Evaluation of CLIA plus NAT for detecting HBsAg single-ELISA-reactive samples of blood donors / 中国输血杂志

【Objective】 To study the detection performance of HBsAg single-ELISA-reactive samples of blood donors. 【Methods】 Two kinds of ELISA reagents from different manufacturers (named as reagents A and B) were used for HBsAg screening. A total of 276 samples, from January 2017 to May 2021, with HBsAg single-ELISA-reactive results were collected for further nucleic acid detection technology (NAT) and chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) testing, to undergo HBV-DNA and five hepatitis B tests, respectively. The relationship between HBsAg single-ELISA-reactivity, NAT and CLIA was statistically analyzed. 【Results】 Among the 276 HBsAg single-ELISA-reactive samples, 14 were NAT reactive, with the positive rate of 5.07% (14/276). Fisher′s exact test was used to compare the compliance of reagents A and B with NAT reactivity, and the difference was not statistically significant (P<0.05). Among 14 HBsAg+ /NAT+ samples retested by CLIA, 2 were HBsAg reactive(14.29%, 2/14), 13 were anti-HBc reactive (92.86%, 13/14), 9 had the quantitative value of anti-HBs <10 mIU/mL, 5 had the quantitative value of anti-HBs between 10 to 100mIU/ mL. A total of 5 serological patterns were detected, and anti-HBe+ /anti-HBc+ pattern was the dominant. There were 262 cases of HBsAg+ /NAT- samples, but only 1 (0.38%, , 1/262) case was HBsAg reactive by CLIA, 100 were anti-HBc reactive (38.17%, 100/262), 144 (54.96%, 144/262) were anti-HBs reactive, and 1 was HBeAg reactive. A total of 8 serological patterns were detected. 【Conclusion】 Most of HBsAg single-ELISA-reactive results are false, and NAT could effectively reduce the residual risk of transfusion transmitted diseases.

68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/MR multiparameter imaging in the diagnosis of naive prostate cancer / 中华核医学与分子影像杂志

Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of 68Ga-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-11 PET/MR multiparameter multimodal functional imaging in the diagnosis of naive prostate cancer (PCa), and to analyze its efficacy in the early stages of PCa. Methods:From July to September 2019, 45 suspected or pathologically confirmed PCa patients (average age: 69 years) who met the inclusion criteria were collected to perform 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/MR examination in Nanjing First Hospital. After the scanning was completed, the method of region of interest (ROI) was used to semi-quantitatively calculate the tumor radioactive uptake in the fusion image, including the maximum standardized uptake value (SUV max), tumor metabolic volume (MTV) and mean standardized uptake value (SUV mean), and PSMA expression load was calculated(SUV mean×MTV). Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of ROI were measured in ADC images ( b=1 500 s/mm 2). The efficacy of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/MR in the preoperative diagnosis of PCa and the effect on clinical staging were evaluated with the pathological results. The correlation between prostate specific antigen (PSA) and radiation uptake in PCa tissues, PSMA expression load and ADC values was analyzed by Pearson correlation. Independent-sample t test was used to analyze the data. Results:Pathologically, 38 of the 45 patients were with PCa and 7 patients had benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), and metastasis occurred in 12 of the 38 PCa patients. 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/MR detected 39 cases of PCa with one of which was false-positive. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/MR were 100%(38/38), 6/7, 97.4%(38/39), 6/6 and 97.8%(44/45), respectively. The tumor tissues of PCa often showed focal radioactive uptake, and the T 2 weighted imaging (WI) showed focal low signal and limited dispersion. BPH showed slightly uneven uptake, and T 2WI and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) showed uneven diffuse signals. SUV max of PCa was significantly higher than that of BPH (24.66±19.21 vs 4.97±2.13; t=5.208, P<0.001). ADC values of PCa were significantly lower than that of BPH ((0.91±0.37)×10 -3vs (1.08±0.24)×10 -3 mm/s 2; t=2.816, P<0.05). SUV max and the expression loads of PSMA in PCa were positively correlated with PSA ( r values: 0.42 and 0.71, both P<0.05). ADC values of tumor tissues in PCa were negatively correlated with PSA ( r=-0.37, P=0.013). Conclusion:68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/MR has great merits in the early diagnosis and staging of PCa.

