Does monocyte chemotactic protein-1 ( MCP-1 ) accelerate the organization and resolution of venous thrombi?
Venous thrombus MCP-1 levels increase during natural resolution. MCP-1 treatment increased the organization and resolution of thrombi. MCP-1 may therefore be of therapeutic use.
Ki-67 immunocytochemistry can be applied to liquid based cytology. The accuracy and diagnostic indices of the test are good when compared with those of other techniques. As part of a panel of screening procedures, it could be used as an adjunct to liquid based cytology to identify HSIL, and as a surrogate marker of HPV-16 infection.
