Objective:We conducted a quality analysis and a survey of current situation of portable blood glucose meters from hospitals and patient sources in Zhejiang Province..Methods:The study is a retrospective cross-sectional study that included 252 portable blood glucose meters, of which 35 portable blood glucose meters (4 in provincial hospitals, 29 in municipal hospitals, and 2 in county-level hospitals) selected for the "Zhejiang Province Portable Blood Glucose Meter Flight Quality Control Inspection" project in April 2023, 126 portable blood glucose meters collected for the "Zhejiang Hospital Portable Blood Glucose Meter Whole Hospital Comparison" project in January 2024, and 91 portable blood glucose meters collected from patients in the "Zhejiang Hospital Home Portable Blood Glucose Meter Convenience Service" project from 2021 to 2023. By comparing the blood glucose results with the reference analyzer, evaluate the qualification rate of portable blood glucose meters between hospitals and patients, imported and domestic brands, and analyze the distribution of blood glucose concentration intervals for unqualified portable blood glucose meters. Conduct a survey questionnaire on the use of portable blood glucose meters by patients to analyze their trust in the results, quality control execution rate, comparison awareness rate, and comparison execution rate.Results:The overall qualification rate of portable blood glucose meters in hospitals (95.7%) was higher than that of portable blood glucose meters use by patients (70.3%), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ 2=31.94 , P<0.001). Among the unqualified blood glucose meters, the unqualified blood glucose concentration is mainly concentrated in the high concentration range (65.9%). Among imported brands, the qualification rate of blood glucose meters from hospitals(99.3%) is higher than that from patients(74.0%), and the difference is statistically significant ( χ 2=36.97, P<0.001). Meanwhile, 75% of patients fully trust the detection results of the blood glucose meter, but its instrument qualification rate is 69%. The awareness rate of patients regarding the comparison of portable blood glucose meters is 73%, but the execution rate of quality control and standard comparison of portable blood glucose meters by patients is 0. Conclusion:The quality of portable blood glucose meters in Zhejiang Province is uneven, with the highest pass rate for portable blood glucose meters from hospitals. Patients have weak awareness of quality control and comparison of portable blood glucose meters.

Objective:Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)is a common metabolic disorder in overweight and obese children,and its etiology and pathogenesis remain unclear,lacking effective preventive and therapeutic measures.This study aims to explore the association between whole blood copper,zinc,calcium,magnesium and iron levels and NAFLD in overweight and obese children aged 6 to 17 years,providing a scientific basis for the prevention and intervention of early NAFLD in overweight and obese children. Methods:A cross-sectional study design was used to collect relevant data from overweight and obese children who visited the Hunan Children's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2021 through questionnaire surveys.Fasting blood samples were collected from the subjects,and various indicators such as blood glucose,blood lipid,and mineral elements were detected.All children were divided into an overweight group(n=400)and a NAFLD group(n=202).The NAFLD group was divided into 2 subgroups according to the ALT level:A non-alcoholic fatty liver(NAFL)group and a non-alcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH)group.Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the association between minerals(copper,zinc,calcium,magnesium,and iron)and NAFLD,NAFL and NASH. Results:A total of 602 subjects were included,of whom 73.6%were male,with a median age of 10(9,11)years,and a body mass index(BMI)of 24.9(22.7,27.4)kg/m2.The intergroup comparison results showed that compared with the overweight group,the NAFLD group had higher levels of age,BMI,diastolic blood pressure(DBP),systolic blood pressure(SBP),triglyceride(TG),low density lipoprotein(LDL),alanine transaminase(ALT)and aspartate aminotransferase(AST),and lower level of high density lipoprotein(HDL).The NAFL group had higher levels of age,BMI,DBP,SBP,ALT,and AST,and lower levels of HDL compared with the overweight group.The levels of age,BMI,DBP,SBP,TG,LDL,ALT,and AST of NASH were higher than those in the overweight group,while the level of HDL was lower than that in overweight group(all P<0.017).After adjusting for a variety of confounders,the OR of NAFLD for the highest quantile of iron was 1.79(95%CI 1.07 to 3.00)compared to the lowest quantile,and no significant association was observed between copper,zinc,calcium,and magnesium,and NAFLD.The subgroup analysis of NAFLD showed that the OR for the highest quantile of iron in children with NAFL was 2.21(95%CI 1.26 to 3.88),while no significant association was observed between iron level and NASH.In addition,no significant associations were observed between copper,zinc,calcium,and magnesium levels and NAFL or NASH. Conclusion:High iron level increases the risk of NAFLD(more likely NAFL)in overweight and obese children,while copper,zinc,calcium,magnesium,and other elements are not associated with the risk of NAFLD in overweight and obese children.

