Level of plasma snperoxide dismutase and effect of superoxide dismntase on patients with lung cancer / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To detect the level of plasma superoxide dismutase(SOD) in patients with lung cancer and effect of chemotherapy(CGM + CBP) on it,and to investigate the role of SOD in the development .of lung cancer. Methods Xanthine oxidation enzyme was availabe to detect the level of plasma SOD in 30 cases of normal control subjects and 29 cases of patients with lung cancer before and after first, second, third cycle of chemotherapy. Resuits The levels of plasma SOD in lung cancer after chemotherapy were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.01). The level of plasma SOD in lung cancer after first and second chemo-cycle was higher than that before, but lower than that of control group(P＜0.01), the differences between after third chemo-cycle and control group were not significant(P＞0.05 ). The differences in squamoun cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma before chemothrapy and after were not significant (P＞0.05 ). The differences in squamoun cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma and adenosquamoun carcinoma before chemotherapy and after were highly significant (P＜0.01 ). The differences in each chemo-cycle were highly significant (P＜0.01). Conclusion SOD played an important role in growth, regulation and treatment of lung cancer,and it might be a clinical index in lung cancer.
