Expression of G3BP and RhoC in esophageal squamous carcinoma and their effect on prognosis.

Aim: To investigate the expression and significance of G3BP and RhoC proteins in esophageal squamous carcinoma (ESC).

Methods: The expression of G3BP and Rhoc proteins in 80 cases of ESC was detected by immunohistochemistry. The relationship was studied between the expression of the two proteins and tumor size, differentiation degree, TNM stage, lymph node metastasis and prognosis of ESC.

[Association of CD133 and endothelin-converting enzyme expressions with prognosis of non-small cell lung carcinoma].

Objective: To investigate the expression of tumor stem cell marker CD133 and endothelin-converting enzymes (ECE) in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) and their association with NSCLC lymphoid metastasis.

Methods: CD133 and ECE expressions was detected immunohistochemically in the specimens from 77 patients with NSCLC, and the association of CD133 and ECE expressions with the tumor size, histological type, differentiation, lymphoid metastasis, and prognosis of NSCLC was analyzed.

Results: The positive expression rate of CD133 and ECE was 51.

[Expression of Ras-GTPase-activating protein SH 3 domain binding protein and osteopontin in esophageal squamous carcinoma and their effects on prognosis].

Objective: To investigate the expressions and significances of Ras-GTPase-activating protein SH 3 domain binding protein(G3BP) and osteopontin (OPN) proteins in esophageal squamous carcinoma (ESC).

Methods: The expressions of G3BP and OPN proteins in 80 cases of ESC were detected by immunohistochemistry. The relationships between the 2 protein expression and tumor size, differentiation degree, TNM stage, lymph node metastasis and prognosis of ESC were also explored.

[Expressions of RhoC and osteopontin in esophageal squamous carcinoma and association with the patients' prognosis].

Objective: To investigate the expressions of RhoC and osteopontin (OPN) protein in esophageal squamous carcinoma (ESC) and their association with the biological behavior of ESC.

Methods: The expressions of RhoC and OPN protein were detected in 80 ESC cases by immunohistochemistry.

Results: The positive expression rate of RhoC was 66.
