ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical application value of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and time-resolved fluorescence analysis(TRFIA) and latex immune chromatography (GICA) in detecting hepatitis B serum markers.MethodsOne hundred and forty-five suspected patients of hepatitis B were detected serum markers of hepatitis B by ELISA,TRFIA and GICA method,and the results were compared and analyzed.ResultsWhen TRFIA method was as gold standard,the positive coincidence rate of ELISA and GICA method in HBsAg,HBeAb,HBcAb was 71% (57/80),45% (36/80),and in HBsAb,HBeAb,HBcAb was 33%( 1/3),0 (0/3),and there were significant differences between two methods (P<0.05 ) ; the others were no significant differences (P > 0.05 ).There was significant difference in the sensitivity of HBsAg between ELISA method and GICA method (P < 0.05 ),but there was no significant difference in HBsAb,HBeAg,HBeAb,HBcAb(P > 0.05 ).There was no significant difference in the specificity of HBsAg,HBsAb,HBsAg,HBeAb and HBcAb between ELISA method and GICA method (P >0.05).There was significant difference in HBsAg among three methods(P <0.05),but there was no significant difference between ELISA method and TRFIA method (P>0.05),and there was significant difference between GICA method and TRFIA method (P<0.05).There was no significant difference in HBsAb,HBeAg,HBeAb and HBcAb among three methods (P > 0.05 ); there was significant difference in both HBsAb and HBeAb positive among three methods (P < 0.05),and there was significant difference between ELISA method,GICA method and TRFIA method (P< 0.05).ConclusionTRFIA method has supreme measuring range,sensitivity and specificity supreme,but the price is higher;ELISA method is in the intermediate level of three methods and price is cheap,and it as well as TRFIA is suitable for the batch detection; GICA accuracy is low,but quick and simple,it is more suitable for the complement of the first two methods.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the most common complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). Qianjin Wenwu decoction (QWD), a well-known traditional Korean medicine, has been used for the treatment of DKD, with satisfactory therapeutic effects. This study was designed to investigate the active components and mechanisms of action of QWD in the treatment of DKD. The results demonstrated that a total of 13 active components in five types were found in QWD, including flavonoids, flavonoid glycosides, phenylpropionic acids, saponins, coumarins, and lignins. Two key proteins, TGF-β1 and TIMP-1, were identified as the target proteins through molecular docking. Furthermore, QWD significantly suppressed Scr and BUN levels which increased after unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). Hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) and Masson staining results demonstrated that QWD significantly alleviated renal interstitial fibrosis in UUO mice. We also found that QWD promoted ECM degradation by regulating MMP-9/TIMP-1 homeostasis to improve renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis and interfere with the expression and activity of TGF- β1 in DKD treatment. These findings explain the underlying mechanism of QWD for the treatment of DKD, and also provide methodological reference for investigating the mechanism of traditional medicine in the treatment of DKD.
