AIM:To explore the regulator of G-protein signaling 5 (RGS5) expression in gastric carcinoma and its association with differentiation and microvascular density (MVD).METHODS:Expression of RGS5 and CD34 were examined in 76 cases of gastric carcinoma,including 22 cases with lymph node metastasis and 54 cases without lymph node metastasis determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC).MVD was assessed using CD34 monoclonal antibody.The presence of RGS5 and CD34 was analyzed by IHC using the Envision technique.RESULT...
