Expression of Ki-67 and P16 proteins in cervical cancer and precancerous lesions of young women and the diagnostic value for cervical cancer and precancerous lesions were investigated. A total of 64 paraffin-embedded specimens of uterus tissue from young female patients who were admitted to Jiading District Central Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Medicine and Health Sciences from January 2015 to December 2017 were selected. According to pathological examination, the specimens were divided into chronic cervicitis group (control group, 10 cases), low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) group (12 cases), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) group (20 cases) and squamous carcinoma of the cervix (SCC) group (22 cases). Expression of Ki-67 and P16 protein was detected by immunohistochemistry and the diagnostic values were analyzed. Positive rates of Ki-67 and P16 expression in HSIL and SCC groups were significantly higher than those in LSIL and control groups (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between LSIL and control groups (P>0.05). Spearman's analysis showed that the expression levels of Ki-67 and P16 were positively correlated with the degree of cervical lesions (rs=0.725; rs=0.829), and their expression levels were also positively correlated (rs=0.772). Sensitivity and specificity analysis showed that the Ki-67 diagnosis has higher sensitivity (95.2%), but the specificity is poor (86.7%). Diagnosis using P16 has high specificity (94.6%), but the sensitivity is poor (85.4%). When the two were combined for diagnosis, sensitivity (94.8%) and specificity (93.2%) were both at a high level. The combined detection of Ki-67 and P16 protein has a high application prospect as an auxiliary diagnosis of SCC.
Objective To investigate the clinical prognostic value of peripheral blood albumin and fibrinogen levels in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods A total of 158 patients with advanced NSCLC who were admitted to Chest Hospital District of the Affiliated Brain Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from May 2010 to September 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients received systemic chemotherapy plus or not local radiotherapy. The clinicopathological characteristics of patients and the results of peripheral serum protein and fibrinogen were collected, and the correlation between peripheral serum protein and fibrinogen levels and prognosis was analyzed. Results The median level of serum albumin and plasma fibrinogen was 40.8 g/L (27.6-46.9 g/L) and 3.4 g (2.4-5.2 g/L), respectively, and the median serum albumin and fibrinogen ratio (AFR) was 12.1 (6.2-17.0). The median overall survival (OS) time in the increased serum albumin group (≥40 g/L) and the decreased serum albumin group (<40 g/L) was 17.0 and 9.0 months, respectively, and the median OS time in the increased plasma fibrinogen group (≥40 g/L) and the decreased plasma fibrinogen group (<40 g/L) was 9.0 and 17.0 months, respectively. The median OS time in the increased AFR group (≥10) and decreased AFR group (<10) was 17.0 and 8.0 months, respectively, and there were significant differences between two groups (all P < 0.01). Multivariate analysis showed that serum albumin level (HR = 1.58, 95% CI 1.20-2.06, P = 0.003), plasma fibrinogen level (HR = 1.43, 95% CI 1.01-2.03, P = 0.046) and AFR (HR = 1.81, 95% CI 1.22-2.62, P = 0.001) were independent prognostic factors of OS. Conclusions In patients with advanced NSCLC, higher albumin level and/or lower fibrinogen level are associated with better clinical prognosis. Peripheral serum albumin, fibrinogen level and AFR are independent prognostic factors for advanced NSCLC. Key words: Cacinoma, non-small cell lung; Albumin; Fibrinogen; Prognosis

Objective To analyze the positive expression levels of p16 ( p16ink4a), cell cycle factor geminin and Ki-67 in low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions ( LSIL),and to further explore the ability of these indicators to evaluate the progression of LSIL patients. Methods From January 2015 to June 2018,276 cervical specimens from Jiading District Central Hospital of Shanghai were retrospectively studied, and 148 LSIL patients were selected. According to the results of the second examination,LSIL patients were divided into three groups: (1) no lesion (natural regression) group 90 cases; (2) LSIL persistent group 38 cases; (3) high-grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion (HSIL) group 20 cases. Immunohistochemistry was performed on the first biopsy tissues and the relative positive ratios of p16, geminin and Ki-67 were calculated. Spearman correlation analysis identified the correlation between the above indicators and the progress of the disease; ROC curve was used to calculate the best diagnostic value of each indicator,and multivariate logistic regression analysis was included to explore the ability of the above indicators to assess the risk of patients progressing to HSIL. Results In the HSIL group, p16 ( 51. 26 ± 17. 15)%, geminin relative positive ratio ( 45. 92 ± 15. 70)% was higher than those in the LSIL group(( 43. 71 ± 11. 84)%, (21. 68± 14. 47)%) and regression group (( 17. 92 ± 9. 60)%, ( 0. 16 ± 0. 03)%) . The difference were statistically significant ( F=2. 922, 2. 751, all P<0. 05) . Spearman correlation analysis showed that the relative positive ratio of p16 ( r=0. 27,P=0. 014) and geminin ( r=0. 44,P<0. 001) presented a notable positive correlation with the progression of the disease. Under the ROC curve,the best diagnostic values of p16, geminin and Ki-67 were 38. 9%, 32. 5% and 18. 6%, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the relative positive ratio of p16 was higher than 38. 9%(OR=4. 366,P=0. 006),and geminin was higher than 32. 5%( OR = 5. 392, P = 0. 011 ) had a higher risk of progression to HSIL. Conclusion p16 and geminin may be effective biomarkers for identifying patients with advanced LSIL.
