Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of medical clinical detection. And more particularly to a computing device, storage medium, and thalassemia screening apparatus and system.

Background

Thalassemia, also known as thalassemia, is a hereditary hemolytic anemia, known as thalassemia. The causes of the disease are mainly due to deletion, mutation, etc. of alpha and beta genes. According to the gene cluster of the gene variation site, the disease can be divided into alpha globin aplastic anemia and beta globin aplastic anemia. The disease is widely distributed around the world, and southeast Asia is one of the high incidence areas. The incidence of diseases in Guangdong, Guangxi and Sichuan of China is high, and the incidence of diseases in the south provinces of the Yangtze river is gradually increased in recent years.

At present, clinical screening is mainly based on routine blood detection and hemoglobin electrophoresis analysis, and the clinical examination index is usually microcytic hypopigmented anemia and HbA accompanying the electrophoresis result2Most of the thalassemia gene carriers have no obvious clinical pathological change due to different physiological changes caused by deletion or mutation of different types of genes, and particularly, the thalassemia gene carrier of the stationary type α has screen leakage due to insufficient sensitivity of the existing means in the inspection process.

Chinese patent application 201510618319.5 entitled "method for measuring ratio of alpha to beta globin chains of hemoglobin" and application thereof discloses that a mass spectrometer is used for detecting a hemoglobin cleavage fragment as a marker peptide fragment to infer the ratio of alpha globin chains to beta globin chains of hemoglobin, and the beta thalassemia is identified. The method obtains the peak area ratio of fragment ion peaks by marking the cracking fragments of alpha and beta globin chains by isotopes, and the peak area ratio is used as judgment basis. Although the method adopts mass spectrometry technology for detection, the actual method is to infer the relative content ratio among globin chains by detecting the proportional relation of the hemoglobin cleavage peptide fragments, and low-abundance globin chains (such as chains) cannot be analyzed simultaneously, so that the high-incidence alpha-thalassemia in China cannot be screened simultaneously.

Chinese patent application 201910945988.1, entitled "characteristic protein marker composition for mass spectrometric diagnosis of thalassemia and diagnostic product thereof" discloses the identification of thalassemia by detecting the relative content of hemoglobin alpha, beta, gamma globin chains using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer. The method comprises the steps of carrying out relative quantification on a target globin chain and an internal standard substance (an internal standard protein standard substance apomyoglobin, m/z is 169952), respectively determining the content of different globin chains of a normal population relative to the internal standard substance and the content of the globin chain of a thalassemia patient relative to the internal standard substance, determining the up-regulation and down-regulation changes of alpha, beta and gamma globin chains, and taking the up-regulation and down-regulation changes as judgment basis. Although the method adopts MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry technology for detection, the actual method is to detect the content change of different globin chains of hemoglobin.

the invention uses matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) to qualitatively analyze the thalassemia by observing hemoglobin globin chains and combining quantitative calculation of software. A large number of sample analysis statistics show that a stable proportional relation exists between different globin chain contents of hemoglobin of healthy people, and the proportional relation can be obviously changed for thalassemia patients. Based on the characteristics of the new generation of MALDI-TOF MS that the quantitative reproducibility is good, the accurate analysis of the relative content of different hemoglobin chains in whole blood can be realized, and a perfect Mediterranean anemia screening method, device and system are established, so that the problems of complex flow, low accuracy and easy screen leakage of the Mediterranean anemia screening are solved. Based on the time-of-flight mass spectrometry protein analysis technology, an analysis object is changed from a hemoglobin tetramer into each specific globin chain, the specific change of each globin chain can be directly analyzed, and the specificity is stronger. In addition, the method only needs one detection, the sample pretreatment process is simple and quick, the consumption of reagent consumables is low, and the detection flux is high. The detection result is not easily influenced by laboratory conditions, the standard unification is more easily realized, and the kit is expected to be applied to large-scale clinical screening of thalassemia.

