ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the levels of glypican 3 (GPC3) and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in the serum of patients with primary liver cancer and its diagnostic value in liver cancer.Methods:A total of 277 patients with primary liver cancer, 108 patients with gastric cancer, 40 patients with hepatitis alone, 19 patients with hepatitis combined with other cancers other than liver cancer and 54 healthy controls in Shanxi Provincial Cancer Hospital between June 2018 and January 2019 were collected. The serum samples from all patients were taken. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect GPC3 level in all specimens. Electrochemiluminescence was used to detect the level of AFP. The diagnostic value of GPC3 or AFP alone and a combination of both for liver cancer was also compared. The relationship between GPC3 and AFP was also analyzed.Results:The serum GPC3 level [median (interquartile range)] in primary liver cancer, gastric cancer, the hepatitis only, the hepatitis combined with other cancer and healthy control was 0.079 ng/ml (0.198 ng/ml), 0.048 ng/ml (0.044 ng/ml), 0.073 ng/ml (0.053 ng/ml), 0.050 ng/ml (0.018 ng/ml), 0.023 ng/ml (0.011 ng/ml), respectively. The GPC3 level in the primary liver cancer was higher than that in the gastric cancer, hepatitis combined with other cancers other than liver cancer, the healthy controls (all P < 0.05), and there was no statistically significant difference in the level of GPC3 between the primary liver cancer and the hepatitis only ( P = 0.520). The sensitivity and specificity of GPC3 for the diagnosis of primary liver cancer was 69.5% and 94.4%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of AFP for the diagnosis of primary liver cancer was 63.9% and 94.0%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of the combined detection of liver cancer was 80.2% and 94.3%, respectively. The ratio of positive likelihood ratio and negative likelihood ratio was 38.42, 27.73 and 67.01, respectively in liver cancer diagnosed with GPC3, AFP and both of them. The expression of serum GPC3 was associated with AFP ( r = 0.34, P < 0.01). Conclusions:The detection of GPC3 combined with AFP can increase the detection rate of primary liver cancer, and it has a certain clinical significance in the early screening and diagnosis of primary liver cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the status and influencing factors of thyroid disease in breast cancer patients, and to identify the high-risk people with thyroid disease. Methods Breast cancer patients were continually collected from Jan 2016 to Mar 2016 in Shanxi Cancer Hospital. Age, surgery time, the state of thyroid disease, medical record, the general condition, immunohistochemistry and pathological findings, thyroid B-mode ultrasonography were investigated respectively. All cases were divided into two groups according to whether to suffer from thyroid disease or not. The influencing factors for thyroid disease in patients with breast cancer were screened. Logistic regression was used for univariate and multivariate analysis. Results A total of 293 cases (69.3 %) suffered from thyroid disease in 423 breast cancer patients. The univariate analysis showed that prevalence rate of thyroid disease had statistical differences in age [<50 years old:49.5%(145/293) vs. 76.1%(99/130); ≥50 years old:50.5%(148/293) vs. 23.9%(31/130);χ2=24.297, P<0.001], body mass index [18.5-23.9 kg/m2:41.0%(120/293) vs. 52.3%(68/130);24.0-27.9 kg/m2:45.4%(133/293) vs. 40.8 % (53/130); ≥28.0 kg/m2: 13.7 % (40/293) vs. 6.9 % (9/130); χ2= 6.395, P=0.041], menopausal state [not: 59.7%(175/293) vs. 77.7%(101/130); yes: 40.3%(118/293) vs. 22.3%(29/130);χ2=12.443, P<0.001], estrogen receptor (ER) [ER--ER+: 44.0%(129/293) vs. 56.9%(74/130);ER++ - ER+++: 56.0 % (164/293) vs. 43.1 % (56/130); χ2 = 5.951, P= 0.015]. There were no significant differences in the times of pregnancy and production, history of abortion, progesterone receptor (PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2), triple negative breast cancer, T stage, N stage, histological grade and TNM stage (P> 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the risk factors were age (OR= 3.928, 95 %CI=1.819-8.482, P<0.001) and ER++-ER+++(OR= 1.696, 95 %CI= 1.094-2.628, P= 0.018). Conclusion Age≥50 and ER++-ER+++are the major influencing factors of thyroid disease for patients with breast cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the correlation between lymphatic metastasis and central lymph node metastasis and pre-surgery levels of serum thyrotropin (TSH), thyrobolulin (TG), anti-thyrobolulin antibodies (A-TG), anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies (A-TPO) in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Methods The clinical characteristics such as sex, age, tumor diameter, and some markers of thyroid function detection in 289 simple PTC cases were retrospectively analyzed, and their roles in lymphatic metastasis and central lymph node metastasis were discussed. Results Age < 45 years old (χ2= 5.86, P =0.02),multifocal(χ2=38.95, P<0.001), serum increased A-TG level(χ2=13.31,P <0.001) or A-TPO level (χ2= 7.30, P< 0.01) leaded to higher rate of lymphatic metastasis. Different TSH levels had different impact on lymphatic metastasis (χ2= 11.81, P = 0.02). When at 1.81-2.52 mU/L, the lowest rate of lymphatic metastasis was 34.68 %. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that focus (OR= 3.29, 95 % CI 1.85-5.52) and serum A-TG level (OR= 2.17, 95 % CI 1.11-4.26) were risk factors, whereas TSH at 1.81-2.52 mIU/L was more safe factor in simple PTC cases with lymphatic metastasis (OR= 0.28,95 % CI 0.09-0.85). Different groups of age (χ2= 11.54, P= 0.001), focal (χ2= 38.95, P< 0.001), serum TG level (χ2=9.01, P=0.01), A-TG level (χ2=14.51, P <0.001) or A-TPO level (χ2= 6.78, P= 0.02) leaded to statistically different central lymph node metastasis ending; further analysis showed that age (OR= 0.96, 95 % CI 0.94-0.98) and focus (OR= 5.47, 95 % CI 3.09-9.69) were risk factors of central lymph node metastatic in PTC patients. Conclusion Higher pre-surgery serum A-TG level and multifocal predict lymphatic metastasis, TSH level in 1.81-2.52 mU/L indicates lower rate of lymphatic metastasis, but age<45 years old and multifocal PTC patients are apt to occur central lymph node metastasis.

ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the association of expressions and gene polymorphism of leptin receptor (LEPR) in breast cancer with tumorigenesis,development and clinicopathologic factors.Methods The immunohistochemical method and polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) were used to evaluate LEPR expressions and LEPR Gln223Arg polymorphism in 150 cases with breast cancer,80 cases with benign breast lesions,50 cases with corresponding normal breast tissue and 128 healthy controls.Results The expression rate of LEPR genes in breast cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in benign breast lesions and that in corresponding normal breast tissues [70.67 ％ (106/150) vs 56.25 ％ (45/80) vs 44.00 ％ (22/50),P ＜ 0.005].In breast cancer patients,LEPR gene Gin223Arg genotype polymorphism (GG,GA and AA) frequencies were 70.00 ％ (105 cases),16.67 ％ (25 cases) and 13.33 ％ (20 cases),which were significantly different from those in the benign breast lesions [82.50 ％ (66 cases),13.75 ％ (11 cases),3.75 ％ (3 cases)],those in corresponding normal breast tissues [82.00 ％ (41 cases),14.00 ％ (7 cases),4.00 ％ (2 cases)] or those in the health controls [82.81％ (106 cases),14.85 ％ (19 cases) and 2.34 ％ (3 cases)] (X2 =11.56,P =0.003),while the differences of GG,GA and AA genotype requencies among the breast benign disease group,cancer adjacent normal breast group and healthy control group were not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05).The frequencies of alleles genes in breast cancer patients (G and A) were 78.33 ％ (235 cases) and 21.67 ％ (65 cases),and the differences were statistically significant compared with those in the benign disease group or in healthy control group (X2 =12.52,P =0.001).The positive expression rate of LEPR gene in patients with lymph node metastasis was 87.8 ％,which was higher than that in patients with no lymph node metastasis (60.2 ％) (P =0.02).According to the results of multivariable analyses,high expression of LEPR gene,LEPR Gin223Arg gene polymorphisms and increased waist-hip ratio (WHR) were risk factors for breast cancer (all OR ＞ 1).Conclusion High expression of LEPR,LEPR Gln233Arg polymorphism and the elevated WHR may be correlated with breast cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective The purpose of this study was to discuss the clinical significance of serum levels of Pro-gastrin-releasing peptide (ProGRP) in diagnosis,therapy monitoring and prognosis in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC).Methods Clinical diagnostic trial.Serum levels of ProGRP were measured by ELISA assays in 413 SCLC patients,418 NSCLC,120 with benign pulmonary diseases patients and 200 healthy subjects.Patients were recuited by the Shanxi Cancer Hospital from Dec.2005 to Oct.2008.Three hundreds and sixty-eight patients with SCLC were followed up from Dec.2005 to Oct.2011.The receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) was used to set the cut-off value of ProGRP and the area under ROC (ROC-AUC).The