Objective To consecutively investigate the quality of auto-antibody testing of the whole country and to improve quality.Methods A nation-wide investigation was carried out and hospitals or departments participating were notified by letter or telephone communication.Autoantibodies tested for quality control survey included anti-nuclear antibody (anti-ANA),anti-double-stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA)antibody,anti-extractable nuclear antigens (anti-ENA) antibody,anti-mitochondria antibody (AMA),anti-smooth muscle antibody (ASMA) and anti-citrulline antibody (anti-CCP).There were 15 samples in total for testing,including 3 control samples for each test.Same sample was used for both AMA and ASMA test.Sample distribution and data analysis were carried out double-blindly.A total of 114 hospitals or departments participated in the survey.Multiple testing methods were adopted including indirect immumo-fluo-rescence (IIF),immuno-blot (IB),dot-blot (DB),double immuno-diffusion (DID),enzyme linked immuno-sorbent assay (ELISA),chemiluminescent assay,dot-immunogold filtration assay.Results The accurate rates for this survey were 98％,96.6％,89.5％,98.1％,92.1％,96.4％ respectively for ANA,anti-dsDNA,anti-ENA,AMA,ASMA and anti-CCP.Anti-ENAs were further divided into anti-RNP,anti-Sm,anti-SSA,anti-SSB and anti-Scl-70 subgroups,and the accurate rates were 88.4％,96.8％,100％,100％ and 95.8％,respectively.Titers of ANA varied greatly among different labs,so did quantitative analysis of anti-CCP,AMA and antidsDNA by ELISA.However,the accuracy of ANA types determined by IIF was greatly improved.Detection rate of AMA and AMSAwas still low.Conclusion Among detected antibodies,ANA,anti-dsDNA and antiCCP are the most prominently improved.Accurate rate of anti-ENA antibody is slightly increased.

Objective To investigate the current national situation of autoantibody test in order to improve the quality of autoantibodies test.Methods Hospitals or departments in the whole country participated voluntarily or on invitation.Fifteen samples in total were distributed double-blindly,and autoantibodies including anti-nuclear antibody (ANA),anti-double-stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA) antibody,anti-extractable nuclear antigens (anti-ENA),anti-citrulline antibody (anti-CCP),anti-mitochondria antibody (AMA) and anti-smooth muscle antibody (ASMA) were tested in 6 samples.The samples were used for AMA and ASMA tests.Results A total of 148 hospitals or departments participated and multiple testing methods were adopted.The accurate rate of ANA(97.3％),AMA (96.1％),ASMA (92.1％) and anti-CCP (97.4％) were higher than that of anti-dsDNA (81.9％) and anti-ENA (77.2％).Anti-RNP and anti-Scl70 in anti-ENAs had the lower accurate rate,90.9％ and 80.3％ respectively.Taking data of the past 10 years together,the accuracy of antiSSA,anti-SSB,anti-Sm had been stable since 2009,while that of anti-RNP and anti-Scl70 decreased slightly.For methodology,indirect immunofluorescence was mainly adopted in the testing of ANA,anti-dsDNA,AMA and ASMA,immunoblotting was mainly adopted in anti-ENA detection and enzyme linked immunosorbent serologic assay was used for anti-CCP test.Conclusion No major variation of primary testing method is found in recent 10 years.Although diverged greatly among different methods,the accuracy of antibody detection has improved year by year.

Objective To investigate the type 2 diabetic patients with glomerular filtration rate and urinary albumin value as renal finction evaluation.Methods A total of 1217 patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy from August 1,2010 to June 31,2012 were selected.Evaluated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated according to the currently recommended simplified modification of diet in renal disease study (MDRD) formula.According to the K/DOQI guidelines for chronic kidney disease,patients were divided into three groups:group A [eGFR ≥90 ml/ (min ·1.73 m2)] of 891 cases,group B [60 ml/(min· 1.73 m2) ≤eGFR ＜ 90 ml/(min· 1.73 m2)] of 256 cases,group C[eGFR ＜ 60 ml/(min· 1.73 m2)]of 70 cases,respectively.Eight-hour urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) was compared between and among the groups; according to 8-hour UAER,patients were divided into three groups:group a (8-hour UAER ＜20 μg/min) of 946 cases,group b (20 μg/min≤8-hour UAER ＜200 μg/min) of 193 cases,group c(8-hour UAER ≥ 200 μ g/min) of 78 cases.eGFR was calculated and compared between and among the groups.Results Eight-hour UAER was (32.71 + 79.62),(57.56 + 130.59),(107.50 + 222.64) μ g/min in group A,B,C,and the difference among three groups was statistically significant (P＜0.05).eGFR was (110.78 ±32.75),(108.26 ±45.78),(94.96 ±32.30) ml/ (min ·1.73 m2) in group a,b,c,and the difference between group a and group c,or between group b and group c was statistically significant (P ＜0.05),but the difference between group a and group b was not statistically significant (P ＞0.05).Conclusion When evaluating the function of type 2 diabetic nephropathy,two indicators should be considered:glomerular filtration rate and urinary albumin.

