International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2015;(1):5-7
Objective To explore the optimal immunohistochemical (IHC)diagnostic index for supraclavicular lymph node me-tastasis in lung cancer.Methods In the premise of conforming to the evidence-based medicine,the biopsy of lymph node in 135 pa-tients with supraclavicular lymph node metastasis was performed and 7 antibodies were selected to be detected.135 cases were di-vided into two classes:class A (110 cases)and B (25 cases).The class A included 14 cases of primary lesion inside the lung by the histological analysis,43 cases of primary lesion inside the lung by the cytological detection and 53.cases of primary lesion inside the lung by the radiographic analysis.The class B included 25 cases of lesion outside the lung by the histological analysis.The detecting antibodies included CK7,CK20,EMA,CEA,TTF-1,SPB and vimentin.Results The sensitivity and specificity of single antibody for deducing the primary lesion inside the lung were 90.0% and 56.0% for CK7,98.0% and 40.0% for CK20,90.9% and 4.0%for EMA,80.9% and 36.0% for CEA,62.7% and 100.0% for TTF-1,65.6% and 100.0% for SPB,and 60.9% and 60.0% for vimentin.The quadruple antibodies (CK7,CK20,TTF-1 and SPB)showed the highest sensitivity(85.0%)and highest specificity (100.0%),which made the relatively high detection rate (80.0%)of lung cancer in clinic.Conclusion Analyzing and researching the IMC results is of great significance to guide the surgical pathological practice based on the evidence-based medicine.

A polydimethylsiloxane ( PDMS )/glass microfluidic chip consisting of a three-layer sandwich structure and three-parallel micro-electrode system was fabricated for the separation of polystyrene microspheres according to the particle size in high conductive solution by electric field produced by alternating current. The principle of electrokinetics of microspheres directional movement was investigated. The results showed that, when the applied voltage was 14 V at 100 kHz, the separation efficiency of 10 and 25 μm polystyrene microspheres was the best. Similarly, with a voltage of 10 V at 2 MHz, the separation efficiency of 5 and 25 μm polystyrene microspheres could achieve the highest value. Meanwhile, the voltage of 11 V at 1 MHz was suitable for the separation of 5 , 10 and 25 μm polystyrene microspheres with the separation efficiency of over 90%. At the same time, the formation of the laminar region in the middle of the electrode gap was the key role of microsphere separation.
