Objective To explore the value of preoperative detection of soluble fragments of cytokeratin-19 (CYFRA21-1), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and postoperative detection of nuclear proliferation associated antigen Ki67 in prognostic evaluation of non-small cell lung cancer patients. Methods The clinicopathological data and follow-up results of patients with non-small cell lung cancer treated in the Department of Thoracic Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University in 2017 were collected. CYFRA21-1>3.39 ng/mL was defined as positive, and CEA>5 ng/mL was defined as positive. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) of Ki67 expression level was drawn. The maximum area under the curve (AUC) was the cutoff value of Ki67 expression level, and the Ki67 expression level greater than its cutoff value was defined as positive. Cox regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for poor prognosis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Results Finally 248 patients were collected, including 125 males and 123 females, with a median age of 61 years (ranging from 30 to 81 years) at the time of surgery. Univariate analysis showed that positive CYFRA21-1, high expression of Ki67, positive CEA, age≥60 years at operation, distant metastasis, lymph node metastasis, maximum tumor diameter>3 cm, and TNM stage Ⅲ were associated with poor prognosis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. When combined detection of preoperative tumor markers and postoperative Ki67, the prognosis of all negative patients was the best, and that of all positive patients was the worst. Cox regression analysis showed that positive CEA+positive CYFRA21-1+high expression of Ki67 was an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (P<0.05). Conclusion The combined detection of preoperative serum CYFRA21-1, CEA, and postoperative Ki67 has important value in evaluating the prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer patients.

OBJECTIVE:
To review the clinical features of a male twin affected with glutaric academia type I (GA-I) and analyze the variations of glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase (GCDH) gene.
METHODS:
Clinical data of the pair of twins and their parents were collected. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples, and variants of GCDH genes were detected by capture sequencing using a customized panel. Variants of the twins and their parents were verified by Sanger sequencing.
RESULTS:
The level of glutaric acyl carnitine (C5DC + C6OH) was 3.26 μmol/L in the male twin. The relative level of glutaric acid in urine was 547.51 by gas chromatography mass spectrometry analysis. Cerebral ultrasonography showed that the patient had subependymal hemorrhage, but no serious clinical manifestation was noted. After treating with special formula milk powder and L-carnitine, the boy showed good growth and development. Two heterozygous variants of the GCDH gene were detected in the patient, among which c.416C>G was suspected to be pathogenic, while c.109_110delCA was unreported. The variants were respectively inherited from his parents. The twin girl only carried the c.416C>G variant.
CONCLUSION
GA-I can be diagnosed by mass spectrometry, urine gas chromatographic mass spectrometry, imaging as well as genetic diagnosis. Early diagnosis and intervention is important.

International Journal of Pediatrics 2016;43(2):119-121,126
Recently,an unconventional T cell population (collectively designated as Vδ2 -γδT cell ) has been characterized during the anti-cytomegalovirus immune response in all organ transplant recipients,neo-nates,and healthy individuals.These cytomegalovirus-induced Vδ2 -γδT cells undergo a dramatic and stable ex-pansion after cytomegalovirus infection,in a conventional adaptive way.Similarly,as cytomegalovirus-specific CD8 +αβT cells,they exhibit an effector/memory TEMRA phenotype and cytotoxic effect or functions.This paper reviews the researchs and reports about cytomegalovirus induced-Vδ2 -γδT cell,including its location,phe-notype,and activation,as well as its immunologic mechanism in cytomegalovirus infection,acute or chronic re-jection,and anti-cancer function.
