Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical testing technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, sample analyzer, and storage medium for thromboelastography detection based on magnetic beads. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional thromboelastography (TEG) is generated using a thromboelastograph, an analyzer that detects the entire dynamic process of coagulation, including platelet aggregation, coagulation, and fibrinolysis, and is used to monitor and analyze the coagulation state of blood samples. The principle is to simulate the changes in viscoelasticity of the blood clot formed during blood coagulation over time and to plot the thromboelastography using mechanical principles. Generating traditional TEG requires a specialized thromboelastograph, which is costly. Furthermore, TEG testing is slow and requires manual operation by dedicated personnel, resulting in low timeliness and failing to meet the high-time requirements of emergency situations. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a thromboelastography detection method, device, sample analyzer, and storage medium based on magnetic beads that is highly efficient and can significantly reduce costs, in order to address the above problems.

[0004] A thromboelastography detection method based on magnetic beads, applied to a sample analyzer, the method comprising:

[0005] When the item to be tested includes elasticity map detection, the magnetic bead method is used to detect the sample and obtain magnetic bead oscillation waveform data;

[0006] Based on the oscillation waveform data of the magnetic beads, an elasticity map is drawn to generate a thromboelastography map.

[0007] In one embodiment, when the elastogram detection included in the item to be detected is a first type of elastogram detection, the sample is a whole blood sample, and the thromboelastogram is a first type of thromboelastogram;

[0008] When the elastogram detection included in the test item is a type II elastogram detection, the sample is a plasma sample, and the thromboelastogram is a type II thromboelastogram.

[0009] In one embodiment, when the item to be tested only includes the first type of elasticity map detection, the step of using the magnetic bead method to detect the sample and obtain magnetic bead oscillation waveform data includes:

[0010] Control the sampling needle to draw whole blood sample into the magnetic bead reaction cup, and then transfer the magnetic bead reaction cup containing the whole blood sample to the reagent addition position;

[0011] Add whole blood reagent to the reagent addition position, and then transfer the magnetic bead reaction cup containing the whole blood reagent to the magnetic bead detection position.

[0012] The sample is detected using the magnetic bead method at the magnetic bead detection position, and the oscillation waveform data of the magnetic bead is collected.

[0013] In one embodiment, when the item to be detected includes more than just the first type of elasticity map detection, the step of using the magnetic bead method to detect the sample and obtain magnetic bead oscillation waveform data includes:

[0014] Control the sampling needle to mix the centrifuged whole blood sample, and then add the mixed whole blood sample to the magnetic bead reaction cup;

[0015] After adding the whole blood sample, transfer the magnetic bead reaction cup to the reagent addition position, add whole blood reagent to the reagent addition position, and then transfer the magnetic bead reaction cup with the whole blood reagent to the magnetic bead detection position.

[0016] The magnetic bead detection position is tested using the magnetic bead method, and the magnetic bead oscillation waveform data is collected.

[0017] In one embodiment, when the item to be detected includes a second type of elastogram detection, the step of using the magnetic bead method to detect the sample and obtain magnetic bead oscillation waveform data includes:

[0018] Control the sampling needle to draw up a plasma sample and add it to the magnetic bead reaction cup, then transfer the magnetic bead reaction cup containing the plasma sample to the reagent addition position;

[0019] Add plasma reagent to the reagent addition position, and then transfer the magnetic bead reaction cup containing the added plasma reagent to the magnetic bead detection position.

[0020] The plasma sample was tested using the magnetic bead method at the magnetic bead detection position, and magnetic bead oscillation waveform data was collected.

[0021] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0022] When the test items do not include elastogram detection, the sampling needle is controlled to draw plasma into the reaction cup, and the reaction cup with the sample added is transferred to the detection position, which is a magnetic bead detection position or an optical detection position.

[0023] The aforementioned magnetic bead-based elastography detection method, when the sample is found to include elastography detection, uses the magnetic bead method to detect the sample, obtaining magnetic bead oscillation waveform data. Based on this data, an elastography map is plotted to generate a thromboelastography map. This method does not require a dedicated thromboelastography instrument; existing sample analyzers can be used. The magnetic bead method is a common detection method in sample analyzers. Only the addition of a corresponding elastography plotting method to the sample analyzer is needed to generate the thromboelastography map. This thromboelastography detection method not only significantly reduces costs but also greatly improves timeliness due to its simplicity. Attached Figure Description

[0045] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0046] The magnetic bead method involves placing a magnetic bead in a test cup (reaction cup). A set of drive coils on both sides of the test cup generates a constant, alternating electromagnetic field, causing a specially designed demagnetized steel bead inside the test cup to oscillate at a constant amplitude. After the addition of a coagulation activator, as fibrin production increases, plasma viscosity increases, and the amplitude of the steel bead's movement gradually decreases. The instrument collects data on the magnetic bead's oscillation waveform based on the changes in the steel bead's movement sensed by another set of measuring coils.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, a thromboelastography detection method based on magnetic beads is proposed and applied to a sample analyzer. The method includes:

[0048] Step 102: When the item to be tested includes elasticity map detection, the sample is tested using the magnetic bead method to obtain magnetic bead oscillation waveform data.

