lymph-space
1.The expression of CK19 and CK20 mRNA were significantly correlated w ith lymph vascular space involvement,but was not associated with prognostic fac tors including stage,differentiation,pathological types ,lymph node metastasis ,bully tumor size . In patients with CK19 mRNA(+)/CK20 mRNA(+),the rate of lymp h node metastasis and vascular space involvement and recurrence outside the pelv is was significantly higher than that of patients with CK1R mNA9(-)/CK20 mRNA(- )(P<0.01).
2.subcarinal space was situated between the tracheal bifurcation and the left atrium at the levels from the tra-cheal carina to the right pulmonary artery, the space was 18. 6±3. 3 mm in height and 12. 1±. 1 4 mm in thichness. Inferior tracheobronchial lymph nodes within the space was visible constantly and its short diameter was 7. 1±1. 1 mm.
3.Methods By using the Chamberlain procedure, biopsy was performed in 32 cases of enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes with unknown causes or mediastinal space-taking lesions, which were found by CT scans.
4.Objective To explore the value of left parasternal anterior mediastinaotomy (Chamberlain procedure) in the diagnosis of mediastinal lymph node enlargement with unknown causes and anterior mediastinal space-taking lesions.