Objective To detect the expressions of 7 kinds of β-tubulin isotypes in patients with non small cell lung cancer ( NSCLC) and the correlation with taxane sensitivity. Methods 55 tumor tissue specimens were collected from patients with chemo-naive and unoperable metastatic or recurrent NSCLC, who accepted regimen of platinum plus taxane in first line therapy. The efficacy was assessed after two cycle therapy. 55 patients were divided into three groups according to their efficacy. Patients with CR or PR were classed as the taxane sensitive group, and patients with SD were the taxane less sensitive group, and patients with PD were the taxane resistance group. The ex-pressions of mRNA of 7β-tubulin isotypes in tumor tissues were detected by RT-RCR. The expression ofβⅢ-tubulin protein was detected by IHC. The expressions of 7 β-tubulin isotypes and its correlation with taxane sensitivity were anlyzed. Results The expression of mRNA of 7 β-tubulin isotypes were all detected in 55 patients with NSCLC. ΒⅡ-tubulin and βⅣ-tubulin were the highest ones. The expression of mRNA of βⅢ-tubulin in the taxane sensitive group and the taxane less sensitive group were both lower than that in the taxane resistance group (P<0. 05). How-ever, there was no difference in the other 6 β-tubulin isotypes (P>0. 05). The expressions of β Ⅲ-tubulin in the taxane sensitive group and the taxane less sensitive group were 16. 67% (3/18) and 20. 00% (4/20) respectively, which were lower than that in the taxane resistance group (52. 94%, 9/17, P<0. 05). Conclusion The mRNA expressions of 7 β-tubulin isotypes can be all detected in tumor tissue of NSCLC, in which the expressions of mRNA and protein of βⅢ-tubulin show a correlation with taxane sensitivity. The high expression of βⅢ-tubulin shows cer-tain resistance to taxanes.
Objective To investigate the value of basic fibroblast growth factor ( bFGF) on clinical stage, treatment response and prognosis of patients with NSCLC. Methods The level of serum bFGF was determined in 66 advanced NSCLC patients and 15 healthy controls by ELISA. Correlation between bFGF expression and clinical data was analyzed. Results The expression of bFGF was significantly higher in NSCLC patients than the control group (3. 2 vs 20. 1 pg/ml, P<0. 001), and it decreased gradually after the treatment (20. 1 vs 10. 6 pg/ml, P<0. 05). The elevated expression of bFGF >20 pg/ml at baseline was associated with a negative prognosis and shorter progres-sion-free survival (PFS) (5. 6 mon vs 9. 6 mon, P<0. 001). Conclusion There is significant correlation between bFGF expression and disease development, clinical stage and survival, which can be a potential biomarker for predic-ting angiogenesis and prognosis.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:Gefitinib and Pemetrexed are drugs used as second-line therapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), although studies comparing the two drugs are limited. The aim of this study is to explore the effects, safety, and quality of life (QoL) of Gefitinib and Pemetrexed on patients with advanced non-squamous NSCLC.METHODS:Forty-six advanced non-squamous NSCLC patients who failed to first-line therapy were randomly divided into two groups with 23 patients each, one using oral Gefitinib (Gefitinib group) and the other using intravenous injection Pemetrexed (Pemetrexed group). The effects, safety, and QoL were determined and analyzed.RESULTS:For the Pemetrexed group, objective response rate (ORR) was 13.0% (3/23), disease control rate (DCR) was 30.4% (7/23), and median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 3.1 months. In the Gefitinib group, ORR was 17.3% (4/23), DCR was 39.1% (9/23), and mPFS was 4.4 months. Compared with the Pemetrexed group, the ORR, DCR, and mPFS in the Gefitinib group exhibited no statistical significance (P>0.05). Furthermore, the most common toxicities in the Pemetrexed group were neutropenia (n=9, 39.13%) and fatigue (n=8, 34.78%), whereas those in the in Gefitinib group were skin rash (n=8, 34.78%) and diarrhea (n=4, 17.39%). Compared with baseline, the QoL improved in both groups but to different degrees. Likewise, emotional, functional well-being, and QoL aspects specifically related to lung cancer were better improved in the Gefitinib group than in the Pemetrexed group (P<0.05).CONCLUSIONS:The effects of Pemetrexed and Gefitinib as second line therapy were similar, although with different AEs. Both drugs could improve the QoL, but Gefitinib showed better overall results than Pemetrexed.