Objective@#To investigate the clinicopathologic features and prognosis of the patients who had clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC) with metastasis to the pancreas.@*Methods@#From Jan, 2000 to Dec, 2018, 18 patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC) and had pathologically diagnosed metastasis to the pancreas were enrolled at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The clinical and pathological data were retrospectively analyzed.@*Results@#11 out of 18 patients were male, and the other 7 were female. The average age of onset of CCRCC was 51.4 years. 8 cases (44.4%) occurred in the left kidney, and the other 10 cases (55.6%) with right kidney tumor. Three patients had synchronous pancreatic metastasis, and the other 15 patients had metachronous pancreatic metastasis. The median time from CCRCC onset to pancreas metastasis was 156 months. The main complaints of pancreas metastasis were abdominal pain, jaundice, gastrointestinal bleeding, nausea, weakness, loss of weight and so on. Seven patients (38.9%) had single lesion of pancreas, while 11 patients (66.1%) had multiple lesions of pancreas. Nine patients (50%) had other organs metastasis besides pancreatic metastasis at the same time. Five patients underwent pancreatic metastasis resection, while 15 patients received oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor(TKI). The mean follow-up was 171.7 months(1~361.5 months) and 5 patients died. The median overall survival (mOS) was 122 months, and the 5 year-survival rate was 81.4%. In univariate analysis, synchronous metastasis to the pancreas, relapse after 10 years, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center prognostic index, International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium index were all significant parameters for patients′survival.@*Conclusions@#Metastasis to the pancreas from clear cell renal cell carcinoma were rare. These patients had better survival outcomes, especially those relapsing after ten years. Pancreatic metastasis resection had no significant benefit on patient′s survival.

Monitoring depth of anesthesia and effect analysis in primary visual cortex of rats based on complexity of local field potential / 生物医学工程学杂志

In the present study carried out in our laboratory, we recorded local field potential (LFP) signals in primary visual cortex (V1 area) of rats during the anesthesia process in the electrophysiological experiments of invasive microelectrode array implant, and obtained time evolutions of complexity measure Lempel-ziv complexity (LZC) by nonlinear dynamic analysis method. Combined with judgment criterion of tail flick latency to thermal stimulus and heart rate, the visual stimulation experiments are carried out to verify the reliability of anesthetized states by complexity analysis. The experimental results demonstrated that the time varying complexity measures LZC of LFP signals of different channels were similar to each other in the anesthesia process. In the same anesthesia state, the difference of complexity measure LZC between neuronal responses before and after visual stimulation was not significant. However, the complexity LZC in different anesthesia depths had statistical significances. Furthermore, complexity threshold value represented the depth of anesthesia was determined using optimization method. The reliability and accuracy of monitoring the depth of anesthesia using complexity measure LZC of LFP were all high. It provided an effective method of realtime monitoring depth of anesthesia for craniotomy patients in clinical operation.

Effect of Intranasal T-bet Plasmid Transfer on Th1/Th2 Balance in Spleen MNC in a Established Murine Allergic Asthmatic Model / 中山大学学报(医学科学版)

[Objective] This study was designed to determine Th1, Th2 cell numbers and investigate T-bet mRNA, GATA-3 mRNA expression of spleen MNC in a mufine asthmatic model which intended to understand effect of airway T-bet plasmid gene transfer on Th differentiation. [ Methods] A mouse asthmatic model was established by sensitization with ovalbumin (OVA). Thirty-two C57BL/6 mice were divided into four groups (8 mice in each group): the normal control group (group A ), the asthmatic model group (group B), the pcDNA3 plasmid group (group C), the pcDNA3-T-bet group (group D). All animals were sensitized and challenged with OVA, except group A normal saline was applied. The group C was intranasally administered 50 μg pcDNA3 plasmid at 24 h before intranasal challenges, and the 50 μg pcDNA3-T-bet plasmid for the mice of group D. We investigated Th1 and Th2 cell numbers by FACS and T-bet, GATA-3mRNA expression of spleen mononuclear cells (MNC) by semi-quantitative PCR in the four groups. [Result] Th1 percent in spleen MNC of pcDNA3-T-bet treated mice was significantly increased ([2.29±1.551% vs. [1.93±1.141%, P<0.05), while Th2 percent was significantly decreased ([0.93±0.64]% vs. [1.63±0.59]%), compared with that of the asthmatic control group mice by FACS. Spleen MNC was detected a high level of T-bet mRNA expression (0.53±0.027 vs. 0.28±0.035, P<0.05) and a low level of GATA-3 mRNA expression (0.24±0.022 vs. 0.58±0.038, P<0.05) after pcDNA3-T-bet treatment by RT-PCR. There was no significant change between the pcDNA3 plasmid group and the asthmatic model group. [Conclusion] The intranasal transfer of pcDNA3-T-bet plasmid was effective in modulating the imbalance of Th1/Th2 in mice asthma model, which provides a novel therapeutic strategy for transferring transcriptional factor in allergic asthma.