sensitivity and specificity of ProGRP were analyzed for diagnosing SCLC.The survival analysis was performed by the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox's proportional hazards model for multivariate analysis of prognosis.Results Using healthy subjects group as control,the largest Youden index point of ROC was used to set the cut-off values of ProGRP and NSE (45.3 ng/L and 12.4 ng/L).The ROC-AUC of ProGRP was 0.798 (95％ CI:0.746-0.850)the sensitivity and specificity were 79.2％,98.1％ respectively.The AUC of NSE was 0.786(95％ CI:0.726-0.746),the sensitivity and specificity were 71.9％,96.7％ respectively; Combing detection of ProGRP and NSE,the sensitivity and specificity were 88.1％,95.8％ respectively.Serum levels of ProGRP in healthy subjects,benign pulmonary diseases,NSCLC and SCLC groups were 6.9 (5.3-8.6),36.8 (26.3-43.4),21.3 (18.6-35.2) and 1758.7 (368.4-2967.3) μg/L respectively.The serum levels of ProGRP in SCLC groups were significantly higher than those in the healthy group,benign pulmonary diseases group and NSCLC group (H =103.66,P =0.000).Serum levels of ProGRP in SCLC at stage Ⅰ-],stage m,stage Ⅳ were 543.3 (256.8-843.2),1440.6 (1042.4-2543.3) and 1897.6 (1586.5-3958.7) μg/L,respectively (H =25.974,P =0.000).Serum levels of ProGRP in 165 SCLC patients with complete remission(CR) were significantly declined after treatment (U =11.65,P ＜ 0.01).The levels of ProGRP in 146 SCLC patients with partial remission(PR) slowly decreased (U =9.17,P ＜ 0.01).Thirty-nine cases with progressive disease (PD)and 63 cases with stable disease(SD) presented elevated ProGRP levels (U =3.314,P ＜ 0.001 ; U =2.54,P ＜ 0.01,respectively).By the end of October 31st 2011,a total of 368 cases with SCLC were followedup.Ratio of follow-up was 89.1％.There were 56 deaths in 119 SCLC patients with ProGRP ＜ 1000 μg/L (median time =16.0 months,4-23 months) ; 159 deaths in 249 with ProGRP ＞ 1000 μg/L (median survival time =12.0 months,2-18 months).Median survival time of the two groups showed significant differences(x2 =11.04,P =0.001).Multivariate analysis by Cox's proportional hazards model revealed that ProGRP was independent prognostic factor related to the overall survival (OS) of SCLC patients.Conclusions The serum ProGRP is valuable tumor marker for diagnosis,treat monitoring and prognosis of SCLC.It's important to predict relapses and recurrence of diseases earlier,instruct therapy and prognosis assessment.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the correlation between the levels of squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCAg)and the clinicopathological characteristics of patients with cervical squamous carcinoma.To study the relationship of serum SCCAg levels of patients with recurrent cervical squamous carcinoma and disease prognosis and to investigate the survival rate of patients with recurrent cervical squamous carcinoma.Method ELISA method was used to determine the serum SCCAg levels for the patients,which included 300 cases before treatment and 500 cases after treatment.Results(1)Single factor analysis indicated that,before the treatment,the serum SCCAg levels were closely related to clinical stages,lymphatic metastasis,and deep myometrial invasion (t =3.01,P ＜ O.05 ; t =6.81,P ＜ 0.001 ; t =3.01,P ＜ 0.05 ; respectively).However,they were not related to patient's age,vascular embolization and tumor growth type(t =0.77,t =1.12,t =1.06 ; respectively,all P ＞ 0.05).Multifactor logistic regression analysis showed that the pretreatment SCCAg levels of patients were related to clinical stages,cavum pelvis lymphatic metastasis and myometrial invasion(x2 =2.88,P =0.0084; x2 =2.612,P =0.0156; x2 =2.570,P =0.0171 ; respectively).(2)Overall,recurrent disease developed in 180 of the 500 patients with cervical squamous carcinoma.One hundred and sixty-one recurrent patients showed elevated SCCAg levels(161/180,89.4％).For the 60 patients who showed elevated.SCCAg levels without any clinical symptoms as well as no sign of tumors by iconography,the median time for signs of elevating levels of serum SCCAg was 2.3 months.The longest time range was 150d between the increasing levels of the tumor markers and the appearance of the imaging features of pachygyria while the patients condition was going on.The 160 patients out of the 180 cases with recurrent cervical squamous carci noma who were followed up had a median survival time of 9 months,with an average of 20 months.The total 3 year survival rate and 5 year survival rate was respectively 23.4％ and 17.8％.