Compared with the existing electrophoresis method, the method greatly shortens the time of sample pretreatment, and effectively solves the problems of low accuracy, low detection flux, poor specificity and sensitivity and the like existing in the existing method for screening the thalassemia.

Although the chinese patent application 201510618319.5 adopts mass spectrometry for detection, the actual method is to infer the relative content ratio between globin chains by detecting the proportional relationship of the peptide fragments of hemoglobin cleavage, which is different from the method of the present invention (i.e. directly analyzing the relative ratio relationship between α, β and globin chains). The method related by the patent can only analyze high abundance globin chains, cannot analyze low abundance globin chains (such as chains) at the same time, and cannot screen high-incidence alpha-thalassemia in China at the same time.

Compared with the Chinese patent application 201910945988.1, although the method adopts MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry technology for detection, the actual method is to detect the content change of different globin chains of hemoglobin relative to the reference object after adding the reference object, the result is easily influenced by the self deviation of the reference object and unknown interference between the reference object and the sample, and the method adopts the relative proportion relation of the globin chains in human blood (namely directly analyzing the relative proportion relation of alpha, beta and globin chains) without introducing external substances, so that other interference factors are not needed, the result specificity is higher, and the detection is more accurate.

(4) Inputting the mass spectrogram data into the program of the invention, and calculating the relative abundance ratio of each globin chain in the whole blood sample of the normal population.

β floorAnalysis of samples from patients with thalassemia

(1) Preparing a sample: there are 100 whole blood samples of patients with beta thalassemia, 100 samples from the sample bank of the Chinese academy of sciences. The whole blood samples of 100 cases of beta thalassemia patients are mixed with tertiary water according to the volume ratio of 1:200 to obtain primary diluent, and then SA matrix solution is mixed with the primary diluent according to the volume ratio of 1:10 to obtain a sample to be detected.

(2) Preparing a target plate: and (3) dropwise adding the 100 samples to be detected onto a target plate matched with the flight time mass spectrometer by using a micropipette, repeatedly dotting 2 target holes on each sample, and naturally drying and crystallizing the sample after dropwise adding.

From the mass spectrogram, the abundance of the beta globin chain is obviously lower than that of the alpha globin chain, and the abundance of the globin chain relative to the beta globin chain is obviously higher than that of a healthy population sample.

(4) Inputting the mass spectrogram data into the program of the invention, and calculating the relative abundance ratio of each globin chain in the whole blood sample of the patient with beta thalassemia.

α thalassemia patient sample analysis

(1) Preparing a sample: there are 100 whole blood samples from patients with alpha thalassemia, 100 samples from the sample bank of the Chinese academy of sciences. The whole blood samples of 100 cases of alpha thalassemia patients are mixed with tertiary water according to the volume ratio of 1:200 to obtain primary diluent, and then SA matrix solution is mixed with the primary diluent according to the volume ratio of 1:10 to obtain a sample to be detected.

(2) Preparing a target plate: and (3) dropwise adding the 100 samples to be detected onto a target plate matched with the flight time mass spectrometer by using a micropipette, repeatedly dotting 2 target holes on each sample, and naturally drying and crystallizing the sample after dropwise adding.

(3) And (3) placing the dried target plate on a flight time mass spectrum for collection to obtain mass spectrum data containing all globin chains and variants thereof. Fig. 3 is a display screen shot of a hemoglobin spectrum of an α thalassemia patient obtained by the analysis program of the present invention. In the spectrogram, an m/z-15127 Da peak is an alpha globin chain mass spectrum peak, an m/z-15868 Da peak is a beta globin chain mass spectrum peak, and an m/z-15924 Da peak is a globin chain mass spectrum peak. From the mass spectra, it was found that the alpha globin chain abundance was significantly lower than the beta globin chain abundance.

(4) Inputting the mass spectrogram data into the program of the invention, and calculating the relative abundance ratio of each globin chain in the whole blood sample of the alpha thalassemia patient.

