Beta-human Chorionic Gonadotropin-secreting Lung Adenocarcinoma.
Overexpression of beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) is frequently associated with germ cell tumours, especially choriocarcinoma. Ectopic secretion of β-hCG by non-small cell lung cancer is exceptional. We present an exceedingly rare case of pulmonary adenocarcinoma that secretes β-hCG. Our patient is a 62-year-old postmenopausal woman, a nonsmoker, who presented with a six-month history...
متن کاملHuman Chorionic Gonadotropin
A highly active preparation of human chorionic gonadotropin has been obtained by simple methods of column chromatography on diethylaminoethyl Sephadex and Sephadex G-100. The preparation appeared homogeneous by disc and immunoelectrophoresis, ultracentrifugation, and end group analysis. It assayed at 12,000 i.u. per mg by the rat prostrate gland and accessory sex organ method. The ~20,~ value w...
متن کاملUse of beta-human chorionic gonadotropin in gestational aging.
Quantitative radioimmunoassay (RIA) of the beta chain of human chorionic gonadotropin (B-hCG) in serum has been used to evaluate the gestational status of 99 normal early pregnancies in contrast to 29 ectopic, threatened, aborted and/or terminated cases. Quantitative measurement of serum B-hCG-RIA standardized against the second international standard (2dIS) accurately established age of normal...
متن کاملSerum beta human chorionic gonadotropin levels and preeclampsia.
OBJECTIVE Preeclampsia is one of the most common complications of pregnancy. It is a trophoblastic disorder. Since human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is secreted by trophoblast, the purpose of the study was to determine the levels of beta (hCG) in preeclampsia and normal cases. METHODS This study was conducted on 40 term pregnant women with preeclampsia (case group) and 40 normal pregnant cas...
متن کاملHuman chorionic gonadotropin-beta gene expression in first trimester placenta.
The hCGbeta gene family contains six genes linked in tandem on chromosome 19 and labeled beta genes 7, 8, 5, 1, 2, and 3. Previous studies on a small number of placentas have indicated that beta gene 5 was the most highly expressed gene during the first trimester of pregnancy, followed by genes 3 and 8. Beta genes 7, 1, and 2 were expressed at very low levels. The purpose of this study was to d...
