Count of TAM,MC,MV in Tissues of Primary Hepatocarcinoma and Its Clinical Significance

Abstract

Abstract: Objective To study the count of TAM,MC and MV in tissues of PHC and detect the relation to the clinicopathological features of PHC,and the relation among the count of TAM,MC and MV.Methods The stains of TAM,MC and MV were completed by the immunohistochemical method of avidin-biotin complex in routine paraffin-embedded sections from 47 cases with PHC.Results The count means of TAM,MC and MV in the cancer tissues were significantly higher than that in the peri-cancerous tissues (TAM：70.27±17.93/HP vs. 44.15±9.10/HP,P<0.01；MC：15.46±4.54/HP vs. 8.08±2.03 /HP，P<0.01；MV：67.30±13.68/HP vs. 37.20±10.58/HP,P<0.01);except the count of TAM and MV in the patients with AFU (pre-operation)≤10 μg/L in serum were significantly higher than that whose AFU>10 μg/L (TAM:74.13±18.33/HP vs. 61.15±13.54/HP,P<0.05;MV：70.41±13.03/HP vs. 59.97±12.69/HP,P<0.05);the count of MV in the patients with metastasis (73.50±13.77/HP) was significantly higher than that of non-metastasis (64.10±12.68/HP,P<0.05);there were no correlations among the count of MV,TAM and the other clinicopathological features (including pathological type,differentiated degree,the value of AFP,with or without SHCSP,cirrhosis,cancer emboli,gross shapes,and maximal diameter of mass,etc).The correlation analysis shows that the count of TAM was significantly correlated with the count of MV （r=0.686，P<0.01）,and the count of MC was significantly correlated with the count of MV （r=0.348，P<0.05）.Conclusions The count of MC,TAM and MV might be closely related to the carcinogenesis and the progress of PHC;the count of MV might be associated with tumor invasion and metastasis;TAM and MC might be closely related to the tumor angiogenesis.