[0049] The items to be tested can include one or more testing items. Elasticity map testing is one of these testing items. There are several ways to obtain the items to be tested. One way is to directly receive a testing instruction, which contains information about the items to be tested. Another way is to obtain the items to be tested by scanning a barcode, that is, to store the information of the items to be tested in the form of a barcode.

[0050] When the test items include elastography, the sample needs to be tested using the magnetic bead method to collect the magnetic bead oscillation waveform data. The test items can simultaneously include multiple test items. For example, in addition to elastography, the test items may also include four coagulation parameters: prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), and fibrinogen (FIB). The coagulation parameters can be detected using either the magnetic bead method or an optical method. When the coagulation parameters are detected using the magnetic bead method, they can be performed simultaneously with elastography, i.e., the magnetic bead method can be used to detect both coagulation parameters and elastography. Furthermore, in one embodiment, each magnetic bead method test item can correspond to an elastography. For example, detecting the TT parameter using the magnetic bead method can yield a TT elastography graph, and detecting the APTT parameter using the magnetic bead method can output an APTT elastography graph.

[0051] Since the coagulation panel test requires a plasma sample, the elastic graph obtained from the plasma sample is not a standard elastic graph. To distinguish it, the elastic graph obtained from the plasma sample is called a "type II elastic graph". That is, the TT elastic graph and APTT elastic graph mentioned above are actually type II elastic graphs.

[0052] In other words, elastogram detection is actually divided into two types: Type I elastogram detection and Type II elastogram detection. Type I elastogram is a standard elastogram obtained based on whole blood sample detection, while Type II elastogram is a non-standard elastogram obtained based on plasma sample detection.

[0053] Therefore, when the test includes elastography, it is necessary to further distinguish which type of elastography is included in order to determine the type of sample required for the test, i.e., whether to use a plasma sample or a whole blood sample.

[0054] Step 104: Draw an elasticity map based on the magnetic bead oscillation waveform data to generate a thromboelastography map.

[0055] One method involves converting the magnetic bead oscillation waveform data to generate a thromboelastography map. There are several methods for converting and calculating using magnetic bead oscillation waveform data.

[0056] In one embodiment, the transformation calculation can be performed as follows: First, the first derivative of the magnetic bead oscillation waveform data is obtained to obtain the first derivative graphic data. Then, the first derivative graphic data is differentiated again to obtain the second derivative graphic data. Based on the second derivative graphic data, the peaks and troughs of the first derivative graphic data are determined. Then, the peak baseline and trough baseline are extracted. Based on the peak baseline and trough baseline, an inverse transformation is performed to obtain the initial elasticity map. Then, a fitting calculation is performed to draw the thromboelastography map.

[0057] In another embodiment, the transformation calculation can also be performed as follows: first, the magnetic bead oscillation waveform data is inversely transformed to obtain the inversely transformed magnetic bead oscillation waveform data; then, the first-order derivative and second-order derivative of the transformed magnetic bead oscillation waveform data are performed; based on the second-order derivative, the peak and trough of the first-order derivative are determined; the peak baseline and trough baseline are extracted; and then, the fitting calculation is performed to obtain the thromboelastography map.

[0058] The aforementioned magnetic bead-based elastography detection method, when the sample to be tested includes elastography detection, uses the magnetic bead method to detect the sample, obtaining magnetic bead oscillation waveform data. Based on this data, an elastography map is plotted to generate a thromboelastography map. This method does not require a dedicated thromboelastography instrument; it can be implemented using existing sample analyzers. The magnetic bead method is a common detection method in sample analyzers. Only the addition of a corresponding elastography plotting method to the sample analyzer is needed to generate the thromboelastography map. This thromboelastography detection method not only significantly reduces costs but also greatly improves timeliness due to its simplicity.

[0059] In one embodiment, when the elastography detection included in the test item is a first type of elastography detection, the sample is a whole blood sample and the thromboelastography is a first type of thromboelastography; when the elastography detection included in the test item is a second type of elastography detection, the sample is a plasma sample and the thromboelastography is a second type of thromboelastography.

[0060] The first type of elasticity diagram is a standard elasticity diagram, which includes the entire force curve. The second type of elasticity diagram is a non-standard elasticity diagram, which only includes half of the force curve (i.e., only the first half). For example... Figure 2A The diagram shown is a schematic of the first type of elastic force diagram. Figure 2BThis is a schematic diagram of the second type of elasticity map. Different samples are used for different types of elasticity maps, which allows for the determination of the items to be tested based on actual needs, and provides greater flexibility and variety in the selection of testable items.

[0061] In one embodiment, when the test item only includes the first type of elastogram test, the magnetic bead method is used to test the sample and obtain magnetic bead oscillation waveform data. This includes: controlling the sampling needle to draw whole blood sample and add it to the magnetic bead reaction cup; transferring the magnetic bead reaction cup with the whole blood sample added to the reagent addition position; adding whole blood reagent to the reagent addition position; transferring the magnetic bead reaction cup with the whole blood reagent added to the magnetic bead detection position; and using the magnetic bead method to test the sample at the magnetic bead detection position and collecting magnetic bead oscillation waveform data.

