Objective:Analysis of hepatitis B surface antigen negative donations, initial detection of reactivity followed by subsequent differential tests or repeat the infection status of non-discriminated reactive (NDR) unresponsive blood donors to explore whether different nucleic acid detection systems have differences in the detection of HBsAg -/NDR. Methods:The test result and reactivity rates of blood donor samples received from January 2020 to August 2022 were compared, and some samples were repeated for both nucleic acid testing systems, and the characteristics of the HBsAg -/HBV DNA + blood donors were analyzed. Results:Through the analysis of nucleic acid result from January 2020 to August 2022, repeated nucleic acid detection can improve the detection of HBsAg -/NDR blood donors, and the detection rate is offset in different cycle threshold valve ( Ct value) intervals or different sample absorbance to cut-off absorbance ratio ( S/ CO value) interval. Also grouping of Ct values or S/ CO values revealed that there was variability in detection rates between intervals in the two nucleic acid detection systems (PCR: X2=108.23, P<0.001, TMA: X2=40.95, P<0.001), mainly concentrated in Ct values less than 38.5 or S/ CO values between 10 and 15. And analysis of selected HBsAg -/HBV DNA + blood donor populations revealed that repeat nucleic acid testing was found for donors of different age ( X2=9.38, P=0.025), number of blood donations ( X2=22.52, P<0.001), occupation ( X2=24.92, P=0.002) and education level ( X2=10.37, P=0.016) significant differences, while there was no statistically significant difference for blood donors by gender ( X2=9.38, P>0.05), with far more males (67.50%) than females. Conclusions:For blood donors with a Ct value of less than 38.5, or an S/ CO value between 10 and 15, or a blood donor at the age of 41 to 50 years, another detection technology can be combined to improve the detection rate, reduce the potential risk of virus transmission of HBsAg -/NDR blood donors, and ensure the safety of clinical blood.

Objective:To analyze the situation of hepatitis B enzyme immunoassay-positive but nucleic acid negative infection (HBsAg ELISA(+ )/HBV-DNA(-)) among unpaid blood donors in Zhejiang Blood Center, and to explore the causes of inconsistency between enzyme immunoassay and nucleic acid result.Methods:A single nucleic acid test was performed on blood donors whose routine blood screening result were HBsAg-ELISA(+ )/HBV-DNA(-), and the test result of such blood donors were analyzed.Results:A total of 205 HBsAg-ELISA(+ )/HBV-DNA(-) samples were screened from 114017 blood donors from May to November, 2022. The proportion of male blood donors (0.14%) were significantly lower than that of the female blood donors (0.24%)( χ2= 14.761, P<0.005); the proportion of the first blood donor (0.32%) was significantly higher than that of the second blood donor (0.09%) ( χ2 = 78.781, P<0.005); the difference between different education levels is statistically significant ( χ2 =47.753, P<0.005). After single-person nucleic acid re-detection, the re-detection rate of nucleic acid in ELISA double-reagent positive samples was higher than that in single-reagent positive samples ( χ2=94.378, P<0.005); there was no significant difference between ELISA reagent 1 and reagent 2 in the detection rate of nucleic acid ( χ2 =0.163, P>0.005). There was no significant difference in the positive rate of secondary nucleic acid detection between the two nucleic acid detection systems ( χ2=0.626, P>0.005). Serological supplementary test showed that 11 HBV-DNA(+ ) samples showed two serological combination patterns after chemiluminescence detection, namely HBsAg(+ )/HBeAb(+ ) and HBeAb(+ ), most of which were HBsAg(+ )/HBeAb (+ ), a total of 10 cases, accounting for 90.91%, and only one case was HBeAb (+ ), accounting for 9.09%. The quantitative result of HBsAg showed that most of them were at low HBsAg level. Conclusions:After re-detection by single nucleic acid detection method, HBsAg-ELISA(+ )/HBV-DNA(-) samples of blood donors do have a certain proportion of HBV-DNA(+ ), but most of the samples were still HBV-DNA (-), additional experiments on HBV serological markers and HBV-DNA are needed to determine their true infection status and clarify the reasons for the inconsistency between enzyme immunoassay and nucleic acid test result. In addition, nucleic acid and HBsAg detection reagents with high sensitivity and specificity should be selected as far as possible in blood donor screening to ensure the accuracy of result.

Objective To investigate the expression discordances of estrogen receptor ( ER), progesterone receptor (PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor2 ( HER?2) and Ki?67 in primary and metastatic breast cancer specimens and explore the clinical significances. Methods Biopsies of metastatic lesions were performed in 203 patients with breast cancer recurrence and metastasis indicated by physical examination and/or imaging examination. We confirmed pathological properties and assessed the expressions of ER, PR, HER?2 and Ki?67 in primary and metastatic lesions, their relationships with prognosis were also analyzed. Results Biopsy failed in 3 patients, the pathology and immunohistochemitry results of metastatic lesions were not obtained. One person was diagnosed as tuberculosis and another was primary lung cancer. Among the 198 cases of primary and metastatic lesions, the discordance rates of ER, PR, HER?2 and Ki?67 were 27.3%, 34.3%, 11.8% and 15.1%, respectively.The expressions of ER, HER?2 and Ki?67 were not significantly different between the primary and metastatic lesions, however, the expressions of PR were more likely to turn negative in the metastases (P<0.001). The disease?free survival (DFS) of patients with ER, PR positive, HER?2 negative and low expression of Ki?67 in metastatic lesion was much longer ( P<0.05). Conclusions The expressions of ER, PR, HER?2 and Ki?67 in metastatic lesions are associated with the prognosis of breast cancer patients.Their expression discordances between primary and metastatic lesions can guide the treatment and evaluate the risks of recurrence and prognosis.
