TXNIP and neoplasm: Then, the tumor tissue samples were divided into ahigh TXNIP group ( n=133) and a low TXNIP group ( n=85)based on the IHC intensities of TXNIP ( Figure 1B).Correlation analysis between TXNIP expression and clinicopathological characteristicsdemonstrated that TXNIP status was not associated with most clinicopathological variables,such as age, sex, tumor location, tumor diameter, CA 19-9 concentration, TNM stage orhistological grade ( Table 3).