[0062] When performing tests in the sample analyzer, if the test item only includes the first type of elastogram detection, a whole blood sample is used directly. That is, the provided sample is a whole blood sample. The whole blood sample is directly drawn up using a sampling needle, and then the magnetic bead reaction cup with the whole blood sample is transferred to the reagent addition position. Whole blood reagent is added to the reagent addition position, and then transferred to the magnetic bead detection position. This facilitates the subsequent detection of the whole blood sample using the magnetic bead method to obtain the magnetic bead oscillation waveform data. The sample analyzer provides a method for realizing the above-mentioned elastogram detection, and the detection of the first type of elastogram can be achieved using the sample analyzer.

[0063] In one embodiment, when the test item includes more than just the first type of elastogram test, the magnetic bead method is used to test the sample and obtain magnetic bead oscillation waveform data. This includes: controlling the sampling needle to mix the centrifuged whole blood sample, and adding the mixed whole blood sample to the magnetic bead reaction cup; transferring the magnetic bead reaction cup with the added whole blood sample to the reagent addition position, adding whole blood reagent to the reagent addition position, transferring the magnetic bead reaction cup with the added whole blood reagent to the magnetic bead detection position; transferring the magnetic bead reaction cup with the added mixed whole blood sample to the magnetic bead detection position, and using the magnetic bead method to perform the test and collect the magnetic bead oscillation waveform data.

[0064] When the tests to be performed include more than just Type I elastography, it indicates that other tests are required. These other tests often require plasma samples. Therefore, to ensure that both Type I and other tests can be performed using the same sample, centrifuged whole blood is provided, with plasma as the supernatant. For other tests, the plasma supernatant is used. For Type I elastography, the centrifuged whole blood is first mixed, and then the mixed whole blood sample is used. When both tests are performed simultaneously, since a centrifuged whole blood sample is provided, the tests requiring plasma are performed first. This involves first collecting the plasma sample, then mixing it, and finally collecting the mixed whole blood sample. This saves time and reduces the physical and financial burden on patients and medical staff caused by repeated blood draws for multiple tests.

[0065] In one embodiment, when the test item includes a second type of elastography test, the magnetic bead method is used to test the sample and obtain magnetic bead oscillation waveform data. This includes: controlling the sampling needle to draw up a plasma sample and add it to a magnetic bead reaction cup; transferring the magnetic bead reaction cup with the added plasma sample to a reagent addition position; adding plasma reagent to the reagent addition position; transferring the magnetic bead reaction cup with the added plasma reagent to a magnetic bead detection position; and using the magnetic bead method to test the plasma sample at the magnetic bead detection position to collect magnetic bead oscillation waveform data.

[0066] The second type of elastography uses plasma samples, and other tests (such as the four coagulation tests) also primarily use plasma samples. Therefore, regardless of whether the test includes other tests besides the second type of elastography, plasma samples are always used. Similarly, the plasma sample is tested using the magnetic bead method to obtain the corresponding magnetic bead oscillation waveform data.

[0067] In one embodiment, the above-mentioned elastogram detection method based on magnetic beads further includes: when the item to be detected does not include elastogram detection, controlling the sampling needle to draw plasma into the reaction cup, and transferring the reaction cup after adding the sample to the detection position, which is a magnetic bead detection position or an optical detection position.

[0068] In addition to detecting items that include elastography, this sample analyzer can also perform tests that do not include elastography, such as the standard coagulation panel. In other words, this sample analyzer can perform both standard coagulation panel and elastography tests. The analysis method employed by this sample analyzer can utilize both magnetic bead and optical methods; that is, the analyzer has both magnetic bead and optical method detection channels. It should be noted that a coagulation activator must be added to the sample before performing magnetic bead or optical method tests to initiate a coagulation reaction. This is fundamental to sample testing and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0069] In one embodiment, when the items to be tested include both elastography and optical testing, the method further includes: controlling the sampling needle to draw a sample into an optical reaction cup; transferring the optical reaction cup with the sample added to an optical detection position; and using optical methods to test the sample at the optical detection position.

[0070] When the tests include both elastography and optical testing, the optical tests require adding the sample to an optical reaction cup and then performing optical testing at the optical detection site. In other words, multiple tests can be performed using the same method or different methods.

[0071] In one embodiment, when the items to be tested include more than just elastography, the method further includes: obtaining the test results of other items besides elastography; and generating a test report based on the test results of other items and thromboelastography.

[0072] In order to comprehensively reflect the coagulation status, the test results of multiple tests are combined into a single test report. For example, the coagulation four items and the elastography test are combined into one test report for doctors' reference.

