Haemopoietic dysplasia is a condition which often precedes the development of acute non-lymphocytic leukaemia. Before this event, however, patients are at risk from severe infections even in the absence of neutropenia. This paper describes 3 patients with haemopoietic dysplasias in whom neutrophil microbicidal activity was deficient in vitro. The important abnormality appeared to be defective release of myeloperoxidase into the phagocytic vacuole. Two of these patients suffered from numerous baterial infections.

Studies of amniotic fluid obtained at various times throughout the last trimester of pregnancy from patients with carcinoma of the cervix indicate a complete deficiency of peroxidase activity. Dialysis partially restores the enzyme activity. Cervical epithelial tumor cells apparently release a dialyzable, low molecular weight inhibitory substance directed specifically toward peroxidase. If this proves to be true in future studies, the peroxidase assay could be a sensitive means of differentiating between carcinoma and dysplasia. A peroxidelike substance was also present in the amniotic fluids obtained from patients with carcinoma. Other investigators have demonstrated large amounts of peroxide in malignant tumors. These elevated peroxide levels might well be directly related to deficient peroxidase activity rather than being a result of other abnormal enzyme levels which have been regarded as being principally involved in the metabolism of this highly toxic molecule.

To test the utility of biotinylated DNA probes against various subtypes of human papillomavirus (HPV), we performed in situ DNA hybridization on routinely processed archival material from 30 patients with serial cervical biopsies including conization (group I) and a prospective group of 35 patients whose cervical biopsies showed various degrees of koilocytotic atypia and/or dysplasia (group II). Commercially available biotinylated probe cocktails against HPV types 6 and 11, 16 and 18, and 31, 35 and 51 were detected via the avidin-biotin horseradish peroxidase technique. Virus was found in 87% (26/30) of group I and 57% (20/35) of group II. Almost exclusively, viral types 16, 18, 31, 35 and 51 were detected in group I; 54% (19/35) of group II stained for types 16, 18 or 31, 35 and 51; 2.9% (1/35) stained for types 6 and 11. Nine percent of group II (3/35) showed coinfection with types 16, 18 and 31, 35 and 51. Three of six vulvar condylomata (50%) stained for types 6 and 11. In general, weaker staining was associated with greater dysplasia. In situ hybridization using biotinylated DNA probes is useful in identifying patients infected with dysplasia/carcinoma-associated HPV subtypes and can be performed easily on routine surgical specimens.

A 63-year-old man was admitted because of anemia and thrombocytopenia. The bone marrow was hypercellular with 66.6% erythroblasts with dysplasia and 19.8% blasts. Cytogenetically, MAKA (major karyotypic aberrations) containing 5q-, -7, -17, with karyotypic instability was observed. A diagnosis of erythroleukemia (FAB M6) was made. Six months later, immature neutrophils increased in the peripheral blood, and blasts and promyelocytes increased to 25.8% and 20.0% of marrow cells, respectively. Three months later, blasts asts increased to 33.0% in the peripheral blood. They were ultrastructually positive for platelet peroxidase. Phenotypically, 69% and 63% of blasts were positive for CD41b (GPIIb/IIIa) and CD42a (GPIb), respectively. Bone marrow biopsy showed marked proliferation of blasts and dysplastic megakaryocytes accompanied by reticulin fibrosis. These findings suggested evolution to megakaryoblastic leukemia (FAB M7). In most cases, M6 defined by the FAB criteria is stem cell disorder with multilineage involvement and major erythroid component. M6-like features may be observed in the evolutive phase to acute leukemia from myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).

A 64-year-old male was admitted in September 1989 with complaints of fever and muscular weakness in the extremities. A peripheral blood examination on admission revealed WBC 10,300/microliters (monocytes 32%), RBC 195 x 10(4)/microliters, Hb 7.9 g/dl, Plt 12.8 x 10(4)/microliters with trilineage dysplasia. Bone marrow biopsy was normoplastic marrow with 25.7% of monocytes including immature blasts. Cytochemical analysis of the monocytes showed positive for peroxidase and dual esterase staining. Chromosomal analysis of peripheral blood revealed 46, XY, -7, +der(1) t(1;7)(p11;p11). A diagnosis of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia was made. Hemostatic studies revealed cryofibrinogenemia, marked platelet aggregation on blood smear, hyperfibrinogenemia and a marked increase in maximal amplitude of thrombelastogram. Treatment with prednisolone and VP16, resulted in a reduction of peripheral monocytes and a disappearance of cryofibrinogen, marked platelet aggregation and a decrease in muscular weakness. Nine months after diagnosis he died of DIC, pneumonia, lung abscess and sepsis.

