To evaluate the analytical performance of a specific IgE (sIgE) quantitative detection system and explore the clinical application effect of dust mite extract and component detection. The fluorescent magnetic particle chemiluminescence method was used to verify the analytical performance of sIgE for house dust mite (D1), dust mite (D2) extracts, and their components (Der p 1, Der p 2, Der p 10, and Der p 23), including precision, limit of blank (LoB), limit of detection (LoD), linear range, and interfering factors. This is a retrospective cohort study. A total of 50 patients with allergic rhinitis and 50 patients with allergic asthma diagnosed at Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University from January 2022 to August 2023 were selected, along with 70 apparently healthy individuals who underwent physical examinations in the hospital as the healthy control group. The positive rates of each sIgE component in the three groups were compared, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for diagnosing dust mite allergy was plotted. The results showed that the fluorescent magnetic particle chemiluminescence method for detecting sIgE demonstrated good repeatability and intermediate precision within the range of 0.1-100 kU/L. The LoB, LoD, and linear range all met the specified requirements. Except for Der p 10, which was interfered by the presence of conjugated bilirubin and free bilirubin (exceeding 40 mg/dl), the detection of other allergens was not significantly affected by common endogenous substances. In healthy individuals, 10% had positive sIgE for dustmite extract; in asthmatic and allergic rhinitis patients, the positive rates were 70% and 82%, respectively. The double positive rate of D1 and D2 in the healthy group was 8.6%, while in asthmatic and allergic rhinitis patients, it was 66% and 70%, respectively. When 0.35 kU/L was used as the threshold, the sensitivity of sIgE for dust mite extract to predict component positivity was 100%, specificity was 61.5%, positive predictive value (PPV) was 80.2%, and negative predictive value (NPV) was 100%. When the threshold was optimized to 0.78 kU/L, the sensitivity was 96.8%, specificity was 92.1%, PPV was 95.2%, and NPV was 94.6%. In conclusion, the repeatability, intermediate precision, LoB, LoD, linear range, and anti-interference ability of the fluorescent magnetic particle chemiluminescence method for detecting sIgE meet the requirements of laboratory quality management. This ensures detection quality, meets clinical needs, and can be used for the auxiliary diagnosis of allergic diseases.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic performance of the 0-2 h high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) cutoff recommended by the guidelines for the rule-out and rule-in diagnosis of suspected non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients of different age groups.Methods:This is a retrospective cohort study. Clinical data of 4 050 suspected NSTEMI patients who visited the Chest Pain Center of Zhongshan Hospital affiliated with Fudan University from January 2020 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients who visited from January 2020 to April 2021 (2 650 patients) were included as derivation cohort, and those who visited from May to December 2021 (1 400 patients) were included as validation cohort. The diagnostic performance of the guideline-recommended hs-cTnT 0-2 h cutoff for the rule-out and rule-in of NSTEMI diagnosis was compared among subgroups of patients aged ≤60, >60-70, and >70 years in the derivation group. Rule-out sensitivity, negative predictive value, and rule-out proportion, rule-in specificity, positive predictive value, and rule-in proportion were assessed. Cutoffs were established for subgroups with relatively lower diagnostic performance and validated in the validation group. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) within 30 days after patient visit were used as the outcome, and survival curves were plotted using Kaplan-Meier curves, log-rank tests were used to analyze the incidence of MACE.Results:The sensitivity for ruled-out NSTEMI using the guideline-recommended 0-2 h cutoff in the subgroups of patients aged ≤60, >60-70, and >70 years in the derivation group was 100%; the negative predictive value was 100%; the ruled-out rates were 47.6% (331/696), 45.9% (491/1 070), and 28.5% (252/884), respectively. The specificity for ruled-in NSTEMI was 88.3%, 90.9%, and 86.4%, respectively; the positive predictive values were 55.3%, 59.3%, and 58.2%, respectively; the ruled-in rates were 22.6% (157/696), 19.5% (209/1 070), and 27.0% (239/884), respectively. With a requirement of sensitivity and negative predictive value >99%, the ruled-out cutoff for the subgroup of patients aged >70 years in the derivation group was established as 0 h hs-cTnT <6 ng/L or 0 h hs-cTnT<22 ng/L and 0-2 h Δhs-cTnT <5 ng/L, which increased the ruled-out rate of the subgroup aged >70 years to 45.6% (403/884). In the validation group, 42.2% (196/465) patients could be ruled-out. The incidence of MACE within 30 days for ruled-out patients aged >70 years using the established cutoff was 0.Conclusion:The diagnostic performance for the ruled-out and ruled-in diagnosis using the guideline-recommended 0-2 h hs-cTnT cutoff are relatively consistent across different age groups, but the ruled-out rate for patients aged >70 years is lower than for those aged ≤60 and >60-70 years. The ruled-out cutoff established in this study can be used to improve diagnostic performance of thus indicator on suspected NSTEMI patients.