[0073] like Figure 3The diagram illustrates the detection process of a sample analyzer (e.g., a coagulation analyzer) implementing the above-described thromboelastography detection method based on the magnetic bead method in one embodiment. First, the coagulation test sample (centrifuged whole blood) is placed in the sample position. Then, the barcode is scanned to obtain the test item. It is determined whether any test item requires plasma. If not, the centrifuged whole blood is remixed using vibration or suction, and then the whole blood is drawn into a magnetic bead reaction cup and transferred to the magnetic bead detection position for magnetic bead detection. Magnetic bead oscillation waveform data is collected, thus obtaining the first type of thromboelastography. If plasma is required, the sampling needle is controlled to draw plasma, which is then transferred to the detection module (including magnetic bead detection and optical detection). Depending on the type of test item, the detection module uses either the magnetic bead method or the optical method for detection (if the second type of elastography detection is included, the magnetic bead method is used to obtain the second type of thromboelastography). Then, it is determined whether there are any items that require whole blood testing (Type I thromboelastography testing) in the test items. If so, the centrifuged whole blood is remixed into whole blood by vibration or suction. Then, the whole blood is drawn into the magnetic bead reaction cup and transferred to the magnetic bead detection position for magnetic bead detection. The magnetic bead oscillation waveform data is collected, and then the Type I thromboelastography is obtained.

[0074] like Figure 4 As shown, a method for generating thromboelastography based on magnetic beads is proposed. This method includes:

[0075] Step 402: Obtain the magnetic bead oscillation waveform data obtained based on the magnetic bead method.

[0076] The magnetic bead method involves placing a magnetic bead (which can be pre-placed in the test cup or added during the test; the test cup can also be sealed) in a test cup (reaction cup). At the test position, a set of driving coils and a set of receiving coils on both sides of the test cup generate a constant, alternating electromagnetic field, causing a specially designed demagnetized steel bead inside the test cup to maintain a constant amplitude oscillation. After the addition of a coagulation activator, as fibrin production increases, plasma viscosity increases, and the amplitude of the steel bead's movement gradually weakens. The instrument collects the changes in the steel bead's movement based on the sensing of these changes by another set of measuring coils, obtaining the magnetic bead oscillation waveform data.

[0077] Step 404: Based on the magnetic bead oscillation waveform data, perform conversion calculations to obtain the thromboelastography.

[0078] One method involves converting the magnetic bead oscillation waveform data to generate a thromboelastography map. There are several methods for converting and calculating using magnetic bead oscillation waveform data.

[0079] In one embodiment, the transformation calculation can be performed as follows: First, the first derivative of the magnetic bead oscillation waveform data is obtained to obtain the first derivative graphic data. Then, the first derivative graphic data is differentiated again to obtain the second derivative graphic data. Based on the second derivative graphic data, the peaks and troughs of the first derivative graphic data are determined. Then, the peak baseline and trough baseline are extracted. Based on the peak baseline and trough baseline, an inverse transformation is performed to obtain the initial elasticity map. Then, a fitting calculation is performed to draw the thromboelastography map.

[0080] In another embodiment, the transformation calculation can also be performed as follows: first, the magnetic bead oscillation waveform data is inversely transformed to obtain the inversely transformed magnetic bead oscillation waveform data; then, the first-order derivative and second-order derivative of the transformed magnetic bead oscillation waveform data are performed; based on the second-order derivative, the peak and trough of the first-order derivative are determined; the peak baseline and trough baseline are extracted; and then, the fitting calculation is performed to obtain the thromboelastography map.

[0081] The aforementioned method for generating thromboelastography based on the magnetic bead method can obtain the thromboelastography map by converting and calculating the oscillation waveform data of the magnetic beads. This method does not require a dedicated thromboelastography instrument and can be implemented using existing sample analyzers. The magnetic bead method is a common detection method in sample analyzers. Only the corresponding conversion and calculation method needs to be added to the sample analyzer to generate the thromboelastography map. This method not only greatly reduces costs but also significantly improves timeliness due to the simplicity of the detection method.

[0082] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, step 404, which involves converting and calculating data based on the magnetic bead oscillation waveform to obtain the thromboelastography, includes:

[0083] Step 404A: Calculate the peak baseline and trough baseline of the first derivative based on the oscillation waveform data of the magnetic bead.

[0084] The first-order derivative peak baseline refers to the peak baseline in the first-order derivative graphical data obtained by taking the first derivative of the magnetic bead oscillation waveform data. The peak baseline is a line composed of multiple extracted peaks, i.e., a straight line connecting multiple peaks. The first-order derivative trough baseline refers to the trough baseline in the first-order derivative graphical data obtained by taking the first derivative of the magnetic bead oscillation waveform data. The trough baseline is a line composed of multiple extracted troughs, i.e., a straight line connecting multiple troughs. As can be seen from the above, thromboelastography is divided into type I thromboelastography and type II thromboelastography, which are thromboelastography obtained based on whole blood and plasma, respectively.

[0085] The following example, using a type II thromboelastography (TEE) of a plasma sample, illustrates the entire calculation process of the thromboelastography. Figure 6The image shown is a graphical representation of the oscillation waveform data of the collected magnetic beads. Figure 7 The image shown is a graphical representation of the first-order derivative obtained by taking the first-order derivative of the magnetic bead oscillation waveform data. Figure 8 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the peak and trough baselines obtained based on the first-order derivative graphical data.

