Mice fed with Aspergillus-inoculated corn flour developed adenocarcinoma of the lung in 15 of 35 mice (42.9%) and atypical hyperplasia of the glandular stomach in 13 of 35 mice (37.4%). Sterigmatocystin was identified by high performance liquid chromato-graphy (HPLC) and fluorescence spectrophotometry in the extract of Aspergillus-inoculated corn flour. The results suggest that the mycotoxin Sterigmatocystin may play a potential role in carcinogenesis in human.展开更多

Most of the levels are lower than 400 ug/L. Following biopsies of lung and liver neoplasms, one patient with a clinical diagnosis of lung cancer plus liver metastasis was pathologically diagnosed having an adenocarcinoma. His serum AFP value was 100-300 times the normal value. In order to further explore the clinical significance of an elevation of the AFP level in patients with lung adenocarcinoma plus liver metastasis, and to precisely distinguish a simple liver metastasis from lung adenocarcinoma or from lung hepatoid adenocarcinoma （HAC）, a clinical analysis of the patient, and a literature review was conducted.展开更多
