A study on the correlation between FHIT protein and cPKC? expression and invasion and metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer / 西安交通大学学报(医学版)

Objective To investigate the role of FHIT protein and cPKC? in invasion and metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods The expression of FHIT protein and cPKC? in 41 specimens of NSCLC and 11 cases benign lung tissues were examined by immunohistochemical technique.Results The positive rate of FHIT protein and cPKC? in NSCLC tissues were 48.8% and 53.7% respectively.The positive rate of FHIT protein and cPKC? in benign lung tissues were 90.9% and 18.2% respectively.They were significantly different(P

Comparative analysis of conventional smear and liquid-based cytology method to diagnose lung cancer in sputum samples / 西安交通大学学报(医学版)

Objective To make a comparative analysis of conventional smear and liquid-based cytology method to diagnose lung cancer in sensitivity and false-negative,and evaluate the application value of liquid-based cytology in sputum samples.Methods We collected 287 sputum samples through clinical contrast conventional smear with liquid-based cytology method.The diagnosis was made by the same pathology panel in double blind way.We compared the two methods to diagnose lung cancer in sensitivity and false-negative.Results Liquid-based cytology method detected 62 cases of lung cancer,and conventional smear detected 49 cases of lung cancer,with the sensitivity rate being 21.6% and 17.1%,respectively.Combination of the two methods made the sensitivity rate 24.0%.The false-negative rate was 38.6% for liquid-based cytology method and 48.5% for conventional smear which did not differ significantly.By combining the two methods,the false-negative rate was 24.0%.There was no significant difference between liquid-based cytology method and conventional smear,and between liquid-based cytology method and the two-method combination in sensitivity and false-negative.But there was a significant difference between the two-method combination and conventional smear.Conclusion Through sputum sample detection of lung cancer cell,liquid-based cytology method is better than conventional smear,the former having obvious superiority;combining the two methods can detect more lung cancers.Therefore,it is a superior screening test in detecting lung cancer and worthy of clinical popularization.

Evaluation of FHIT gene detection for early diagnosis lung cancer in sputum specimen / 西安交通大学学报(医学版)

Objective By detecting microsatellite instability(MSI) and loss of heterozygosity(LOH) in FHIT gene in sputum specimen,we intended to evaluate the sensitivity of FHIT gene detection to early diagnosis of lung cancer and explore effective method to screen lung cancer.Methods Based on liquid-based cytology,we collected and isolated sputum specimens in high risk group,abstracted DNA,and detected MSI and LOH in FHIT gene.Results The positive rate of MSI or LOH at single locus was between 41.6% and 49.5%;the site D3S1300 was the highest and it was 49.5%.At least 1 site out of 3 sites that had abnormal microsatellite accounted for 72.3% in lung cancer patients,two sites that appeared to change accounted for 45.5%,which was significantly different compared to non-lung cancer patients(P
