Objectives: Reports have shown that the kynurenine pathway, one of the pathways by which tryptophan is metabolized, is activated in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Activation of the kynurenine pathway triggers the production of various metabolites, such as kynurenine (Kyn), 3-hydroxykynurenine (3-HK), 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid (3-HAA), kynurenic acid (KA), and anthranilic acid (AA), which contribute to immune tolerance. The current study aimed to investigate the changes in metabolites of kynurenine pathway in DLBCL patients and evaluate their performance predicting DLBCL.

Methods: Changes in metabolites of kynurenine pathway were examined using high-performance liquid chromatography in 35 DLBCL patients (age 61.2 ± 13.5 years) and 44 healthy controls (age 58.5 ± 12.5 years).

Results: DLBCL patients had significantly higher levels of 3-HK, AA, and 3-HAA but lower levels of tryptophan (Trp) and KA compared to healthy controls. Given that the ratio of each metabolite represents the change in the Kyn pathway, the 3-HK/KA ratio was examined. Notably, DLBCL patients had a significantly higher 3-HK/KA ratio compared to healthy controls. In DLBCL, the area under the receiver operative characteristic (ROC) curve for 3-HK/KA (0.999) was higher than that for lactate dehydrogenase (0.885) and comparable to that for soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) (0.997). Based on ROC curve analysis, the 3-HK/KA ratio was found to be useful biomarker for the diagnosis of DLBCL.

Conclusion: Our results suggest that the 3-HK/KA ratio is a clinically useful biomarker of DLBCL. Moreover, its combination with existing markers, such as sIL-2R, can improve its effectiveness of diagnosing DLBCL.

研究目的有报告显示,在弥漫大B细胞淋巴瘤(DLBCL)患者体内,色氨酸代谢途径之一的犬尿氨酸途径被激活。犬尿氨酸通路的激活会引发多种代谢产物的产生,如犬尿氨酸(Kyn)、3-羟基犬尿氨酸(3-HK)、3-羟基蒽二酸(3-HAA)、犬尿酸(KA)和蒽二酸(AA),它们有助于免疫耐受。本研究旨在探讨犬尿氨酸途径代谢物在DLBCL患者中的变化,并评估其预测DLBCL的性能:方法:采用高效液相色谱法检测35名DLBCL患者(年龄为61.2 ± 13.5岁)和44名健康对照者(年龄为58.5 ± 12.5岁)的犬尿氨酸途径代谢物的变化:结果:与健康对照组相比,DLBCL 患者的 3-HK、AA 和 3-HAA 水平明显较高,但色氨酸 (Trp) 和 KA 水平较低。鉴于每种代谢物的比例代表了 Kyn 通路的变化,因此研究了 3-HK/KA 的比例。值得注意的是,与健康对照组相比,DLBCL 患者的 3-HK/KA 比率明显更高。在 DLBCL 患者中,3-HK/KA 的接收器操作特征曲线下面积(ROC)(0.999)高于乳酸脱氢酶(0.885),与可溶性白细胞介素-2 受体(sIL-2R)(0.997)相当。根据 ROC 曲线分析,3-HK/KA 比值被认为是诊断 DLBCL 的有用生物标志物:结论:我们的研究结果表明,3-HK/KA 比值是一种对临床有用的 DLBCL 生物标志物。结论:我们的研究结果表明,3-HK/KA 比值是一种对临床有用的 DLBCL 生物标志物,而且它与现有标志物(如 sIL-2R)的结合可以提高诊断 DLBCL 的有效性。

Objective: To evaluate the application effect of SPRi monoclonal antibody (mAb) chip in the detection of influenza virus antigen in complex mixtures.

Methods: A total of 115 strains of mAbs against different subtypes (H1N1, H5N1, A1, A3, B, H7N9, H9N2, and H3N2) of influenza virus were prepared. The chip of mAbs against influenza virus was prepared by surface plasmonic resonance imaging (SPRi) technology, which was used for the detection of influenza virus supernatant, and compared with the traditional antigen capture ELISA method.