[0086] Step 404B: Obtain the initial elasticity diagram by performing an inverse transformation based on the peak and trough baselines of the first-order derivative.

[0087] Among them, such as Figure 9 As shown, the initial elasticity map is obtained by inversely transforming the peak and trough baselines of the first-order derivative relative to the zero baseline. From Figure 9 The signal can be emitted, and after inverse transformation, the original peak baseline and trough baseline become 0 baseline, and then the 0 baseline after the peak baseline and trough baseline becomes the original peak baseline and trough baseline.

[0088] Step 404C: Fit the initial elasticity map to obtain the thromboelastography map.

[0089] Among them, such as Figure 10 The image shown is the thromboelastography map obtained after fitting. Figure 9 The initial elasticity map obtained is not a smooth curve. Therefore, to obtain a smooth curve, the initial elasticity map is fitted to obtain a smoothed thromboelastography map. The initial elasticity map can be fitted using four-parameter fitting, three-parameter fitting, or five-parameter fitting.

[0090] Thromboelastography (TEG) was obtained through the conversion and calculation of the aforementioned magnetic bead oscillation waveform data, realizing the function of detecting TEG using the magnetic bead method. This not only reduces costs but also improves the timeliness of detection. Furthermore, existing sample analyzers often have multiple channels capable of simultaneous detection, further enhancing the efficiency of detecting multiple samples. In addition, using the magnetic bead method for TEG detection allows for the simultaneous testing of multiple items to generate a single report; for example, the magnetic bead method can be used to detect coagulation parameters while simultaneously performing TEG detection.

[0091] like Figure 11 As shown, in one embodiment, the peak baseline and trough baseline of the first derivative are calculated based on the oscillation waveform data of the magnetic bead, including:

[0092] Step 1102: Perform first-order differentiation on the magnetic bead oscillation waveform data to obtain first-order derivative graphical data.

[0093] Among them, reference Figure 6 The image shown is a graphical schematic diagram of the oscillation waveform data of a magnetic bead in one embodiment. (Refer to...) Figure 7 This is the first-order derivative graphical data obtained by taking the first-order derivative of the oscillation waveform data of the magnetic bead.

[0094] Step 1104: Differentiate the first-order derivative graphical data to obtain the second-order derivative graphical data.

[0095] In order to obtain the peak and trough data in the first-order derivative graph data, the second-order derivative graph data is obtained by taking the derivative again based on the first-order derivative graph data.

[0096] Step 1106: Determine multiple peaks and multiple troughs in the first-order derivative graph data based on the second-order derivative graph data.

[0097] Specifically, the peaks and troughs in the first-order derivative graph data are determined using the extremum method based on the second-order derivative graph data. The maxima in the second-order derivative graph data are taken as troughs, and the minima are taken as peaks.

[0098] Step 1108: Determine the peak baseline of the first derivative based on multiple peaks, and determine the trough baseline of the first derivative based on multiple troughs.

[0099] Among them, after determining multiple peaks and troughs, the peak baseline is further determined based on the multiple peaks, and the trough baseline is further determined based on the multiple troughs.

[0100] The above process demonstrates how to determine the peak and trough baselines of the first derivative based on the second-order obtained graphical data. This method is simple to calculate and does not require complex calculations to determine the peak and trough baselines, thus improving the efficiency of thromboelastography generation.

[0101] In one embodiment, determining the peak baseline of the first derivative based on multiple peaks and the trough baseline of the first derivative based on multiple troughs includes: determining the endpoint of the peak baseline of the first derivative and extracting the peak baseline of the first derivative based on the endpoint of the peak baseline of the first derivative; determining the endpoint of the trough baseline of the first derivative and extracting the trough baseline of the first derivative based on the endpoint of the trough baseline of the first derivative.

[0102] Extracting the peak baseline essentially involves determining its endpoint, since the starting point is already determined—the position of the first peak. Similarly, extracting the trough baseline also involves determining its endpoint, with the starting point being the position of the first trough. Determining the endpoints of the peak and trough baselines is crucial. Not all peak data obtained using the second-order derivative graphs mentioned above falls within the baseline range. After adding coagulation reagent, during the detection process, as the coagulation reaction occurs, the amplitude of the magnetic bead oscillation data decreases. After the coagulation time is reached, the amplitude becomes very small. Peaks and troughs after the coagulation time are not within the range for peak and trough baseline extraction. Therefore, it is necessary to find the endpoint of the peak and trough baselines, which corresponds to the coagulation time; that is, to find the coagulation time reached by the sample for baseline extraction.

[0103] In one embodiment, determining the endpoint of the first derivative peak baseline and extracting the first derivative peak baseline based on the endpoint of the first derivative peak baseline includes: calculating the mean of the first N peaks; when the value of the (N+1)th peak is less than a preset proportion of the mean of the first N peaks, the first N+1 peaks are taken as the endpoint of the first derivative peak baseline; and extracting the first derivative peak baseline based on the endpoint and starting point of the first derivative peak baseline, wherein the starting point of the first derivative peak baseline refers to the position of the first peak in the first derivative graph.

