Description

Sample analysis method and sample analyzer
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of in vitro diagnostics, and in particular to a sample analysis method and a sample analyzer.
Background
The microorganism is tiny, simple in structure and invisible to the naked eye, and can be observed after being amplified by a special instrument. Microorganisms include prokaryotic species (e.g., bacteria, actinomycetes, mycoplasma, rickettsia, chlamydia, spirochetes), eukaryotic species (e.g., fungi, protozoa, algae), acellular species (viruses and prions).
Many diseases are associated with microorganisms. Related diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms include bacterial, viral, fungal and protozoan diseases. Pathogenic microorganisms can cause blood-borne diseases including bacteremia, septicemia, toxemia, sepsis, etc. Wherein sepsis is a systemic infectious syndrome (SIRS) that can cause septic shock and multiple organ dysfunction with mortality rates as high as 30-50%. As can be seen, the rapid detection of microorganisms is of great significance.
Currently, the gold standard for clinically diagnosing microorganisms is blood culture. However, for blood culture, the whole process from blood to plate culture to fruiting is cumbersome and takes very long (usually more than 3-5 days), and often the patient's condition is serious after fruiting. Based on this, various novel and effective detection means are emerging successively. Such detection means include immunodetection methods, electrochemical detection methods, and the like.
The immunoassay method refers to detection of specific microorganisms by utilizing antigen-antibody specific reaction, and includes conventional lectin assay and precipitation assay, and novel enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), radiolabeling method, chemiluminescent immunoassay, etc. The specificity of the immunoassay method is very strong, and the detection speed is faster than that of the traditional culture method. However, since there are disadvantages in that an antibody is difficult to obtain, an antibody cost is high, a detection sensitivity is insufficient, reactivity is easily affected by environment, and the like, an immunodetection method is difficult to be widely applied to clinical microorganism detection.
The electrochemical detection method mainly uses the electric signal change generated by the microorganism metabolic process to detect the microorganism, and common methods include impedance analysis, potentiometry, amperometry and the like. The electrochemical detection method has small equipment and low cost, but has insufficient sensitivity.

As a necessary instrument for routine analysis of blood in modern clinical blood department, a blood cell analyzer (also called a blood analyzer and a hemocytometer) taking flow cytometry as a basic principle has the advantages of rapidness, accuracy, extremely simple operation and the like for detecting blood cells, and is an indispensable full-automatic blood cell rapid detection instrument in modern clinical examination.
Based on the above, the invention provides a technical scheme for rapidly detecting pathogenic microorganisms in blood or body fluid based on flow cytometry and fluorescent labeling technology.
In the embodiments of the present invention, the microorganism means a microorganism which is difficult to be seen by naked eyes and which can be observed by means of an optical microscope or an electron microscope. Microorganisms include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and a few algae, among others.
In some embodiments, the microorganism is selected from the group consisting of:
bacteria (e.g., staphylococcus aureus, escherichia coli, pseudomonas aeruginosa, bacillus dysenteriae, bacillus pertussis, bacillus diphtheriae, neisseria meningitidis, mycobacterium tuberculosis, clostridium tetani, bacillus leptospiriformis, group A hemolytic streptococcus, brucella, bacillus cholerae, typhoid bacillus, bacillus anthracis, neisseria gonorrhoeae, vibrio cholerae, pseudomonas klebsiella, and paratyphoid A, B or C.paratyphi),

actinomycetes (e.g., actinomycetes israeli),
spirochetes (e.g., leptospira, treponema pallidum).
In embodiments of the invention, blood or body fluid refers to blood or body fluid from a mammal, particularly a human. Among them, body fluids (body fluids) can be classified into urine, sweat, cerebrospinal fluid (cerebrospinal fluid), serosal fluid (serous cavity fluid), joint synovial fluid (synovial fluid) and the like according to the location. The body fluids are all present in small amounts in normal humans. The effusion in serosal cavities includes pleural effusion (pleuroperitoneal effusion), peritoneal effusion (ascites) and pericardial effusion (pericardial effusion), and the effusion in articular cavities is synovial fluid (joint effusion).
