Article Synopsis
  • This study aimed to detect the expression of multidrug resistance markers (P-glycoprotein, lung resistance associated protein, and multidrug resistance associated protein) in retinoblastoma and explore their relationship with clinic-pathological factors.
  • Seventy-five retinoblastoma cases were analyzed using immunohistochemical methods, finding rates of positive expression for the markers and correlations between them.
  • The results indicated that all three proteins significantly correlate with tumor differentiation, suggesting that their combined effects contribute to the intrinsic multidrug resistance seen in retinoblastoma.

Objective: To investigate the clinical and pathologic outcomes of a large group of retinoblastoma (RB) cases to ascertain the risk factors of RB optic nerve invasion.

Methods: In this paper, we summarized the clinical and pathologic data of 381 retinoblastoma cases in Beijing Tongren Hospital observed from 1990 to 2002. Statistical analyses were performed on the sex, age, unilateral or bilateral cases, length of symptoms, clinical situation, stage, histological type and the degree of optic nerve invasion.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between the expression of human telomerase RNA (hTR), human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTRT) and the proliferation and differentiation of retinoblastoma (RB).

Methods: In 37 RB specimens, the expression of hTR and hTRT was investigated with the methods of in situ hybridization (ISH). Immunohistochemical method was performed to detect the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in RB.
