Background/aims: The study aims to explore the expression of IMP3 in HCC and the correlation between its expression and prognosis.
Methodology: We collected several clinical and pathological files including 92 cases of HCC and 58 cases of adjacent liver tissues. Expression of IMP3 in these tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry, while compared with clinicopathological characteristics and expression of Ki-67. A χ2 test was used to analyze the relationship between expression of IMP3 and clinicοpathologic factors. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to calculate survival rate. A Cox analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between index and patients’ lifetime.
Results: The positive rate of IMP3 in HCC tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues. The expression of IMP3 was related to the histological differentiation of HCC, metastasis, the stage of ACJJ, the expression of Ki-67 and survival. The ACJJ stage, metastases and the expression of IMP3 were independent factors for the HCC patients’ survival.
Conclusions: IMP3, which is associated with tumor formation, invasion, tumor cell proliferation and so on, may become the target for inhabiting cell proliferation and the biomarker for predicting prognosis.

Cervical cancer remains one of the leading causes of death from malignant diseases in women worldwide. Primary and secondary prevention have led to better outcomes in developed countries, whereas in developing countries, cervical cancer continues to be responsible for an unjustifiably high number of fatalities. The discovery of new tumor biomarkers can lead to earlier diagnosis, better therapeutic decisions, and improved treatment methods.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the use of IMP3 immunohistochemistry (IHC) as a diagnostic tool for primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the central nervous system (CNS-DLBCL), which is challenging to diagnose due to limited biopsy material.
- - Results showed strong IMP3 expression in 100% of CNS-DLBCL samples, while it was also present in 88.2% of other DLBCLs, but not in inflammatory brain diseases.
- - While IMP3 IHC can help distinguish CNS-DLBCL in cases with limited tumor cells, most cases can be diagnosed without it, indicating that it serves as a supportive diagnostic technique rather than a primary one.
Utility of IMP3, p53, and S100P immunohistochemical stains in distinguishing reactive atypia from dysplasia in cholecystectomy specimens.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to differentiate between reactive atypia and dysplasia in cholecystectomy specimens using immunostains for IMP3, p53, and S100P in a sample of 54 cases.
- - Results indicated that normal and reactive atypia cases mostly showed negative IMP3 and wild-type p53, while dysplasia cases had significant positivity in IMP3 and aberrant p53 patterns.
- - The findings suggest that positive IMP3 or abnormal p53 expression could help pathologists distinguish dysplasia from reactive atypia in challenging cases.
