Glutathione peroxidase 2 (Gpx-2) is a selenoenzyme with antioxidant capabilities that may play role in cancer development. Hence, we investigated the immunohistochemical expression of Gpx-2 protein colon adenocarcinoma samples derived from patients who did not receive any form treatment prior to surgical procedure. The associations between and clinical parameters were analysed using Chi2 test Fisher's exact test. A Kaplan-Meier analysis log-rank used verify relationship intensity 5-year...

Introduction: Lichen sclerosus (LS) is a chronic skin and mucosa inflammatory disease. It affects mainly the female anogenital area especially in postmenopausal period. The main symptoms include pruritus, burning, pain, sometimes urinary problems, or difficulties defecation. Usually, porcelain-white plaques are seen mucosa. etiology pathogenesis of LS still uncertain. There some research studies on possible genetic predisposition, yet autoimmune, hormonal, infectious factors not excluded....

There is sufficient evidence that blood group related Lewis antigens are tumor-associated molecules. We have conducted immunohistochemical analysis of the expression in breast cancer tissue as an indicator degree malignancy and a prognostic factor. The studies were performed by examining 43 female patients diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma breast. Postoperative specimens stained immunohistochemically using panel monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for antigens: sialosyl LewisA,...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third and second most commonly diagnosed worldwide in males females, respectively. Despite prominent progress diagnosis treatment, recurrence rates are still high. A tumour hypoxic environment leads to an increase glycolytic metabolism. The crucial intermediate component of glycolysis, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), could play a significant role progression. An increased level GAPDH has been described oncogene-induced transformation...

In the process of evolution a number complicated mechanisms have developed to protect gastric mucous membrane, e.g., angiogenesis and stimulation mucosal growth. The aim this study was determine role vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) administered intraperitoneally in gastroprotective response stress-induced acute ulcers rats. A dramatic increase blood vessels observed when VEGF injected 24 h before stress exposure. Gastric secretion, depth ulceration index decreased significantly...
