嗜铬素A和突触素对胃肠胰腺神经内分泌肿瘤诊断及预后的临床价值

目的 探讨胃肠胰腺神经内分泌肿瘤(GEP-NET)组织中嗜铬素A(CgA)和突触素( Syn)的表达及临床意义.方法 收集2003年1月至2009年5月南京医科大学第一附属医院收治的66例GEP-NET患者.免疫组织化学法分析CgA、Syn在GEP-NET组织中的表达情况及其与GEP-NET临床病理特征、预后间的关系.结果 66例患者中Syn的阳性率为87.9％(58/66),高于CgA71.3％ (47/66),x2=5.63,P=0.02].64.6％(42/66)的患者同时表达CgA和Syn.GEP-NET组织中CgA的表达与肿瘤淋巴结转移及TNM分期有关,但与患者性别、年龄、发病部位、功能状态、分化程度、肿瘤大小、浸润范围及远处转移均无关.Syn与上述所有参数均无关.CgA阴性组3年生存率为47％,明显低于阳性组(78％,x2=0.00,P=0.01).结论 Syn诊断GEP-NET的敏感度高于CgA,CgA对GEP-NET预后判断有一定的指导意义.

The diagnostic and prognostic value of chromogranin A and synaptophysin in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors

Objective To explore the expression and clinical significance of chromogranin A (CgA) and synaptophysin (Syn) in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NET).Methods The data of sixty-six GEP-NET patients treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were collected between Jan.2003 and May 2009.The expression of CgA and Syn in the tissue of GEP-NET was detected by immunohistochemistry, and its association with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of GEP-NET were analyzed.Results In these 66 patients,the positive rate of Syn (87.9％,58/66) was higher than that of CgA (71.3％,47/66,x2 =5.63,P=0.02).CgA and Syn were simultaneously expressed in 64.6％ patients (42/66).In the tissues of GEP-NET,the expression of CgA was related with lymph node metastasis and TNM stages,not related with patients' gender,age,tumor location,function,degree of differentiation,tumor size,infiltration and distant metastasis. Syn was not related with all the above clinicopathological parameters.Three-year survival rate in CgA negative group (47％) was significantly lower than that in positive group (78％,x2 =0.00,P=0.01).Conclusions Syn was more sensitive than CgA in the diagnosis of GEP-NET.CgA in some extent indicates the prognosis of GEP-NET.
