Objective:To prepare and screen monoclonal antibodies against Herpes simplex virus-1(HSV-1),and develop a double antibody sandwich quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay( Q-ELISA) for detection of HSV-1 particle. This method was used to control the quality of viral particle in the developing and manufacturing process of HSV-1. Methods: BALB/c mice was immunized with HSV-1 to prepare monoclonal antibodies. A double antibody sandwich Q-ELISA was developed to determine concentration of HSV-1 particle,which was based on the neutralizing monoclonal antibody 1F6 as capture antibody,and 2B1 as HRP-conjugated antibody. The performance of the reagent was evaluated,including specificity,sensitivity,precision,accuracy and linear. And the relation between the amount of virus detected by this method and the virus titer was analyzed by regression analysis method. Results: The Q-ELISA for HSV-1 particle was developed. The quantitation scope was 0. 125-2 μg/ml, the coefficient correlation was 0. 995 5, the limit of detection was 0. 125 μg/ml, the recovery was between 85. 6% and 107. 1%, the variation coefficient was lower than 10%, and the reagent does not react with other samples except HSV-1 antigen. This method has a good correlation with virus titer. Conclusion:The Q-ELISA for HSV-1 particle was successfully developed,which provide a new approach for rapid and quantitative detection of HSV-1 antigen.

Objective:To analyze the risk of missed diagnosis in patients with PI-RADS score>3 and negative prostate initial biopsy and to explore its risk factors.Methods:The clinical data of 268 patients with negative prostate biopsy in Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital from May 2013 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into observation group (PI-RADS score>3) and control group (PI-RADS score≤ 3) according to different PI-RADS scores. There were insignificant differences in age [(67.4(60.0, 74.0)years and 65.6(66.5, 72.0)years], prostate volume of initial biopsy [62.4(40.0, 72.0)ml and 60.8(38.0, 77.0)ml], biopsy cores [ 20.6(18.0, 22.0)cores and 20.4(18.0, 22.0)cores] between the observation group (n=124) and the control group(n=144)(all P>0.05). But there were significant differences in PSA [17.5(6.5, 23.0)ng/ml and 11.5(6.3, 12.0)ng/ml], PSAD[0.316(0.128, 0.363)ng/ml 2 and 0.211(0.106, 0.256)ng/ml 2], prostate inflammation of the initial biopsy [70 (56.5%) and 32 (22.2%)] between the observation group and the control group(all P<0.05). According to the follow-up results after the initial biopsy, the two groups of repeated biopsy were compared.Furthermore, Logistic regression was used to conduct univariate and multivariate analysis to explore the risk factors of patients with PI-RADS>3 for positive repeated biopsy. At the same time, the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) was used to analyze the accuracy of the risk factors. Results:There were significant differences in repeated biopsy rate [ 27.4%(34/124)and 14.6%(21/144)], CsPCa detection rate[ 41.4%(14/34) and 4.8%(1/21)]between the observation group and the control group(all P<0.05). The positive rate of repeated biopsy in the observation group (41.1%) was higher than that in the control group (23.8%), but there was no statistical difference ( P=0.248). The risk of positive repeated biopsies in the observation group was 2.24 times than that in the control group. Univariate analysis found repeated biopsy PSA ( P =0.02, OR=1.438, 95% CI 1.161-1.896), PSA ratio (repeated biopsy PSA/initial biopsy PSA) ( P=0.011, OR=10.087, 95% CI 1.714-59.36) were risk factors for positive of repeated biopsy in patients with PI-RADS score >3. Multivariate analysis also found that repeated biopsy PSA ( P=0.017, OR=1.15, 95% CI 1.076-2.123), PSA ratio ( P=0.032, OR=10.2, 95% CI 0.883-116.168) were risk factors for positive repeated biopsy. ROC curve analysis, the accuracy of repeated biopsy PSA (AUC=0.971, P<0.001, 95% CI 0.926-1.000), PSA ratio (AUC=0.839, P=0.001, 95% CI0.707-0.971) to predict positive of repeated biopsy were high. The cut-off values were 21.3 ng/ml and 1.4, respectively. The accuracy was higher when combines repeated biopsy PSA with PSA ratio (AUC=0.993, P<0.001, 95% CI 0.974-1.000). Conclusions:Patients with negative PI-RADS score > 3 have a higher risk of missed diagnosis of CsPCa than those with PI-RADS score≤3. When PSA>21.3 ng/ml and PSA ratio>1.4 during follow-up, the possibility of missed diagnosis in the initial biopsy is high.

