Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of multi - tumor markers combined detection in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Methods The serum levels of alpha fetoprotein (AFP) , careinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cancer antigen 125 (CA125) ,carbohydrate antigen 153(CA153) .carbohydrate antigen 199(CA199) were determined in 27 patients of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and 24 healthy volunteers. At the same time,the clinical indicators, such as lung function,were also measured in 27 patients. Results In comparison to control group, the serum levels of AFP, CEA,CA125 , CA153, CA199 were obviously lower than those in control group(P0.05). Conclusion Tumor markers,CA199 in particular,reflect the severity and poor prognosis of IPF patients and may also indicate the progression of pulmonary fibrosis, but they have nothing to do with disease activity.

Objective To measure volume of breast cancer , calculate tumor volume doubling time (TVDT), and analyze the correlated factors affecting TVDT using three-dimensional ultrasound (3D-US). Methods We applied 3D-US to measure the volume of breast cancer of BI-RADS-US 4A classified by conventional ultrasound. The breast cancer case scanned by 3D-US at least twice (the interval is 3 months at least) without any medical intervention were included in the study. We calculated TVDT according to the formula, and analyzed the affecting factors of TVDT using multiple linear regression. Results Sixty-nine cases were enrolled in the study. The TVDT of breast cancer were from 66 to 521 days , in an average of 185 ± 126 days and the median time of 164 days. We found that: ① there were no statistics significances in TVDT between different breast cancer pattern , smoothing border lines , speculated sign , hyperechoic halo , microcalcification and different rear echo (P > 0.05). ② TVDT of different age groups, lymph node metastasis, pathological grade and NPI score were significantly different (P < 0.05), while menstrual cycle, family history of breast cancer and molecular typing showed no difference (P > 0.05). ③ TVDT of patients with different expression of ER, PR and Ki-67, molecular typing showed statistically difference (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference between different level of HER2 (P >0.05). ④ multi-factor analysis showed that the NPI score, lymph node metastasis, Ki-67 and molecular typing of breast cancer were relative factors in TVDT (P < 0.05). Conclusions The NPI score , lymph node metastasis , Ki-67 and molecular typing significantly correlate with TVDT of breast cancer. Triple-negative breast cancer in molecular typing has the fastest growth rate.

Methods:
The data of gastric cancer in Lishui from 2014 to 2018 was collected from Zhejiang Chronic Disease Surveillance Information Management System. The incidence and mortality rates of gastric cancer were calculated,and the trend of them was evaluated by annual percentage change(APC).
Results:
The crude incidence rate of gastric cancer in Lishui was 44.77/100 000(5 650 cases)and the standardized one was 26.93/100 000. From 2014 to 2018,the incidence rates of gastric cancer showed a decreasing trend(APC=-0.79%,P<0.05). The crude mortality rate of gastric cancer in Lishui was 25.39/100 000(3 205 cases)and the standardized one was 14.21/100 000. From 2014 to 2018,the mortality rates of gastric cancer were stable(APC=-4.61%,P>0.05). The standardized incidence and mortality rates of gastric cancer in males were 34.77/100 000 and 18.35/100 000,which were higher than 16.77/100 000 and 8.52/100 000 in females(P<0.05). The standardized incidence and mortality rates of gastric cancer in rural residents were 46.07/100 000 and 26.11/100 000,which were higher than 38.49/100 000 and 22.02/100 000 in urban residents. The incidence and mortality rates increased with age after 15 years old,and reached the peak at the age group of 80-84 years old.
Conclusion
The incidence and mortality of gastric cancer in Lishui from 2014 to 2018 were at a high level,which were higher in males than in females and were higher in rural than in urban areas;while the incidence had a downward trend.

Objective:To study the correlation between liver imaging reporting and data system (LI-RADS) category with tumor differentiation, Ki67 index, microvascular infiltration, and predictive prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and radiological data of 178 patients with HCC who were confirmed by histopathological studies after liver resection between January 2015 and September 2020 at Lishui Central Hospital and Lishui People’s Hospital. There were 156 males and 22 females, with age of (57±10) years old. These patients were assessed for LI-RADS categories according to the 2018 version of LI-RADS, and they were divided into 4 groups according to the assessment results: 12 patients with LI-RADS-3 (the LI-RADS-3 group); 26 patients with LI-RADS-4 (the LI-RADS-4 group); 102 patients with LI-RADS-5 (the LI-RADS-5 group); and 38 patients with LI-RADS-M (the LI-RADS-M group). The patients' general information, tumor markers, pathology and other clinical data were recorded. Correlation analysis between the LI-RADS category with pathology was performed by the Kendall's tau-b test. Survival analysis between groups was performed by the Kaplan-Meier analysis. The Cox regression risk model was used to analyze the relationship between these variables with the risk of death.Results:The Kendall's tau-b test showed that LI-RADS category was positively correlated with the degree of tumor differentiation ( t=0.204, P=0.002), but not with microvascular infiltration and Ki 67 index ( P>0.05). All patients were followed up for 4.2 to 84.2 months (median follow-up 36.3 months). By the end of follow-up, 31 patients had died and 147 patients were alive. The cumulative 1-year and 3-year survival rates of the LI-RADS-5 group were 97% and 90% respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the LI-RADS-M group (81% and 63%), and the LI-RADS-4 group (96% and 81%), ( P<0.05). The cumulative 1-year and 3-year survival rates of patients in the LI-RADS-3 group were 100% and 67% respectively, and there was no statistically significant difference with the LI-RADS-5 group ( P>0.05). The Cox multivariate regression analysis showed that tumor glycoantigen 199 (>50 μl/ml) to be an independent influencing factor in survival of HCC patients ( HR=0.43, 95% CI: 0.24-0.76, P=0.004). Conclusion:The LI-RADS category of HCC was positively correlated with the degree of tumor differentiation, and patients with HCC meeting the LI-RADS-5 criteria had relatively better prognosis.