Twenty patients with bladder carcinoma (14 transitional cell carcinoma and six squamous cell carcinoma) and ten controls of (four with bilharzial lesions, three without and three with metaplasia and dysplasia) were subjected to immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical studies. Bladder and urine samples examination were carried out with the high molecular weight cytokeratin and broad spectrum keratin antibodies using peroxidase anti-peroxidase. Cytokeratins of high molecular weight were expressed in all squamous cancer while broad spectrum keratin was positive in 83.3%. The transitional cell carcinoma was positive in 50% with both cytokeratin and broad spectrum keratin. Urine shedded were positive in 83.3% and 66.7% of squamous cell carcinoma with high molecular weight cytokeratin and broad spectrum keratin respectively. However, each of them was positive in 50% of transitional carcinoma, and negative with non-malignant cases except with metaplasia and dysplasia.

Intramucosal ganglion cells are commonly believed not to occur in normal colon and to be found only in the chronic bowel motility disorder, neuronal intestinal dysplasia. After chance observations of two intramucosal ganglion cells in endoscopic biopsies in two patients without neuronal intestinal dysplasia, a retrospective study was undertaken to determine how frequently ganglion cells are present in colonic mucosa. Excluding the index cases, three intramucosal ganglion cells were found in 169 consecutive colonic biopsies. The nature of the ganglion cells was confirmed by positive neurone specific enolase staining by the peroxidase-antiperoxidase technique in all cases. None of the patients had neuronal intestinal dysplasia. The diagnosis of neuronal intestinal dysplasia should rely on a constellation of clinicopathological features. Rare intramucosal ganglion cells are a normal histological finding.

Some types of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) have been suggested to be strongly related to uterine cervical carcinoma. An attempt to detect these in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections was made by either immunohistochemical or by in situ hybridization. Anticapsid protein of bovine papillomavirus antibody labeled with peroxidase was used for immunohistochemistry, and biotin was used instead of radioisotopes to label probes for in situ hybridization, which resulted in low background and a rapid procedure. Condylomatous changes were stained immunochemically with this antibody even in invasive carcinoma, whereas the carcinoma itself was not stained. Direct correlation was demonstrated by in situ hybridization between the HPV genome and histopathological structure, which was impossible by Southern or dot hybridization. HPV DNAs were detected in the nuclei of koilocytes and dyskeratinocytes of condylomata and dysplasias. Furthermore, hybridization signals of HPV DNAs in basal and parabasal cells suggested that HPV infection had already begun in the basal cells. In the case of malignant neoplasia accompanied by dysplasia, the same type of HPV was detected both in the malignant neoplasia and accompanying dysplasia. In one case of intraepithelial carcinoma, the very small focus of carcinoma just arisen in the cells of dysplasia was identified, and both were positive for HPV 18. This fact supports the suggestion that the carcinoma arises in dysplasia. Invasive carcinomas were classified further into keratinized, large-cell nonkeratinized, and small-cell nonkeratinized types, and the positive frequency for HPV 16 decreased as the differentiation of the carcinoma decreased. In the case of keratinized type of invasive carcinoma, strong hybridization signals were prominent around the malignant pearl formation.

The monoclonal antibody against bovine bone morphogenetic protein was used for demonstration of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) in neoplastic bone diseases. The avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex method demonstrated that BMP mainly exists in the cytoplasm of tumor cells of osteosarcoma and chondrosarcoma. Immunostaining showed that a majority of osteosarcomas and all of the chondrosarcoma cells contained a large quantity of BMP. Conversely, none of the fibrosarcomas showed positive staining. Thus, it was possible to differentiate osteosarcomas from fibrosarcomas by immunostaining. In fibrous dysplasia of bone, BMP was abundant in the fibrocellular tissue that had osteogenic activity. In contrast, fibrous tissue of ossifying fibroma showed weak positive staining; only the osteoblasts rimming the bone showed a positive reaction. Immunostaining showed that BMP was also detected in other neoplastic bone diseases such as osteoma, chondroma, and other tumors.

We examined 35 cases of stomach carcinoma and 40 cases of colonic carcinoma with PNA associated with peroxidase (peanut agglutinin, lectin which binds to the terminal disaccharide galactose beta (1,3)-N-acetil-galacto-samine). In this way evaluation of the functional aspects of the normal-neoplastic sequence was undertaken. This method was carried out for histological and ultrastructural investigations. The results obtained in both cases showed a different reactivity in the evolution of neoplastic disease: in fact, positivity in dysplasia is finely granular intracytoplasmic, whereas in well-differentiated neoplastic transformation such a reactivity is preferentially localized along the cellular membranes, with restoration of gross positivity in the cytoplasm for the poorly-differentiated neoplasm. We therefore believe PNA to be a marker not only of neoplastic progression but of differentiation as well: we also hypothesize it to reveal glycoprotein groups with possible antigenic power, involved in immunologic interactions between tumor and host.