OBJECTIVE: To study the correlation between dosage and curative effect of blood coagulation factor VIII in the prevention and treatment of haemophilia A in children and to determine the suitable dose for prevention of hemophilia in developing countries. METHODS: For different body weights of child patient, every time we used the same dosage of blood coagulation factor VIII (250 U each time, 3 times a week) and observed and recorded the number of hemorrhages in child patients. Then we compared the number of hemorrhages with children without treatment to determine the curative effect. According to the different body weights, we calculated the dosage of VIII factor of blood coagulation per kilogram (hereinafter referred to as the dose), and used Spearman correlation coefficient to study the correlation between dose and curative effect. RESULTS: The number of hemorrhages in 58 child patients before the treatment was 4.36 ± 1.78, while after the treatment was 2.22 ± 1.04 (t=7.91, P<0.001). The Spearman correlation coefficient of child patients of 5-10 U/kg was -0.421 (P=0.005); the Spearman correlation coefficient of child patients of 10-15 U/kg was -0.331 (P=0.030); the Spearman correlation coefficient of child patients over 15 U/kg was -0.16 (P=0.325). CONCLUSION Prevention and treatment can significantly reduce the times of hemorrhage in hemophilia patients.

Objective: To investigate the clinical value of modified transperineal template-guided prostate biopsy (mTTPB) in the detection of prostate cancer. Methods: A total of 217 patients were enrolled in this study. All the patients were randomly divided into 2 groups. The control group (n=112) underwent transperineal template-guided prostate biopsy (TTPB) which was traditional transperineal template-guided 11-region biopsy. On the basis of the control group, the apex of prostate was divided into four areas for biopsy in the observation group (mTTPB). The positive rate of apex and the incidence of complications were analyzed. The prostatic specimens from the radical prostatectomy underwent whole mount sections examination. The prostate biopsy results were compared with the postoperative pathological results. Results: The average age of the control group and the observation group were (68.5±7.9) years and (67.3±8.5) years, PSA were (31.2±18.9) ng/ml and (29.7±19.5) ng/ml, prostate volume were (44.6±15.2) ml and (41.3±17.3) ml, respectively. In the control group, the positive rates of prostate cancer in 1-10 region were 24.1% (27/112), 27.7%(31/112), 23.2% (26/112), 28.6% (32/112), 26.8% (30/112), 25.0% (28/112), 26.8% (30/112), 19.6% (22/112), 25.9% (29/112), 25.0% (28/112), respectively, with an average of 25.3%. In the observation group, the positive rates in 1-10 region were 27.6% (29/105), 28.6% (30/105), 22.9% (24/105), 26.7% (28/105), 25.7% (27/105), 24.8% (26/105), 27.6% (29/105), 21.9% (23/105), 27.6% (29/105), 26.7% (28/105), respectively, with an average of 26.0%. There was no statistical difference between the two groups (P=0.904). The positive rate of apical prostate cancer in the control group and observation group was 37.5% (42/112) and 44.8% (47/105), respectively, and there was no statistical difference between the two groups (P=0.277). Patients were grouped according to PSA>20 ng/ml and PSA≤20 ng/ml. When PSA>20 ng/ml, the positive rate of apex was 58.6% (34/58) and 56.6% (30/53) respectively in the control group and the observation group, and there was no statistical difference between the two groups (P=0.830). When PSA≤20 ng/ml, the positive rate of apex was 14.8% (8/54) in the control group and 32.7% (17/52) in the observation group, with statistically significant differences (P=0.030). Before radical prostatectomy, 12 cases (57.1%) in the control group and 19 cases (73.1%) in the observation group showed apical invasion by biopsy. Results of whole mount sections examination in the control group showed that there were 19 cases (90.5%) with apical invasion, which was statistically different from that before surgery (P=0.035). The results of whole mount sections examination in the observation group showed that there were 23 cases (88.5%) with apex invasion, which had no statistical difference compared with that before surgery (P=0.291). There were no significant differences in the incidence of hematuria, fever, urinary retention and perineal discomfort between the observation group and the control group (all P>0.05). Conclusions mTTPB can significantly improve the detection rate of apical prostate cancer without increasing the incidence of complications, especially for patients with PSA≤20 ng/ml. Hence is safe and efficacious.
