Logistic回归和ROC曲线分析多种肿瘤标志物在结直肠癌中的诊断价值

目的:应用Logistic回归和ROC曲线探讨CEA、CA199及CA50在结直肠癌诊断中的应用价值.方法:结直肠癌患者75例,良性结直肠病患者35例,正常人49例,分别应用化学发光免疫分析测定CEA,电化学发光免疫分析测定CA199,免疫放射分析测定CA50,通过ROC曲线分析CEA、CA199、CA50及各种Logistic回归结果的ROC曲线下面积(AUC).结果:结直肠癌-良性结直肠病中,CA50的AUC要高于CA199的AUC,而CEA、CA50两项联合诊断结直肠癌的AUC(0.875)要高于CEA、CA199、CA50三项联合诊断的AUC(0.604),且CEA、CA50两项联检诊断的AUC高于CEA、CA199或CA50任意单一检查的AUC.在结直肠癌-正常对照组中,三项肿瘤标志物联检的AUC(0.866)均高于三项肿瘤标志物单一检查的AUC,无论在结直肠癌-正常对照组中还是结直肠癌-良性结直肠病中CEA的AUC都高要于CA199或CA50.结论:CEA在诊断结直肠癌有一定的临床应用价值,CA50联合CEA检测可为临床鉴别良恶性结直肠病提供有效的参考,而CEA、CA199及CA50三者联检对鉴别良恶性结直肠病的意义不大.作为一种统计手段,Logistic回归可改善诊断的灵敏度和特异性.     

Familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (ATTR Ser50Ile): the first autopsy case report

We report an autopsy case of a pedigree of familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) with a mutation of isoleucine-50 transthyretin (ATTR Ser50Ile). A 47-year-old man started developing severe diarrhea and weight loss at age 41 years, followed by urinary incontinence, autonomic-nervous-system abnormalities and serious heart failure; the diagnosis of FAP (ATTR Ser50Ile) was made on the basis of genetic, histochemical and immunohistochemical analysis. Six years after the initial symptoms, he died of septic shock. Autopsy revealed suppurative peritonitis, perforation of the sigmoid colon and marked systemic amyloid deposition. The total amount of amyloid deposited in the heart was greatly increased and was much lower in the thyroid gland and kidneys compared with amyloid deposits in ordinary FAP (ATTR Val30Met). Amyloid deposition in peripheral vessel walls was prominent, particularly in lymphatics and veins. His elder sister, 54 years old, started to develop orthostatic hypotension at age 49 years, followed by dysesthesia, diarrhea and severe congestive heart failure. Endomyocardial biopsy revealed severe TTR–amyloid deposition; ultrastructural examination demonstrated that amyloid fibrils were deposited disproportionately and extended radially around microvessels. These characteristic patterns of systemic amyloid deposition and distinct clinical manifestations, especially in the cardiovascular system, are considered to be a characteristic feature of ATTR Ser50Ile amyloidosis.

Expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-3 (ICAM-3/CD50) in malignant lymphoproliferative disorders and solid tumors

ICAM-3/CD50 is a recently described LFA-1 counter receptor that seems to play an important role in the initiation of immune responses. In this study we have examined the expression of ICAM-3/CD50 in a large series of human neoplasms including 101 Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL), 26 Hodgkin's disease, and 38 solid tumors to define the distribution patterns of this molecule in malignant neoplasms and their possible correlation with clinical and pathological characteristics of the patients. In NHL, ICAM-3/CD50 was expressed in almost all the tumors with a tendency to be lost in high grade lymphomas. Reed-Sternberg cells and their variants in Hodgkin's disease were always negative independently of the histological subtype of the disease. No expression was observed in tumor epithelial cells of the 38 solid tumors examined. Strong endothelial cell staining was observed in 31% of the NHL and 31% of Hodgkin's disease. ICAM-3 expression in these cases was restricted to small tumor vessels. ICAM-3 expression in endothelial cells of NHL was significantly more frequent in high grade (40%) than in low grade lymphomas (14%) (p=0.012). In addition, tumor vessels were also positive in 29% of solid rumors independently of the histological type. No correlation was observed between ICAM-3 expression in tumor or endothelial cells and other clinical and pathological characteristics of the patients. These findings indicate that ICAM-3 expression in human tumors is restricted to hematological neoplasms with a tendency to be lost in high grade lymphomas and Hodgkin's disease. ICAM-3 is also expressed by endothelial cells from tumor-associated neovascularization in both lymphoid and solid tumors.     

