Differential diagnosis significance of detection of CEA,CYFRA21-1 and NSE in pleural effusion and serum for lung cancer / 国际检验医学杂志

Objective To explore clinical value of detection of carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA) ,cytokeratin 19 fragment(CY-FRA21-1) and neuron specific enolization enzyme(NSE) in pleural effusion and serum during the differential diagnosis and patho-logical classification of lung cancer .Methods 180 patients with pleural effusion were divided into two groups ,one including 55 be-nign pleural effusion cases(benign pleural effusion group) and the other including 125 lung cancer cases(lung cancer group) .CEA , NSE and CYFRA21-1 in pleural effusion and serum of two groups were measured ,respectively ,and the measure results between two groups were conducted .Results CEA ,NSE and CYFRA21-1 levels in lung cancer group were significantly higher than those in benign pleural effusion group(P<0 .05) .CEA levels in pleural effusion and serum in lung adenocarcinoma group were significantly higher than those in benign pleural effusion group ,lung squamous carcinoma group and small cell lung cancer group(P<0 .05) .CY-FRA21-1 levels in pleural effusion and serum in lung squamous carcinoma group were significantly higher than those in benign pleu-ral effusion group ,lung adenocarcinoma group and small cell lung cancer group(P<0 .01) .NSE levels in pleural effusion and serum in small cell lung cancer group were significantly higher than those in benign pleural effusion group ,lung adenocarcinoma group and lung squamous carcinoma group(P< 0 .01) .The positive detection rate of CEA in lung adenocarcinoma group was significantly higher than that in lung squamous carcinoma group and small cell lung cancer group(P<0 .05) .The positive detection rate of CY-FRA21-1 in lung squamous carcinoma group was significantly higher than that in lung adenocarcinoma group and small cell lung cancer group(P<0 .05) .The positive detection rate of NSE in small cell lung cancer group was significantly higher than that in lung squamous carcinoma group and lung adenocarcinoma group(P<0 .01) .Conclusion CEA ,CYFRA21-1 and NSE in pleural effusion and serum are specific tumor markers of lung adenocarcinoma ,lung squamous carcinoma and small cell lung cancer ,respectively , which may have a certain clinical significance for the differential diagnosis and pathological classification of lung cancer .

A Case of Basaloid Squamous Cell Lung Carcinoma in an 11-year-old Boy / 소아과

Primary lung cancer is unusual in children; the squamous cell variant is extremely rare. Lung cancer is classified by histologic types into small-cell lung cancer, non-small cell lung caner, carcinoid, mucoepidermoid carcinoma, and adenoid cystic carcinoma. Furthermore, non-small cell lung cancer is subclassified into adenocarcinoma, large-cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. The incidence of lung cancer is influenced by smoking, especially in squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma. The present treatments for these tumors are chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgical resection depending on their histologic types or stages, but yield very poor survival rates. In this article, we report a case of basaloid squamous cell lung carcinoma in an 11-year-old boy who had symptoms of both leg weakness and back pain radiating to both legs. We confirmed the primary lung carcinoma cells by percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy. The metastatic carcinoma cells were identified at the bone marrow and lumbar spine. We treated with a combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy. However, he expired 4 months after the onset of disease.

STUDY ON GENETIC INSTABILITY OF nm23H1 GENE IN CHINESE WITH SQUAMOUS CELL LUNG CARCINOMA / 解剖学报

0.05).Conclusion The increase in the amount of nm23H1 protein expression can play an important role in restraining metastasis of squamous cell lung carcinoma.The heredity instability(MSI and LOH) of nm23H1 gene may not be implicated in expression of the gene and pathogenesis and progression of squamous cell lung carcinoma.
