OBJECTIVETo assess the diagnostic value of anti-salivary gland protein-1 (SP1) antibody combined with anti-parotid secretory protein (PSP) antibody for Sjögren's syndrome (SS).METHODSA total of 60 patients with primary SS (pSS) who were treated in the outpatient and inpatient department of Department of Rheumatology and Immunology of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2020 to December 2022 were collected. Thirty patients with other autoimmune diseases accompanied by dry mouth and/or dry eyes were collected as disease control group. Thirty healthy subjects from the physical examination center were collected for healthy control group, serum samples were obtained from all of them. Their general features and clinical information including clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations and other examinations were recorded. The 2016 American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/European League against Rheumatism (EULAR) classification criteria were adopted as the diagnostic standard of pSS. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) subtype of anti-SP1 antibody and anti-PSP antibody were detected by chemiluminescence immunoassay. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the accuracy of anti-SP1 antibody and anti-PSP antibody in diagnosing pSS.The cli-nical characteristics of anti-SP1 antibody and anti-PSP antibody positive patients and negative patients in pSS group were further compared. Independent samples t test, Mann-Whitney U test, variance analysis, Kruskal-Wallis test, Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test and Spearman correlation analysis were used for statistical analysis.RESULTSThere was no significant difference in age (F=1.406, P=0.495) and gender (χ²=2.105, P=0.349) among pSS group, disease control group and healthy control group. The expression levels of anti-SP1 antibody (H=16.73, P < 0.001) and anti-PSP antibody (H=26.09, P < 0.001) were statistically different among the three groups. An intergroup comparison of anti-SP1 antibody expression levels showed that there was a statistically significant difference between pSS and healthy control group (P < 0.001), but no statistically significant difference between the other groups. Comparison of anti-PSP antibody expression levels between the groups showed that there were statistically significant differences between pSS and healthy control group (P < 0.001), and between disease control group and healthy control group (P=0.009), while no statistically significant differences between the other groups. The positive rate of anti-SP1 antibody in pSS group was significantly higher than that in disease control group and healthy control group (58.33% vs. 40.00% vs. 13.33%, P < 0.001). The positive rate of anti-PSP antibody in pSS group was significantly higher than that in disease control group and healthy control group (75.00% vs. 56.17% vs. 16.67%, P < 0.001). The area under the curve for anti-SP1 antibody was 0.688 (P < 0.001). The sensitivity and specificity of anti-SP1 antibody were 58.33% (35/60) and 70.00% (42/60) respectively, the positive predictive value was 66.04% (35/53) and the negative predictive value was 54.55% (42/77) of anti-SP1 antibody.The area under the curve of anti-PSP antibody was 0.720 (P < 0.001), with a sensitivity was 75.00% (45/60), and specificity was 63.33% (38/60).The positive predictive value and negative predictive value of anti-PSP antibody were 67.16% (45/67) and 71.70% (38/53) respectively. All the 13 pSS patients were negative for anti-Sjögren's syndrome A (SSA, including SSA52 and SSA60) antibody and anti- Sjögren's syndrome B (SSB) antibody. Among them, 11 patients were positive for both anti-SP1 antibody and anti-PSP antibody, 1 patient was positive for anti-SP1 antibody and 1 patient was positive for anti-PSP antibody. The clinical features of anti-SP1 antibody and anti-PSP antibody positive and negative groups were compared in pSS patients. The duration of disease in anti-SP1 antibody positive group was shorter (Z=-2.277, P=0.023) when compared with the negative patients. The patients with positive anti-PSP antibody were younger than those in the negative group (t=2.598, P < 0.05), the positive rate of rheumatoid factor (P=0.002) and the serum level of IgG (t=3.806, P=0.003) in anti-PSP antibody positive group were higher than in the negative group. Analysis of the correlation between anti-SP1 antibody and anti-PSP antibody in the pSS patients showed that there was significant correlation between them (r=0.801, P < 0.001).CONCLUSIONBoth anti-SP1 antibody and anti-PSP antibody are valuable in the diagnosis of SS, and anti-SP1 antibody is helpful for the early diagnosis of pSS. The combined detection of anti-SP1 antibody and anti-PSP antibody is helpful for the early diagnosis of pSS patients with negative anti-SSA antibody and anti-SSB antibody.