Objective To investigate the clinical effect of lentinan and thymopentin injection combined with PTP chemotherapy in oral squamous cell carcinoma patients, and to observe the effect of lentinan on serum tumor specific growth factor ( TSGF) , IgG, IgA and IgM and quality of life in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma .Methods The clinical data of 80 cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma ( postoperative lymph node metastasis) confirmed by operation and pathology were analyzed retrospectively, and the diagnosis and treatment were analyzed.The control group were treated with PTP regimen, 80 ~120 mg/m2 of cisplatin, 50 ~80 mg/m2 of teniposide on the first day, the second to fourth day, once daily +pingyangmycin 4~6 mg/m2 , once daily, 3 to 12 days, 3 weeks for a course of treatment, a total of 6 courses.In the control group based on the use of thymopentin injection 20 mg and lentinan 2 mg+5% glucose solution 250 mL intravenous infusion, chemotherapy 2 d before the start, infusion 14 d, 3 weeks for a course of treatment, a total of 6 courses, for the observation group;two groups were 40 cases.The levels of serum TSGF, IgA, IgG, IgM and CD3 +, CD4 +, CD8 +, NK cells and TSGF in the two groups before and after treatment were measured.The quality of life of the patients was investigated by hospital-made questionnaires.The clinical efficacy and side effects were analyzed.Results TSGF levels in the two groups were significantly lower than that before treatment, and the TSGF level in the observation group was (39.1 ±4.9)U/mL, which was significantly lower than that in the control group (52.3 ±5.8) U/mL(P<0.05).After treatment, the TSGF level in observation group was lower than that in control group [(39.1 ±4.9) U/mL vs. (52.3 ±5.8) U/mL](P<0.05).The CD3 +, CD4 +, NK, IgG levels in observation group were higher than those in control group and the CD8 +level in observation group was lower than that in control group (P<0.05).The scores of physical symptoms, sleep quality, mental state and social affection levels in observation group were higher than those in control group(P<0.05).The total efficacy in observation group was lower than that in control group (77.5% vs.45.0%, P<0.05).The adverse reaction rate was 20.0% in the observation group, which was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion The use of lentinan and thymopentin injection combined with PTP chemotherapy in the treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma has higher clinical efficacy and less adverse reactions.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic performances of seven estimation formulas for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in pre-operative patients with renal cell carcinoma.Methods A total of 386 pre-operative patients with renal cell carcinoma in the first affiliated hospital of Chongqing medical university from January 2012 to October 2014 were selected.All the patients' GFRs were measured by the renal dynamic imagingwith 99mTc-DTPA as reference (rGFR) and the seven GFR estimation equations (eGFR) were compared with the rGFR respectively.Their correlations and consistencies were observed with spearman correlation analysis and Bland and Altman analysis.The diagnostic sensitivity,specificity and likelihood ratios were calculated and the eGFR accuracies were assessed with receiver operator curve (ROC) analysis.Results The correlations between the rGFR and eGFRs were significantly (P<0.001).In addition,CKD-EPI-Asian Crea and Ruijin formula were more accurate than others in different stages with larger ROC area in diagnosing renal cell carcinoma.Conclusion There were significant correlations between the eGFRs and rGFR,but some deviations existed.CKD-EPI-Asian Crea and Ruijin formula were more suitable for assessment of eGFR of pre-operative patients with renal cell carcinoma.However,both of these equations had a few limitations.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of combination detection of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP),Golgi protein 73 (GP73) and a-L-fucosidase (AFU) for early hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods A total of 222 patients with liver diseases in this hospital from March 2016 to March 2017 were collected and divided into the early stage HCC group (74 cases),late stage HCC group (27 cases),liver cirrhosis group (74 cases) and chronic hepatitis B group (47 cases),and contemporaneous 49 individuals undergoing physical examination were selected as the healthy control group.The levels of serum GP73,AFP and AFU were detected in each group.The ROC curve was drawn.The diagnostic values of single detection and combined detection of 3 indicators for diagnosing early HCC were evaluated.Results The serum GP73,AFP and AFU levels in the early stage HCC group were significantly higher than those in the liver cirrhosis group,chronic hepatitis B group and healthy control group (P<0.05).In the HCC screening,the area under the curve (AUC) of AFP ROC curve for singly diagnosing HCC was 0.910(95%CI:0.864-0.936),AUC of GP73 and AFP combined diagnosis was maximal [0.925 (95% CI:0.889-0.950)] and the sensitivity was the highest (95.0%).In the differentiation diagnosis between early HCC and liver cirrhosis,AUC of GP73 for single diagnosis was maximal [0.842(95%CI:0.746-0.879)] and the specificity was the highest (86.5%);AUC of GP73 and AFU combined diagnosis was maximal[0.901(95%CI:0.788-0.907)].Conclusion GP73 and AFP for combined detection of HCC can increase the diagnostic efficiency of HCC screening.GP73 and AFU combined diagnosis can increase the diagnosis efficiency of early HCC,which has an important significance for the differentiation diagnosis between early HCC and liver cirrhosis.

Objective To observe the level changes and clinical diagnostic value of follicular statin -1 (FSTL1)in the serum of patients with different types of acute coronary syndrome(ACS).Methods Collected the clinical diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome patients 98 cases,which contained ST segment elevation my-ocardial infarction(STEMI)in 34 cases,non ST elevation myocardial infarction(NSTEMI)in 28 cases,unsta-ble angina pectoris(UA)in 36 cases,while the examination resuLts of healthy people as a control group of 20 cases.The Venous blood was collected and the FSTL1 levels of the 4 groups were detected by ELISA.Results The levels of Serum FSTL1 in ACS group was significantly higher than that in normal control group(P<0.05).Serum FSTL1 of the ACS group were significant correlated with Gensini score,cTNT,hs-CRP(related coefficient:0.210,0.236,0.219 separately).The AUC of FSTL1 was 0.910(95% CI:0.832 -0.988),which was lower than cTNT.The best cut-off value of FSTL1 as a biomarker was 5.65 μg/L(specificity:84.2% and sensitivity:77.5%).Moreover the combination of FSTL1,HDL and cTNT exhibited significantly higher AUC=0.945(95% CI:0.909 -0.981)than did other biomarkers alone or pair combinations.Conclusion In pa-tients with acute coronary syndrome,serum FSTL1 levels has a positive correlation with the degree of coro-nary stenosis and inflammation reaction,and has certain value in the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome.
