Objective To evaluate clinical significance of two real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR kits for quantitative detection of HBV DNA and detection performance at different viral load levels.Methods A series of calibrators with different concentrations(1×106,5×105,1×105,5×104,1×104,5×103,1×103,5×102,1×102,1×101 kIU/L) were prepared with AB-type sera using the second generation WHO international standard (NIBSC code:97/750). HBV viral load in the sera of 78 patients,30 healthy blood donors and 10 calibrators were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR HBV DNA test kit from PIJI Bio-Technical Development Company Ltd (PG kit) and Cobas AmpliPrep/Cobas TaqMan HBV test kit. The correlation of the two methods was evaluated, and the performance of the two kits different viral load levels was evaluated. The false negative rate was analyzed. Negative control, low positive control and high positive control were included in every batch. Results Both two kits showed the correct results for the 10 specimens from the WHO international standards. The lowest detection limit of HBV DNA for Roche Cobas AmpliPrep/Cobas TaqMan HBV test and PG kit were 2.00 (kIU/L, lg) and 3.00 (kIU/L,lg) ,respectively. There was linear correlation between the results from Roche Cobas AmpliPrep/Cobas TaqMan HBV test and PG kit ( R2=0.938 7, P < 0.01 ), the upper limit of Roche kit had coincided with theoretical value. The samples with HBV DNA level above the upper limit of detection were diluted and retested to obtain the precise result. The result form Roche Cobas AmpliPrep/Cabas TaqMan HBV test [(8.35±0.20) kIU/L, lg] was higher than that from PG kit [(7.73±0.42 ) kIU/L, lg] (t=3. 776, P <0.05) . The detection of 108 serum samples showed that the level of HBV DNA detected by Roche Cobas AmpliPrep/Cobas TaqMan HBV test [(5.88±1.64) kIU/L, lg] was higher than that by PG kit [(5.25±1.55 kIU/L,lg] (t=12. 297 ,P <0.01 ). The correlation coefficients were high in samples with high HBV viral load[HBV DNA(>5.00 and≤7.00) kIU/L,Ig,R2=0. 779 7, P <0.01 ;HBV DNA( >7.00 ands≤9.00) kIU/L,lg,R2=0.603 7, P <0.01]. The correlation coefficient was low in samples with low HBV viral load[HBV DNA ( > 3.00 and≤5.00) kIU/L, lg, R2=0. 417 3, P <0.01 )]. When HBV DNA ( >3.00 and≤4.00) kIU/L,lg,the false negative rate was 33.3% (5/15). When HBV DNA ( > 1.08and≤3.00) kIU/L,lg,none of positive samples was detected with PG kit. Conclusions PG kit is not as good as Cobas AmpliPrep/Cobas TaqMan HBV test . The linear correlation between the results from the two kits is good. The correlation between the results detected with PG kit and Cobas AmpliPrep/Cobas TaqMan HBV test is higher in the high viral load groups than in the low viral load group. It is suggested that PG kit had a narrower linear range.

Objective To analyze the prognosis and risk factors for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody?associated vasculitis (AAV) patients on maintaining dialysis. Methods AAV patients on maintaining peritoneal dialysis (PD) or hemodialysis (HD) in First Affiliated Hospital Zhejiang University from June 2007 to June 2015 were included, and were followed up until death, kidney transplant, changed dialysis modalities or January 31, 2016. Patients were divided into PD group and HD group for comparison. Their survival rates and risk factors were analyzed by Kaplan?Meier analysis and COX regression model respectively. Results A total of 123 cases were chosen, with a median duration of dialysis for 854 (388, 1573) days, and with 88 cases (71.5%) on HD and 35 cases (28.5%) on PD. Fifty?two patients (42.3%) were more than 65 years old. At the median follow?up time of 36 months, 39 patients (31.7%) died. The main causes of death were cardiovascular events (30.8%) and infection (23.1%). COX regression analysis showed that patients older than 65 years old (HR=3.289, P=0.001), with cardiovascular disease (HR=3.241, P=0.003) and interstitial pneumonia (HR=2.173, P=0.048) at the dialysis onset were independent risk factors affecting survival. Conclusions Factors including age (older than 65 years), pre?dialysis cardiovascular disease and interstitial pneumonia were independent risk factors affecting survival of AAV patients on maintaining dialysis, then infections and cardiovascular events were the main causes of death.
8.Progress of immunotherapy-based strategy in triple-negative breast cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2023;50(11):672-676
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents a distinct subtype of breast cancer, characterized by unique clinical traits including early lung metastasis, elevated recurrence rates, and diminished survival prospects. Owing to the lack of estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 expression, concrete therapeutic targets remain elusive, thereby confining available clinical treatment methods. In the context of advanced TNBC, chemotherapy remains the predominant therapeutic approach. In recent years, with the in-depth study of tumor microenvironment, new immunotherapy targets have been discovered one after another. Thus, immunotherapy-based combined therapy strategies have brought new hope in patients with advanced TNBC.

Objective To discuss whether preoperative extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) could improve the efficacy of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for complicated renal calculi. Methods 160 cases of complicated renal calculi patients were divided into observation group (80) and control group (80) at random. Take conventional PCNL treatment for control group, and ESWL treatment one day before conventional PCNL treatment for observation group. Record the operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative calculi clearance rate, complications, treatment costs, hospital stays of two groups of patients, then compare the curative effects between the two groups. Results Results are very different in the two groups, and the therapeutic effect of observation group is much better than control group (P < 0.05). Conclusions For complicated renal calculi, compared with conventional PCNL, in reducing the residual stone rate shorting the operation time, reducing the operation number, complications, treatment costs and the length of hospital stay, PCNL preoperative ESWL have obvious advantages. It is a kind of both economic and safe and effective treatment method.
