A total of 47 nGGOs (average size, 9.5 mm; range, 5.7-20.6 mm) were observed by CT scanning at different time under identical parameter settings. The growth of nGGO was analyzed by three radiologists by comparing the thin slice (TS) CT images of initial and repeat scans with side-by-side cine mode. One week later synchronized VR images of the two scans were compared by side-by-side cine mode to evaluate the nGGO growth. The nodule growth was rated on a 5-degree scale: notable growth, slight growth, dubious growth, stagnant growth, shrinkage. Growth standard was defined as: Density increase 〉 30 HU and (or) diameter increase (by 20% in nodules 〉_10 mm, 30% in nodules of 5-9 mm). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was performed. The results showed that 32 nGGOs met the growth criteria (29 nGGOs showed an increase in density; 1 nGGO showed an increase in diameter; 2 nGGOs showed an increase in both diameter and density). Area under ROC curve revealed that the performance with VR interpretation was better than that with TS interpretation (P〈0.01, P〈0.05 and P〈0.05 for observers A, B and C respectively). Consistency between different observers was excellent with both VR interpretation (κ=0.89 for observers A&C A&B, B&C) and TS interpretation (κ=0.71 for A&B, κ=0.68 for A&C, κ=0.74 for B&C), but time spending was less with VR interpretation than with TS interpretation (P〈0.0001, P〈0.0001 and P〈0.05 for observers A, B and C, respectively). It was concluded that VR is a useful technique for evaluating the growth of nGGO.展开更多

背景与目的目前,肺癌依然是我国发病率和死亡率最高的恶性肿瘤。而在早期肺腺癌(lung adenocarcinoma,LUAD)中,微乳头(micropapillary,MPP)成分尤其常见,且通常表现出高侵袭性,其与早期转移、淋巴浸润的风险以及患者的5年生存率显著相...背景与目的目前,肺癌依然是我国发病率和死亡率最高的恶性肿瘤。而在早期肺腺癌(lung adenocarcinoma,LUAD)中,微乳头(micropapillary,MPP)成分尤其常见,且通常表现出高侵袭性,其与早期转移、淋巴浸润的风险以及患者的5年生存率显著相关。本研究旨在探究以磨玻璃影(ground-glass opacities,GGOs)为特征的早期LUAD中MPP成分和非MPP成分的异同,寻找MPP成分所特有的突变特征,并分析锌指蛋白家族的ZNF469基因与早期LUAD预后以及免疫浸润的关系。方法收集31例LUAD恶性肺结节,采用显微解剖法将其分为成对的MPP和非MPP成分。对早期恶性肺结节组分进行全外显子组测序(whole-exome sequencing,WES),利用maftools、非负矩阵分解(Nonnegative Matrix Factorization,NMF)法、Sigminer等方法进行突变特征分析,以揭示侵袭性LUAD中MPP组分相比于其他肿瘤组织所特有的基因组突变特征。利用癌症基因组图谱(The Cancer Genome Atlas,TCGA)的LUAD数据库中ZNF469的表达情况,探讨其与肺癌预后的关系;利用GeneMANIA数据库以及基因本体(Gene Ontology,GO)、京都基因与基因组百科全书(Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes,KEGG)富集分析探索LUAD中与ZNF469相关基因的互作网络及信号通路;利用TIMER和TISIDB数据库分析ZNF469表达与LUAD中免疫细胞浸润水平的相关性。结果MPP成分具有较多的基因组变异,相比于非MPP成分的肿瘤组织,癌症体细胞突变目录(Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer,COSMIC)的13号突变特征(胞苷脱氨酶家族,APOBEC)是MPP成分所特有的,这提示其参与了MPP成分对LUAD早期侵袭过程的促进作用;并且APOBEC特征高的MPP样本具有更高的肿瘤突变负荷(tumor mutational burden,TMB),提示这些患者更能从免疫治疗中获益。LUAD中突变ZNF469的表达高于正常组织,与LUAD患者的不良预后有关。基因互作网络分析以及GO和KEGG富集分析发现,COL6A1、COL1A1、COL1A2、TGFB2、MMP2、COL8A2、C2CD4C等与ZNF469具有相互作用,且主要与编码胶原蛋白、参与细胞外基质构成有关。ZNF469表达与肿瘤的免疫浸润呈正相关。结论本研究揭示了中国人群侵袭性LUAD中MPP成分的特有突变特征,并发现突变ZNF469的高表达影响LUAD预后与免疫浸润,推测ZNF469可作为LUAD潜在的诊断及预后生物标志物。展开更多

