ZHANG Fujun, et al. Clinical significance of determination of serum sialic acid in patients with oral and maxillofacial tumors[J]. Journal of Chongqing Medical University, 2002,(1):76-78. DOI: 10.13406/j.cnki.cyxb.2002.01.025.
Objective: To study the use of determination of serum sialic acid in diagnoses and curative effect observation of oral and maxillofacial tumors. Methods: The contents of SA of 151 samples including 60 normal persons
53 benign and 38 malignant oral-facial tumors were determined. Results:The contents of serum SA of the patients with malignant tumors were significantly higher than that of normal persons and the patients with benign tumors (q =18.75~21.04
P<0.01). The contents of serum SA of the patients with malignant tumors were significantly decreased when the therapy (including operation and chemotherapy) was effective(t =9.80~35.35
P<0.01)
but were still higher than that of normal persons(t =7.20
P<0.01). On the contrary
the contents of serum SA remained high or even higher when the malignant tumors recurred or metastasized. Conclusion: Determination of serum SA was valuable in diagnoses and curative effect observation of oral and maxillofacial tumors.
