Cathepsin D in ovarian cancer: prognostic value and correlation with p53 expression and microvessel density.

Objective: Overexpression of ubiquitous lysosomal aspartyl protease cathepsin D (CD) is involved in the progression of cancer. This study investigates the prognostic value and the association of cathepsin D expression with clinicopathological parameters, p53 expression, and angiogenesis in ovarian cancer.

Methods: Cathepsin D was determined immunohistochemically in 43 ovarian tumors of low malignant potential (LMP) and 80 invasive tumors FIGO stage I-IV.

Emphysema of the abdominal wall obscuring postcesarean volvulus. A case report.

Background: Emphysema of the abdominal wall occurs after infection with gas-forming organisms or when intraabdominal gas has a mechanical pathway to the retroperitoneum.

Case: Emphysema of the abdominal wall associated with volvulus developed after cesarean delivery.

Conclusion: Postcesarean abdominal pathology may be associated with emphysema of the abdominal wall.
