A randomized clinical trial of home nursing care for lung cancer patients
Abstract
Serum glycyl-l-prolyl 4-methyl-coumaryl-7-amide (gly-pro-MCA) hydrolase (DPP IV) and L-lysyl-L-alanyl beta-naphthylamide (lys-ala-beta NA) hydrolase (assumed to be DPP II) activities were measured in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma and healthy subjects. The mean serum DPP IV activity of all cancer patients was significantly (P less than 0.001) decreased, compared with that of healthy subjects. Although there was no significant difference between the stages by International Union Against Cancer (UICC) classification (1978), DPP IV levels tended to change dynamically, reflecting the clinical status during therapies. The serum DPP IV activity of patients with a fair prognosis was significantly elevated toward the normal range, whereas the activity of patients with a poor prognosis was significantly decreased (P less than 0.05). In contrast, the mean serum lys-ala-beta NA hydrolytic activity of cancer patients was significantly (P less than 0.001) increased, compared with that of healthy subjects, and was changed reciprocally to DPP IV activity. The correlation of these two serum enzyme activities with tumor weights also was observed in animal models using nude mice transplanted with human KB carcinoma cells and hamsters transplanted with BHK21 cells. These results indicate that these serum enzyme levels may become an aid for the diagnosis of malignant tumors and for estimating the prognosis of the patients.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
In the citing paper
“For example, we (McCorkle et al.)14 conducted a randomized clinical trial with three intervention arms testing the effect of a specialized oncology home care and usual office care on the QOL and level of dependency of individuals with progressive lung cancer.”

In the citing paper
“We found that even in the context of advancing disease, patients in the specialized oncology home care intervention had less distress (p=.03) and greater independence (p=.02) than participants in the usual care group.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