Results: Comparative studies have shown that traditional antigen capture ELISA methods have a higher sensitivity (86.8% (46/53) vs. 46.5% (46/99); z = 4.84, P < .001), while the SPRi chip methods present a significantly higher specificity (56.3% (9/16) vs. 14.5% (9/62); z = 3.54, P < .001). The SPRi chip detection method for influenza virus antibodies can well reflect the specific binding characteristics of influenza virus antigens and antibodies.

Conclusion: The SPRi mAb chip can be used for the detection of specific pathogenic microorganisms or viral proteins in complex mixtures such as influenza virus supernatant. It has significant advantages of label free, real-time, high-throughput, and good specificity, and can play an important role in disease diagnosis and infectious disease prevention and control.

Background: The Dutch guideline algorithm for the analysis of anaemia in patients of general practitioners (GPs) was programmed in a Clinical Decision Support system (CDS-anaemia) to support the process of diagnosing the cause of anaemia in the laboratory. This research aims to assess the supplementary benefit provided by the automated algorithm in various demographic categories, including different sexes, age groups and severities of anaemia, in comparison to the manual diagnostic approach employed by GPs.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of 5399 primary care patients where the cause of anaemia was diagnosed by GPs with or without the aid of CDS-anaemia within the age groups 18-44, 45-64, 65-79 and 80 and older. Anaemia was defined according to the Dutch College of General Practitioners (DCGP) guideline. Causes of anaemia were based on the DCGP guidelines with the corresponding blood tests. By calculation of rate ratios and percentage differences of the determined cause of anaemia we evaluated the effect of the diagnostic algorithm.

Results and conclusion: The percentage patients in which an underlying cause of anaemia was found increased 34 and 46 percentage points in females and males, respectively, when GPs were supported by CDS-anaemia compared to GPs who were not supported by CDS-anaemia. The highest increase in percentage points when CDS-anaemia was used, was found in younger- and middle-aged males and mild or moderate anaemia.

背景 用于分析全科医生(GPs)患者贫血情况的荷兰指南算法已编入临床决策支持系统(CDS-anaemia),以支持实验室诊断贫血原因的过程。本研究旨在评估自动算法在不同人口统计类别(包括不同性别、年龄组和贫血严重程度)中提供的辅助效益,并与全科医生采用的人工诊断方法进行比较。方法 这是一项回顾性队列研究,研究对象是 5399 名初级保健患者,这些患者的贫血原因是由全科医生在使用或未使用 CDS-anaemia 的情况下诊断出来的,年龄段分别为 18-44、45-64、65-79 和 80 岁及以上。贫血的定义依据荷兰全科医师学院(Dutch College of General Practitioners,DCGP)指南。贫血的原因以荷兰全科医师学院指南为基础,并进行相应的血液检测。通过计算确定的贫血原因的比率和百分比差异,我们评估了诊断算法的效果。结果和结论 与未使用 CDS-anaemia 系统的全科医生相比,使用 CDS-anaemia 系统的全科医生在发现潜在贫血原因的患者中,男性和女性的比例分别增加了 34 和 46 个百分点。中青年男性和轻度或中度贫血患者使用 CDS-anaemia 的百分比增幅最大。

Background: This study examines the association between the coefficient of variation (%CV) of lithium levels and episode risk and frequency in bipolar patients maintaining serum lithium levels within the therapeutic range.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients with bipolar disorder under care from 2018 to 2022. Inclusion criteria were at least 2 years of follow-up, a minimum of three annual lithium level measurements within the therapeutic range. Patients were categorized based on seizure status. We calculated mean lithium levels, standard deviation (SD), and %CV.

Results: The study included 75 patients (patients with-without episodes, 39-36). Demographic data revealed no significant differences. While mean lithium levels showed no significant disparity between groups, SD and %CV were notably higher in patients with episodes (P < .05). ROC analysis demonstrated AUC values of 0.722 (95% CI: 0.607-0.836 P = .001) for %CV and 0.709 (95% CI: 0.593-0.826; P = .002) for SD. The optimal %CV cutoff was 17.39, with 67% sensitivity and 69% specificity. A weak correlation was found between %CV and the number of episodes (P = .001, r = 0.376). The post-hoc power analysis for this study was 0.78.