文摘Background:Lung cancer is the most common cancer related death in the world for the both male and female as well.Adenocarcinoma is the most common pathological type which is in increasing trend.With recent advancement of screening of lung cancer with HRCT,GGO lesion has been noted frequently.GGO is a nonspecific finding that may be caused by various disorders,including inflammatory diseases,focal fibrosis,atypical adenomatous hyperplasia,bronchoalveolar carcinoma(BAC),and adenocarcinoma.This study intends to analyze the correlation between high resolutions computed tomography(HRCT)findings and the pathological findings of lung adenocarcinoma.Material and methods:Retrospective review of 16 cases of lung adenocarcinoma lesions after surgical resection.Tumors were defined as air containing type based on ratio of maximum dimension of the tumor on mediastinal window to the maximum diameter of the tumor on lung window was≤50%and as solid density if the ratio was>50%.The correlation between CT findings(homogenous/heterogeneous,airbronchogram,pleural tag,speculation,vascular involvement,pleural thickening,margin,shape)and pathological findings were investigated.Results:Of 3 air containing 2 were pre-invasive type and 1 was invasive.Among 13 solid density type all 13 were invasive type.Presence of speculation,heterogeneous appearance was found significantly associated with pathological invasion.Conclusion:Air containing type of small cells lung adenocarcinomas are preinvasive whereas solid densities are invasive.Speculation and heterogeneous are significant factor in invasive adenocarcinoma.
文摘目的探讨肺GGO改变特征为主的早期肺癌患者微创精准治疗的疗效、可行性与安全性。方法筛选早期肺癌毛玻璃(GGO)样变患者,共60例,随机数表法分为两组。观察组患者采取CT引导下Hook-wire术前定位胸腔镜微创切除术(VATS),对照组患者行传统开胸肺癌根治术。比较两组患者手术情况、手术相关指标差异、术后并发症以及术后常规随访情况差异。结果 VATS切除术成功率100%,CT引导Hook-wire明确定位率为为100%,平均用时(9.87±7.41)min。观察组患者手术时间、术中出血量、住院时间、胸管留置时间均明显少于对照组(P<0.05)。观察组并发症发生率19.56%,显著低于对照组(P<0.001)。术后1 d、1 w VAS评分观察组患者均显著低于对照组(P<0.05)。术后6个月~3年随访,观察组患者远期生存指数与对照组比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05),与开胸肺癌根治术远期疗效呈一致性。结论采取CT引导下Hook-wire术前定位胸腔镜微创切除术具有临床可操作性、较高的安全性与近期疗效,微创精准治疗有效减少患者手术带来的疼痛与术后并发症的发生。
文摘背景与目的目前,肺癌依然是我国发病率和死亡率最高的恶性肿瘤。而在早期肺腺癌(lung adenocarcinoma,LUAD)中,微乳头(micropapillary,MPP)成分尤其常见,且通常表现出高侵袭性,其与早期转移、淋巴浸润的风险以及患者的5年生存率显著相关。本研究旨在探究以磨玻璃影(ground-glass opacities,GGOs)为特征的早期LUAD中MPP成分和非MPP成分的异同,寻找MPP成分所特有的突变特征,并分析锌指蛋白家族的ZNF469基因与早期LUAD预后以及免疫浸润的关系。方法收集31例LUAD恶性肺结节,采用显微解剖法将其分为成对的MPP和非MPP成分。对早期恶性肺结节组分进行全外显子组测序(whole-exome sequencing,WES),利用maftools、非负矩阵分解(Nonnegative Matrix Factorization,NMF)法、Sigminer等方法进行突变特征分析,以揭示侵袭性LUAD中MPP组分相比于其他肿瘤组织所特有的基因组突变特征。利用癌症基因组图谱(The Cancer Genome Atlas,TCGA)的LUAD数据库中ZNF469的表达情况,探讨其与肺癌预后的关系;利用GeneMANIA数据库以及基因本体(Gene Ontology,GO)、京都基因与基因组百科全书(Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes,KEGG)富集分析探索LUAD中与ZNF469相关基因的互作网络及信号通路;利用TIMER和TISIDB数据库分析ZNF469表达与LUAD中免疫细胞浸润水平的相关性。结果MPP成分具有较多的基因组变异,相比于非MPP成分的肿瘤组织,癌症体细胞突变目录(Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer,COSMIC)的13号突变特征(胞苷脱氨酶家族,APOBEC)是MPP成分所特有的,这提示其参与了MPP成分对LUAD早期侵袭过程的促进作用;并且APOBEC特征高的MPP样本具有更高的肿瘤突变负荷(tumor mutational burden,TMB),提示这些患者更能从免疫治疗中获益。LUAD中突变ZNF469的表达高于正常组织,与LUAD患者的不良预后有关。基因互作网络分析以及GO和KEGG富集分析发现,COL6A1、COL1A1、COL1A2、TGFB2、MMP2、COL8A2、C2CD4C等与ZNF469具有相互作用,且主要与编码胶原蛋白、参与细胞外基质构成有关。ZNF469表达与肿瘤的免疫浸润呈正相关。结论本研究揭示了中国人群侵袭性LUAD中MPP成分的特有突变特征,并发现突变ZNF469的高表达影响LUAD预后与免疫浸润,推测ZNF469可作为LUAD潜在的诊断及预后生物标志物。

文摘Background:To explore the effect of scattered or eccentric shaped types of ground glass opacity(GGO)on outcomes of patients with solid-dominant peripheral lung adenocarcinoma.Methods:We evaluated patients with solid-dominant peripheral lung adenocarcinoma,who underwent radical surgery at Zhongshan Hospital,Fudan University,between January 2013 and December 2015.Morphologically heterogeneous solid-dominant lung adenocarcinoma in imaging findings was based on the last preoperative computed tomography(CT)scans.Endpoints were recurrence-free survival(RFS)and overall survival(OS).Kaplan-Meier analysis and the log-rank test were used to estimate survival differences.Impact factors were assessed by univariable logistic regression analysis.Results:We retrospectively collected data from 200 patients,including 170 patients with central island-shaped CT imaging,18 patients with scattered shaped CT imaging,and 12 patients with eccentric shaped CT imaging.Eleven patients experienced recurrence or metastases.Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed significant survival differences between the central island-shaped type and scattered shaped or eccentric shaped type for OS(c-stage IA:5-year OS:100%vs.92.1%;HR=0.019,p=0.0025;p-stage IA:100%vs.95.2%;HR=0.146,p=0.1139)and RFS(c-stage IA:5-year RFS:100%vs.59.7%;HR=0.001,p<0.0001;p-stage IA:100%vs.64.5%;HR<0.001,p<0.0001).Univariable logistic regression analysis showed that scattered and eccentric shaped types were related to poor outcomes(p<0.012,odds ratio=18.8)。Conclusions:Relative spatial position of GGO and solid components may affect patient outcomes.Patients with scattered or eccentric shaped GGO may have a poor prognosis.
