Paraffin sections from 50 mycosis fungoides (22 MFI-Premycotic stage, 24 MF Ⅰ infiltrative stage and 4 MF Ⅲ - tumor stage), 2 nonepidermotropic cutaneous T cell lymphoma (NECTCL) and 9 CPL were investigated. In each case, 200 cells randomly selected were examined using a × 100 oil immersion lens. The mean number, standard deviation and standard error of the mean of AgNOR counts were as follows: MFⅠ 1.17±0.09, SEM = 0.01; MⅡ 1.17±0.01, SEM = 0.01; MF Ⅲ. 3.55±0.87, SEM = 0.43; NECTCL 4.5±0.28, SEM -0.199; CPL 1.17±0.1, SEM ± 0.03. The results revealed a highly significant difference between CTCL (MFⅢ+NECTCL) and CPL (t = 4.75, P<0.001), tumor stage (MF Ⅲ) and pretumor stage (MFI, MF Ⅱ) of mycosis fungoides (t = 4.75, P<0.001). Thus. AgNOR count is valuable in differential diagnosis.展开更多

The numbers of AgNOR have been gradully increased with the grades of dasplasls. Similarly the percentage of sialomucin having vicinal diols on side chain of sialic acid also gradully Increased with the grades of dysplasia. The AgNOR reflects rDNA transcriptional activity responsible for degrees of differentiation of cell. Epithelial cells secreting a heterogeneous mucin, could be taken as a signal of abnormal cellular differentiation. AgNOR and mucln chages might be assumed as a criteria In representing malignant transformation.展开更多

The results indicated that during the course that the normal colonical mucosa developed to colorectal adenocarcinoma via adenoma the DNA and AgNOR protein contents increased gradually and there were very significant correlationships between the DNA and the AgNOR protein contents of adenoma group and adenocarcinoma group. However, there were considerahle overlaping in the DNA or AgNOR Protein content and considerahle overlaping cases between adenoma and normal colonic mucosa groups and between adenoma and adenocarcinoma groups. But the overlaping scope in NDA and AgNOR Protein content and the number of overlaping cases were reduced significantly by assessing the correlationship between the DNA and AgNOR protein content. Therefore, it is much more reliable to distinguish colorectal adenomas from adnocarcinomas by using the correlationship between the cellular DNA and the AgNOR Protein contents in the same specimens.展开更多
