To clarify sex differences in DNA synthesis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), bromodeoxyuridine labeling indices (BrdU LI) of HCC cells included in tumor biopsy specimens from 12 consecutive male patients and from 5 consecutive female patients all with liver cirrhosis and HCC were examined using an in vitro labeling technique. The mean BrdU LI +/- SE of HCC from male patients (7.7 +/- 0.8%) was significantly (P less than 0.05) higher than that from female patients (4.4 +/- 1.0%). While 7 of the 12 male HCC patients belonged to the high DNA synthesis group (BrdU LI greater than or equal to 7.0%), none of the 5 female HCC patients showed high DNA synthesis (P less than 0.05). We conclude that DNA synthesis in HCC was higher in males than in females.
为阐明肝细胞癌(HCC)中DNA合成的性别差异,采用体外标记技术检测了12例连续男性患者和5例连续女性患者的肿瘤活检标本中HCC细胞的溴脱氧尿苷标记指数(BrdU LI),所有患者均患有肝硬化和HCC。男性患者HCC的平均BrdU LI±SE(7.7±0.8%)显著高于女性患者(4.4±1.0%)(P<0.05)。12例男性HCC患者中有7例属于高DNA合成组(BrdU LI≥7.0%),而5例女性HCC患者均未表现出高DNA合成(P<0.05)。我们得出结论,HCC中的DNA合成男性高于女性。