Conclusions: Despite acceptable lithium levels, patients with recent episodes exhibited significant lithium level fluctuations. Integrating %CV with real-time lithium measurements during bipolar disorder follow-up may enhance clinical monitoring and seizure prediction.

研究背景本研究探讨了将血清锂水平维持在治疗范围内的双相情感障碍患者的锂水平变异系数(%CV)与发病风险和频率之间的关系:我们回顾性研究了2018年至2022年接受治疗的双相情感障碍患者。纳入标准为至少随访两年,每年至少测量三次治疗范围内的锂水平。根据发作状态对患者进行分类。我们计算了平均锂水平、标准差(SD)和%CV:研究共纳入 75 名患者(有发作-无发作患者,39-36 人)。人口统计学数据无明显差异。虽然各组间的平均锂水平没有明显差异,但发病患者的标准差和百分比CV明显更高:尽管锂水平尚可接受,但近期发病的患者锂水平波动明显。在双相情感障碍随访过程中将%CV与实时锂测量相结合,可加强临床监测和癫痫发作预测。

Background: The detection of deficiencies in B12 and folate children is important. However, despite the availability of various markers to assess B12 and folate metabolism, there are limited studies describing the reference intervals (RIs) and changes during growth and development for these markers in healthy children.

Methods: Using samples collected from 378 children aged 30 days-< 18 years, we derived continuous RIs for holotranscobalamin, homocysteine and red cell folate.

Results: The lower RI for holotranscobalamin was lowest at birth, rising during early childhood and then declining following ages 4-6 years whereas red cell folate was highest early in life and then declined steadily towards adulthood. Total homocysteine, reflective of both B12 and folate status was elevated early in life, reaching a nadir at age 2 and then increasing towards adulthood.

Conclusions: Continuous central 95th percentile RI for holotranscobalamin, homocysteine and red cell folate for children ages 30 days to <18 years were established. Each marker shows dynamic changes throughout childhood and adolescence which will assist clinicians in more appropriately assessing B12 and folate status in this population.

Misleading thyroid function tests in congenital dysfibrinogenemia. 先天性纤维蛋白原不良血症中的甲状腺功能检测误区。

The presence of latent fibrin clots is a recognised pre-analytical factor that causes inaccurate immunoassay results. This report details a case of a patient with Graves' disease and congenital dysfibrinogenemia (CD) that had serum thyroid function test results (TFTs) that were not in keeping with clinical signs or symptoms. Analysis of plasma samples taken from the patient was shown to provide more accurate results than those obtained using serum samples. Further cases of patients with CD, all sharing the same genetic mutation of fibrinogen, and discordant TFTs are described, where TFTs measurement in serum samples proved to be unreliable. Despite evidence of fibrin effecting immunoassays, this is the first report of its kind linking CD to erroneous immunoassay results. The mechanism is postulated to be related to atypical forms of fibrinogen resulting in latent fibrin in serum samples blocking the antigen binding site and leading to incorrect results. Congenital dysfibrinogenemia is asymptomatic in most patients and therefore abnormal, albeit inaccurate, TFTs may be the first finding.

潜伏纤维蛋白凝块的存在是公认的导致免疫测定结果不准确的分析前因素。本报告详细介绍了一例患有巴塞杜氏病和先天性纤维蛋白原血症(CD)的患者,其血清甲状腺功能检测(TFT)结果与临床体征或症状不符。对患者血浆样本的分析结果比血清样本更准确。报告还描述了其他 CD 患者的病例,这些患者都有相同的纤维蛋白原基因突变,但 TFT 却不一致,在这些病例中,血清样本中的 TFT 测量结果并不可靠。尽管有证据表明纤维蛋白会影响免疫测定,但这是第一份将 CD 与免疫测定结果错误联系起来的同类报告。据推测,其机制与纤维蛋白原的非典型形式有关,导致血清样本中的潜伏纤维蛋白阻塞抗原结合位点,从而导致错误结果。大多数患者无症状,因此 TFT 异常(尽管不准确)可能是首次发现。在解释 TFT 时,必须认识到 CD 是导致结果不一致的原因之一,以避免对患者进行不必要的检查和不适当的临床干预,并有可能发现未确诊的病例。

