Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments that can be derived by one of ordinary skill in the art from the embodiments given herein are intended to be within the scope of the present invention.
Step one (TSH candidate standard substance fixed value)
A preparation method of a special calibration product for a TSH candidate standard substance for improving the consistency of TSH detection results comprises the following steps:
s1: collecting the in vitro serum of different individuals, and mixing to obtain 11 serum solutions with different TSH concentrations;
s2: and (3) respectively determining the TSH concentration in the 11 serum solutions with different TSH concentrations to obtain 11 TSH candidate standard substances with different concentrations.
In the step S2, the TSH concentration in the 11 serum solutions (candidate TSH standard substances) with different TSH concentrations is determined by means of quantitative delivery of the TSH international standard substance NIBSC 81/565, interchangeability of TSH international standard substances diluted by multiple substrates among multiple systems is shown in fig. 1-7, and basic information of TSH detection systems is shown in table 1 (see table 2 for dilution).
The judgment standard for interchangeability of the TSH international standard substances between the two systems is that the TSH international standard substances are in two 95% confidence line ranges above and below a Deming regression line drawn by individual serum TSH detection values. The specific implementation step is that serum of 29 patients with different TSH concentrations in high, medium and low levels (ethical approval 2018-2-26-1) is collected from the Beijing Kogyang Hospital affiliated to the university of capital medicine. The serum of each sample was divided into 8 portions according to the manufacturer's requirements and tested 3 times in 8 different systems (see table 1 for 8 test systems except IS 1200 and magumi 2000 plus). Samples were required to be free of hemolysis, lipemia and jaundice in appearance, and initial concentrations of TSH were measured using a Siemens ADVIA CentauerXP immunoassay to range from 0.09. mu.IU/mL to 84.03. mu.IU/mL. The reason why the compatibility evaluation of the TSH international standard substances is carried out by taking the ADVIA CentaurXP as a comparison system is that the system is an instrument which is used by the laboratory conventionally, and the laboratory passes the double recognition of the International organization for standardization (ISO)15189 and the American society of pathologists (CAP), so that the detection quality is guaranteed.

TABLE 2 basic information on TSH International Standard substance dilutions
IS, TSH international standard substance; HSP0, TSH concentration 0 μ IU/mL human serum mixture; BSA, bovine serum albumin (Sigma, B2064, concentration 46 g/L).
From FIGS. 1-7, it can be seen that in addition to ADVIA CentauerXP and Cobas 601, mixed human serum (HSP0) with a TSH concentration of 0. mu.IU/mL allows interchangeability of the diluted international standard for TSH across the systems. Whereas the BSA containing Hanks solution enables the interchangeability of the diluted TSH international standard between the ADVIA CentauerXP and DXI 800/Cobas 601/Autolumo A2000plus systems. Therefore, the two matrixes are selected as the dilution of the TSH international standard substance to draw a calibration curve to determine the value of the TSH candidate standard substance, and finally, the value obtained by each value system is required to be within the range of plus/minus 3 times of standard deviation of the overall mean value.
Furthermore, in order to explore the importance of the interchangeability of TSH international standard substances to multi-system valuing in the field of in vitro diagnosis quantity value tracing, the invention firstly defines two problems: (1) different dilutions allow different interchangeability of TSH international standard (figures 1-7). (2) Only if TSH international standard substances are made to have interchangeability, the fixed value of TSH candidate standard substances can be consistent among/in multiple systems, and the fixed value of the multiple systems can be successful.
For example, when TSH international standard substance is diluted with HSP0 and BSA-containing Hanks solution, respectively, and the fixed value curves obtained by DXI800 system are shown in fig. 8-12, it can be seen that the slopes of the left 5 fixed value curves and the slopes of the right 5 fixed value curves are close to each other, the fixed values are consistent (2 fixed value samples are used for each concentration level), and the median of the bias is smaller than the maximum allowable bias (11.7%) derived based on biological variation; however, when TSH international standard substance was diluted with HSP0 and BSA-containing Hanks solution, and the fixed value curves obtained using the Cobas 601 system are shown in fig. 13-17, it can be seen that the slopes of the left 5 fixed value curves and the right 5 fixed value curves are very different, the fixed values are not consistent (2 fixed value samples are used for each concentration level), and the median value of the bias is larger than the maximum allowable bias (11.7%) derived based on the biological variation, as shown in table 3. Therefore, we concluded that in valuing a candidate TSH standard, a substrate-drawn fixed value curve that allows interchangeability of TSH international standard was selected as much as possible for valuing. When using interchangeable matrices (see FIG. 3B), such as TSH international standards diluted with HSP0 and BSA containing Hanks solution, TSH candidate standards were scored at DXI800 system, both matrices were used and the results compared to other test systems scored to meet the requirement of within plus/minus 3 standard deviations of the overall mean (tables 3-5). When a substrate without interchangeability (see fig. 6B) is used, for example, a TSH international standard substance is diluted with HSP0, the TSH candidate standard substance is rated in the Cobas 601 system, and the rating result is greatly different from that of the rating curve obtained by other systems or a substrate with interchangeability of the TSH international standard substance, and cannot meet the requirement of adding/subtracting 3 times of the standard deviation from the overall mean value (table 3, table 5). Therefore, when multi-system valuing is carried out on the TSH candidate standard substance, relevant interchangeability research needs to be carried out firstly when TSH international standard substance diluent is selected, a substrate which enables the international standard substance to have interchangeability is selected as far as possible for valuing, and the consistency and the success rate of the valuing are improved.
Further, in order to verify the wide suitability of HSP0 and BSA-containing Hanks solution for TSH candidate standard substance valuing, the present invention additionally selects 2 TSH mainstream detection systems (IS 1200 and magumi 2000plus, see table 1), serial dilutions of TSH international standard substances are performed, a fixed value curve IS drawn as TSH candidate standard substance fixed value, finally, it IS found that the TSH international standard substances are diluted with HSP0 and BSA-containing Hanks solution, the fixed value result obtained with the IS 1200 system IS close to the overall mean value, the TSH international standard substances are diluted with HSP0, the fixed value result obtained with the magumi 2000plus system IS close to the overall mean value, see table 4.
Finally, the results of the 13-value-setting methods of the 10 detection systems are shown in Table 5.

