OBJECTIVE To explore the diagnostic value of combined detection of plasma miR-127-3p and HE4 for breast cancer (BC). METHODS Included in this study were 102 patients with pathologically confirmed BC who received treatment in the affiliated hospital of Nantong University between March 2015 and April 2016, 87 patients with benign breast tumors, and 90 healthy volunteers as control. Plasma miR-127-3p was detected by SYBR Green RT-qPCR, and plasma HE4 was detected by chemiluminescent immunoassay. The diagnostic efficacy of miR-127-3p alone, HE4 alone and combined detection of miR-127-3p and HE4 in BC women patients was evaluated by ROC curve analysis. RESULTS The relative expression quantity (RQ) of plasma miR-127-3p and HE4 in BC patients was 13.561 (3.345∼18.281) pmol/L and 105.42 (40.28∼156.31) pmol/L. The RQ of plasma miR-127-3p in BC patients was significantly higher than that in benign breast tumor patients and healthy individuals (both P< 0.001), and there was no significant difference between benign breast tumor patients and healthy individuals (P> 0.05). There was no significant correlation between plasma miR-127-3p and HE4 levels (r2= 0.086, P= 0.471). ROC curve analysis on the diagnostic efficacy of plasma miR-127-3p and HE4 in BC diagnosis showed that the cut-off value of miR-127-3p and HE4 in BC diagnosis was 3.471 and 63.21 pmol/L; AUC was 0.767 and 0.670; sensitivity was 78.2% and 64.6%; specificity was 79.1% and 69.3%; accuracy was 73.2% and 65.1%, respectively. Prediction probability (P) obtained from the miR-127-3p and HE4 model established by logistic regression was P= 1/ [1 + exp (-0.142miR-127-3p-0.024HE4 + 2.875)]. AUC calculated from ROC was 0.825 and the sensitivity was increased to 87.4%. CONCLUSION Combined detection of plasma miR-127-3p and HE4 greatly improved the sensitivity of BC diagnosis and may prove to be a candidate biomarker for early detection and diagnosis of BC.
Objective To investigate the expression of human epididymal protein 4 (HE4) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its clinical value.Methods From April 2014 to December 2015,Serum samples of 92 non-cancer patients diagnosed as CKD and 84 healthy controls were collected in Nantong University Hospital.HE4,BUN,Scr,Cys C and β2MG were detected.The difference of HE4 expression in different stages of CKD and the correlation of HE4 with Urea,Scr,Cys C and β2MG were analysized,respectively.ROC curve was used to evaluate the auxiliary diagnostic value of HE4,BUN,Scr,Cys C and β2MG.Results The serum HE4 expression in patients with impaired renal function was 388.2 (130.1~1 659.5)mIu/ L,(F=16.237,P=0.001).Which was significantly higher than that in the control group [38.1 (32.77 ~ 48.17)mIu/L].The serum HE4 expression was increased by the stage of renal damage and the difference was existed among different groups (P<0.05).HE4 expression was positive related with Cys C and β2MG.The AUC of HE4,BUN,Scr,Cys C and β2MG were 0.878,0.785,0.816,0.874 and 0.819,respectively.Conlusion It needs to consider the exsits of impaired renal function when the HE4 was detected.The HE4 might be a novel early diagnostic indication for CKD.
OBJECTIVE To explore the value of rheumatoid factor (RF), anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibody, C-reactive protein (CRP), and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS Using rate nephelometry, chemiluminescence microparticle immunoassay (CMIA), and Westergren sedimentation rate testing, we detected RF, anti-CCP antibody, CRP, and ESR in 134 patients with RA and 50 healthy control individuals. RESULTS We observed significant differences in RF, anti-CCP antibody, CRP, and ESR concentrations between the RA and control groups (P <.01). The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy in the diagnosis of RA were 91.0%, 74.4%, and 87.0%, respectively, for RF; 88.0%, 90.4%, and 88.1%, respectively, for anti-CCP antibody; and 90.2%, 83.3%, and 89.5%, respectively, for the detection of RA via the combination of RF and anti-CCP antibody. CONCLUSION Anti-CCP is more specific than the other parameters we reviewed for the diagnosis of RA. Combined detection of the 4 parameters is beneficial when confirming a diagnosis of RA.
Objective:To investigate the features of common viruses in acute lower respiratory infection(ALRI) among hospitalized children in Nantong during 2014. Methods:Swab samples were collected from 752 hospitalized children with ALRI. Seven common respiratory viruses, including influenza virus A and B (IVA A, IVA B), parainfluenza virus (PIVⅠ, PIVⅡ and PIVⅢ), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and adenovirus (ADV) were detected with direct immunofluorescence assay, and to make epidemiological analysis by detailed clinical data. Results:In 752 cases respiratory tract samples, there were 317 cases of positive samples (42.1%). Of these, the proportion of RSV (58.7%) was the highest, followed by PIV Ⅲ(18.9%). The positive rate of virus was different with age. The positive rate of tested viruses among the 0~6 months old in-fants (53.33%) and 6 months~1 year old infants (51.09%) were the highest. The positive rate of virus was different with season. The positive rate in Jan (53.63%), Mar (58.75%) and Dec (53.35%) were higher than other months. The positive rate in Jun (32.39%) is the lowest. The positive rate of virus was different with disease of acute lower respiratory infection. Among these, the positive rate of virus in bronchiolitis (62.50%) was highest, followed by asthmatic bronchitis (49.54%), bronchial asthma concurrent infection (45.94%), pneumonia (36.12%). The positive rate in bronchitis with no gasp (31.21%) was lowest. RSV was the major viral pathogen in each group of diseases. Conclusions:RSV is the predominant viral pathogen associated with ALRI in the hospitalized children in Nantong. 0~1 year old infants are the main infected popula-tion. The prevalence of these viruses exhibits the season-dependence and disease-dependence.

系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)是常见的多系统损害的自身免疫性疾病,近年来的研究发现,T细胞亚群的平衡偏移在疾病的发生发展中有重要的意义.由于T细胞亚群的平衡偏移导致活化T细胞产生的细胞因子也发生偏移,从而诱导B细胞的异常增生,产生大量抗体,促进细胞毒性T细胞活化等一系列免疫效应性病理损伤[1],同时在SLE患者血清中可检测到主要由T辅助细胞分泌的细胞因子,如IL-2,IL-6等.这些特异性自身抗体及细胞因子均是SLE诊断的实验指标.为探讨SLE患者血清IL-6水平与自身抗体之间的关系,我们对55例SLE患者血清进行IL-6水平和抗ENA抗体谱检测.
