ABSTRACT
BacKground:Acetic acid spray combined with narrow-band imaging ( NBI ) endoscopy can improve the earIy diagnosis of coIorectaI cancer and precancerous Iesions. Aims:To assess the vaIue of acetic acid spray combined with NBI in diagnosis of earIy coIorectaI cancer and precancerous Iesions. Methods:A totaI of 236 coIorectaI cancer and precancerous Iesions in 180 patients detected by screening endoscopy from Nov. 2011 to JuIy 2013 were enroIIed in this study. Acetic acid spray combined with NBI( combination group),singIe NBI,and indigo carmine staining were used to observe pit pattern,bIood capiIIary forms of the Iesion and mucosa whitening time,and vaIues of the three methods in diagnosis of earIy coIorectaI cancer and precancerous Iesions were evaIuated. Results:Image cIarity of pit pattern in combination group was significantIy improved than that in NBI group and indigo carmine group(χ2 =15. 113,P=0. 000;χ2 =6. 128,P=0. 013);image cIarity of bIood capiIIary forms in combination group was significantIy improved than that in NBI group(χ2 =7. 384,P =0. 007). The overaII coincidence rates of diagnosis in combination group,NBI group, indigo carmine group were 91. 9%,89. 0%,86. 9%,respectiveIy. The diagnosis rate of pit pattern in combination group was significantIy higher than that in NBI group(χ2 =4. 490,P=0. 034),but no significant difference in bIood capiIIary forms was found between combination group and NBI group. The sensitivity of type Ⅲ,Ⅳ,Ⅴ pit pattern,type Ⅱ,ⅢbIood capiIIary forms,mucosa whitening time <30 seconds for diagnosis of coIorectaI cancer and precancerous Iesions in combination group were 94. 0%,92. 8%,92. 2%,respectiveIy,the specificity were 87. 4%,88. 1%,88. 0%, respectiveIy,and the accuracy were 91. 5%,91. 1%,90. 7%,respectiveIy. The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of type ⅤN or highIy irreguIar ⅤI pit pattern,type ⅢB bIood capiIIary forms and mucosa whitening time 0-5 seconds for predicting invasive carcinoma in combination group were aII quite weII. Conclusions:Acetic acid spray combined with NBI can cIearIy show the pit pattern and bIood capiIIary forms of earIy coIorectaI cancer and precancerous Iesions,and is fairIy consistent with the pathoIogicaI diagnosis. It is heIpfuI for diagnosing the nature of Iesion and depth of invasion.
ABSTRACT
Objective Toinvestigatethepossibilityandquantitativerangeofpepsinogen(PG)usedas the screening marker of gastric cancer by detecting serum pepsinogen level in different gastric mucous pathologic status.Method ThelevelofserumpepsinogenⅠ(PGⅠ)andpepsinogenⅡ(PGⅡ)bytimeresolvedfluoro-immunoassay(TRFIA)in 64 chronic atrophic gastritis patients,63 gastric mucous atypical hyperplasia patients, 67 gastric cancer patients and 20 healthy volunteers were defeeted ,and the ratio of PGR(PGⅠ/PGⅡ)was calculated.Then the three kinds of diseases were graded.The data was analyzed between groups and sub-groups.Result ①Compared with normal control group,the median PGⅠvalues were 1 24.01 ,91 .23 and 71 .23 respectively,which were all lower than that of healthy group (1 52.00).There were significant differ-ences(Z=-2.52,P=0.01 7 0;Z=-3.42,P=0.001 4;Z=-3.57,P=0.000 9).The median PGR values were 7.61 ,5.21 and 4.32 respectively,which were also lower than that of healthy group,the differences were significant(Z=-2.98,P=0.002 9;Z=-3.1 7,P=0.000 2;Z=-2.89,P=0.000 1 ).The PGⅡlevel of these diseases were not significantly different with control group.②The serum PGⅠlevel of gastric mucous atypical hyperplasia and gastric cancer were reduced significantly in contrast with atrophic gastritis (Z =-3.42,P =0.001 4;Z=-3.62,P=0.000 9);the levels of PGⅡand PGR were varied without significance (P>0.05 );③The levels of PGⅠamong atrophy gastritis and gastric cancer subgroup have no significant difference(χ2 =2.86,P=0.41 4 3;χ2 =1 .67,P=0.1 36 8).But the level of PGⅠwas significantly different in gastric atypical hyperplasia(χ2 =0.83,P=0.043 0).It decreased in light and medium grade dysplasia and went up in severe grade dysplasia.The levels of PGⅡ and PGR were varied without significance(P>0.05).④The areas under the ROC curves performed by the PGⅠ and PGR from normal control group and atypical hyperplasia group were 0.782 and 0.831 respectively;The sensitivity and specificity of PGⅠ≤72.1 2 μg/L and PGR≤4.32 for gastric dysplasia were 89.48%and 76.31%respectively.Conclusion ①The level of PGⅠand PGR were decreased along with the seriousness of gastric pathological changes and probably regarded as the screening markers of gastric mucous malignant transformation.②Serum pepsinogen level is closely correlated with gastric precancerous lesion,PGI≤72.1 2 μg/L and PGR≤4.32 has better specificity and sensitivity for gastric atypical hyperplasia in this area.
