Clinical diagnostical benefit of acid fat content investigation in endobronchial fluids in patients with lung cancer
Abstract
The comparative estimation of lipid content changes in tracheobrocnhial secretion in patients with malignant tumor and non-specific pulmonary diseases was carried out. The percent ratio of lipid acids content in lipid extracts of endobronchial lavage fluids was studied by the gase-fluid chromatography method. 20 patients with non-specific pulmonary diseases and 52 patients with verified pulmonary oncopathology were examined. It was found, that during malignant tumor, the percent content of stearinic and oleinic acids is significantly greater than in non-specific pulmonary diseases. Duirng lung cancer, the arachidonic acid content is significantly lower in comparison with non-specific pulmonary diseases and control values. The diagnostical coefficient was calculated: the content of stearinic acid in pescents plus the oleinic acid content in percents and all that is divided on the arachidonic acid content in percents. During that index increase in bronchial lavage lipid extract more than 8.5 r.u., the diagnosis of malignant pulmonary tumor may be established.
