Objective:To investigate the value of anti-hexokinase1 antibodies (anti-HK-1) and anti-kelch-like 1 antibodies (anti-KLHL12) antibody in evaluating ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) response in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC).Methods:112 PBC patients who had been treated with UDCA for more than 12 months with relatively complete clinical data were analyzed. Serum was collected and the expression of anti-mitochondrial antibody (AMA), anti-HK-1 and anti-KLHL12 antibodies were detected by ELISA. The response to UDCA was based on Paris standard. According to the expression of new antibodies, the patients were divided into the new antibody positive group and negative group. In addition, PBC related baseline indicators were collected, and Spearman correlation analysis was used to study the correlation between antibody expression and baseline indicators in PBC patients.Results:Positivity of anti-HK1 and anti-KLHL12 antibody in AMA-positive PBC patients were 44.7% and 41.2% respectively. Positivity of anti-HK1 and anti-KLHL12 antibodies in AMA negative PBC patients were 33.3% and 22.2%. Anti-HK1 positive patients had higher serum levels of Alaninetransaminase (ALP), aspartate aminotransferase, (AST), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GT) and total bilirubin (TBIL) compared with anti-HK1 negative patients, with statistical significant differences ( P<0.05). Notably, correlation analysis showed significantly positive correlation between anti-HK1 antibody expression and ALP, γ-GT and TBIL serum levels ( r=0.735, P<0.05; r=0.332, P<0.05; r=0.491, ( r=0.466, P<0.05). The UDCA response rate in anti-HK-1 antibody positive group was lower than that of the negative group (36.2% vs 60%; P<0.05). Conclusion:Anti-HK-1 and anti-KLHL12 antibody can help to diagnose PBC, and the expression of anti-HK-1 antibody is correlated with the severity of PBC, which could help to predict the reaction of PBC patients to UDCA.

Purpose To investigate the effect of two different 1.5T MRI scanners on the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurement and its reproducibility in diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) of the liver. Materials and Methods Two groups of volunteers (33 people in each group) underwent liver DWI examination twice by using the same DWI sequence with b value of 0 and 800 s/mm2 on different MRI scanners (1.5T Siemens Espree and 1.5T Philips Achieva). On ADC maps, two region of interests were placed on three central slices of the left and right liver lobes, respectively. The ADC measurements of six region of interests on left and right liver lobes were averaged to represent the mean ADC values of the left and right liver lobe, respectively. The reproducibility of the ADC measurements was assessed by Bland-Altman method. Results The ADC values of the left and right liver lobes measured on Siemens MRI scanner were significantly higher than those on Philips MRI scanner (t=2.045-2.713, P<0.05); on both scanners, the ADC values of the left liver lobe were significantly higher than those of the right liver lobe (t=-10.561--7.263, P<0.001). The Bland-Altman results showed that the reproducibility of ADC measurement was similar on both MRI scanners, and both displayed higher reproducibility of right liver lobe than that of left liver lobe (on Siemens MRI scanner: the agreement were 16.65% and 7.55% for the left and right liver lobe, respectively;and on Philips MRI scanner:16.30%and 7.85%, respectively. Conclusion Different MRI scanners may have influence on ADC values, but does not affect its reproducibility. Therefore, when ADC values obtained on different MR scanners are compared in clinical analysis, this influence should be considered.