As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention first provides a sample analysis method 100 for rapidly detecting microorganisms in blood or body fluid based on flow cytometry and fluorescent labeling techniques, the sample analysis method 100 including the following steps S110, S120 and S130.
In step S110, the same biological sample to be tested is treated with a dye reagent comprising a first dye and a hemolyzing agent for lysing erythrocytes to obtain a sample solution to be tested. The biological sample to be measured is a blood sample to be measured or a body fluid sample to be measured. Here, the first dye is capable of staining the microorganism. That is, when microorganisms are present in the blood sample or the body fluid sample to be measured, the treatment of the blood sample or the body fluid sample to be measured with the first dye can cause the microorganisms therein to be stained.
For example, in step S110, the hemolytic agent and the dye reagent may be sequentially added to the same sample of blood or body fluid to be tested to obtain a sample fluid to be tested, and then the sample fluid to be tested is incubated, so that the dye reagent can sufficiently dye the substance to be tested in the sample fluid to be tested. For another example, in step S110, the dye reagent may be mixed with the hemolysis agent in advance to obtain a mixed reagent, and then the mixed reagent and the biological sample to be tested may be mixed at a ratio of 250:1-1000: mixing in a volume ratio of 1, and after mixing uniformly, incubating the mixed sample liquid to be tested at a temperature of 25-50 ℃ for 10 seconds-1 minute, preferably for 20-40 seconds.
It will be appreciated that in embodiments of the invention, the haemolytic agent is used to lyse red blood cells in blood or body fluids, to lyse the red blood cells into fragments, but is capable of maintaining the morphology of the white blood cells substantially unchanged.
In some embodiments, the hemolysis agent may comprise any one or a combination of several of cationic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, anionic surfactants, amphiphilic surfactants, buffer pairs. The cationic surfactant is, for example, at least one or a combination of several selected from dodecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride, octyl trimethyl ammonium bromide and tetradecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride. The nonionic surfactant is, for example, at least one or a combination of several selected from long-chain fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene, alkylphenol polyoxyethylene, fatty acid polyoxyethylene and fatty amine polyoxyethylene. The buffer pair is selected from at least one or a combination of a plurality of phosphates, citrates and Tris-HCl. The anionic surfactant is selected from at least one or a combination of several of dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid, sodium fatty alcohol acyl sulfate, sodium ethoxylated fatty acid methyl ester sulfonate, sodium secondary alkyl sulfonate and alcohol ether carboxylate.
In other embodiments, the hemolytic agent may include at least one of an alkyl glycoside, a triterpenoid saponin, a steroid saponin.
In step S120, particles in the sample liquid to be measured are made to pass through the optical detection area one by one and the particles flowing through the optical detection area are irradiated with light, so as to obtain scattered light information and fluorescence information generated by the particles in the sample liquid to be measured after being irradiated with light. The fluorescence information includes at least first fluorescence information from the first dye, that is, the first fluorescence information includes a fluorescence signal generated by the particles in the sample liquid to be measured after being combined with the first dye under light excitation.
That is, in step S120, scattered light information and fluorescence information of the sample liquid to be measured are obtained based on the flow cytometry principle. When light, such as a laser beam, irradiates the particles flowing through the optical detection zone, the characteristics of the particles themselves (e.g., volume, degree of staining, cell content size and content, nucleus density, etc.) may block or redirect the laser beam, thereby producing scattered light at various angles corresponding to its characteristics, which, upon receipt by the signal detector, may yield optical information related to the structure and composition of the particles, i.e., scattered light information and fluorescence information of the present invention. Here, the scattered light information includes, for example, at least one of forward scattered light information and side scattered light information. Among them, the number and volume of forward scattering photoreactive particles, the complexity of Side Scatter (SS) reaction cell internal structures (such as intracellular particles or nuclei), and the content of nucleic acid substances in Fluorescence (FL) reaction cells. By using the optical information, various particles in the sample liquid to be detected can be identified.
In an embodiment of the invention, the scattered light information comprises scattered light signal intensity and the fluorescence information comprises fluorescence signal intensity.
In step S130, microorganisms in the sample liquid to be tested are identified based on the scattered light information and the first fluorescence information.
