Heliyon 2024; 10:e31682. [PMID: 38828358 PMCID: PMC11140700 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e31682] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2024] [Revised: 05/19/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Thyroid carcinoma has an increasing incidence of endocrine system cancers. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and thyroglobulin (Tg) are the primary diagnostic modalities employed for assessing metastatic lymph nodes (LNs) in thyroid cancer. Due to the limited accuracy, rare patients benefited from these procedures. In this research, we aimed to discover a dependable biomarker that could increase the accuracy of FNAC's ability to diagnose metastatic LNs among patients suffering from papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). From March 2021 to July 2023, 99 LNs from PTC patients who had thyroid ultrasonography suspicions of metastases were examined. All patients underwent FNAC, washout Tg and CYFRA 21-1 measurements. Surgical histology and a subsequent FNAC were utilized to validate the outcomes of LNs. In our study, the optimal cut-off value for CYFRA 21-1 washout fluid was 1.145 ng/mL, with a specificity of 94.00 % (slightly lower than Tg and FNAC at 98 %). However, CYFRA 21-1 demonstrated significantly higher diagnostic sensitivity (85.71 %) and accuracy (86.41 %) compared to Tg (71.43 %, 81.55 %) and FNAC (69.39 %, 80.58 %). Furthermore, FNAC plus washout CYFRA 21-1 performed better in diagnosing the metastatic LNs in PTC than FNAC plus Tg, which may indicate a novel solution for metastatic LNs diagnosis in PTC.

Sci Rep 2024; 14:7599. [PMID: 38556517 PMCID: PMC10982287 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-58093-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2023] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Cervical lymph node (LN) metastasis is common in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). This study evaluated the utility of the washout CYFRA 21-1 level, combined with the thyroglobulin (Tg) concentration, in terms of diagnosis of LN metastasis. We prospectively enrolled 53 patients who underwent thyroid surgery to treat DTC with lateral cervical LN metastases. Preoperative ultrasound guided needle localization was used to surgical sampling of specific LNs during the operation. The intraoperative washout Tg and CYFRA 21-1 levels were measured in such LNs. The Tg and CYFRA 21-1 levels differed significantly between metastatic and benign LNs. The cutoff values were 2.63 ng/mL for washout CYFRA 21-1 and 22.62 ng/mL for Tg. Combined use of the washout Tg and CYFRA 21-1 levels afforded the highest diagnostic accuracy (92.5%), better than that of individual markers. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) were 94.6%, 90.0%, 91.4%, 93.8%, respectively. The conjunction of the washout CYFRA21-1 and Tg levels enhances the diagnostic accuracy of LN metastasis in DTC patients. The washout CYFRA 21-1 level may be useful when malignancy is suspected, especially in cases where the cytology and washout Tg findings do not provide definitive results.

Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1265:341340.

Abstract
Ultrasensitive and accurate physiological monitoring is of great significance for disease diagnosis and treatment. In this project, an efficient photoelectrochemical (PEC) split-type sensor on the basis of controlled release strategy was established with great success. Heterojunction formation between g-C3N4 and Zn-doped CdS improved the visible light absorption efficiency, reduced carrier complexation, improved the PEC signal, and increased the stability of the PEC platform. Compared to the traditional model of immunosensors, the process of antigen-antibody specific binding was done in a 96 microplate, and the sensor separated the immune reaction from the photoelectrochemical conversion process, eliminating mutual interference. Cu2O nanocubes were used to label the second antibody (Ab2), and acid etching using HNO3 released a large amount of divalent copper ions, which exchanged cations with Cd2+ in the substrate material, causing a sharp drop in photocurrent and improving the sensitivity of the sensor. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the PEC sensor based on the controlled release strategy for CYFRA21-1 target detection had a wide concentration linear range of 5 × 10-5 to 100 ng/mL with a low detection limit of 0.0167 pg/mL (S/N = 3). This intelligent response variation pattern could also offer the possibility of additional clinical applications for other target detection.

Abstract
Purpose In current studies, the role of serum Cytokeratin-19 fragments (CYFRA 21-1) in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify the diagnostic and prognostic value of CYFRA 21-1 in CRC. Patients and Methods Data were collected for 196 stage I-III CRC patients and 50 colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) patients between January 2018 and December 2019. The serum CYFRA 21-1 levels were measured using the chemiluminescent particle immunoassay (CMIA) kit in all objects and common biomarkers such as CA19-9, CEA, HSP90α, and AFP were measured in all colorectal cancer patients. We investigated the association between CYFRA 21-1 level and clinicopathological features. In addition, we evaluated the ability of serum CRFRA21-1 to differentiate CRLM from CRC. To assess the potential prognostic value, we used Cox proportional hazard model for univariate or multivariate analyses. Results Serum CYFRA 21-1 was significantly elevated in CRLM patients compared to stage I-III CRC patients (5.85 ng/mL vs 2.29 ng/mL, p < 0.001). For all CRC patients cohort, stage I-III CRC patients cohort and CRLM patients cohort, the optimal cutoff levels of CYFRA 21-1 for overall survival (OS) were 3.47 ng/mL, 2.14 ng/mL and 7.63 ng/mL, respectively, and the optimal cutoff levels for progression-free survival (PFS) were 3.47 ng/mL, 2.56 ng/mL and 7.63 ng/mL, respectively. For CRLM patients, Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients with high CYFRA 21-1 level had poor OS. Multivariate analysis indicated that the CYFRA 21-1 level was an independent prognostic factor for PFS in stage I-III patients. And CYFRA 21-1 levels and age were independent prognostic factors for OS and PFS in CRLM patients. Conclusion CYFRA 21-1 can better differentiate CRLM patients from the whole CRC patients and has unique prognostic value for CRLM patients.

Development of a Colloidal Gold Immunochromatographic Strip for Rapid Detection of Cyfra 21-1 in Lymph Node Metastasis of Thyroid Cancer. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2022; 10:871285. [PMID: 35497346 PMCID: PMC9039041 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.871285] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2022] [Accepted: 03/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/08/2022] Open
Abstract
Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine tumor, and the rate of early lymph node metastasis may be as high as 60%. Currently, detection of lymph node metastasis of thyroid cancer during surgery is limited and time-consuming. Elevated levels of Cyfra 21-1, the proteolytic portion of cytokeratin, are associated with the metastasis and progression of thyroid cancer and are an effective biomarker for the prognosis and diagnosis of thyroid cancer. In this study, an immunochromatographic strip test based on colloidal gold nanoparticles was developed to semi-quantitatively detect the levels of Cyfra 21-1 in lymph nodes within 15 min. The standard (calibration) curve equation was Y = 0.003708 × X + 0.1101, and the detection limit was 0.55–1.14 ng mL−1. The strip did not detect other protein markers of epithelial cells at a concentration of 500 ng mL−1, including cytokeratin 8, cytokeratin 18, epithelial membrane antigen, and epidermal surface antigen. The ability of the strip to differentiate positive from negative metastasis in 40 lymph node specimens was 100% concordant with that of immunohistochemical staining for Cyfra 21-1. In an assessment of 20 lymph node specimens that had been determined by postoperative histopathology to be positive for lymph node metastasis and 20 specimens that were negative, the sensitivity and specificity of the strip were 100% and 95%, respectively. The sensitivity of the strip remained stable when stored at room temperature for 6 months. Together, these results indicated that although further testing using a larger sample size will be required, this immunochromatographic strip test may be useful for rapid intraoperative detection of thyroid cancer metastasis to lymph nodes.