Background: Examining the distribution of biochemical and haematological tests in different age groups of rural population is necessary to ensure that health care facilities are equipped to address the prevalent health conditions and manage age-related illness effectively. Hence, this study is aimed at seeing the distributions of blood biochemical and haematological parameters in rural population.

Methods: This cross-sectional study investigated the distribution of 26 different haematological and biochemical parameters in longitudinal cohort study (Srinivaspura Aging, NeuoSenescence and COGnition - SANSCOG), from the villages of Srinivaspura, Kolar district, India. A total of 2592 participants (1240 males and 1352 females), aged ≥45 years who are cognitively healthy were included for the analysis. Mean, 2.5th, 5th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 95th and 97.5th percentiles were calculated for the entire sample. Additionally, median and percentiles were determined for both gender and age categories (45-54, 55-64, 65-74, and ≥75 years).

Results: We observed the distinct distributions of various haematological and biochemical parameters, with elevated levels of glycaemic, lipid, liver, and thyroid parameters.

Conclusion: Findings revealed the notable variations from the established reference ranges, indicating the potential undiagnosed cases and highlighting the gaps in health awareness and health seeking behaviour.

背景:为了确保医疗机构有能力应对普遍存在的健康问题,并有效管理与年龄有关的疾病,有必要对农村人口中不同年龄组的生化和血液检测分布情况进行研究。因此,本研究旨在了解农村人口血液生化指标和血液学指标的分布情况:这项横断面研究调查了印度科拉区斯利尼瓦斯普拉村庄的纵向队列研究(斯利尼瓦斯普拉老龄化、神经衰老和COGnition - SANSCOG)中 26 种不同血液和生化指标的分布情况。共有 2592 名年龄≥ 45 岁、认知健康的参与者(男性 1240 人,女性 1352 人)被纳入分析。计算了所有样本的平均值、2.5、5、25、50、75、95 和 97.5 百分位数。此外,还确定了性别和年龄类别(45-54 岁、55-64 岁、65-74 岁和≥75 岁)的中位数和百分位数:结果:我们观察到各种血液和生化参数的不同分布,血糖、血脂、肝脏和甲状腺参数水平升高:结论:研究结果显示了与既定参考范围之间的显著差异,表明了潜在的未确诊病例,并凸显了健康意识和就医行为方面的差距:生化参数 医疗保健 血液参数 印度 农村

Background: Healthcare laboratory systems produce and capture a vast array of information, yet do not always report all of this to the national infrastructure within the United Kingdom. The global COVID-19 pandemic brought about a much greater need for detailed healthcare data, one such instance being laboratory testing data. The reporting of qualitative laboratory test results (e.g. positive, negative or indeterminate) provides a basic understanding of levels of seropositivity. However, to better understand and interpret seropositivity, how it is determined and other factors that affect its calculation (i.e. levels of antibodies), quantitative laboratory test data are needed.

Method: 36 data attributes were collected from 3 NHS laboratories and 29 CO-CONNECT project partner organisations. These were assessed against the need for a minimum dataset to determine data attribute importance. An NHS laboratory feasibility study was undertaken to assess the minimum data standard, together with a literature review of national and international data standards and healthcare reports.

Results: A COVID serology minimum data standard (CSMDS) comprising 12 data attributes was created and verified by 3 NHS laboratories to allow national granular reporting of COVID serology results. To support this, a standardised set of vocabulary terms was developed to represent laboratory analyser systems and laboratory information management systems.

Conclusions: This paper puts forward a minimum viable standard for COVID-19 serology data attributes to enhance its granularity and augment the national reporting of COVID-19 serology laboratory results, with implications for future pandemics.