In some embodiments, step S130, that is, identifying microorganisms in the sample fluid to be tested based on the scattered light information and the first fluorescence information, may include: generating a first scatter plot based on the scattered light information and the first fluorescence information; and identifying microorganisms in the sample liquid to be tested based on the first scattergram.
In the embodiment of the invention, the scatter diagram can be a two-dimensional scatter diagram or a three-dimensional scatter diagram, and two-dimensional or three-dimensional characteristic information of a plurality of particles is distributed on the scatter diagram, wherein an X coordinate axis, a Y coordinate axis and a Z coordinate axis of the scatter diagram all represent one characteristic of each particle. For example, in a scatter plot, the X-axis represents forward scattered light signal intensity, the Y-axis represents fluorescence signal intensity, and the Z-axis represents side scattered light signal intensity. It should be noted that the scatter plot herein is not limited to graphical form, but may be in a data form, such as a digital form of a table or list having an equivalent or similar resolution to the scatter plot, or in any other suitable manner known in the art.
Further, the scattered light information may comprise forward scattered light information FSC, in particular forward scattered light signal strength. Accordingly, generating the first scatter plot based on the scattered light information and the first fluorescence information may include: a first scatter plot is generated based on the forward scattered light information FSC, in particular the forward scattered light signal intensity, and the first fluorescence information FL1, in particular the first fluorescence signal intensity, as shown in fig. 2 and 3. Wherein fig. 2 shows a first scattergram when the biological sample to be measured is a blood sample, and fig. 3 shows a first scattergram when the biological sample to be measured is a body fluid sample.
Further, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, identifying microorganisms in the sample liquid to be tested based on the scattered light information and the first fluorescence information may include:
acquiring a microorganism characteristic region P1 and a white blood cell region P2 from the first scatter diagram, wherein the intensity of first fluorescence information of the microorganism characteristic region is larger than that of the white blood cell region; and is also provided with
And identifying microorganisms in the sample liquid to be tested based on the microorganism characteristic area P1.
Here, through the repeated studies of the inventors, in a scatter diagram having forward scattered light information as an abscissa and first fluorescent information as an ordinate, for example, a two-dimensional scatter diagram shown in fig. 2 and 3, a certain specific region exists above a white blood cell group (i.e., white blood cell region) (i.e., the first fluorescent signal intensity of the specific region is not less than the first fluorescent signal intensity of the white blood cell region), when a microorganism exists in a blood sample or a body fluid sample, there are always agglomerated scatter points in the specific region, and when a microorganism does not exist in a blood sample or a body fluid sample, there are no agglomerated scatter points in the specific region. Thus, the agglomerated scatter in this feature region, which may also be referred to as a microbiological feature region, may be used to characterize the microbiological particle mass. When the number of scattered points in the characteristic region exceeds a predetermined threshold value, then the presence of microorganisms in the blood sample or body fluid sample to be tested is considered.
In some embodiments, identifying microorganisms in the sample fluid to be tested based on the scattered light information and the first fluorescence information may include: the number of microorganisms in the sample fluid to be measured is obtained on the basis of the scattered light information, in particular the forward scattered light information, and the first fluorescence information. For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 2 and 3, the number of scattered points in the microorganism-characteristic region P1 may be used to characterize the number of microorganisms in the sample liquid to be tested.
In some possible specific examples, the scatter data (for example, the number of the scattered points in the microorganism characteristic area P1) of a large number of biological samples containing the microorganisms and the actual number of the microorganisms in these biological samples may be collected in advance, and a correlation curve of the scatter data of the microorganisms and the actual number may be obtained by fitting, so as to obtain a corresponding calculation model, for example, a linear calculation model. In the actual test of the biological sample to be tested, the method of the invention acquires the microorganism scattered point data of the biological sample to be tested, and based on the microorganism scattered point data of the biological sample to be tested and the predetermined calculation model, the number of microorganisms in the biological sample to be tested can be estimated, thereby realizing the quantitative analysis of the microorganisms.
