1.Value of anti-CCP antibody,ALP and G6PI assay in diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis
International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2014;(16):2187-2188,2196
Objective To investigate the detection of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide(anti-CCP)antibody,alkaline phosphatase (ALP),glucose-6-phosphate isomerase(G6PI)and rheumatoid factor(RF)in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis(RA).Methods Serum RF,anti-CCP body,ALP and G6PI were detected in 206 cases of RA,68 cases of other autoimmune diseases and 48 persons with the healthy physical examination,at the same time the erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR)was measured;the sensitivity and specificity of each indicator and the relationship between each index and RA′s diagnosis.Results The serum level of each index in the RA group was significantly higher than that in the other two groups(P <0.05).The sensitivity of RF,anti-CCP antibody and G6PI for diagnosing RA is similar;the specificity of anti-CCP body was highest(94.8%),RF was similar to G6PI;ALP with rela-tively lower sensitivity and specificity also reflected the potential of RA to some extent.Conclusion The simultaneous detection of serum RF,anti-CCP body,G6PI and ALP can improve the accuracy of early diagnosis of RA,reduce the missed diagnosis and guide the clinical treatment.

【Objective】 To analyze the dynamics of specific SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies in blood donors in Fuzhou area after receiving booster doses of inactivated COVID-19 vaccine and breakthrough infections, and to provide evidence for the timing of the collection of specific immune plasma or convalescent plasma and the subsequent vaccine doses. 【Methods】 A total of 109 volunteers who received the first booster dose of inactivated COVID-19 vaccine and 102 volunteers who experienced breakthrough infections were recruited at Fujian Blood Center from October to November 2021. Blood samples were collected at eight time points: 14 (11, 20) days before the booster dose (Time0), 14 (10, 23) days after the booster dose (Time1), 53 (45.5, 61) days after the booster dose (Time2), 88 (78, 101.5) days after the booster dose (Time3), 124 (112.5, 138.5) days after the booster dose (Time4), 158 (146, 174) days after the booster dose (Time5), 194 (179.5, 214) days after the booster dose (Time6) and within one month after the breakthrough infection (Time7). Serum SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies were detected using a chemiluminescence immunoassay. The dynamics of antibody levels were analyzed and the effects of age, gender, weight, BMI, blood type and smoking on antibody levels were also analyzed. 【Results】 The positive rate of SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies was 53.2% (58/109) at Time0, 100% (109/109) at Time1, and 95.4% (104/109) at Time6. The antibody levels were significantly higher at Time1 and Time6 than at Time0 (P<0.001). The highest level was observed at Time1, followed by a gradual decrease until Time2-Time6, which were 89.9% (9.74/10.84), 77.7% (8.42/10.84), 68.3% (7.4/10.84), 59.4% (6.44/10.84), and 53.9% (5.84/10.84) of the peak value at Time1 (P<0.001). There were no significant differences in IgG antibody levels among different gender, weight, BMI, age, blood type and smoker or non-smoker at the same time points (P values all >0.05). The IgG antibody level at Time7 was 2.07 times than that at Time1 (P<0.001). There were no significant differences in IgG antibody levels between asymptomatic groups and symptomatic groups and also between fever-free groups and fever groups (P values all >0.05). The IgG antibody level in breakthrough infection group was significantly higher than that in non-breakthrough infection group (P<0.001). 【Conclusion】 Booster doses of inactivated COVID-19 vaccine and breakthrough infections can stimulate stronger immune responses in the body. It is recommended to collect specific immune plasma or convalescent plasma within one month after breakthrough infections or booster doses of COVID-19 vaccine for special purposes. The timing of subsequent vaccine doses should be based on the dynamics of antibody levels. It is necessary to continuously monitor antibody levels to provide evidence for subsequent vaccine doses.
