Comparative Study[The comparison of the 1992 and 2012 Atlanta classifications for assessing disease severity in patients with acute pancreatitis].
To compare the discrepancy between the new(2012) and the old (1992) Atlanta classification criteria for defining severity, organ failure and local complications in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP). ⋯ The diagnostic criteria of organ failure are different between the new and old Atlanta classification. The SAP patients classified by the new standard have worse outcome than those by the old standard. More attention needs to be paid to critical patients stratified by the new standard.

[The diagnostic significance of single or combination lung cancer-related serum biomarkers in high risk lung cancer patients].
The aim of this study was to assess the clinical value of pro-gastrin releasing peptide (ProGRP), squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag), cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen 21-1(Cyfra21-1) and carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA ) in the diagnosis and clinical stage of lung cancer in Chinese patients. ⋯ This panel of serum tumor markers including ProGRP, Cyfra21-1 and CEA improves the diagnostic specificity and sensitivity in patients with high-risk lung cancer. The serum CEA level of advanced lung cancer patients is significantly increased. The high level of serum ProGRP predicts the ED-SCLC.
