Intraluminal crystalloids (ICr) observed in 19 cases of incidental or invasive human prostatic carcinoma (PCa) and in a case of benign prostatic hyperplasia were examined extensively by immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy. They were brilliantly eosinophilic with haematoxylin and eosin, manifesting needle-like, triangular, rectangular, hexagonal and irregular lump-like in shape. They were strongly positive, dark blue, with phosphotungstic acid -haematoxylin (PTAH) stain in all cases examined. Among the human antibodies tested, epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) gave specifically positive immunostainability with ICr in all cases. Annual ring-like lamellar or concentric structures were detected by electron microscopy. Positive staining of ICr with PTAH and anti-EMA antibody is very useful as a diagnostic marker for PCa in human prostatic tissues.
对19例偶然发现或侵袭性前列腺癌(PCa)以及1例良性前列腺增生病例中观察到的管腔内晶体(ICr)进行了免疫组织化学和电子显微镜的广泛检查。它们在苏木精和伊红染色下呈明亮的嗜酸性,形状为针状、三角形、矩形、六边形和不规则块状。在所有检查病例中,它们用磷钨酸苏木精(PTAH)染色均呈强阳性、深蓝色。在所测试的人类抗体中,上皮膜抗原(EMA)在所有病例中对ICr均呈现特异性阳性免疫染色性。通过电子显微镜检测到年轮状层状或同心结构。ICr用PTAH和抗EMA抗体的阳性染色作为人类前列腺组织中PCa的诊断标志物非常有用。
