The results showed that the total positive rate for α1-AT expression was 85. 4 %. The positive rate for α1-AT expression in alveolar BAC was 100 %, with the immunity reactive stain- ing intensity being significantly higher than in papillary BAC, mucinous BAC or sclerosing BAC (P<0. 05). The positive rate in papillary BAC was 93. 3 %, with the intensity higher mucinous BAC or sclerosing BAC (P<0. 01); The positive rate in both mucinous BAC and sclerosing BAC was 66. 7 % (P>0. 05); The expression intensity in lymph node metastatic group was obviously lower than that in the group without metastasis (P<0.01); The patients with mucinous BAC were diagnosed at a younger age than those with other histologic types of BAC (P<0. 05). It was suggested that BAC cells could also produce al-AT. Detection of α1-AT could be used as a new method to diagnose BAC and might play a role in assessing BAC metastasis.展开更多
