Abstract: Object To explore the expression of thioredoxin reductase activity inlung cancer and its clinical significance. Methods Detected 50 cases of lung cancerpatients and 50 healthy subjects plasma TrxR activity expression and correlation analysis. Re sults The TrxR activity in plasma of patients with lung cancer was significantly higher than healthy subjects, and there was statistically significant (P <0.05); the average TrxR activity levels of lung adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, small cell lung cancer were 3.96 ± 5.22 U/mL, 6.31 ± 6.20 U/mL, 6.98 ±7.04 U/mL, and the TrxR activity level difference between the groups was not statistically significant (P> 0.05). Conclusion The expression of TrxR activity expression was closely related to lung cancer;and the TrxR activity express the same among the different histological types of lung cancer.