[0104] The determination of the endpoint of the peak baseline requires dynamic calculation. The average of the first two peaks is calculated sequentially, from smallest to largest N. The value of the third peak is compared with the average of the first two peaks. If the value of the third peak is not less than a preset percentage (e.g., 98%) of the average of the first two peaks, the average of the first three peaks is calculated again. Then, the value of the fourth peak is checked to see if it meets the above condition. This process continues until the value of the (N+1)th peak is found to be less than a preset percentage of the average of the first N peaks. The (N+1)th peak is then taken as the endpoint of the first-order derivative peak baseline. (Reference) Figure 8 The upper part is the extracted peak baseline.

[0105] In one embodiment, determining the endpoint of the first derivative's valley baseline and extracting the first derivative's valley baseline based on the endpoint of the first derivative's valley baseline includes: calculating the mean of the absolute values ​​of the first N valleys; when the absolute value of the (N+1)th valley is less than a preset proportion of the mean of the absolute values ​​of the first N valleys, the (N+1)th valley is taken as the endpoint of the first derivative's valley baseline; and extracting the first derivative's valley baseline based on the endpoint and starting point of the first derivative's valley baseline, wherein the starting point of the first derivative's valley baseline refers to the position of the first valley in the first derivative graph.

[0106] The determination of the endpoint of the trough baseline requires dynamic calculation. The average of the first two troughs is calculated sequentially, starting with the smallest N value. The value of the third trough is compared to the average of the first two troughs. If the value of the third trough is not less than a preset percentage (e.g., 98%) of the average of the first two troughs, the average of the first three troughs is calculated again. Then, the value of the fourth trough is checked to see if it meets the above condition. This process is repeated until the value of the (N+1)th trough is found to be less than a preset percentage of the average of the first N troughs. The (N+1)th trough is then taken as the endpoint of the first-order derivative trough baseline. (Reference) Figure 8 The lower part is the extracted trough baseline.

[0107] In one embodiment, determining the endpoint of the peak baseline of the first derivative and extracting the peak baseline of the first derivative based on the endpoint of the peak baseline of the first derivative includes: differentiating multiple peaks of the first derivative and taking the point with the fastest rate change as the endpoint of the peak baseline of the first derivative; differentiating multiple troughs of the first derivative and taking the point with the fastest rate change as the endpoint of the trough baseline of the first derivative.

[0108] During the detection process, as the coagulation reaction occurs, the amplitude of the magnetic bead oscillation data will become smaller and smaller. When the coagulation time is reached, the amplitude will suddenly become very small. Therefore, we can differentiate the multiple peaks of the first derivative and take the point with the fastest rate change as the endpoint of the peak baseline of the first derivative. Similarly, we can differentiate the multiple troughs of the first derivative and take the point with the fastest rate change as the endpoint of the trough baseline of the first derivative.

[0109] In one embodiment, the method of obtaining first-order derivative graphic data by performing first-order derivative on the magnetic bead oscillation waveform data includes: determining the amplitude pattern of the magnetic bead oscillation based on the magnetic bead oscillation waveform data; and performing first-order derivative on the amplitude pattern to obtain first-order derivative graphic data.

[0110] Before performing the first derivative, the amplitude graph of the magnetic bead oscillation waveform data is determined, that is, the magnetic bead oscillation waveform data is represented in the form of an amplitude graph. Then, the first derivative of the amplitude graph is performed to determine the first derivative graph data obtained after the derivative is obtained.

[0111] In one embodiment, fitting the initial elasticity map to obtain a thromboelastography map includes: fitting the initial elasticity map using a four-parameter fitting method to obtain the thromboelastography map, wherein the four parameters in the four-parameter fitting method are obtained experimentally.

[0112] The four-parameter fitting formula is as follows: F(x)=D+(AD) / (1+(x / C)^B), where A, B, C, and D are the four parameters, which are empirical values ​​obtained through experiments. x represents the independent variable (the coordinates of a point on the elasticity map), and F(x) represents the fitted result. The thromboelastography obtained by fitting the initial elasticity map with four parameters is smoother and closer to the actual situation, meaning the detection results are more accurate.

[0113] In addition, the magnetic bead method can also be used to detect heparinase. Traditional heparinase comparative testing is based on thromboelastography (TEG). This involves simultaneously testing the same whole blood sample using both a standard cup and a heparinase cup. The heparinase cup contains heparinase, which degrades heparin in the blood, unaffected by residual heparin. The standard cup does not contain heparinase. Kaolin is added to both samples to activate the coagulation process, and TEG records the clotting time (R time). The elastography curves from the standard cup and the heparinase cup are overlaid and compared. If they are similar, it indicates no heparin effect in the body, or that heparin treatment has not been effective. If the R time is significantly prolonged in the group without heparinase, it indicates that residual heparin in the body is affecting the coagulation process, or that resistance exists. Traditional heparinase comparative testing requires a specialized thromboelastography instrument, resulting in high costs. Furthermore, thromboelastography is slow and lacks timeliness, failing to meet the high-time requirements of emergency situations. Therefore, using the magnetic bead method for heparinase detection can solve the above problems, which not only improves timeliness but also greatly saves detection costs.