Objective To study the relationship between urinary albumin excretion rate(UAER)and cardiac structure and function in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods Five hundred and twenty patients with T2DM were divided into three groups by 8 h UAER:normoalbuminuria group(424 cases),microalbuminuria group(75 cases)and macroalbuminuria group(21 cases).At the same time,50 healthy people were selected as control group.The cardiac structure and function in four groups were evaluated by echocardiographic measurements.Results Left atrial dimensio[(34.39±3.46)mm],left ventricular posterior wall thickness[(10.34±1.05)mm],relative wall thickness(0.46±0.05),interventricular septal thickness[(10.49±1.07)mm],left ventricular mass[(167.37±32.12)g],left ventricular mass index[(87.62±12.16)g/m2]in macroalbuminuria group were significantly higher than those in control group[(32.59±2.71)mm,(9.30±0.77)mm,0.42±0.04,(9.75±0.81)mm,(147.33±27.23)g,(80.14±13.81)g/m2](P＜0.05),mean while the ratio of E/A(0.82±0.19)in macroalbuminuria group was significantly lower than that in control group(1.21±0.16)(P＜0.05).Conclusions In T2DM patients with albuminuria,the cardiac structure and function have changed.With the increase of UAER,the impairments are more prominent.And it may predict diabetes cardiomyopathy.

Objective To analyze the clinical features of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) com-plicated by noncirrhotic portal hypertention (NCPH),and improve the recognition of NCPH.Methods Clinical data from SLE complicated by NCPH in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed and summarized,while the related literatures were reviewed.Results Four patients diagnosed as SLE complicated by NCPH were all women.NCPH presented with the clinical features of portal hypertension with normal or slightly elevated transaminase.Anticardiolipin (ACL) antibodies were positive in 2 patients.Two patients underwent liver needle biopsy,showing nodular regenerative hyperplasia,of which,one with liver portal fibrosis.The treatment strategy was managing the primary disorder and controling of portal hypertention in four patients.Twenty-two cases of SLE complicated by NCPH were reviewed and analyzed,including 18 cases from related literatures and our 4 cases.Among the 22 cases,the mean time between the diagnosis of SLE and NCPH was eight years,of which one patient with NCPH before SLE,one diagnosed at the same time and the rest with NCPH after SLE.19％ (4/21) of patients presented with Raynaud's phenomenon and 18％ (4/22) complicated by pulmonary hypertension.In serological tests,patients presented with positive ACL anti-bodies [33％(7/21)] and anti-dsDNA [48％(10/21)],as well as increased IgG and γ-Globulin [38％(8/21)].Liver needle biopsy showed nodular regenerative hyperplasia or liver portal fibrosis with the prevalence of 80％ (16/20) and 25％ (5/20),respectively.Conclusion SLE complicated by NCPH is very rare clinically and is easily being misdiagnosed without obvious symptoms and signs in the early stage.Positive ACL antibodies and Raynaud's phenomenon maybe be closely related to SLE complicated by NCPH.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the severity of diabetic retinopathy and serum bilirubin level. Methods From August 1 2008 to December 31 2009, hospitalized patients of 1062 cases with type 2 diabetes were divided into three groups according to fundus examination: no diabetic retinopathy (NDR) group (457 cases), non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) group (484 cases)and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) group ( 121 cases). The difference in serum bilirubin level was compared. Results Total bilirubin in PDR, NPDR and NDR group were (9.96 ± 3.84), ( 11.41 ± 3.82),( 13.38 ± 3.98) μ mol/L respectively. There was significant difference among three groups (P ＜ 0.01 ). Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that a drop in serum total bilirubin level was an independent risk factor of diabetic retinopathy. Conclusions Bilirubin level and the severity of diabetic retinopathy have some relationship. The antioxidant bilirubin and anti-inflammatory effect should be paid attention to.

Objective To investigate the application of colostomy care products in managing the leakage around PTCD drainage tube, and to discuss its clinical effect. Methods A total of 56 patients with malignant obstructive jaundice, who had received PTCD and suffered from postoperative leakage around PTCD drainage tube, were randomly and equally divided into the study group (n=28) and the control group (n=28). The colostomy care powder, the skin protective film and the colostomy bag were used for the patients of the study group, while iodophors, sterile gauze and mupirocin ointment were employed for the patients of the control group. The incidence of irritant dermatitis around PTCD drainage tube, the degree of comfort to the indwelling tube judged by the patient, and the nursing workload for PTCD drainage tube were determined, and the results were compared between the two groups. Results The incidence of irritant dermatitis around PTCD drainage tube in the study group was obviously lower than that in the control group. And the degree of comfort to the indwelling tube judged by the patient in the study group was much higher than that in the control group. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Combination use of colostomy care powder, skin protective film and colostomy bag can effectively reduce the incidence of irritant dermatitis around PTCD drainage tube and improve the patient’s condition. Therefore, this method is worthy of popularization in clinical practice.

Objective To analyze the causes of death and prognostic indicators of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods A retrospective investigation was performed on 91 RA patients who were admitted into our hospital from 1990 to 2011.The clinical features and laboratory data were studied to assess the causes of death and the relationship between causes of death and disease activity and treatment.T test and x2 test were used for statistical analysis.Prognostic indicators of mortality were studied by Cox propor-tional hazards models.The prognostic indicators of RA were also analyzed.Results The three most common causes of death in patients with RA were infection (57％),cardiac-cerebral vascular diseases (13％) and cancer (12％).Severe disease activity and presence of extra-articular manifestations were more common among the patients who died.Seventy-five percent patients presented with systemic symptoms including fever,fatigue and weight loss,followed by pulmonary fibrosis (32％) and pleural effusion (27％).Cox regression analysis revealed that the presence of extra-articular features was independent risk determinant for mortality while DMARDs treatment was the independent protect determinant.Conclusion Infection,cardiac-cerebral vascular diseases and cancer are the main causes of death in RA.The presence of extra-articular features is the independent risk factor of RA.