(3)Single factor analysis indicated that recurrent patients’clinical stages,recurrent region and recurrent post treatment SCCAg levels were closely related with patients' survival time(x2 =10.26,P＜0.005; x2 =14.65,P ＜0.005; x2 =8.97,P＜0.01; respectively).There was no statistical difference between the survival rate of recurrent patients with increased SCCAg level and patients without increased SCCAg levels(x2 =0.89,P ＞ 0.05).Multiple factor analysis indicated that the clinical stages,recurrent post treatment SCCAg levels of patients with recurrence were independent prognostic factors(x2 =10.3372,P =0.0013 ; x2 =4.3889,P =0.0362; respectively).Conclusion The pretreatment SCCAg levels are closely related to patients'clinical stages,cavum pelvis lymphatic metastasis and deep myometrial invasion.Serum SCCAg levels are important for the advanced detection of cervical squamous carcinoma recurrence and prognosis prediction.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the role of adiponectin in the cell growth,apoptosis and cell cycle of the T47D breast cancer cell line and to find out the pathogenesis of breast cancer.Methods The cell cycle of the T47D cell line was examined by flow cytometry and apoptosis was detected by Annexin Ⅴ-FITC/PI stain method.Results T47D cell line adhered to the cell wall by single layer culture,irregular shape,and cell amounts increased over time.(1) Though different concentrations of adiponectin had a certain action on restraining the cell in different times,there were no significance(P＞0.05).(2)After treated with 500 ng/ml and 2000 ng/ml adiponectin on T47D cells for 48 h,the proportion of G0/G1 phase was (91.07±0.63)％,(91.60±0.98)％,respectively.Compared with the control group (85.31±1.07)％,the difference was statistically significant(F=29.277,P=0.011).But the difference of S and G2/M phase was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).(3) The difference of early apoptosis rate among control group,500 ng/ml and 2000 ng/ml adiponectin was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).The same concentration of adiponectin could not induce the early apoptosis and total apoptosis of T47D cells(P＞0.05,respectively).Conclusion The low adiponectin level may be the risk factor of breast cancer.The adiponectin may regulate the distribution of cell cycle.It may induce G0/G1 phase arrest of T47D cells and reduce the DNA synthesis.It suggested that adiponectin may serve as a protective factor of breast cancer development.

ObjectiveTo study the value of serum phosphopyruvate hydratase PH protein for the diagnosis of cerebral injuries in patients with brain malignant tumor.MethodsSerum PH protein levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 56 patients with brain malignant tumor. Compare the differences among the status of cerebral injuries.And compare the differences among the patients with general with different radiotherapy methods 32 cases,three dimensional conformal radiothrapy 24 cases,and different peritumoral brain edema levels(cmild 18 cases, moderate ao cases severe 30 cases). Results Before radiotherapy the levels of serum PH protein in patients and the health control were (4.12±0.56),(4.66±0.62)μg/L,no significant differece(P＞0.05).And there was also no significant difference between the before and after radiotherapy for the cerebroma,the levels were(7.84±0.72) μg/L,(t=3.89,P=0.001 ).The PH levels of general radiation therapy and three dimensional comformal radiotherapy were (13.59±0.92),(6.14±0.52)μg/L.There was cignificant difference(P=0.002) After radiotherapy,The levels of serum PH protein of the different dropsical degree,mild,moderate and severe were(4.47:±0.55),(6.17±0.62),(15.21±0.86) μg/L, respectively,showing significant difference(F=15.61,P=0.0001).The therapies influenced the serum PH levels(P＜0.05)ConclusionHigh levels of serum PH protein are associated with severe cerebral injuries in brain malignant tumor.So high serum PH level may serve as an progressive predictor of the injury.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of leptin on proliferation and apoptosis of breast cancer MCF-7 cell line,and to explore the effect of leptin on occurrence and development of breast cancer.Method The MCF-7 cell line was treated with different concentration of leptin in vitro.Cell proliferation was evaluated by MTT assay. Distribution of cell cycle was determined by flow cytomery, meanwhile the rates of apoptosis were estimated on the basis of Annexin V-FITC/PI apoptosis detection. Results When treated with different concentration of leptin for 24 h, 48 h and 72 h, they could significantly induce the proliferation of MCF-7 cells by MTT method.There was not interaction between concentration of leptin and time course (F=0.919,P=0.523).The main effect of concentration of leptin and time course was statistically significant (F=12.699,P=0.000;F=647.881, P=0.000). Compared 200 