ABSTRACT

Background and purpose:It is increasingly focused on that insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 4 (IGFBP-4) effect cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis of tumor cells, and pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPPA) plays an important role in IGF-1-dependent IGFBP-4 protease mechanism that regulats tumor cells' growth. This study aimed to investigate the serum levels and clinical signiifcance of IGF-1, IGFBP-4, and PAPPA in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods:IGF-1, IGFBP-4, and PAPPA plasma levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay from 82 patients with NSCLC and 40 control subjects, then the correlations between variables were assessed by Spearman correlation analysis, and associations between the IGFs variables and lung cancer risk were calculated through the odds ratio (OR) and its 95%conifdence interval (CI) with the use of unconditional logistic regression analysis. Results:Serum levels of IGF-1, IGFBP-4 and PAPPA in NSCLC patients were signiifcantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05). There was a signiifcant positive correlation between the serum IGF-1 levels and PAPPA levels (r=0.835,P=0.000), and a negative correlation with IGFBP-4 levels (r=-0.612,P=0.000). IGFBP-4 and PAPPA levels were negatively correlated(r=-0.673, P=0.000). High plasma levels of IGF-1(OR=2.28, 95%CI: 1.25-4.36,P=0.008) and PAPPA (OR=1.64, 95%CI: 0.89-3.01,P=0.046)were associated with an increased risk of lung cancer, however high plasma levels of IGFBP-4(OR=0.54, 95%CI:0.30-1.01,P=0.047)were associated with reduced risk of lung cancer. Conclusion:To detect IGF-1, IGFBP-4 and PAPPA in serum in NSCLC patients is meaningful for the clinical auxiliary diagnosis and biology behavior prediction of NSCLC. And further study of signal transduction pathways of IGFs with the occurrence and development of NSCLC is a meaningful research direction.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>To maximize the preservation of functional pulmonary parenchyma and improve the quality of life of patients with centrally located lung cancer, trachea-bronchoplasty has been used in clinical application with good efficacy. The aim of this study is to explore the appropriate admission and management of trachea-bronchoplasty and prevent complications of trachea-bronchial sleeve resection in the treatment of centrally located lung cancer.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Seventy-six patients with central lung cancer, who were treated with trachea-bronchoplasty from June, 1988 to October, 2004, were analyzed. There were 49 cases of squamous cell carcinoma, 16 adenocarcinoma, 7 adenosquamous carcinoma, 3 small cell lung cancer and 1 adenoid cystic adenocarcinoma. Seventeen patients were in stage I, 39 in stage II, 17 in stage IIIA and 3 in stage IIIB. There were 55 cases of sleeve lobectomy, 12 lobectomy with wedge resection of the main bronchus, 8 big arc resection of superior lobar bronchus-main trachea-lateral wall of trachea, 1 resection of right upper lobe-right main bronchus-carina-lateral trachea and carinal reconstruction.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Postoperative complications happened in 7 patients. Pneumonia and atelectasis occurred in 6 cases, in which 1 died of heart and respiratory failure. Another one died of haemorrhage of upside alimentary canal. Seventy-one patients were followed up (93.4%). The 1-, 3-, 5-year survival rate was 82.4% (56/68), 57.8% (26/45) and 41.7% (15/36) respectively.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The trachea-bronchoplasty can not only preserve functional pulmonary parenchyma as much as possible and improve the quality of life of patients, but also provide an operative opportunity to those patients with poor pulmonary function in the treatment of centrally located lung cancer.</p>
