematically investigated in situ in 58 resected human kidney tumours, surrounding tissue of normal appearance, and two normal kidneys obtained at autopsy, using monoclonal antibodies. In kidney tissues of normal appearance, TF, s-TF, MUC1 and CK19 were positive in distal tubules and collecting ducts but negative in proximal tubules. In contrast, MUC2, Tn, and s-Tn were negative throughout the normal renal tubular system. Almost all renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) showed strong immunoreactivity for MUC1, but all were negative for MUC2. Some RCCs expressed TF, Tn, s-Tn, and CK19. In addition, the immunomorphological characteristics of the majority of clear-cell RCCs and clear/granular RCCs with anti-MUC1 and anti-CK 19 closely resembled those of the collecting duct and the distal tubule rather than the proximal tubule. In the renal tissue of otherwise normal appearance adjacent to clear-cell RCCs and clear/granular RCCs, clear cells with excessive storage of glycogen were often found in the collecting duct system, but only rarely in the proximal tubules. These results suggest that the majority of clear-cell RCCs and clear/granular RCCs may originate from the collecting duct system.

    Notes: Abstract Advances in the synthesis of organic conducting polymer systems has increased the electrical conductivity of these systems by several orders of magnitude in the last decade. Several practical applications are envisioned for such systems, but a thorough understanding of the conduction mechanisms and identification of the charge carriers is lacking, making design and implementation for bulk synthesis difficult. In order to clarify our understanding of the electrical properties of these systems, the resistivity and magnetoresistivity of various polymers doped near the metal - insulator transition, such as polyaniline protonated by camphor sulfonic acid (PANi-CSA) and polypyrrole doped with PF6 (PPy-PF6), have been studied down to 25 mK in magnetic fields up to 16 T.
