RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the lung is an extremely rare type of the non-small cell lung cancer. Treatment principles and prognosis are similar to that of lung adenocarcinoma. CASE REPORT: A 62-year-old female smoker presented with a huge mass in the left upper lobe. After diagnostic biopsy, she underwent left pneumonectomy and mediastinal lymph node dissection. A diagnosis of stage T4N1M0 hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the lung with positive surgical margins was made. MANAGEMENT AND OUTCOME: After the operation, the level of serum alpha fetoprotein was 9010 ng/ml (N: <10). The level of serum alpha fetoprotein was decreased with concurrent chemoradiotherapy and chemotherapy. Disease progression was detected at 11 months after diagnosis. No response was obtained to other therapies. The patient died at 14 months from the time of diagnosis. DISCUSSION: Usually, patients with hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the lung are male smokers. Hepatoid adenocarcinoma tends to settle in the upper lobes of the lung. The most important prognostic factor of the hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the lung is the disease stage at the diagnosis and patients with metastatic disease have poor survival.

RESUMEN

AIMS: To investigate the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on experimentally induced inflammation in retrodiscal tissues of the rabbit temporo?mandibular joint (TMJ) using scintigraphic imaging. METHODS: Eleven male New Zealand rabbits were included in this study. Six randomly selected rabbits were imaged to provide normal joint images (normal group) before the initiation of the experiment. A 5% formalin solution was locally injected into both right and left TMJs of all rabbits. Subsequently, Ga-Al-As laser (wavelength: 815 nm; energy density: 12 J/cm2; output power: 250 mW) was applied for 48 seconds. The treatment was performed six times for 2 weeks to the left TMJ of all rabbits. The right TMJs of the rabbits were used as the control (nontreated) TMJ group, while left TMJs were used as the treated TMJ group. Static images of TMJ were taken at 24 hours, 7 days, and 14 days after the beginning of the treatment. The images of all TMJs were taken in the posteroanterior direction with the rabbit under sedation and its mouth open. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare group differences, and intragroup differences were determined by the Friedman test and Wilcoxon sign test. RESULTS: Significant differences were found between normal and both the control and treated TMJ groups. A reduction of inflammation in both treated and control TMJ groups was obtained, but there was no statistically significant difference between the groups. CONCLUSION: Under the conditions used in this study, quantitative scintigraphic measurements of TMJ inflammation of the treated TMJ group decreased but did not differ significantly from those of the control TMJ group.
