Abstract:
Objective To investigate the different diagnostic value of serum Chitinase 3-like 1 protein(CHI3L1)and Alpha-fe-toprotein(AFP)in diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods One hundreds HCC patients confirmed by histopa-thology were recruited between December,2015 to April,2016 from the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical Univer-sity.Simultaneously,100 patients with chronic hepatitis B and 59 healthy individuals,matched by sex and age with HCC pa-tients,were recruited as control groups.Serum CHI3L1and AFP were measured in different groups and the difference were analyzed by STATA 1 2.0 Statistical software.The ability of these two items in differentiating different group was analyzing by ROC curve using MedCal Ver 15.2.2 software.Results Serum CHI3L1 were significantly differences in the three groups using Kruskal-Wallis analysis (χ2=93.19,P=0.000),the differences were further compared in different two groups using Mann-Whitney analysis.The results showed that serum CHI3L1 in HCC group were significantly higher than in chronic hepatitis B and healthy control group (P=0.000,z=8.766,7.400).Serum AFP were significantly differences in the three groups using Kruskal-Wallis analysis (χ2=147.54,P=0.000),and the differences were further compared in different two groups using Mann-Whitney analysis.The results showed that serum AFP in HCC group were significantly higher than in chronic hepatitis B and healthy control group (P=0.000,z=10.938,9.033).The ROC curve analysis of serum CHI3L1 and AFP for differentiating HCC group from CHB group showed that CHI3L1 yield AUC of 0.859 (95% CI:0.803~0.904) with 85% sensitivity,79% specificity and 76.8 pg/ml cut-off value,AFP yield AUC of 0.948 (95% CI:0.904~0.974)with 85% sensitivity,98% specificity and 7.6 ng/ml cut-off value,in distinguishing HCC with CHB group,the power of AFP was superior to that of CHI3L1 (P=0.006).The ROC curve analysis of serum CHI3L1 and AFP for differentiating HCC group from healthy individuals group showed that CHI3L1 yield AUC of 0.852 (95% CI:0.787~0.903)with 85% sensi-tivity,76% specificity and 76.8 pg/ml cut-off value,AFP yield AUC of 0.929 (95% CI:0.878~0.964)with 84% sensitivi-ty,100% specificity and 7.8 ng/ml cut-off value,in distinguishing HCC with healthy individuals group,the power of AFP was also superior to that of CHI3L1 (P=0.045).Conclusion Serum CHI3L1 similar to AFP has much power ability to di-agnosis HCC,but AFP was superior to CHI3L1.
