Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase expression in different subtypes of childhood B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Pathol Res Pract. 2024 Apr 2;256:155287. doi: 10.1016/j.prp.2024.155287. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe lack of expression of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) is frequently associated with KMT2A-rearranged subtype of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, this association has not been investigated extensively in the Asian population. A retrospective analysis of TdT expression in pediatric B-cell ALL (B-ALL) was performed in patients treated using the Taiwan Pediatric Oncology Group (TPOG) ALL 2002 and 2013 protocols. Among the 331 patients with B-ALL, 12 patients showed TdT negativity at initi...

Identification of miR-125a and miR-106b signature as a potential diagnostic biomarker in breast cancer tissues
Pathol Res Pract. 2024 Mar 27;256:155277. doi: 10.1016/j.prp.2024.155277. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMicroRNAs (miRNAs) have essential roles in the etiology of breast cancer and are regarded as possible markers in this malignancy. In order to find new markers for breast cancer, the current study has measured expression level of four miRNAs, namely miR-125a, miR-106b, miR-96 and miR-92a-3p in the paired breast samples. Expression levels of miR-125a and miR-106b were higher in tumoral tissues compared with control tissues (Expression ratios (95% CI) = 4.01 (1.96-8.19) and 3.9 (1.95-7.81); P values = 0.0005 and 0.0003, res...

Primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the urethra: A contemporary clinicopathologic analysis of 17 patients
Pathol Res Pract. 2024 Mar 28;256:155273. doi: 10.1016/j.prp.2024.155273. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMucinous adenocarcinoma of the urethra is rare. Here we performed a contemporary clinicopathologic analysis of this entity in both male and female patients. All cases with secondary tumors involving the urethra were excluded. Clinicopathologic parameters and follow up was obtained. Seventeen patients were included in the study, 9/17 (53 %) male and 8/17 (47 %) female. The mean patient age was 68 years (range: 53-88 years). The majority (11/17, 65 %) of patients were African American, with an even greater incidence (7/8, ...

Exploiting the immune system in hepatic tumor targeting: Unleashing the potential of drugs, natural products, and nanoparticles
Pathol Res Pract. 2024 Mar 19;256:155266. doi: 10.1016/j.prp.2024.155266. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHepatic tumors present a formidable challenge in cancer therapeutics, necessitating the exploration of novel treatment strategies. In recent years, targeting the immune system has attracted interest to augment existing therapeutic efficacy. The immune system in hepatic tumors includes numerous cells with diverse actions. CD8+ T lymphocytes, T helper 1 (Th1) CD4+ T lymphocytes, alternative M1 macrophages, and natural killer (NK) cells provide the antitumor immunity. However, Foxp3+ regulatory CD4+ T cells (Tregs), M2-like...