In some embodiments, when the biological sample to be tested is a blood sample to be tested, the sample analysis method 100 may further include: identifying parasites, in particular plasmodium, in the sample fluid to be tested on the basis of the scattered light information and the first fluorescence information, in particular on the basis of the first scatter plot. Therefore, the detection of microorganisms and parasites in blood can be realized simultaneously by one-time detection of the same biological sample to be detected, the blood detection efficiency is improved and the reagent cost is saved under the condition of not increasing the blood consumption.
In some specific examples, the parasite is selected from the group consisting of: roundworm, hookworm, tapeworm, trichomonas vaginalis, liver fluke, paragonium wegener, toxoplasma gondii, cysticercus suis, trichina, amoeba, leishmania donovani, plasmodium, schistosome, filarial, artemia, scabies, follicular mites, lice, fleas.
In some embodiments, when the biological sample to be measured is a blood sample to be measured, the dye reagent may further include a second dye different from the first dye, the second dye being capable of staining cells in blood in step S110. At this time, the fluorescence information obtained in step S120 further includes second fluorescence information FL2 from the second dye, particularly second fluorescence signal intensity, that is, the second fluorescence information includes a fluorescence signal generated under light excitation after the particles in the sample liquid to be measured are combined with the second dye. Thus, the cell parameters of the sample liquid to be measured, such as white blood cell parameters, nucleated red blood cell parameters and the like, can be further obtained according to the scattered light information and the second fluorescence information.
As some implementations, a second dye capable of staining leukocytes in blood, particularly for leukocyte classification, is used in step S110. Accordingly, as shown in fig. 4, the sample analysis method 100 may further include step S140: and acquiring a leukocyte classification result of the sample liquid to be detected based on the scattered light information and the second fluorescence information. In a specific example, the white blood cells in the sample liquid to be tested can be classified into a lymphocyte population, a monocyte population, a neutrophil population, and an eosinophil population based on the scattered light information and the second fluorescence information, and each type of white blood cell can be counted to obtain a lymphocyte count and/or a proportion of the lymphocyte count to the white blood cell count, a proportion of the monocyte count to the white blood cell count, a proportion of the neutrophil count and/or the neutrophil count to the white blood cell count, and a proportion of the eosinophil count to the white blood cell count. In another example, white blood cells in the sample liquid to be measured may be classified into a lymphocyte group, a monocyte group, a neutrophil group, an eosinophil group and a basophil group based on the scattered light information and the second fluorescence information, and the white blood cells of each type may be counted. Therefore, the microorganism detection and the leucocyte detection in the blood can be simultaneously realized by one-time detection of the same blood sample to be detected, the blood detection efficiency is improved and the reagent cost is saved under the condition of not increasing the blood consumption.
In some embodiments, the second dye for leukocyte classification may be a nucleic acid dye capable of binding to intracellular nucleic acid species, e.g., including cyanine-based cationic compounds, for further details reference to chinese patent application CN101750274a filed by applicant at 2019, 9, 28, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
In some embodiments, the second dye for leukocyte classification is a non-DNA or RNA specific nucleic acid dye, e.g., comprising a compound having formula ii below.
Further, the scattered light information may include side scattered light information SSC and forward scattered light information FSC. Accordingly, identifying the microorganism in the sample liquid to be tested based on the scattered light information and the first fluorescence information, step S130 may include: identifying microorganisms in the sample liquid to be detected based on the forward scattered light information FSC and the first fluorescence information FL1, as shown in fig. 5A; and acquiring the white blood cell classification result of the sample liquid to be measured based on the scattered light information and the second fluorescence information, that is, step S140 may include: a white blood cell classification result of the sample liquid to be measured, for example, a white blood cell four classification result as described above, is obtained based on the side scattered light information SSC and the second fluorescent information FL2, as shown in fig. 5B. For example, a second scattergram is generated based on the side scattered light information and the second fluorescence information, and white blood cells in the sample liquid to be measured are classified into a neutrophil group, a lymphocyte group, a monocyte group, and an eosinophil group on the second scattergram according to the gating technique and these cell groups are counted.
Further, step S140 may also include obtaining a white blood cell classification result of the sample liquid to be measured based on the forward scattered light information FSC, the side scattered light information SSC, and the second fluorescence information FL 2.
