Abstract:
Histological, histochemical and immunohistochemical studies of 50 solitary juvenile polyps (JP) and 50 JP from children with juvenile polyposis syndrome (JPS) were performed. Observations of the focal complex glandular structures with high mitotic rate were more frequent in JP from patients with JPS (n = 29, 58%) than in solitary JP (n = 17, 34%) (p < 0.03). The immunohistochemical study demonstrated p53 overexpression in individual cells and more than 50% of Ki-67-positive cells in 5 (10%) solitary JP and in 17(34%) JP from patients with JPS (p < 0.007). The finding of microglandular pattern is more typical for JP from patients with JPS. Pathological data, expression of p53 and Ki-67 by immunohistochemistry could help to pick out the group of JP with dysplastic changes.

Distinctive Features of Adult Stem Cells vs Cancer Stem Cells
Adult stem cells
Adult stem cells are tissue-specific; hence, they divide to develop the tissue from which they originate. One type of adult stem cell is the epithelial stem cell, which gives rise to the keratinocytes in the multiple layers of epithelial cells in the epidermis of the skin. Adult bone marrow has three distinct types of stem cells:...
Histology of the Small Intestine
The intestinal lining features transverse folds called circular folds, each housing fingerlike projections known as intestinal villi. These villi are covered by a layer of simple columnar epithelium, also referred to as...
Histology of the Large Intestine
The innermost mucosa layer comprises simple columnar epithelium, lamina propria, and muscularis mucosae. This layer is primarily populated with absorptive cells, tasked with water absorption, and goblet cells, responsible for secreting mucus to...
