ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the clinical value of the combined detection of tumor type M2 pyruvate kinase (tumor M2-PK),tissue polypeptide specific antigen (TPS)and carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA)in the diagnosis of colorectal cancer.Methods The serum level of TPS and CEA,and the level of tumor M2-PK in fecal were detected in 74 patients with colorectal cancer and 60 healthy volunteers in our hospital.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy were performed the comparative analysis between the single detection and the combined detection.Results The serum levels of TPS,CEA and the level of tumor M2-PK in fecal in the colorectal cancer observation group were significantly higher than those in the healthy control group (P <0.05).There were signifi-cant differences in the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of TPS,CEA and tumor M2-PK between and the combined detection (P <0.05).In the comparison among the single detection of 3 tumor markers and between the single marker detection with the combined detection,the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of any single marker measurement was lower than that in the combined detection of 3 markers.Conclusion The combined detection of TPS,CEA and tumor M2-PK can improve the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy in diagnosing colorectal cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the value of SCCAg,CYFRA21-1 and TPS in the diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of patients with cell cervical cancer (SCC).Methods The levels of serum SCCAg,CYFRA21-1and TPS from 160 SCC patients and 60 health women were detected by means of ELISA.Results ( 1 ) The levels of serum SCCAg,CYFRA21-1and TPS in SCC were significantly higher than those of normal group ( P ＜0.001 ).The median values of normal group:0.43 μg/L,0.43 μg/L,26 U/L,the median values of cervical cancer group:1.96 μg/L,2.29 μg/L,149.1 U/L ( 2 ) The specificity of SCCAg,CYFRA21-1 and TPS in diagnosing SCC were both 100％.The sensitivity of SCCAg,CYFRA21-1 and TPS in diagnosing SCC was 53.42％,40.68％ and 83.95％,respectively.The sensitivity of TPS was obviously different from SCCAg and CYFRA21-1 ( P ＜0.001 ).The sensitivity of SCCAg plus CYFRA21-1 and three markers together were 69.23％and 92.31％,respectively.(3)The expressing of SCCAg,CYFRA21 -1 and TPS in FIGO stages Ⅲ plus Ⅳ was significantly higher than in stages Ⅰ plus Ⅱ (P ＜ 0.05 ),and all markers were not related to the degree of histological differentiation.SCCAg was correlated strongly with tumor size,growth type,lymph node metastasis and age( P ＜ 0.05 ),but CYFRA21-1 was not correlated with all these factors.TPS level was significantly associated with tumor size and lymph node metastasis( P ＜0.05 ),but not with growth type and age.(4)A total of 78 patients were followed up.The pretreatmental serum levels of SCCAg and CYFRA21-1 in patients with recurrence were significantly higher than those without recurrence( P ＜0.05 ).The same trend was not found for TPS.Compared with the normal control,the patients with elevated SCCAg before treatment has shorter intervals before recurrence and metastasis occurred.Also,the survival of patients with elevated SCCAg before treatment was shorter than the normal control ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion SCCAg,CYFRA21-1 and TPS serum levels are valuable markers for the diagnosis of SCC.Meanwhile,SCCAg and CYFRA21-1 are chnically significant pridictors for the prognosis of SCC.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the role of serum tissue polypeptide-specific antigen (TPS)detection in the evaluation of hepatocyte apoptosis in patients with alcoholic hepatitis and to further evaluate its application in the differential diagnosis of alcoholic hepatitis and fatty liver. Methods The automatic biochemistry analyzer was employed to detect common markers for liver injury (AST,ALT, GGT and bilirubin) ; electrochemiluminescence assay was performed to measure serum TPS level; immunohistochemistry staining was done to evaluate M30 immunoreactivity in hepatic tissue biopsy specimens and the apoptotic score was acquired. Then the correlations were analyzed between various indices and the apoptotic scores. Results The serum TPS level was positively correlative to the hepatocyte apoptotic score in alcoholic hepatitis group; and their correlation coefficient was the largest among various liver functional indices and the apoptotic scores. The correlation coefficient between TPS level and apoptotic score was significantly higher in alcoholic hepatitis group than that in fatty liver group (P＜0.05). Conclusion Serum TPS may be used as a good hepatocyte apoptosis marker for alcoholic hepatitis, which contributes to the differential diagnosis of alcoholic hepatitis and fatty liver.
