Article Synopsis
- Soil biodiversity is important for farming and the environment, and cover crops can help improve soil health.
- Different numbers of cover crop species affect weeds and the types of tiny worms called nematodes in the soil, with more species leading to fewer weeds.
- More diverse cover crops (like 4 or 8 species) help increase beneficial nematodes and improve soil nutrients, making the ecosystem healthier.
Oncogenic role of Skp2 and p27Kip1 in intraductal proliferative lesions of the breast.

Objective: To investigate whether the connection of p27(Kip1) to S-phase kinase-associated protein 2 (Skp2) plays an oncogenic role in intraductal proliferative lesions of the breast.
Methods: Here we investigated the mechanism involved in association of Skp2’s degradation of p27(Kip1) with the breast carcinogenesis by immunohistochemical method through detection of Skp2 and p27(Kip1) protein levels in 120 paraffin-embedded tissues of intraductal proliferative lesions including usual ductal hyperplasia (UDH, n=30), atypical ductal hyperplasia (n=30), flat epithelial atypia (FEA, n=30), and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS, n=30). Moreover, the expression status of Skp2 and p27(Kip1) in 30 cases of the normal breast paraffin-embedded tissues were explored.
Objective: To investigate the expression of alpha-tubulin and gamma-tubulin, 2 kinds of centrosome proteins, in premalignant lesion and carcinoma of breast and the significance thereof.
Methods: Forty specimens of premalignant lesions of breast, 40 specimens of infiltrating ductal carcinoma of breast, 40 specimens of intraductal carcinoma (IDC), and 30 specimens of normal breast tissues were obtained during operation. Immunohistochemistry was used to analyze the protein expression of alpha-tubulin and gamma-tubulin, and the percentages of ki67 positive cells.
