Background/aim: P21 is a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor regulating the cell cycle as a tumor suppressor. Using a p21 immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay, we compared tumor p21 levels with conventional clinico-pathological criteria in primary pancreatic endocrine tumor subsets with and without liver metastases.
Materials And Methods: Sections from tissue microarray (TMA) including 13 archival metastatic primary and 18 non-metastatic primary pancreatic endocrine carcinomas/tumors (MP-PECAs/NMP-PETs) were stained with a monoclonal anti-p21 primary antibody.
Introduction C-reactive protein (CRP) has been reported as a predictor of the severity of acute pancreatitis (AP). However, there is conflicting evidence in the literature. The proposed cut-off values and intervals for best prediction include an absolute value of 150 at 48 hours; an absolute value of 190 at 48 hours; and the interval change in CRP of 90 at 48 hours.
