Objective: To detect the expressions of matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9), progesterone receptor(PR), Ki-67 and Survivin in the multiple meningiomas (MMs) and explore its genesis, diagnosis and bionomics features.
Methods: A total of 66 cases with histological sections of meningiomas retrieved from the archives of Department of Pathology of our hospital, including 30 cases of solitary meningiomas (SMs) and 36 cases MMs, were regrouped as benign, atypical and malignant by hematoxylin and eosin staining according to the World Health Organization classification of nervous system tumors. Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect the expressions of MMP-9, PR, Ki-67 and Survivin in 36 cases of MMs and 30 cases of SMs. And normal brain tissue was selected as a control group. The staining intensity was analyzed quantitatively for the differential expressions of MMP-9, PR, Ki-67 and Survivin between SMs and MMs.
Results: No expression of MMP-9, PR, Ki-67 and Survivin was detected in 5 normal brain tissues, but the expression rates were 100%, 53%, 23% and 88% respectively for significant difference comparing with normal tissue. The result of statistical analysis showed that there was significant difference in the expression intensity of MMP-9 and PR between two groups. The expression intensity MMP-9 in multiple group was significantly higher in MMs than that in SMs (P < 0.01) while PR was lower in MMs than that in SMs (P < 0.05). But no significant difference was found for the expression of Ki-67 or Survivin between two groups.
Conclusion: The detections of MMP-9, PR, Ki-67 and Survivin are helpful in the clinical diagnosis and early detection of meningioma.

Article Synopsis
- Phyllodes tumors of the breast are classified into benign, borderline, or malignant based on criteria set by the WHO, focusing on factors like stromal cell characteristics and mitotic count.
- A study evaluated various proliferation markers, including Ki-67 and mitotic count, across 76 phyllodes tumors to determine which marker is most effective in distinguishing between tumor types.
- Results indicated that mitotic count was the most reliable marker for differentiating malignant tumors from benign or borderline ones, while other criteria are also important for distinguishing between benign and borderline tumors.

Background: Malignant (intra-) nasal tumors (NTs) are the most common cause of chronic nasal discharge in dogs. Besides radiation therapy, palliative therapy is necessary in some dogs. Therefore, studies on receptor expression have supported the utility of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in dogs with nasal carcinomas.
