Objective To study the clinical value of wrist magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combined anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody detection in the diagnosis of early rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods Forty five patients with early RA were selected as RA group,45 cases of patients without rheumatoid arthritis as non-RA group,and 43 cases of people with normal examination as control group.All subjects were given wrist MRI and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibody with the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).At the same time,clinical symptoms,physical signs,MRI manifestations,and laboratory indicators were collected.All results were statistically analyzed.Results Positive rate of MRI lesions and serum anti-CCP antibody in RA group were significantly higher than non-RA group and control group (P <0.05).The sensitivity and specificity of MRI (or anti-CCP antibody) for early RA were 88.88% and 82.22% (or 68.88% and 91.11%).The sensitivity (64.44%) of MRI combined with anti-CCP antibody was decreased compared to individual; however,the specificity (100%) of MRI combined with anti-CCP antibody was increased.The correlation of MRI synovial scores and anti-CCP antibody levels was positively correlated (rs =0.612,P < 0.05).MRI abnormal signs and joint disease activity score (DAS28) were positively correlated (rs =0.521,P < 0.05).Anti-CCP antibody levels and DAS28 were positively correlated (rs =0.541,P < 0.05).Conclusions MRI examination and combined with anti-CCP antibody detection is helpful to improve the diagnosis of early RA,and it provides a detection basis for dynamic assessment of RA condition changes.

Objective To investigate the correlation between subacromial space and acromial shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS).Methods The clinical and imaging data of 40 patients with SIS were collected and retrospectively reviewed.The shape of acromion and tears of rotator cuff of all patients were classified.A cromion-Humerus (A-H) distance was measured.Results Among 40 patients,there were 9 cases of type Ⅰ,12 cases of type Ⅱ,19 cases of type Ⅲ.32 patients had subacromial space narrowing.7 cases had calcification in the supraspinatus tendon and 10 patients had acromioclavicular joint ostcoarthritis.There were 17 cases of type Ⅰ,15 cases of type Ⅱ,18 cases of type Ⅲ of tears of rotator cuff.6 patients had subacromial bursa thickening,5 patients had subacromial-deltoid sac fluid and 10 patients had the joint capsule fluid.2 patients had jointlabrum avulsion,3 patients had the supraspinatus muscle atrophy and 4 patients had Bankart Lesion.There was no significant difference was found in A-H distance measured with X-ray and MRI(P =0.137 0).There was positive correlation between the A-H distance and class of rotator cuff(r =0.545,P =0.000 1).Conclusion There exists some correlation between subacromial space and SIS.The diagnosis and class of SIS can be assessed according to narrowing range of subacromial space.

Objective To establish the main points of clinical trials of HIV detection reagents,including the study methods,clinical trial scheme setup,sample selection and statistical analysis of results.Methods Human Immunodeficiency Virus detection reagents including both quantitive and quanlitive detecting of HIV related biomarkers in human serum,plasma and other body fluid based on the immunological or molecular biological technique.Considering both the active regulations of IVD and the HIV detection reagent's own characteristics,the characteristics of clinical trials of the HIV detection reagents were described in detail.Results Significant problems have been settled in clinical trials of HIV detection reagents.Statistical analysis method should be used in the interpretation of clinical trial results.Conclusion Clinical trials of HIV detection reagents should be carried out scientifically and focus on the accuracy and specificity based on the clinical use.