As a further implementation, a second dye is used in step S110, which is capable of staining nucleated cells, such as white blood cells and nucleated red blood cells, in particular for identifying nucleated red blood cells. Accordingly, as shown in fig. 6, the sample analysis method 100 may further include step S150: at least one of a white blood cell count, a basophil count, and a nucleated red blood cell count of the sample liquid to be measured is obtained based on the scattered light information and the second fluorescent information, and in particular, the white blood cell count, the basophil count, and the nucleated red blood cell count of the sample liquid to be measured are obtained based on the scattered light information and the second fluorescent information. Therefore, the microorganism detection and the white blood cell and/or nucleated red blood cell detection in the blood can be simultaneously realized by one-time detection of the same blood sample to be detected, the blood detection efficiency is improved and the reagent cost is saved under the condition of not increasing the blood consumption.
In some embodiments, the second dye used to stain nucleated cells may also be a nucleic acid dye that binds to nucleic acid material within the cells, but may be a protein dye that binds to protein material within the cells, unlike the dyes used for leukocyte classification described above. In one example, the second dye for staining nucleated cells includes, for example, a compound having the following chemical formula iii.
Further, the scattered light information may comprise forward scattered light information FSC. Accordingly, identifying microorganisms in the sample fluid to be tested based on the scattered light information and the first fluorescence information, step S130 may include: identifying microorganisms in the sample liquid to be detected based on the forward scattered light information FSC and the first fluorescence information FL1, as shown in fig. 7A; and obtaining at least one of the white blood cell count, the basophil count, and the nucleated red blood cell count of the sample liquid to be measured based on the scattered light information and the second fluorescence information, that is, step S150 may include: at least one of a white blood cell count, a basophil count, and a nucleated red blood cell count of the sample liquid to be measured is acquired based on the forward scattered light information FSC and the second fluorescence information FL2, as shown in fig. 7B.
In some embodiments, in the case of treating a biological sample to be measured with a dye reagent including a first dye and a second dye, irradiating particles flowing through the optical detection zone with light in step S120 includes: particles flowing through the optical detection zone are irradiated with light of a single wavelength, in particular blue light, for example blue light having a wavelength of around 450 nm.
Here, in the case where two dyes, i.e., a first dye and a second dye, are excited simultaneously with one excitation light, in order to better distinguish and collect first fluorescent information corresponding to the first dye and second fluorescent information corresponding to the second dye, thereby more accurately distinguishing white cells and microorganisms in blood by the two dyes under hemolysis conditions, the first dye and the second dye are selected such that the absolute value of the difference in wavelengths corresponding to the peaks of emission spectra of the first dye and the second dye is greater than 30 nm and less than 80 nm. Alternatively or additionally, the first dye and the second dye are selected such that the amount of overlap of the emission spectra of the first dye and the second dye is not more than 50%. By selecting such a first dye and a second dye, the detection interference of the first fluorescent signal and the second fluorescent signal with each other can be greatly reduced, i.e. the discrimination of the first fluorescent signal and the second fluorescent signal can be greatly increased.
Fig. 8 shows a schematic diagram of the emission spectra of the first dye and the second dye, the curve indicated by the dotted line being the emission spectrum 210 of the first dye, and the curve indicated by the solid line being the emission spectrum 220 of the second dye. Wherein, the peak point of the emission spectrum 210 of the first dye is a, and the peak point of the emission spectrum 220 of the second dye is D. Here, the absolute difference (i.e., the difference in wavelength corresponding to the peak value) between the abscissa of the peak point a and the peak point D is greater than 30 nm and less than 80 nm. Further, the amount of overlap of the emission spectrum 210 of the first dye and the emission spectrum 220 of the second dye may be a ratio of a first polygonal area equal to a curved polygonal area surrounded by three points E, G, and C, and a second polygonal area equal to a curved polygonal area surrounded by the emission spectrum 210 of the first dye (or the emission spectrum 220 of the second dye) and the reference line 230, wherein the reference line 230 is a dashed line transverse to the horizontal axis as shown in fig. 8, which is at 5% of the normalized peak of the emission spectrum 210 of the first dye and the emission spectrum 220 of the second dye. Points E and F are the left and right intersection points of the emission spectrum 220 of the second dye with the reference line 230, respectively, and points B and C are the left and right intersection points of the emission spectrum 210 of the first dye with the reference line 230, respectively. Here, the amount of overlap of the emission spectrum 210 of the first dye with the emission spectrum 220 of the second dye is no more than 50%.