Serum (the TSH concentration range is 0.13-84.3 mu IU/mL, Siemens ADVIA CentaurrXP detection system) which is collected by 22 patients with different TSH high, middle and low concentrations and is detected and finished in 22 cases at the Beijing Korean Hospital affiliated to the university of capital medical science is divided into 6 parts according to 4 detection amounts of 6 manufacturers, frozen at-80C, and frozen for no more than 48 hours from the collection of the serum to the completion of the freezing. Samples of hemolysis, jaundice and lipemia were excluded from the collection.
4. The mixed human serum is the TSH candidate standard substance with 11 concentration levels.
The instrument is subjected to necessary inspection and maintenance before the experiment, and the indoor quality control product is detected after the instrument is calibrated by adopting a primary factory calibration product. After passing the quality control, the 33 samples were mixed well and each sample was tested 2 times. And then, after the calibration is carried out by adopting the prepared TSH special calibrator, the 33 samples are detected again, and each sample is detected for 2 times.
Finally, the Coefficient of Variation (CV) before and after calibration of the TSH-specific calibrator is compared with the optimal CV (CV is 0.25 × CVI, CVI is the biological variation in an individual) derived based on the biological variation, and the uniformity improvement effect is judged. Meanwhile, the ADVIA CentaurXP is used as a comparison system, the Passing-Bablok regression is carried out by adopting MedCalc statistical software, and the change of a regression line before and after calibration is compared.
Before and after calibration, the median of the TSH detection value (CV) of the 6 systems is changed from 17.94 percent to 9.56 percent, and the median of the TSH detection value (CV) of the mixed human serum is changed from 17.10 percent to 5.52 percent, so that the medium requirement (9.65 percent) of CV derived from biological variation is met. The ADVIA CentaurXP is used as a comparison detection system, other detection systems are used as evaluation systems, the slope range obtained before calibration is 0.738-1.128, and the correlation coefficient is 0.989-0.999 as shown in Table 11; the slope obtained after calibration ranges from 0.954 to 1.053, and the correlation coefficient ranges from 0.986 to 0.999.
The calibration product calibration front-to-back consistency improvement effect pair is shown in fig. 18.

The application of the calibrator in any one of the following applications also belongs to the protection scope of the invention:
(i) calibrating the TSH detection reagent by using a special calibrator;
(ii) the special calibrator is adopted to improve the consistency and/or comparability of the TSH detection results of the multiple systems to individual patients.
The system includes an instrument for quantitative detection of TSH and reagents used, such as a clinical laboratory TSH detection system.
In conclusion, by means of the technical scheme of the invention, the TSH candidate standard substance (TSH special calibrator) prepared by the invention is derived from fresh frozen mixed human serum, so that the TSH candidate standard substance has good interchangeability. After the calibration product is adopted to calibrate a plurality of TSH detection systems, when the TSH concentration of individual human serum or human mixed serum is detected, the consistency of the detection results of laboratories is obviously improved. The accuracy of the test result can provide scientific basis for disease diagnosis and treatment monitoring of patients. The invention adopts the calibrator to detect individual serum discs of single patients which can represent clinical actual detection conditions, and the result shows that the degree of consistency among systems after calibration is obviously improved, the median of the TSH detection value variation coefficient among systems is changed from 17.94% to 9.56%, the median of the TSH detection value variation coefficient of mixed human serum is changed from 17.10% to 5.52%, and the CV medium requirement (9.65%) derived from biological variation is met. In a word, the TSH special calibrator and the uniformity application embodiment thereof developed by the invention are suitable for the calibration of clinical conventional TSH detection reagents, so that the consistency and comparability of TSH detection results of individual patients are improved, and the TSH special calibrator has a good application prospect and is worthy of popularization.