[0114] like Figure 12 As shown, a heparinase detection method based on magnetic beads is proposed and applied to a sample analyzer. The method includes:

[0115] Step 1202: The magnetic bead method is used to detect the sample containing heparinase. The first coagulation time corresponding to the sample with added heparinase is determined based on the collected first magnetic bead oscillation waveform data.

[0116] In one embodiment, a magnetic bead method is used to detect samples containing heparinase, an elasticity map is plotted based on the oscillation waveform data of the first magnetic bead, and the corresponding first clotting time is determined based on the elasticity map.

[0117] In another embodiment, it is not necessary to draw an elasticity diagram. Instead, the coagulation time point can be found directly by calculating based on the oscillation waveform data of the first magnetic bead, and then the corresponding first coagulation time can be determined.

[0118] The magnetic bead method for detecting heparinase allows for the use of either plasma or whole blood samples, providing greater flexibility and variety compared to traditional methods that only allow whole blood.

[0119] Step 1204: The magnetic bead method is used to test the samples that do not contain heparinase. The second coagulation time corresponding to the samples without heparinase is determined based on the collected second magnetic bead oscillation waveform data.

[0120] In this embodiment, as a comparison with heparinase detection, a magnetic bead method is used to detect samples that do not contain heparinase. An elasticity map or similar elasticity map is plotted based on the oscillation waveform data of the second magnetic bead, and the corresponding second clotting time is determined based on the elasticity map. In another embodiment, it is not necessary to plot an elasticity map; the clotting time point can also be found by calculation based on the oscillation waveform data of the second magnetic bead, i.e., the second clotting time can be determined.

[0121] It should be noted that the order of steps 1202 and 1204 can be interchanged, and they can also be performed simultaneously.

[0122] Step 1206: Determine the test result based on the first coagulation time and the second coagulation time.

[0123] Among them, comparing the first coagulation time and the second coagulation time, if they are similar, it means that there is no heparin effect in the body, or that heparin has not yet taken effect; if the coagulation time is significantly prolonged in the group without heparinase, it means that residual heparin in the body affects the coagulation process, or there is resistance, etc.

[0124] The aforementioned heparinase detection method based on magnetic beads uses magnetic beads to detect samples containing heparinase and samples without heparinase, respectively. It collects first and second magnetic bead oscillation waveform data. Then, it determines the first clotting time based on the first magnetic bead oscillation waveform data and the second clotting time based on the second magnetic bead oscillation waveform data. Finally, it compares the first and second clotting times to determine the detection result. This method does not require a dedicated thromboelastography instrument; it can be implemented using existing sample analyzers. The magnetic bead method is a common detection method in sample analyzers. Only the calculation method for determining the clotting time based on the magnetic bead oscillation waveform data needs to be added to the sample analyzer. This method not only significantly reduces costs but also greatly improves timeliness due to its simplicity.

[0125] In one embodiment, a magnetic bead method is used to detect samples containing heparinase, and the first clotting time corresponding to the sample containing heparinase is determined based on the collected first magnetic bead oscillation waveform data, including: plotting an image based on the first magnetic bead oscillation waveform data to obtain a first thromboelastography; and determining the corresponding first clotting time based on the first thromboelastography.

[0126] The magnetic bead method was used to detect samples that did not contain heparinase. The second coagulation time corresponding to the sample without heparinase was determined based on the collected second magnetic bead oscillation waveform data. This included: plotting the second magnetic bead oscillation waveform data to obtain a second thromboelastography; and determining the corresponding second coagulation time based on the second thromboelastography.

[0127] To determine clotting time, a thromboelastography (TEE) method is used. This involves plotting the TEE based on the waveform data of the magnetic bead oscillations, and then determining the corresponding clotting time based on the plotted TEE. Figure 13 The diagram shown is a schematic of a thromboelastography in one embodiment. Based on the characteristics of the thromboelastography, the clotting time can be determined from the diagram.

[0128] In one embodiment, a magnetic bead method is used to detect a sample containing heparinase. The first clotting time corresponding to the sample containing heparinase is determined based on the acquired first magnetic bead oscillation waveform data. This includes: controlling the sampling needle to aspirate the sample into a first magnetic bead reaction vessel; transferring the first magnetic bead reaction vessel to a reagent addition position; adding heparinase and a coagulation activator to the first magnetic bead reaction vessel at the reagent addition position; detecting the sample using the magnetic bead method at the magnetic bead detection position to acquire the first magnetic bead oscillation waveform data; and determining the corresponding first clotting time based on the first magnetic bead oscillation waveform data.