Purpose: This Phase II trial was objected to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adding fulvestrant to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with estrogen receptor (ER)+/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)– locally advanced breast cancer (LABC). Additionally, the study aimed to investigate the association of 16α-18F-fluoro-17β-fluoroestradiol (18F-FES) positron emission tomography (PET)–computed tomography (CT) and metabolites with efficacy. Materials and Methods: Fulvestrant and EC-T regimen were given to ER+/HER2– LABC patients before surgery. At baseline, patients received 18F-FES PET-CT scan, and plasma samples were taken for liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints included total pathologic complete response (tpCR) and safety. Results: Among the 36 patients enrolled, the ORR was 86.1%, the tpCR rate was 8.3%. The incidence of grade ≥ 3 treatment-emergent adverse events was 22%. The decrease in ER value in sensitive patients was larger than that in non-sensitive patients, as was Ki-67 (p < 0.05). The maximum standardized uptake value, mean standardized uptake values, total lesion ER expression of 18F-FES PET-CT in sensitive patients were significantly higher than those in non-sensitive patients (p < 0.05). Moreover, these parameters were significantly correlated with Miller and Payne grade and the change in ER expression before and after treatment (p < 0.05). Thirteen differential expressed metabolites were identified, which were markedly enriched in 19 metabolic pathways. Conclusion This regimen demonstrated acceptable toxicity and encouraging antitumor efficacy. 18F-FES PET-CT might serve as a tool to predict the effectiveness of this therapy. Altered metabolites or metabolic pathways might be associated with treatment response.

This study aims to investigate whether the dietary supplement coenzyme Q10(CoQ10)alleviates bisphenol A(BPA)-induced mouse Leydig cell line(TM3)damage through autophagy pathway.Cell activity was measured by CCK-8 assay when treated with different concentrations of BPA for 24 h.TM3 cells were then divided into 5 groups:CON group,BPA group,Torin2 group,CQ group and BPA+CoQ10 group,with three repeats in each group.The morphology of TM3 cells were observed under inverted light microscope.Western blot was used to determine the protein ex-pression of p62 and LC3-Ⅰ/Ⅱ.The autophagy level of TM3 cells was detected by MDC cell auto-phagy staining,the mRNA expression levels of Atg7,Beclin 1,p62 and Atg5 genes were deter-mined by RT-qPCR,and the apoptosis rate of TM3 cells was detected by flow cytometry.The results showed that compared with 0 μmol/L BPA treatment group,the viability of TM3 cells de-creased significantly after 24 h treatment with 60 μmol/L BPA(P＜0.01).Compared with CON group,the number of TM3 cells markedly reduced in the BPA-treated group,the expression of au-tophagy-related proteins(p62,LC3-Ⅱ)significantly increased(P＜0.01),comparable to the CQ group.The MDC fluorescence intensity dramatically enhanced(P＜0.01),the mRNA expression levels of autophagy-related genes(Atg7,Beclin1,p62,Atg5)significantly elevated(P＜0.01),and the apoptosis rate significantly increased(P＜0.01).Compared with BPA group,the expression levels of autophagy-related genes Atg7 and Beclin1 mRNA(P＜0.05),p 62 and Atg5 mRNA(P＜0.01)in TM3 cells treated with BPA+CoQ10 significantly decreased.Moreover,the expres-sion levels of autophagy-related protein p62(P＜0.01)and LC3-Ⅱ(P＜0.05),MDC fluorescence intensity(P＜0.05)and apoptosis rate(P＜0.01)also markedly reduced.In conclusion,CoQ10 could subsequently reduce the apoptosis of TM3 cells by improving the abnormal autophagy flux induced by BPA.
