Abstract

Background

We have previously demonstrated tumor-specific α1,2fucosylation, which is associated with resistance of tumor cells to anticancer treatment in human colorectal tumor tissues. By using the YB-2 monoclonal antibody, the resulting products have been identified as Y, Leb, and H type 2 antigens in colorectal tumor tissues.

Methods

Immunohistochemical analyses of colorectal cancer tissues (74 specimens) were performed with a newly established mouse monoclonal antibody, YB-3 specifically recognizing H disaccharide (Fucα1,2Galβ) structures, and anti-A, anti-B, YB-2, and anti–sialyl Lewis X (SLX) antibodies, together with the analyses of glycosyltransferases involved in the synthesis of ABH antigens in the same tissues.

Results

The YB-3 antibody enabled us to detect colorectal tumors, particularly tumors in the distal large intestine and the rectum, with high sensitivity (74.3%) and specificity (100%). From immunohistochemical and enzymatic analyses of colorectal tissues, we found that once α1,2fucosylation had proceeded in tumor tissues, blood group A or B antigen was also synthesized in approximately half of the tissues of A or B blood type, but not in their normal tissues. A correlation of survival rate with immunostaining of tissues was found only by YB-3 antibody and not by anti-A, anti-B, or anti-SLX antibody.

Conclusions

As a predictor of postoperative prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer, immunodetection of α1,2fucosylated antigens with the YB-3 antibody seemed to be superior to blood groups A, B, or SLX antigen in colorectal tumor tissues.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