ABSTRACT
Purpose:To determine the impact of serum tissue polypeptide specific antigen (TPS) in the treatment for advanced cancer patients. Methods:Serum TPS was examined in 60 advanced cancer cases. 42 of the patients received hepatic arterial chemoembolization or chemotherapy. For those with tumors derived from digestive system, TPS monitoring was performed in serial during the therapeutic courses. Results:No significant differentiation was observed in terms of age, gender, disease or tumor stage. Patients with initial TPS lower than 300 U/L had the most favorable response rate to treatment (PR,CR or MR) of 52.94%, while those with initial TPS higher than 1000 U/L showed no evidence of remission after therapy. 55.56% of the latter developed into PD ( P
ABSTRACT
To investigate the expression of cytokeratin 18(CYK18) in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) cell membrane and the relationship between the serum levels of tissue polypeptide specific antigen (TPS) and the proliferating activity of HCC cells. The serum levels of TPS were determined by TPS TM ELISA in 96 patients with HCC. Four micrometer paraffin embeded sections of liver specimens from these patients were immunostained with the strept avidin biotin complex immunoperoxidase technique (IHC SABC). All of the HCC preparations were positively stained by CYK 18 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) with IHC SABC.The results of PCNA stainings were: + in 62 5%, in 26 0%, in 8 3%,and in 3 1% .The median levels of TPS in the four groups were: + 137 98 U/L, 685 3 U/L, in 1 126 U/L and 4 672U/L respectively. There were significant differences among these groups ( P
ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT
To investigate the prognostic value of serum levels of tissue polypeptide specific antigen (TPS) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). Ninety six patients who had undergone hepatoma resections and 22 patients who received radio frequency ablations (RF) were followed up for 6～12 months.The serum levels of TPS were repeatedly determined.The RF group patients were divided into three subgroups: improved ,stable,and advanced.The median levels (U/L) of serum TPS in advanced subgroup were always higher than those in improved subgroup ( P
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of tissue polypeptide specific antigen (TPS),CYFRA21-1 and soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor (STNFR) in patients with lung cancer.Methods The serum levels of TPS,CYFRA21-1 and STNFR were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 72 patients with lung cancer,54 patients with benign diseases and 32 healthy adults.Results The levels of the 3 tumor markers in lung cancer group were significantly higher than those of the benign disease group and healthy control group,and the serum levels of this 3 tumor markers corresponding increased with the high TNM stage.The detectable rates of TPS (80.5%) and STNFR (81.9%) in serum of lung cancer were higher than CYFRA21-1(65.3%),and in TNM I group,the detectable rates of TPS (57.1%) and STNFR (57.2%) were higher than CYFRA21-1 (25.6%) too.Conclusion The TPS,CYFRA21-1 and STNFR can be used as a very useful and sensitive tumor marker in the diagnosis of lung cancer.The TPS and STNFR are better than CYFRA21-1 in clinical use.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the application and influential factors of urine tissue polypeptide specific antigen(TPS) for early detection and clinical outcome in bladder transitional cell cancers (BTCC). Methods Urine TPS in 76 cases of newly diagnosed BTCC,42 cases of recurrent BTCC,26 cases of postoperative BTCC with normal urine cytology,28 cases of benign bladder diseases,42 normal controls were determined by ELISA.The TPS levels were compared with the cystoscopic results and pathological findings.The relationship between urinary TPS level and the development and prognosis of BTCC was analyzed. Results The urine TPS level was not related to age and sex.The TPS levels in newly diagnosed BTCC group,recurrent BTCC group,postoperative BTCC with normal urine cytology group, bladder benign diseases group and control group were (341?403)U/L,(212?166)U/L,(168?115)U/L,(135?48)U/L and (81?37)U/L,respectively.There was significant difference between each other (all P