ng/ml and 400 ng/ml with the control group, we found the difference was statistically significant by multiple comparison (P=0.007,P=0.000,respectively).The difference was also statistically significant among time course by multiple comparison (P=0.000,respectively).By the flow cytometry analysis,it was found that the 100 ng/ml and 400 ng/ml leptin groups could change the distribution of cell cycle of MCF-7 cell line after 48 h. Compared with control group, the cell number decreased by 14.42 ％ in G0/G1 phase (F=10.464, P=0.044),but increased by 7.57 ％ and 22.19 ％ respectively in S phase (F=47.361,P=0.005).The difference was not statistically significant in G2/M phase (F=1.77, P=0.311).However, the effect of apoptosis inhibition was not obvious. Conclusions Leptin could stimulate the proliferation of MCF-7 cell line and change the distribution of cell cycle.But leptin could not inhibit apoptosis of MCF-7 cell line.It suggested that leptin may serve as a risk factor of breast cancer development.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the association of expressions of leptin and leptin receptor in breast cancer with tumorigenesis and development and clinicopathologic factors.Methods The expression of leptin and leptin receptor was performed in 132 cases of breast cancer,66 cases of benign breast lesions,and 30 cases of corresponding normal breast tissue by using immunohistochemical methods. ResultsThe expressions of leptin and leptin receptor were 76.5 ％ (101/132) and 70.5 ％ (92/132).It was significantly higher than that in benign breast lesions 56.1％ (37/66) and 56.1％ (37/66),and corresponding normal breast tissues 46.7 ％ (14/30) and 43.3 ％ (13/30) (x2 =8.72,P =0.003,x2 =4.04,P =0.044,x2 =10.57,P =0.001and x2 =7.94, P =0.005).The level of leptin expression showed a significant correlation with the level of leptin receptor (r =0.307,P ＜ 0.05).The expression of leptin and leptin receptor in breast cancer tissue were not significantly related to ages,menopause,tumor size,classification,pathological type,distant metastasis,ER and PR expression (P ＞ 0.05).The positive rate of leptin in patients with lymph node metastasis was 91.7 ％,which was significantly higher than that in patients without lymph node metastasis (67.9 ％,x2 =10.65,P =0.002).Conclusions The expressions of leptin and leptin receptor have a significant correlation with breast cancer and may have the promoting effect on the carcinogenesis and development of breast cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the clinical values and relativity of serum levels of NSE and ProGRP (P31-98) in patients with small-cell lung cancer. Methods Serum levels of NSE and ProGRP (31-98) was measured by ELISA in 159 patients with small cell lung cancer(SCLC), 99 patients with benign lung diseases, and 100 healthy subjects, 141 SCLC patients before and after treatment were also measured. Results The medians of NSE and ProGRP (31-98) was 21.33 μg/L and 323.70 pg/ml in patients with SCLC, 4.24 μg/L and 11.94 pg/ml in patients with benign lung diseases, 5.82 μg/L and 8.54 pg/ml in healthy subjects respectively,significantly increased in patients with SCLC as compared to that of the other two groups (P ＜0.01).Given the cut-off levels of 10.35 pg/L for NSE and 47.98 pg/ml for ProGRP(31-98), the sensitivity of diagnosis in SCLC was 71.1% and 88.7 %, respectively.The combination sensitivity and specificity of NSE and ProGRP(31-98)was 95.6 % and 96.8 %. The medians of NSE in SCLC patients with extensive and limited disease was 14.75 μg/L and 34.10 μg/L, the sensitivity was 51.14 % and 93.44 %, respectively; ProGRP (31-98) in the two groups was 143.14 pg/ml and 1061.14 pg/ml, 80.61% and 98.61%, respectively.In SCLC patients with remission after treatment the levels of NSE and ProGRP31-98 was significantly lower than that before treatment, but the levels without remission had no significantly change. There was significant relationship between NSE and ProGRP(31-98) in serum levels of patients with SCLC (r =0.379, P ＜0.01).Conclusion The serum levels of NSE and ProGRP (31-98) in patients are both increased, there are a significant relationship.But ProGRP(31-98) is a more specific and sensitive marker than NSE for the diagnosis of SCLC.The combination of the two markers can improve positive rate and validity.

Methods: According to body weight, the mice with S180 and ECS tumor(half in male and female) were randomly divided into group NS and group selenium. The inhibitory rate?survival time, serum and liver glutathion peroxidase(GSH-Px)?superoxide dismutase(SOD) and malondialdehyde(MDA) were studied. Results: The inhibitory rates on S180 and ECS in group Se were significantly higher than those of the NS group(P
