Maternal starvation is a significant cause of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) in the world and increases the risk of infection in the neonate. We examined the effect of maternal starvation on Toll like receptor (TLR)4 expression in hepatic, splenic and intestinal tissues obtained from the adult IUGR offspring of prenatal calorie restricted rats. The hepatic TLR4 protein concentration was undetectable in the IUGR rats that had restricted milk intake during the suckling period (SM/SP; n = 4.

Further, we compared these variables with histopathologic features and each other.
Methods: We used immunohistochemical methods on paraffin embedded tissue sections of 67 surgically resected epithelial ovarian neoplasms, diagnosed between 1987-1998, (benign serous n=12, benign mucinous n= 15, borderline mucinous n=3, malignant serous n= 15, malignant mucinous n=8, malignant endometrioid n=10, clear cell n=3 and malignant Brenner n= 1) for the presence of PCNA and Ki-67 reactivity.

Objective: In this study proliferating markers PCNA (proliferating cell nuclear antigen) Ki-67 and mutation of supressor gene p53 were investigated in gestational trophoblastic disease (GTL). These markers were tested by using immunostaining with beta subunits of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and human placental lactogen (HPL).
Material And Methods: Twenty curetting samples, 20 spontaneous abortions, 16 hydatidiform moles and two choriocarcinomas were studied and compared.
