Objective To investigate the clinical significance and relationship among Pre-S2、6 common types of HBV serum immune markers(HBV-M)and HBV-DNA.Methods Using PCR to detect HBV DNA and ELISA technique to detect Pre-S2,6 kinds of HBV-M in the meantime.Results Positive infection rates of HBV DNA in 6 common types of the 1484 cases were 89.8%>55.6%>21.8%>7.5%>7.1%>6.8% respectively,namely the model (1)>(3)>(2)>(5)>(6)>(4);but the positive cases of HBV serum immune markers were in the order (2)>(1)>(3)>(4)>(5)>(6).The positive rates were significant difference between Pre-S2 and HBV DNA in (2)、(3) types (P<0.01) and no significant difference in other types(P>0.05).Conclusion It is necessary to detect Pre-S2,HBV DNA and HBVserum immune markers,but HBV serum immune makers and Pre-S2 detected by ELISA only external indication and indirect evidence of HBV infection.While the detection of HBV DNA by PCR was direct evidence of HBV infection.Therefore they have their unique clinicl significance.

ObjectiveTo investigate the significance of cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) S-100B protein and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels in the pathogenesis of brain injury of viral encephalitis.MethodsForty-two patients with viral encephalitis (viral encephalitis group) and 40 patients with other disease at the corresponding time period(control group) were involved in this study.CSF (routine,biochemistry and cytology) was detected,and the levels of S-100B protein and VEGF in CSF were detected by ABC-ELISA method.ResultsWhite blood cell count was (0-584) × 106/L in viral encephalitis group,and (0-200) × 106/L in control group.The levels of protein and glucose in CSF had no significant difference between two groups (P> 0.05),and the level of chloride in CSF in viral encephalitis group was significantly lower than that in control group[ ( 110.10 ± 31.22 ) mmol/L vs.( 123.80 ± 6.32 ) mmol/L ] (P =0.006).In viral encephalitis group,cytological examination showed that mixed type cytological reaction was in 6 cases (14.3%,6/42).The level of S-100B protein in viral encephalitis group [25.04-47.97 (28.37 ± 6.09) ng/L] was significantly higher than that in control group[ 25.04-29.64(26.03 ± 0.90) ng/L ] (t =2.462,P =0.018).The level of VEGF in viral encephalitis group[88.84~143.77(96.24 ± 13.38) ng/L] was significantly higher than that in control group [89.15~96.18 (90.67 ± 1.71 ) ng/L] (t =2.673,P =0.011 ).ConclusionsThe high levels of S-100B protein and VEGF in CSF could support the viral encephalitis diagnosis.Tracking the levels of S-100B protein and VEGF in CSF dynamically have noticeable effect on checking the condition of viral encephalitis patients.
