Objective:To compare the consistency of microarray chemiluminescent protein chip and immunoblotting in the autoantibody spectrum of patients and the diagnostic efficacy of systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE), and to explore the correlation between the detection results of protein microarray and clinical indicators and lymphocyte subsets.Methods:Serum autoantibodies in 649 samples collected between December 2023 and December 2024 in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital were analyzed using the microarray chemiluminescent protein chip method, with 401 samples simultaneously tested by immunoblotting. Kappa coefficient assessed inter-method consistency. Diagnostic performance was compared via ROC curves. Spearman correlation analysis evaluated relationships between autoantibody levels and SLEDAI-2000 scores, clinical parameters, and lymphocyte subsets.Results:The two methods demonstrated good consistency across 14 antinuclear antibodies, with optimal agreement for anti-SSA/Ro ( Kappa=0.845, P<0.001), anti-SSB ( Kappa=0.825, P<0.001), and anti-CENP B ( Kappa=0.851, P<0.001). The protein chip method significantly improved SLE diagnostic efficacy, particularly for anti-dsDNA (AUC difference=0.291, P<0.001) and anti-Sm antibodies (AUC difference=0.295, P<0.001). Combined detection of anti-SSA/Ro and anti-nRNP/Sm antibodies achieved superior diagnostic performance (AUC=0.927). Anti-dsDNA, anti-histone, and anti-nucleosome antibodies positively correlated with SLEDAI-2000 ( r=0.408, 0410, 0.384, all P<0.001), complement ( P<0.001), and 24-hour urinary protein ( r=0.374, 0.387, 0.301, all P<0.001). Immunological analysis showed that the proportion of NK cells was generally negatively correlated with antinuclear antibodies such as anti-dsDNA ( r=-0.352, P<0.001) and anti-Sm ( r=-0.328, P<0.001) antibodies. Meanwhile, the proportion of CD8 + T cells was positively correlated with anti-nRNP/Sm ( r=0.229, P=0.002) and anti-Sm antibodies ( r=0.211, P=0.005). The proportion of CD4 + T cells was negatively correlated with anti-SSA/Ro ( r=-0.239, P<0.001), while the proportion of B cells was positively correlated with anti-dSDNA antibody ( r=0.300, P<0.001). Conclusion:The protein chip method showed strong consistency with immunoblotting for detecting 14 autoantibodies but demonstrated superior SLE diagnostic efficacy. The combined use of multiple detection methods can enhance the reliability of clinical diagnosis.

Objective:To explore the application value of problem-based learning (PBL) combined with mini-clinical evaluation exercise (Mini-CEX) in the development of post competency for interns in the Department of Neurology.Methods:A total of 56 interns rotating at the Department of Neurology of The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from June 2023 to January 2024 were enrolled as the study subjects. They were randomly divided into a control group and an experiment group using the random number table method, with 28 interns in each group. The control group received traditional methods including small lectures and teaching rounds, while the experimental group received the PBL teaching method combined with Mini-CEX. The teaching effectiveness was evaluated through theoretical assessments, practical skill evaluations, teacher and student satisfaction surveys, and Mini-CEX scale assessments conducted at the beginning, middle, and end of the rotation for the experimental group. The data were analyzed using SPSS 23.0 software. For continuous data, the independent-samples t test or Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between groups. The chi-square test was used for categorical data and the Kruskal-Wallis H test for repeated-measurement data. Results:The theoretical scores [(45.36±2.67) vs. (42.00±4.29), P<0.01] and practical skill scores [(45.11±2.53) vs. (42.39±4.53), P<0.01] were significantly higher in the experimental group compared to the control group. The Mini-CEX score of the experimental group at the end of the rotation was notably higher than that at the beginning of rotation ( P<0.05), and their abilities improved continuously. The satisfaction rates of teachers and students in the experimental group were 71.43% (20/28) and 67.86% (19/28), respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the control group [39.29% (11/28) and 35.71% (10/28), P<0.05]. Conclusions:The teaching model integrating PBL and Mini-CEX can effectively enhance the post competency of interns in the Department of Neurology, thus offering a new perspective for clinical undergraduate teaching.