背景:医疗保健实验室系统产生并捕获了大量信息,但并不总能向英国国家基础设施报告所有这些信息。全球 COVID-19 大流行对详细的医疗保健数据提出了更高的要求,实验室检测数据就是其中之一。定性实验室检测结果(如阳性、阴性或不确定)的报告提供了对血清阳性水平的基本了解。然而,要更好地理解和解释血清阳性率、如何确定血清阳性率以及影响血清阳性率计算的其他因素(即抗体水平),就需要定量的实验室检测数据:从 3 个 NHS 实验室和 20 个 CO-CONNECT 项目合作机构收集了 36 种数据属性。根据对最低数据集的需求对这些数据进行了评估,以确定数据属性的重要性。为评估最低数据标准,对国家医疗服务系统实验室进行了可行性研究,并对国家和国际数据标准及医疗报告进行了文献综述:结果:由 12 个数据属性组成的 COVID 血清学最低数据标准 (CSMDS) 已由 3 个 NHS 实验室创建并验证,以便在全国范围内对 COVID 血清学结果进行细化报告。为支持该标准,还开发了一套标准化词汇,用于表示实验室分析仪系统和实验室信息管理系统:本文提出了 COVID-19 血清学数据属性的最低可行标准,以提高其粒度并加强 COVID-19 血清学实验室结果的全国性报告,这对未来的大流行病具有重要意义。

Immunoassays are widely used for laboratory assessment of endocrine functions including thyroid hormones. While usually adequate for patient evaluation, they are known to potentially suffer from interference from a variety of factors. We report the case of a 44 year-old male patient without clinical symptoms of thyroid disease who presented for specialist evaluation after pathological thyroid function tests prompted a transferal by his primary care practitioner. Thyroid function tests showed discrepant results across immunoassays and platforms of different manufacturers. Polyethylene glycol precipitation prompted the diagnosis of macro-thyroid-stimulating hormone, while heterophilic and non-specific antibody blocking reagents proved ineffective in eliminating the interference in thyroid-stimulating hormone, free triiodothyronine and free thyroxine measurements. Further assessment ruled out a diagnosis of familial dysalbuminemic hyperthyroxinemia, leaving an exclusion diagnosis of manufacturer-specific interference in free triiodothyronine and free thyroxine assays due to unknown factors. Both clinicians and laboratory specialists must be aware of potential interference in immunoassays which otherwise might be misleading, potentially triggering unnecessary (invasive) follow-up procedures or therapeutic interventions. Close communication is required for successful troubleshooting. To our knowledge, no other case of both macro-thyroid-stimulating hormone and manufacturer-specific interference in a single patient has been documented thus far.

免疫测定被广泛用于包括甲状腺激素在内的内分泌功能的实验室评估。虽然免疫测定通常足以对患者进行评估,但众所周知,免疫测定可能会受到各种因素的干扰。我们报告了一例 44 岁男性患者的病例,他没有甲状腺疾病的临床症状,在初级保健医生要求转院后,他接受了病理甲状腺功能检测,并接受了专科评估。甲状腺功能检测显示,不同厂家生产的免疫测定和平台得出的结果存在差异。聚乙二醇沉淀提示了大促甲状腺激素的诊断,而嗜异性和非特异性抗体阻断试剂无法有效消除促甲状腺激素、游离三碘甲状腺原氨酸和游离甲状腺素测量的干扰。进一步的评估排除了家族性白蛋白血症性高甲状腺素血症的诊断,剩下的排除诊断是游离三碘甲状腺原氨酸和游离甲状腺素测定中由于未知因素造成的制造商特异性干扰。临床医生和实验室专家都必须意识到免疫测定中的潜在干扰,否则可能会产生误导,引发不必要的(侵入性)后续程序或治疗干预。要想成功排除故障,就必须密切沟通。据我们所知,迄今为止,还没有其他病例在一名患者身上同时出现大促甲状腺激素和制造商特异性干扰的记录。