[0129] The magnetic bead method was used to detect samples that did not contain heparinase. The second coagulation time corresponding to the sample without heparinase was determined based on the collected second magnetic bead oscillation waveform data. The process included: controlling the sampling needle to aspirate the sample into the first magnetic bead reaction cup; transferring the first magnetic bead reaction cup to the reagent addition position; adding only the coagulation activator to the first magnetic bead reaction cup at the reagent addition position; detecting the sample using the magnetic bead method at the magnetic bead detection position and collecting the second magnetic bead oscillation waveform data; and determining the corresponding second coagulation time based on the second magnetic bead oscillation waveform data.

[0130] For comparison, the same sample was added to both the first and second magnetic bead reaction cups. Heparinase and a coagulation activator were added to the first cup, while only the coagulation activator was added to the second cup. Kaolin or similar materials can be used as the coagulation activator. After the reagents were added, as fibrin production increased, plasma viscosity increased, and the amplitude of the small steel beads' movement gradually decreased. The instrument, based on changes in the small steel bead movement sensed by another set of measuring coils, used software to convert the magnetic bead motion pattern into a thromboelastography-like pattern, comparing the coagulation time of the cups with and without heparinase.

[0131] In one embodiment, adding heparinase and coagulation activator to the first magnetic bead reaction vessel at the reagent addition site includes: adding heparinase to the first magnetic bead reaction vessel at the reagent addition site and mixing and incubating; adding coagulation activator to the first magnetic bead reaction vessel after mixing and incubation.

[0132] Among them, the magnetic bead method is used for heparinase detection. Ordinary magnetic bead reaction cups can be used, which is more convenient and cost-effective than the traditional method that requires special heparinase cups.

[0133] When performing heparinase testing, there is a specific order in which heparinase and coagulation activator are added. Heparinase is added first, and after mixing and incubation, the coagulation activator is added. This is because the coagulation reaction begins after the coagulation activator is added, and the coagulation activator is added later to facilitate timely detection of coagulation changes.

[0134] In one embodiment, the sample analyzer includes multi-channel detection and uses a magnetic bead method to perform parallel detection of samples with added heparinase and samples without added heparinase.

[0135] The sample analyzer includes multi-channel detection. To accelerate the detection speed, samples with added heparinase and samples without added heparinase are detected in parallel.

[0136] In one embodiment, the sample is plasma or whole blood.

[0137] The sample used for heparinase detection can be either plasma or whole blood, offering flexibility in selection. When using whole blood samples, the sample can be directly aspirated using a syringe for testing; that is, the sample provided from the beginning is whole blood. If a centrifuged whole blood sample is initially provided, it needs to be mixed thoroughly before aspirating the mixed whole blood sample.

[0138] In one embodiment, when the sample is whole blood, controlling the sampling needle to aspirate the sample and add it to the first magnetic bead reaction cup includes: controlling the sampling needle to mix the centrifuged whole blood sample and aspirating the mixed whole blood sample into the first magnetic bead reaction cup; controlling the sampling needle to aspirate the sample and add it to the second magnetic bead reaction cup includes: controlling the sampling needle to mix the centrifuged whole blood sample and aspirating the mixed whole blood sample into the second magnetic bead reaction cup.

[0139] If a centrifuged whole blood sample is provided, it needs to be mixed before aspiration to obtain a whole blood sample.

[0140] like Figure 14 As shown, in one embodiment, a thromboelastography detection device based on the magnetic bead method is proposed, the device comprising:

[0141] The detection module 1402 is used to detect the sample using the magnetic bead method when the item to be detected includes elasticity map detection, and to obtain magnetic bead oscillation waveform data.

[0142] The generation module 1404 is used to draw an elasticity map based on the magnetic bead oscillation waveform data to generate a thrombus elasticity map.

[0143] In one embodiment, when the elastogram detection included in the test item is a first type of elastogram detection, the sample is a whole blood sample, and the thromboelastogram is a first type of thromboelastogram; when the elastogram detection included in the test item is a second type of elastogram detection, the sample is a plasma sample, and the thromboelastogram is a second type of thromboelastogram.

[0149] In one embodiment, when the items to be tested include more than just the elastogram detection, the device further includes: a merging module, used to obtain the detection results of other items besides the elastogram detection, and generate a detection report based on the detection results of the other items and the thromboelastogram.

[0162] In one embodiment, the baseline calculation module is further used to calculate the mean of the first N peaks. When the value of the (N+1)th peak is less than a preset proportion of the mean of the first N peaks, the (N+1)th peak is taken as the endpoint of the peak baseline of the first derivative, where N is a positive integer. The peak baseline of the first derivative is extracted based on the endpoint and the starting point of the peak baseline of the first derivative. The starting point of the peak baseline of the first derivative refers to the position of the first peak in the first derivative graph.

[0163] The baseline calculation module is also used to calculate the mean of the absolute values ​​of the first N troughs. When the absolute value of the (N+1)th trough is less than a preset proportion of the mean of the absolute values ​​of the first N troughs, the (N+1)th trough is taken as the endpoint of the first derivative trough baseline, where N is a positive integer.