It is further advantageous, especially in the case of irradiation with light of a single wavelength, that the absolute value of the difference between the wavelengths corresponding to the peaks of the emission spectra of the first dye and the second dye is greater than 40 and less than 80 nm, preferably greater than 50 nm and less than 80 nm, more preferably greater than 50 nm and less than 70 nm, so that the mutual detection interference of the first fluorescent signal and the second fluorescent signal can be further reduced.
Furthermore, it is advantageous if the emission spectra of the first dye and the second dye overlap by no more than 35%, preferably no more than 15%, so that the detection interference of the first fluorescent signal and the second fluorescent signal with each other can also be further reduced. Wherein, the smaller the overlapping amount of the emission spectra of the first dye and the second dye, the more favorable it is to distinguish the first fluorescent signal from the second fluorescent signal.
Next, some embodiments of the first dye of the present invention are described.
In some embodiments, the first dye may be a large stokes shift dye. Here, the large stokes shift dye means a dye in which a difference between wavelengths corresponding to respective peaks of an emission spectrum and an excitation spectrum is larger than a predetermined threshold.
Fig. 9 is a schematic spectrum diagram of a large stokes shift dye whose excitation spectrum (also referred to as absorption spectrum) 310 is shown by a dotted line and emission spectrum 320 is shown by a solid line. Wherein, the peak point of the excitation spectrum 310 is A1, and the peak point of the emission spectrum 320 is A2. The difference between the abscissa of each of the peak points A2 and A1 (i.e., the difference between the wavelengths corresponding to the peaks of each of the emission spectrum and the excitation spectrum) is greater than a predetermined threshold. The predetermined threshold may be, for example, greater than 30 nanometers and less than 150 nanometers, preferably greater than 50 nanometers and less than 100 nanometers.
The use of large stokes shift dyes in particular reduces the detection interference of the first fluorescent signal and the second fluorescent signal with each other.

As shown in fig. 10, the sample analyzer 400 includes a sampling device 410, a sample preparation device 420, an optical detection device 430, and a processor 440. The sample analyzer 400 also includes a fluid path system (not shown) for communicating the sampling device 410, the sample preparation device 420, and the optical detection device 430 for fluid communication between these devices.
The sampling device 410 is used for quantitatively sucking a biological sample to be measured, wherein the biological sample to be measured is a blood sample to be measured or a body fluid sample to be measured. For example, the sampling device 410 has a pipette with a pipette nozzle and has a driving device for driving the pipette to quantitatively aspirate a biological sample to be measured through the pipette nozzle. The sampling device may deliver the collected biological sample to be tested to the sample preparation device 420.

In this context, a flow cell refers to a chamber adapted to detect focused liquid flow of light scattering signals and fluorescent signals.

The light detector may be arranged at one or more different angles relative to the incident light beam to detect light scattered by the particles to obtain a light scattering signal. Since different particles have different light scattering properties, the light scattering signal can be used to distinguish between different populations of particles. In particular, the light scattering signal detected in the vicinity of the incident light beam is generally referred to as a forward light scattering signal or a small angle light scattering signal. In some embodiments, the forward light scatter signal may be detected from an angle of about 1 ° to about 10 ° from the incident light beam. In other embodiments, the forward light scatter signal may be detected from an angle of about 2 ° to about 6 ° from the incident light beam. The light scattering signal detected in a direction at about 90 ° to the incident light beam is generally referred to as a side light scattering signal. In some embodiments, the side scatter signal may be detected from an angle of about 65 ° to about 115 ° from the incident light beam. Typically, fluorescent signals from blood cells stained with a fluorescent dye are also typically detected in a direction that is about 90 ° from the incident light beam.