Reactivity of a monoclonal antibody produced to the histidine-rich protein of Plasmodium lophurae with Plasmodium falciparum

Monoclonal antibodies were produced against the histidine-rich protein of Plasmodium lophurae and tested for reactivity with Plasmodium falciparum antigens. One anti-histidine-rich protein monoclonal antibody showed immunological cross-reactivity with polypeptides of P. falciparum synthesized in vivo and in vitro.     

中国东北汉族一个先天性白内障家系致病基因的鉴定

目的鉴定一个先天性白内障家系的致病基因。方法根据已知与先天性白内障有关的12个致病基因的染色体上的定位,分别选取3～4个的微卫星标记位点,对该家系进行连锁分析。通过测序鉴定致病基因。结果在1q21.1GJA8位点显示最大Lod值2.44。致病基因定位于1q21.1区的GJA8基因,构成缝隙连接的缝隙连接蛋白Connexin50。DNA序列分析鉴定显示其第2外显子的第191个碱基杂合突变T>G导致其蛋白产物第64位缬氨酸转变为甘氨酸。结论Connexin50的V64G新生突变是导致该家系的致病原因。

A comparison of the bronchodilator activity of Sch 1000 and salbutamol.

The effects of the beta 2-adrenergic agonist, salbutamol, 200 mug, and the cholinergic antagonist, Sch 1000, 40 mug, have been compared in 25 asthmatic patients using a single dose, double-blind, crossover trial design. Salbutamol aerosol produces a greater degree of bronchodilatation than Sch 1000 aerosol during the initial three hours following drug administration. There is no significant difference in the bronchodilator effects of the two drugs in the interval four to eight hours after drug administration. Nonatopic patients showed less difference in bronchodilator response to each of the two drugs than atopic patients. Neither drug showed any significant adverse effect on blood pressure, pulse rate, or electrocardiogram. In six asthmatic patients the effect of the combination of salbutamol, 200 mug, and Sch 1000, 40 mug, was evaluated. The combination produced a longer duration of bronchodilatation than either drug alone when compared to placebo.     

Sister chromatid exchange: Variation by age,sex, smoking,and breast cancer status

Variation in sister chromatid exchange (SCE) frequency in lymphocytes of 125 persons was compared using a multivariate general linear model. The study was performed to determine whether SCE frequency differs with respect to age, sex, smoking, and breast cancer status. Study subjects were divided into: members of two branches of families having an excess of cancer (primarily breast) including a brother and sister in one family who developed nonbreast malignancies within 1 yr of the study; women in both families successfully treated for breast cancer (all at least 5 yr posttreatment); and women from the general population with confirmed breast cancer.Controls consisted of spouses who married into the high-risk kindreds, hospital personnel, and others (primarily tradesmen without history of occupational exposure). Results show that: (1) Women with active breast cancer have a significantly higher mean SCE frequency than control women or women greater than 5 yr posttreatment for breast cancer; (2) Cigarette smokers show a significantly higher number of SCEs than was observed in nonsmokers; (3) The increase in SCE level in smokers is dose-related to exposure as measured by cumulative pack-years; (4) SCE values in both high-risk families are not significantly different from controls; (5) Neither the age nor sex of the individual affects SCE frequency; and (6) The observed distribution of exchanges agrees with that expected based on the proportion of the genome represented by each chromosome group.
