Background
UBT for detecting helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection is widely applied to clinic due to the characteristics of no pain, no wound, accuracy, rapidness and safety. The current clinical use of UBT is classified into14C-UBT and13two kinds of C-UBT. Wherein,14C-UBT is radioactive and is not suitable for subjects such as pregnant women and children.13Stable isotopes used in C-UBT13C, no radioactivity, plus urea is also a normal component of the human body, so it is suitable for all ages and types of subjects. However, practice13The cost of C-UBT is high, and limits13The wide application of C-UBT.
Urea [ 2 ]13C]The cost of the reagent is high13One of the main reasons for the high cost of C-UBT. Urea [ alpha ]13C]In the reagent, the reaction solution is added with a solvent,13c abundance is high (generally 99%), and the dosage is large (generally 75mg), which results in higher cost of the medicament, thereby affecting13The wide use of C-UBT.
In addition, the misjudgment rate of patients with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage and patients who use antacids and anti-Hp drugs recently is higher. How to improve the accuracy rate of the part of patients is the key to further improve the overall accuracy.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to reduce the detection effect on the premise of ensuring the detection effect13Cost of C-UBT; while reducing the pair13Misjudgment rate of C-UBT for specific subjects such as patients recently administered antacids, anti-Hp drugs.
The invention thus achieves the object: provides a urea kit for diagnosing helicobacter pylori infection, which comprises a certain dosage form of urea13C]Reagent, catheter for insufflation, characterized by CO2The collection bag also comprises a sensitizer.
In the urea kit for diagnosing helicobacter pylori infection, the sensitizer comprises any one or any combination of citric acid, malic acid, ascorbic acid and tartaric acid.
In the urea kit for diagnosing helicobacter pylori infection, each dose of the sensitizer contains 1-5 g of citric acid.
In the urea kit for diagnosing helicobacter pylori infection of the present invention, each dose of urea [ 2 ]13C]The reagent contains 15-25 mg of urea13C]。
In the urea kit for diagnosing helicobacter pylori infection of the present invention, each dose of urea [ 2 ]13C]In the reagent13The abundance of C is 40-90%, and the contained urea [ alpha ]13C]The amount of (A) is equivalent to 15 to 25 mg13Urea with C abundance of 99%13C]。
The urea kit for diagnosing helicobacter pylori infection comprises a sensitizer, and the sensitivity can be improved13The accuracy and the sensitivity of the C-UBT for diagnosing the helicobacter pylori infection reduce the misjudgment rate and ensure the use of low dose of urea13C]The reagent is used or lower13Urea of C abundance13C]The reagent can also ensure the detection result. Thereby effectively reducing the cost of the reagent.
Detailed Description
Example 1
1. Subject: 30 volunteers, all of the 30 volunteers were older than 18 years. Wherein 15 men are 19-65 years old, and 37 years old on average; 15 women aged 20-53 years, and the average age was 33 years.
2. The experimental method comprises the following steps:
(1) the method comprises the following steps of performing gastroscopy on a volunteer firstly, then extracting a biopsy specimen, and performing conventional pathological test and urease test on the biopsy specimen.
(2) Preparing a sensitizing agent into a 100ml solution, and taking a dose of urea from the prepared solution13C]Capsule, observation of pathology, urease and13C-UBT results.
The main component of the sensitizer is citric acid, and each sensitizer contains 5 g of citric acid. Each dose of urea13C]In capsules13The abundance of C is 99%, and the C contains urea13C]17 mg, lower than conventional content.
(3) By CO2A collection bag to collect the gas exhaled by the volunteer. The method is to inhale deeply and exhale for a long time, the exhaling process is roughly divided into two parts, in the embodiment, the gas exhaled by the front part is not collected, and only the gas exhaled by the rear part is collected, so that the collected gas is the gas in the alveoli.
3. Results of the experiment
The results of the experiment are shown in the following table, wherein "+" indicates positive results and "-" indicates negative results.
Table 1: test results of biopsy specimen pathology, urease, and UBT-13
4. Conclusion
As can be seen from Table 1, with the aid of a sensitizer, lower than conventional urea [ alpha ], [ beta ] is used13C]In an amount of13The C-UBT test results are quite accurate and meet the clinical requirements.
The sensitizer may include any one or any combination of citric acid, malic acid, ascorbic acid and tartaric acid. Sweetening agents such as aspartame and acesulfame potassium can be added into the sensitizer to improve the taste of the sensitizer.
Example two
The experimental procedure of this example is substantially the same as that of the previous example, except that: in this example, urea [ 2 ]13C]In capsules13The C abundance was not the conventional 99% but 45%. In addition, each dose of urea [ 2 ]13C]Urea contained in the capsule13C]The amount of (a) is equivalent to 15 to 25 mg13Urea with C abundance of 99%13C]。
The experimental result shows that under the action of the sensitizer, the method adopts13C abundance of 45%13The C-UBT test results are quite accurate and meet the clinical requirements.13Urea with C abundance of 45%13C]The preparation cost is far lower than that of13Urea with C abundance of 99%13C]Thereby reducing the cost of the reagent. Note that each dose of urea [ 2 ]13C]Urea contained in the capsule13C]The amount is preferably 15 to 75mg13Urea with C abundance of 99%13C]。
EXAMPLE III
In this example, volunteers with upper gastrointestinal bleeding, who recently used antacids and anti-Hp drugs, were selected. The volunteers were first gastroscoped, then biopsy specimens were taken, and routine pathological and urease tests were performed on the biopsy specimens.
Then, the volunteers were subjected to the routine13C-UBT test (hereinafter referred to as first test)13C-UBT assay). No sensitizers were administered in this trial.
Conventional (B) is13After the C-UBT test, the volunteers fasted for 6 hours. Then the volunteers were given a second time13C-UBT assay. In this test, the test procedure was urea13C]Reagent and urea13C]The amount of reagent used is the same as the first time13C-UBT assay is the same; the difference is that the subject was given a sensitizer in this trial.
The results show that for the first time13A certain misjudgment rate occurs in the C-UBT. And a second time13And C-UBT has no misjudgment rate.
Experiments show that each dose of urea [ alpha ], [ beta ], [ alpha ] form of urea ] is obtained by using13C]The reagent contains 15-25 mg of urea13C]The requirements of clinical tests can be met; or, adopt13Urea with C abundance of 40-90%13C]A reagent in which the amount of urea in each reagent is appropriately increased so that each reagent contains urea13C]Urea [ alpha ], [ alpha ]13C]The content is between 15 and 75mg, which can also meet the requirements of clinical trials. In addition, the kit provided by the invention also has a lower misjudgment rate.
