Pulmonary sequestration associated with a synchronous elevation of carbohydrate antigen 50 and 19-9: a case report
1Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital, Hangzhou 310000, China.
Abstract:
This report describes a 37-year-old woman who experienced elevated serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) and carbohydrate antigen 50 (CA50). Intralobar pulmonary sequestration was confirmed via enhanced chest computed tomography (CT) scanning and positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), which indicated two abnormal vessels arising from the descending thoracic aorta. Lobectomy of the left inferior lobe was performed as the optimal surgical approach and the pathological analysis met the diagnosis of intralobar pulmonary sequestration. Review of the patient's serum levels of CA50 and CA19-9 showed that these two tumor markers significantly decreased after surgery and finally went down to normal values. Therefore, the synchronically significant elevation of serum CA50 and CA19-9 was due to intralobar pulmonary sequestration.

The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to ambient atmospheric pressure. Since the vapor pressure of a solution is lowered due to the presence of nonvolatile solutes, it stands to reason that the solution’s boiling point will subsequently be increased. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one...

Starch accounts for approximately 60% of the carbohydrates consumed by humans. Since amylase enzymes cannot function in the stomach's acidic environment, starch can only be digested in the mouth and small intestine. Simple sugars are found naturally in milk and fruits in...
