Objective To compare the detecting results of rotavirus (RV)and adenovirus (AdV)antigens using auto stool pretreatment system (machine method)and manual method.Methods A total of 100 stools collectecd from diarrear patients admitted in gastroenterology outpatient department from September 2014 to Octorber 2014 in Peking University Medical College Hospital were detected to identify RV and AdV antigens using machine method and manual method respectively,and the nucletic acids of positive samples were detected by liquid chip method to verify the results.Results The RV,AdV and co-infection antigen positive detection rate using machine method were 17.0% (17/100),25.0% (25/100)and 12.0% (12/100)respectively,whereas those using the manual method were 4.0% (4/100),13.0% (13/100)and 2.0% (2/100),re-spectively.Taking the nucletic acids detection as the golden method,the false positive detection rate of RV,AdV and co-in-fection antigen using machine method were 23.5% (4/17),20.0% (5/25)and 33.3% (4/12)respectively,whereas those u-sing the manual method were 75.0% (3/4),69.2% (9/13)and 50.0% (1/2),respectively.χ2 test for paired data for RV and AdV positive detection rate,false positive detection rate of RV and false positive detection rate of AdV using two meth-ods were statistically significant (χ2 =15.0,52.8 and 47.5,P values <0.05).Two methods for detecting RV and AdV had poor consistency (Kappa value was 0.25,Kappa values <0.4).Conclusion Machine method has much more advantage on RV and AdV positive detection rate and false positive detection rate than manual method,which is good for clinical applica-tion.

Objective To study the influence of seminal plasma reactive oxygen species(ROS),cell factors and sperm quality in infertile male with Uu infection and explore its action mechanism in male infertility.Methods Chose 83 cases of male in-fertility with Uu infection as the experimental group (Uu+ infertility group),30 cases of male infertility without Uu infec-tion (Uu- infertility group)and 30 normal men with children as a control (Normal fertility group).Respectively,determi-nate the levels of seminal plasma malondialdehyde (MDA),superoxide dismutase (SOD),IL-6,IL-10,IL-18 and TNF-α,and analyzed its correlation.Results In Uu+ infertility group,the levels of MDA (19.56±5.22 nmol/ml),IL-6 (58.31±8.94 pg/ml),IL-18 (38.16±17.02 pg/ml)and TNF-α(42.68±11.18 pg/ml)were obviously higher than those in the other two groups (t=4.35~20.43,P value<0.001),and the level of IL-10 (8.62±2.98 pg/ml)and SOD (95.36±20.03 μmol/L) was lower than those in the other two groups (t=3.67~23.74,P value<0.001).Correlation analysis found that MDA of Uu+ infertility group was positively correlated with TNF-α,IL-18 (r=0.61,0.55,P value<0.001),and negatively correla-ted with SOD and IL-10 (r=-0.55,-0.53,P value<0.001).Conclusion The results suggested that Uu infection caused the level of reactive oxidative increasing,cytokines counterbalance disorder and affected sperm quality.So it is of great signif-icance for the treatment to test the levels of ROS and cytokines in patients with male sterility.

Objective To establish a method for simultaneously measuring L-citrulline and L-arginine concentration in plasma using reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC)with ultraviolet detection,and the novel method is applied to the patients with digestive system tumor.Methods Plasma samples were deproteinized by trichloroacetic acid with heating method.Phenylisothiocyanate (PITC)was used as derivatization reagent and a gradient elution was adopted. The feasibility verification of method was carried out by detecting plasma L-citrulline and L-arginine acid concentration in 21 cases of advanced digestive tract malignant tumor patients,21 cases of non malignant tumor patients and 39 cases of healthy people.Results The linearity for L-citrulline and L-arginine ranged from 0 to at least 1 000 μmol/L.r=0.999 95 for both. The lower limits of quantification for L-citrulline and L-arginine were 0.240 μmol/L and 0.448 μmol/L respectively.The in-traday and interday coefficients of variation (CVs)were less than 3.4% and 7.2%,respectively.The average recovery rate was from 95.2% to 104.1%.The ratio of plasma L-citrulline/L-arginine in patients with digestive cancar was significantly higher than that in the healthy control group,t-test,P =0.009.The sensitivity and specificity of plasma L-citrulline/L-argi-nine ratio in the malignant tumor of digestive system were 81% and 71.4% respectively.Conclusion This method can pro-vide a reliable and efficient method for the clinical determination of the L-citrulline and L-arginine concentration in plasma. The ratio of plasma citrulline/arginine increased obviously in patients with digestive cancer,suggesting that this ratio is a more sensitive index than single concentration of L-citrulline or L-arginine when evaluating patients with digestive tumor.

Objective To establish an ELISA for detecting antibody against Aspergillus fumigatus pectate lyase A(anti-PlyA),and evaluate its diagnostic value for invasive aspergillosis (IA).Methods An indirect ELISA for IgG antibody a-gainst PlyA was established using PlyA as coating antigen.The serum from 97 IA patients,80 non-IA patients and 200 healthy donors were tested,the results were compared with anti-DPPV (antibody against Aspergillus fumigatus dipeptidyl peptidase V fragment)and anti-TR (antibody against Aspergillus fumigatus thioredoxin reductase).Results The intra-as-say coefficients of variation of the ELISA method for detecting anti-PlyA was 5.3%,and inter-assay coefficients of variation was 10.9%.The sensitivity and specificity of diagnosis of IA were 62.9% and 90.4%,respectively.The positive rates of an-ti-PlyA in non-neutropenic and neutropenic IA patients were 43.8% and 72.3%,respectively (χ2 =7.493,P <0.05).There was no significant difference between the positive rates of anti-PlyA (62.9%),anti-TR (60.8%),and anti-DPPV (67.0%) (χ2 =0.562,P > 0.05).When combined anti-PlyA,anti-TR,and anti-DPPV,the diagnostic sensitivity for IA patients in-creased to 92.8%.Conclusion An ELISA for detecting anti-PlyA was successfully established.The diagnostic value of these three kinds of antibody was superior in non-neutropenic IA patientsto that in neutropenic IA patients.The combined detec-tion of three antibodies could provide higher sensitivity.