According to the relative abundance relation of various globin chains in different types of whole blood samples obtained by the three groups of samples, the algorithm integrates peak areas based on statistical analysis and calculates the relative peak area ratio of different globin chains to obtain the significant difference between the beta/alpha,/beta ratios in normal population and thalassemia patients, and then performs regression analysis according to the distribution condition of the sample ratio of each type to obtain the cut-off point (Cutoff) values of the three globin chains between the thalassemia patients and the healthy population, namely a first threshold value corresponding to/beta, a second threshold value corresponding to/alpha and a third threshold value corresponding to beta/alpha. The Cutoff value of how to statistically obtain data by regression analysis is common knowledge of those skilled in the art.

The inventors have found that differences in the number of samples sampled may cause the threshold to vary slightly, and given that the method of the present patent is a screening instrument, the threshold may be fine-tuned to optimize the sensitivity of the detection. For this purpose, the threshold value referred to in the present invention may be a range of values, namely: the center value ± deviation, for example, the first threshold value ═ a first center value ± first deviation.

Through analysis, if the peak area ratio of the globin chain to the beta globin chain is larger than a first threshold, the peak area ratio of the globin chain to the alpha globin chain is larger than a second threshold, and the peak area ratio of the beta globin chain to the alpha globin chain is smaller than a third threshold, the detected person is judged to be beta thalassemia; if the ratio of the globin chain peak area to the alpha globin chain peak area is less than the second threshold or the ratio of the beta globin chain peak area to the alpha globin chain peak area is greater than the third threshold, determining that the detected person is alpha thalassemia; if the ratio of the peak area of the globin chain to the peak area of the beta globin chain is less than the first threshold, the ratio of the peak area of the globin chain to the peak area of the alpha globin chain is greater than the second threshold, and the ratio of the peak area of the beta globin chain to the peak area of the alpha globin chain is less than the third threshold, judging that the detected person is normal; if none of the three conditions is true, the determination is suspected, and the test is performed again or other auxiliary means are adopted for confirmation.

In the explanation of the threshold values described above, for example, "> first threshold value" means "> (first central value + first deviation)"; "< third threshold" means "< (third central value-third deviation").

According to the rule, when the algorithm detects that the numerical value is in the range of [ central value-deviation, central value + deviation ], the suspected sample is judged. For example, if the peak area ratio of the globin chain to the beta globin chain falls into [ first center value-first deviation, first center value + first deviation ], the peak area ratio of the globin chain peak area to the alpha globin chain peak area > a second threshold, and the peak area ratio of the beta globin chain peak area to the alpha globin chain peak area < a third threshold, the suspected sample is determined.

Specifically, as further analysis of the β thalassemia patient samples of fig. 2, the peak area integral calculation by the software revealed that the relative ratio of globin chains to β globin chains in the β thalassemia patient samples was > 11%, the relative ratio of globin chains to α globin chains was > 9.5%, and the relative ratio of β globin chains to α globin chains was < 125.0%. The number of samples is increased or decreased, and these values are slightly changed.

Similarly, as further analysis of the α thalassemia patient samples of fig. 3, the peak area integral calculation by the software revealed that the relative ratio of β globin chain to α globin chain in the α thalassemia patient samples was > 125.0%. The number of samples is increased or decreased, and the value is slightly changed.

Similarly, as the normal population sample of fig. 1 is further analyzed, the peak area integral calculation by the software shows that the relative ratio of the globin chain to the beta globin chain in the normal population sample is less than 11.0%, the relative ratio of the globin chain to the alpha globin chain is greater than 9.5%, and the relative ratio of the beta globin chain to the alpha globin chain is less than 125.0%.

Therefore, more preferably, in order to avoid missing detection, the present invention uses the range values of the distribution of the ratio of each type of sample obtained at different sample numbers, i.e. the first threshold value is 11.0% ± 0.5%, the second threshold value is 9.5% ± 0.5%, and the third threshold value is 125.0% ± 0.5%.

In conclusion, the inventor finds out the statistical rules through the statistical analysis of a large number of samples and can be used as a judgment standard for screening thalassemia patients.