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the expression level and application value of anti-carbamylated protein (CarP) antibody in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).METHODSDemographic data and laboratory test results of RA patients, non-RA patients and healthy controls in the physical examination center were reviewed from December 2018 to June 2019 in the Rheumatology and Immunology Department of the People' s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The serum concentrations of anti-CarP antibodies in all the subjects were measured by ELISA and statistically analyzed.RESULTSA total of 259 subjects were included in this study, including 158 in the RA group (45 serum-negative RA patients), 59 in the non-RA group and 42 in the healthy control group. The concentration of anti-CarP antibody in RA group [8.31 (5.22, 15.26) U/mL] was higher than that in non-RA group [4.50 (3.35, 5.89) U/mL] and healthy control group [3.46 (2.76, 4.92) U/mL]. The concentration of anti-CarP antibody in non-RA group was not significantly different from that in healthy control group (P=0.10). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the sensitivity of anti-CarP antibody in the diagnosis of RA was 58.2%, and the specificity was 93.1%. The sensitivity of the combined detection of anti-CarP antibody, anti-cyclic peptide containing citrulline (CCP) antibody and rheumatoid factor (RF) was 82.3%, and the specificity was 96.5%. The positive rate of anti-CarP antibody in serum-negative RA patients was 44.4% (20/45). Univariate Logisitic regression analysis showed that age, C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), RF, glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (GPI), anti-CCP antibody and anti-CarP antibody were risk factors for RA. Multivariate Logisitic regression analysis showed that anti-CCP antibody and anti-CarP antibody were independent risk factors for RA. Spearman correlation analysis showed that there was no significant correlation between anti-CarP antibody and swollen joint count (SJC), tenderness joints count (TJC), ESR, disease activity score for 28 joints (DAS28), clinical disease activity index (CDAI), simplified disease activity index (SDAI). The concentration of anti-CarP antibody in RA with bone erosion (n=88) was higher than that in RA without bone erosion (n=70), and there was significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05).CONCLUSIONSAnti-CarP antibody is an effective serological marker for the diagnosis of RA. The combined detection of RF, anti-CCP antibody and anti-CarP antibody can improve its diagnostic value, and anti-CarP antibody may be an effective assistant diagnostic tool for serum negative RA. The high serum concentration of anti-CarP antibody in patients with RA may indicate an increased risk of bone erosion and should be treated early, but further cohort studies are needed for follow-up observation.

Depressive and anxiety disorders are frequently observed in patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). However, the underlying mechanisms are still unknown. We conducted this survey to understand the prevalence of depression and anxiety in SLE patients without major neuropsychiatric manifestations (non-NPSLE) and to explore the relationship between emotional disorders, symptoms, autoantibodies, disease activity, and treatments in SLE. 176 SLE patients were included, and SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD), and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA) were recorded to evaluate their disease activity and emotional status. We found that depressive and anxiety disorders were common among SLE patients: 121 (68.8%) patients were in depression status while 14 (8.0%) patients could be diagnosed with depression. Accordingly, 101 (57.4%) were in anxiety status and 21 (11.9%) could be diagnosed with anxiety. Depression was associated with disease activity, and anxiety was associated with anti-P0 antibody, while both of them were associated with proteinuria. HAMA and HAMD scores were in strong positive correlation and they were independent risk factors of each other. We concluded that the high prevalence of depression and anxiety and the association between depression and SLE disease activity might reveal the covert damage of central nervous system in SLE. The role of anti-P0 antibody in SLE patients with emotional disorders warrants more researches.
