简介:目的:探讨胸腔积液中细胞DNA的含量分析对良恶性胸腔积液的鉴别诊断价值。方法:46例胸腔积液患者,分为恶性和良性两组,采用全自动细胞DNA定量分析系统测定胸腔积液细胞DNA的含量,同时检测癌胚抗原(CEA)。结果:对于恶性胸腔积液,全自动细胞DNA分析诊断的敏感性为58.3%,特异性为100.0%,准确性78.3%,而CEA分别为54.2%、81.8%和67.4%。如两项指标中任何一项阳性,诊断的敏感性、特异性和准确性分别为87.5%,81.8%和84.8%;两项指标同时阳性,特异性可达100.0%。结论:全自动细胞DNA定量分析对胸腔积液的鉴别有重要的临床参考价值,联合胸腔积液的CEA检测,可以提高诊断的有效性。
简介:分支链DNA信号放大技术(bDNA)是一种基于探针杂交信号放大的检测系统,无需对mRNA纯化和反转录即可对mRNA做精确的定量检测,有灵敏度高、线性范围宽、准确性好和结果稳定可靠等优点,具有良好的临床科研应用价值。本文就bDNA技术的原理及其在CMV、HBV、HCV和HIV等病毒定量检测、基因表达分析以及肿瘤基因分析等方面的应用作一介绍。
简介:目的:探讨小汗腺螺旋腺癌的诊断和治疗方法。方法:报道1例右下肢小汗腺螺旋腺癌,探讨小汗腺螺旋腺癌的诊治。结果:患者为67岁老年女性,因发现右下肢肿块进行性增大就诊,2015年6月4日手术切除病灶,术后病理确诊为小汗腺螺旋腺癌。患者术后全身PET/CT提示右髂血管旁及右侧腹股沟淋巴结转移,术后尝试"mFOLFOX"方案化疗。但患者分别于2015年8月31日及2015年12月23日因发现肿瘤局部复发而行减瘤手术。术后患者因体质弱,未再继续行抗肿瘤治疗,行最佳对症支持治疗,于2016年7月21日死亡。结论:小汗腺螺旋腺癌临床表现常缺乏特异性,需由组织病理确诊,大范围手术切除是其首选治疗方式,目前仍无公认的化放疗方法,预后极差,生存期短。