Thus, as shown in fig. 4, the present invention provides a method for screening thalassemia, comprising

s105, determining whether the detected person suffers from thalassemia or not according to the correlation of the ratio of the peak areas of the globin chain and the beta globin chain, the ratio of the peak areas of the globin chain and the alpha globin chain and the ratio of the peak areas of the beta globin chain and the alpha globin chain.

The invention uses matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) to qualitatively analyze the thalassemia by observing hemoglobin globin chains and combining quantitative calculation of software. A large number of sample analysis statistics show that a stable proportional relation exists between different globin chain contents of hemoglobin of healthy people, and the proportional relation can be obviously changed for thalassemia patients. Based on the characteristics of the new generation of MALDI-TOF MS that the quantitative reproducibility is good, the accurate analysis of the relative content of different hemoglobin chains in whole blood can be realized, and a perfect Mediterranean anemia screening method, device and system are established, so that the problems of complex flow, low accuracy and easy screen leakage of the Mediterranean anemia screening are solved. Based on the time-of-flight mass spectrometry protein analysis technology, an analysis object is changed from a hemoglobin tetramer into each specific globin chain, the specific change of each globin chain can be directly analyzed, and the specificity is stronger. In addition, the method only needs one detection, the sample pretreatment process is simple and quick, the consumption of reagent consumables is low, and the detection flux is high. The detection result is not easily influenced by laboratory conditions, the standard unification is more easily realized, and the kit is expected to be applied to large-scale clinical screening of thalassemia.

Compared with the existing electrophoresis method, the method greatly shortens the time of sample pretreatment, and effectively solves the problems of low accuracy, low detection flux, poor specificity and sensitivity and the like existing in the existing method for screening the thalassemia.

Although the chinese patent application 201510618319.5 adopts mass spectrometry for detection, the actual method is to infer the relative content ratio between globin chains by detecting the proportional relationship of the peptide fragments of hemoglobin cleavage, which is different from the method of the present invention (i.e. directly analyzing the relative ratio relationship between α, β and globin chains). The method related by the patent can only analyze high abundance globin chains, cannot analyze low abundance globin chains (such as chains) at the same time, and cannot screen high-incidence alpha-thalassemia in China at the same time.

Compared with the Chinese patent application 201910945988.1, although the method adopts MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry technology for detection, the actual method is to detect the content change of different globin chains of hemoglobin relative to the reference object after adding the reference object, the result is easily influenced by the self deviation of the reference object and unknown interference between the reference object and the sample, and the method adopts the relative proportion relation of the globin chains in human blood (namely directly analyzing the relative proportion relation of alpha, beta and globin chains) without introducing external substances, so that other interference factors are not needed, the result specificity is higher, and the detection is more accurate.

Optionally, said determining whether the subject has thalassemia comprises determining whether the subject has thalassemia based on a correlation of the ratio between the peak areas of the globin chain and the beta globin chain, the ratio between the peak areas of the globin chain and the alpha globin chain, and the ratio between the peak areas of the beta globin chain and the alpha globin chain

If the peak area ratio of the globin chain to the beta globin chain is larger than a first threshold value, the peak area ratio of the globin chain to the alpha globin chain is larger than a second threshold value, and the peak area ratio of the beta globin chain to the alpha globin chain is smaller than a third threshold value, determining that the detected person is beta thalassemia; if the ratio of the globin chain peak area to the alpha globin chain peak area is less than the second threshold or the ratio of the beta globin chain peak area to the alpha globin chain peak area is greater than the third threshold, determining that the detected person is alpha thalassemia; if the peak area ratio of the globin chain to the beta globin chain is less than the first threshold, the peak area ratio of the globin chain to the alpha globin chain is greater than the second threshold, and the peak area ratio of the beta globin chain to the alpha globin chain is less than the third threshold, judging that the detected person is normal; otherwise, the sample is judged to be suspected.

Optionally, the first threshold is 11.0% ± 0.5%, the second threshold is 9.5% ± 0.5%, and the third threshold is 125.0% ± 0.5%.

Next, the statistical law is verified.
