Intestinal metaplasia (IM), a precursor of gastric cancer (GC), may be amenable to non-invasive assessment.
We evaluated the diagnostic utility of serum PG-I, PG-II, PG-I/PG-II ratio and gastrin-17 (G-17) to detect IM and atrophy.
The study was conducted at a tertiary care center located in low-incidence area of GC, endemic for H. pylori. The evaluation was designed as a prospective case-control study. Patients with GC and dyspepsia were evaluated by endoscopy, histology for IM (H&E, PAS and Alcian blue stains) and H. pylori (H&E and Giemsa stains), rapid urease test and IgG antibody (positive results in any two assays). Serum levels of PG-I, PG-II and G-17 were estimated using ELISA.
Of the 98 patients with GC and 62 with dyspepsia, 35 (36%) and 9 (14%) had IM, respectively (p = 0.004). Patients with IM (n = 44) had lower PG-UPG-II ratio than those without IM (n = 116; median 4.4, 0.37-23.6 vs. 6.3, 0.19-38.6, respectively; p = 0.005). A cut-off value of PG-I/PG-II ratio of 6.0 had 64% sensitivity and 52% specificity for detecting IM (area under ROC curve 0.64). 26/44 (60%) patients with IM and 52/98 (53%) with GC had PG-I/PG-II ratio < 6. Serum G-17 was comparable among patients with and without IM.
Though the PG-I/PG-II ratio was lower in patients with IM, only 60% had a lower ratio suggesting that this test and G-17 may not be useful to detect IM in low-incidence areas of GC, endemic for H. pylori infection.
肠化生(IM)是胃癌(GC)的前体病变,可能适用于非侵入性评估。
我们评估了血清胃蛋白酶原I(PG-I)、胃蛋白酶原II(PG-II)、PG-I/PG-II比值和胃泌素-17(G-17)检测IM和萎缩的诊断效用。
该研究在一家位于GC低发地区、幽门螺杆菌流行的三级医疗中心进行。该评估设计为一项前瞻性病例对照研究。对GC患者和消化不良患者进行内镜检查、IM组织学检查(苏木精-伊红染色、过碘酸雪夫染色和阿尔辛蓝染色)和幽门螺杆菌检查(苏木精-伊红染色和吉姆萨染色)、快速尿素酶试验和IgG抗体检测(任意两项检测结果为阳性)。采用酶联免疫吸附测定法(ELISA)测定血清PG-I、PG-II和G-17水平。
98例GC患者和62例消化不良患者中,分别有35例(36%)和9例(14%)存在IM(p = 0.004)。存在IM的患者(n = 44)的PG-I/PG-II比值低于无IM的患者(n = 116;中位数分别为4.4,范围0.37 - 23.6 vs. 6.3,范围0.19 - 38.6;p = 0.005)。PG-I/PG-II比值的截断值为6.0时,检测IM的灵敏度为64%,特异度为52%(ROC曲线下面积为0.64)。44例IM患者中有26例(60%)、98例GC患者中有52例(53%)的PG-I/PG-II比值< 6。有无IM的患者血清G-17水平相当。
尽管存在IM的患者PG-I/PG-II比值较低,但只有60%的患者比值较低,这表明在幽门螺杆菌感染流行的GC低发地区,该检测和G-17可能对检测IM无用。
