AIM To evaluate the significance of alhafetoprotein (AFP). gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT).Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) in diagnosis of primary hepaticcancer.METHODS Thirty-six patients with liver carcinoma (male 26, female 10, aged 29- 72 years), 6 withhepatic metastasis of gastrointestinal cancer (all male, aged 37- 69 years), 62 with benign liver diseases(male 53, female 9, aged 32- 71 years) and 222 without liver diseases (male 152, female 70, aged 22- 76years) were studied. Blood samples were taken by venipuncture. Serum was separated and frozen at -20℃until the analysis was made. AFP, CEA and CA125 were measured by RIA.RESULTS Serum AFP in liver cancer (476.3 - 181.4 ug/L) was significantly higher than that in hepaticmetastasis of gastrointestinal cancer, benign liver diseases and monhepatic diseases (P<0.01). Serum GGTin liver cancer was 621.1±289.9 w/L, significantly higher than that in the other groups (P<0.05). CA125level in liver cancer (236.3±127.2 u/L) was markedly higher than that in benign liver diseases andmonhepatic diseases (P<0.01), but no significantly difference was found in hepatic metastasis ofgastroentestinal cancer (219.4±143.7 U/L). Serum CEA in liver cancer (8.8±2.1 ug/L) was markedlylower than that in hepatic metastasis of gastroentestinal cancer (32.7±7.2 ug/L) (P<0.01). Thesensitivity of AFP, GGT, CA125 and CEA in the diagnosis of liver cancer was 72.2%, 88.9%, 63.9% and11.1% repectively; their specificity was 93.1%, 71.1%, 78.2% and 65.8% respectively. The diagnosticsensitivity and specificity of simultaneous detection of AFP, GGT and CA125 in liver cancer were 91.7% and88.4% respectively.CONCLUSION AFP is superior to GGT, CA125 and CEA in the diagnosis of liver cancer; simultaneousdetection of AFP, GGT and CA125 might increase the diagnositic sensitivity and specificity of liver cancer.

骨生化指标在骨肿瘤中的临床应用进展

骨肿瘤是起源于间充质细胞，发生于骨组织及其附属结构的一类良、恶性肿瘤的总称，骨肿瘤的发病率女性约为1.060/10万，男性约为1.112/10万，虽属少见的肿瘤类型，但对人体的危害大，特别是恶性肿瘤，目前疗效虽然提高，但仍不令人满意，发病趋势呈年轻，在骨科领域中占有重要地位[1]。正常的骨代谢是骨生成和骨吸收的动态平衡，这种平衡主要有骨组织中成骨细胞或破骨细胞维持，当这种平衡被打破时就会表现出各种骨疾病。骨生成和骨吸收异常伴随的生化指标及导致骨生成和骨吸收变化的相关因素均可作为骨肿瘤的生物标记。随着分子生物学技术的发展，有望通过检测骨肿瘤患者体内的生化指标变化达到早期诊断和治疗的目的。现在就骨组织生化指标在骨肿瘤患者诊治中的研究作一综述，以探讨他们的临床应用价值。

Objective:To study the diagnostic value of multiple tumor markers in malignant ovarian neoplasm.Methods:Sera obtained from 430 patients with ovarian masses (110 cases were malignant ovarian tumors,320 cases were benign ovarian tumors) before operation,and from 50 healthy women as control.Serologic examination of tumor markers included CA125,TSGF,SA,CEA,AFP,HCG and Fer.Results:The serum levels of CA125,TSGF,SA and Fer in patients with ovarian cancer were higher than those in patients with benign ovarian tumors (P<0.05),also in control group (P<0.05).In the diagnostic value of application for malignant ovarian neoplasm,CA125,TSGF and SA were better than the others.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy in diagnosis of ovarian cancer were 86.4%,82.8%and 83.7% respectively for CA125 alone,78.2%,81.3%and 80.5% for TSGF alone,74.5%,81.9%and 80.0% for SA alone,whereas 95.5%,45.6%and 58.4% for multiple tumor markers combined in which 1 or more indices showed positive,93.6%,80.6%and 84.0% for that in which 2 or more indices showed positive,and 87.3%,90.3%and 89.5% for that in which 3 or more indices show positive.Conclusion:multiple tumor markers examination could improve the diagnosis of ovarian cancer,and examination of CA125,TSGF and SA combined is most ideal.

Given the multiple terrorist attacks that have occurred in recent years in China, medical rescue teams and specialized incident assessment teams have been established by the government; however, medical rescue after nuclear, biological, and chemical incidents remains challenging and is often inefficient. In the present article, problems were analyzed regarding the assessment of responder countermeasures, training of professionals and the management of emergency medical incidents related to nuclear, biological and chemical attacks. Countermeasures, the establishment of response coordination, public education, practical training and exercise, and a professional consultant team or system should be the focus of emergency medical response facilities. Moreover, the government was offered professionals who are involved in managing nuclear, biological and chemical incidents.
