Detection and Clinical Significance of Thrombus Molecular Markers in Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma / 肿瘤防治研究

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the detection and clinical significance of thrombus molecular markers in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Methods We collected the blood specimens of 60 patients with DLBCL, involving 23 cases in the initial treatment group, 24 cases in the remission group and 13 cases in the non-remission group, 23 cases in the thrombus group and 37 cases in the non-thrombus group. We selected 46 healthy people in the same period as the control group. The levels of thrombomodulin (TM), plasmin-α2 plasmin inhibitor complex (PIC), tissue plasminogen activator-plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 complex (t-PAIC) and thrombin-antithrombin Ⅲ complex (TAT) in plasma were detected by chemical immunoassay, and the levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in serum was detected by automatic biochemical analyzer. We analyzed the differences of thrombus molecular markers among groups and prognostic factors. Results The levels of TM and PIC in plasma of lymphoma patients were higher than those in health control group (P < 0.05). The levels of TM and PIC in the initial treatment and non-remission groups were significantly higher than those in the remission group (P < 0.05). The levels of TM, PIC and TAT in thrombus group were higher than those in non-thrombus group (P < 0.05). TM and PIC levels in plasma were closely related to the prognosis of DLBCL patients. PIC was an independent prognostic factor (P < 0.001). TM and PIC levels were correlated with LDH prognostic indicators in lymphoma patients. Conclusion TM and PIC levels in plasma are significantly increased in DLBCL patients. They are expected to be the indicators for effectiveness and prognosis of DLBCL patients.
