Lipid per oxidation final products and free oxygen radicals are thought as initiator role for developing of cancer in the body. Level of paraoxonase in the patients with cancer varies. In this research, the investigators investigated the contribution of level of serum and bronchoalveolar lavage paraoxonase in the differentiation of benign and malignant lung disease patients. This research includes the patients that are diagnosis of lung cancer (research group) and benign pulmonary disease (control group) participated by accepted fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB).

This research includes the patients that are diagnosis of lung cancer (research group) and benign pulmonary disease (control group) participated by accepted fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB). Paraoxonase and Cancer Relations Oxidative stress is one of the important etiologic factor in carcinogenesis. Serum PON1 activity was found to be significantly lower in patients with lung cancer than healthy people by Elkiran and her friends et al. Also, gastroesophageal cancer, meningioma, high-grade glioma and ovarian epithelial was found to be significantly lower in tumour patients according to control groups in plasma. The relationship between serum PON1 level and the occurrence of cancer is still unknown. PON1 polymorphism has been reported to be related with an increased risk of occurrence of cancer in relation to environmental chemicals. Reactive oxygen radicals can usually lead to tissue damage by attacking all cell components. Increased free oxygen radicals and oxidative stress which is formed in the body are one of the important risk factor in increasing various types of cancer. Lipid peroxidation's final products and scavenger system components are thought to have for a starter role in oncogenesis. Carcinogenic radicals that are liposoluble are formed as a result of lipid peroxidation and PON1 binds with radicals that are liposoluble. PON1 are thought to be capable to metabolize these radicals that are liposoluble. PON1 activity and oxidative stress has been suggested to be inversely related in serum and macrophages. Loss of paraoxonase protective effect may play a role in increasing the sensitivity to genomic damage which inflammatory oxidants and diets carcinogens caused . Purpose of this research is to compare serum and bronchoalveolar lavage liqs PON contrasts between patients with lung cancer and the control group and to determine if the enzyme is lower in plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage liqs in case of malignant.

Fiberoptic bronchoscopy was performed under local anaesthesia and sedation for taking Bronchoalveolar Lavage Liq for Paraoxanase activity. Blood samples were taken too.
Difference of Paraoxonase Serum and BAL Levels between malignant and benign lung diseases
Paraoxonase Measurement: Before bronchoscopy, 10 cc of blood were drawn from all patients via the cubital vein in sterile conditions. 16x100 mm Ayset tube was placed in two biochemistry tube. BAL material and a tube of blood sample were sent to The Microbiology Laboratory after the operation. The other one was sent to The Biochemistry Laboratory. Whole blood and BAL samples were centrifuged at 3500 rpm for 5 minutes in the laboratory and stocked at -200°C until the test run. Serum total cholesterol, HDL, LDL levels were researched at whole blood samples which are placed in another tube in biochemistry laboratory by using OLYMPUS AU 2700 autoanalyzer. For the measurement of PON levels in serum and BAL, Human Paraoxonase ELISA kit (Nova Tein Inc. Biosience. USA) was used.