Objective:Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)has significant genetic susceptibility.Adipocytokines play a crucial role in NAFLD development by participating in insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis.However,the association between adipocytokine pathway genes and NAFLD remains unclear.This study aims to explore the association of gene polymorphisms in the adipocytokine pathway and their interactions with NAFLD in obese children. Methods:A case-control study was conducted,dividing obese children into NAFLD and control groups.Peripheral venous blood(2 mL)was collected from each participant for DNA extraction.A total of 14 single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNP)in the adipocytokine pathway were genotyped using multiplex PCR and high-throughput sequencing.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to assess the association between SNP and NAFLD in obese children.Dominant models were used to analyze additive and multiplicative interactions via crossover analysis and Logistic regression.Generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction(GMDR)was used to detect gene-gene interactions among the 14 SNPs and their association with NAFLD in obese children. Results:A total of 1 022 children were included,with 511 in the NAFLD group and 511 in the control group.After adjusting for age,gender,and BMI,multivariate Logistic regression showed that PPARG rs1801282 was associated with NAFLD in the obese children in 3 genetic models:heterozygote model(CG vs CC,OR=0.58,95%CI 0.36 to 0.95,P=0.029),dominant model(GG+CG vs CC,OR=0.62,95%CI 0.38 to 1.00,P=0.049),and overdominant model(CC+GG vs CG,OR=1.72,95%CI 1.06 to 2.80,P=0.028).PRKAG2 rs12703159 was associated with NAFLD in 4 genetic models:heterozygous model(CT vs CC,OR=1.51,95%CI 1.10 to 2.07,P=0.011),dominant model(CT+TT vs CC,OR=1.50,95%CI 1.10 to 2.03,P=0.010),overdominant model(CC+TT vs CT,OR=0.67,95%CI 0.49 to 0.92,P=0.012),and additive model(CC vs CT vs TT,OR=1.40,95%CI 1.07 to 1.83,P=0.015).No significant multiplicative or additive interaction between PPARG rs1801282 and PRKAG2 rs12703159 was found in association with NAFLD.GMDR analysis,adjusted for age,gender,and BMI,revealed no statistically significant interactions among the 14 SNPs(all P>0.05). Conclusion:Mutations in PPARG rs1801282 and PRKAG2 rs12703159 are associated with NAFLD in obese children.However,no gene-gene interactions among the SNP are found to be associated with NAFLD in obese children.

Objective:This study evaluates the performance of chemiluminescence assay, which is designed to detect Hepatitis D Virus (HDV) Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies.Methods:A comparative analysis was conducted among chemiluminescence anti-HDV IgG reagent, the magnetic particle-based domestic reagent A and domestic reagent B, and the Robo Gene HDV RNA kit, using 1909 HBsAg-positive plasma samples. This comparison aimed to delineate clinical specificity and detection accuracy. The anti-HDV IgG reagent precision was assessed at three different concentration levels following the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute EP5-A2 guidelines. The specificity of the assay was validated using 200 HAV IgM positive, 545 HBsAg-positive but anti-HDV IgG-negative, 350 anti HCV positive plasma samples and 200 healthy human blood samples. Additionally, a concordance study was conducted with 545 HBsAg-positive and 37 anti-HDV IgG-positive plasma samples, comparing the anti-HDV IgG reagent against reagent A.Results:1 909 HBsAg-positive plasma samples were tested using 3 anti HDV IgG reagent and 1 HDV RNA reagent, 19 samples were identified as anti-HDV IgG-positive. The anti-HDV IgG demonstrated superior accuracy and specificity. The assay exhibited excellent precision, with intra-assay coefficient of variation (CV) values ranging from 1.57% to 4.30%, and inter-assay CV values between 1.71% and 4.67% for detecting samples at high, medium, and low concentration levels. Concordance with Reagent A showed consistent results in both positive and negative detections.Conclusion:In this study, the anti-HDV IgG reagent (chemiluminescence method) displayed outstanding specificity in detecting clinical samples and exhibited a high conformity rate with commercialized reagents, making it potentially suitable for screening anti-HDV IgG in HBsAg-positive samples.

Objective:This study aims to evaluate the quality and explore the preliminary clinical applications of a domestically developed hepatitis D virus nucleic acid quantification reagent (abbreviated as"domestic HDV RNA reagent").Methods:The sensitivity and accuracy of the reagent were evaluated in accordance with the WHO HDV RNA international standard, employing the Bio-Rad CFX Opus 96 real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR analysis system. Serial dilutions of pseudo-viruses or cell culture-derived virus were used to determine the linear range of the domestic HDV RNA reagent. Specificity was assessed using positive samples of HAV, HBV, HCV infection, and HEV national reference materials. Precision was evaluated with samples at both high and low concentrations. In a comparative analysis, 30 HDV IgG positive samples were tested using both the domestic HDV RNA reagent and the RoboGene HDV RNA kit based on the ABI 7500 FAST DX system. The Pearson correlation coefficient (r) was used to examine the correlation between the two reagents.Results:The domestic HDV RNA reagent demonstrated a high sensitivity of up to 6 IU/ml, consistent with that of the comparator reagent. The calibration curve for WHO HDV RNA standards had a slope of -3.286, with an amplification efficiency of 101.6%. The linear detection range spanned from 10 to 10 8 IU/ml for eight HDV genotypes. The domestic HDV RNA reagent exhibited exceptional specificity, without cross-reactivity observed with HAV, HBV, HCV, or HEV. Accuracy assessments at five concentration levels met the required standards, with intra-assay precision coefficient of variation ( CV) ranging from 1.20% to 4.20%, and inter-assay precision CV from 1.20% to 7.90%. The detection results for HDV IgG positive samples were highly correlated with the comparator reagent ( r=0.984, P<0.001), achieving a diagnostic accuracy of 100% compared to sequencing results. Conclusion:In this study, the domestic HDV RNA reagent possesses excellent specificity, accuracy, precision, and a broad linear range, attaining a sensitivity level on par with international reagents of the same type.
