RESUMEN

The serotonin transporter gene (5-HTT) encodes a transmembrane protein that plays an important role in regulating serotonergic neurotransmission and related aspects of mood and behaviour. The short allele of a 44 bp insertion/deletion polymorphism (S-allele) within the promoter region of the 5-HTT gene (5-HTTLPR) confers lower transcriptional activity relative to the long allele (L-allele) and may act to modify the risk of serotonin-mediated outcomes such as anxiety and substance use behaviours. The purpose of this study was to determine whether (or not) 5-HTTLPR genotypes moderate known associations between attachment style and adolescent anxiety and alcohol use outcomes. Participants were drawn from an eight-wave study of the mental and behavioural health of a cohort of young Australians followed from 14 to 24 years of age (Victorian Adolescent Health Cohort Study, 1992 - present). No association was observed within low-risk attachment settings. However, within risk settings for heightened anxiety (ie, insecurely attached young people), the odds of persisting ruminative anxiety (worry) decreased with each additional copy of the S-allele (approximately 30% per allele: OR 0.77, 95% CI 0.62-0.97, P=0.029). Within risk settings for binge drinking (ie, securely attached young people), the odds of reporting persisting high-dose alcohol consumption (bingeing) decreased with each additional copy of the S-allele (approximately 35% per allele: OR 0.74, 95% CI 0.64-0.86, P<0.001). Our data suggest that the S-allele is likely to be important in psychosocial development, particularly in those settings that increase risk of anxiety and alcohol use problems.

RESUMEN

Microvessel density of benign, borderline and malignant ovarian tumours was studied immunohistochemically using antibodies to the endothelial cell markers CD31, CD34 and factor VIII-related antigen. Microvessel density was compared in tumours of different histological subtype, stage and patient outcome. CD31-immunostained sections were examined and regions of high and average microvessel density were selected. Identical regions were located on CD34- and factor VIII-related antigen-immunostained serial sections and microvessel counts obtained and converted to vessels mm(-2). CD31 and CD34 immunostaining revealed increased microvessel density in both the high and average vessel density regions of mucinous (222.4 +/- 24.8; 79.9 +/- 8.5) compared with serous (105.4 +/- 20.7; 33.3 +/- 6.8) and benign (84.4 +/- 19.4; 20.4 +/- 4.4) tumours (P < 0.001). CD31 and CD34 immunostaining also revealed increased microvessel density in early-stage mucinous tumours (234.6 +/- 28.2; 87.8 +/- 9.2) compared with that observed in both early- (72.8 +/- 15; 12.9 +/- 2.4) and late- (115.6 +/- 26.5; 29.8 +/- 8.5) stage serous tumours (P < 0.001). No differences in microvessel density in samples from patients with differing outcomes were observed (P > 0.05). Reduced factor VIII-related antigen compared with CD31 and CD34 immunostaining was observed in both borderline and malignant mucinous and serous tumours (P < 0.02) but not in benign tumours (P > 0.05). Our results contradict the putative association between increased microvessel density and poor prognosis and suggest that the level and control of angiogenesis may differ between ovarian tumour types.
