Objective To improve the quality of the clinical hematologic examination laboratories in national free preconception health examination project by using randomized blind sample test in the external quality assessment (EQA ) schemes .Methods Blind samples for clinical hematologic examination were prepared as higher ,middle ,lower three levels .Samples were dispensed in u‐nified way which included 4 times conventional EQA and in random way which included 1 time blind sample test .Samples will be tested by Clinical hematologic examination laboratories in national free preconception health examination project .The feedback re‐sults were summarized and analyzed by EQA organizer .Results In 4 times of conventional EQA ,the rates of accepted score of 134 laboratories were 72 .4% ,97 .8% ,97 .0% and 98 .5% respectively .The rates of accepted score in last three times were statistically significant higher than that in the first time(P<0 .05) .However ,the rates of accepted score (84 .3% ) in randomized blind sample test were significant lower than that(97 .0% ) in conventional EQA which was conducted at the same time(P<0 .05) .Conclusion The use of randomized blind sample test may help the EQA organizer to find the problems in laboratories participated EQA and find effective way to improve the quality of the laboratories .

_ Objective_ To analyze the relationship between the fasting plasma glucose ( FPG ) of pre-pregnancy women and occurrence of gestational diabetes mellitus( GDM) , and to explore the value of risk evaluation of GDM by lowerling cut-point for impaired fasting glucose ( IFG ) . Methods The general clinic check information before pregnancy, the plasma glucose levels during 24-28 weeks of pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes were collected prospectively in Weifang and Zhucheng Maternal and Child Health Hospital between February 2014 and November 2014. The FPG levels of the recruited women were lower than 6. 1 mmol/L. According to the criteria for GDM of Ministry of Health (MOH)of China in 2011, and based on the results of 75 g oral glucose tolerance test, pregnant women who underwent screening for GDM were recruited and separated into normal group and GDM group. Based on the FPG levels before pregnancy and according to the recommendation as American Diabetes Association ( ADA ) suggested in 2003, recruited women with normal FPG level according to World Health Organization ( WHO) criteria (1999)were divided into 5. 6-6. 1 mmol/L and<5. 6 mmol/L groups. Results Among the child-bearing age women with FPG<6. 1 mmol/L, the incidences of GDM and macrosomia were 19. 2% and 8. 2% respectively. In the group with FPG between 5. 6 and 6. 1 mmol/L, incidences of GDM and macrosomia were 34. 2% and 4. 7%respectively. While in the group with FPG<5. 6 mmol/L, incidences of GDM and macrosomia were 13. 2% and 15. 3% respectively. The risks of GDM and macrosomia were increased by 2. 6 times and 3. 3 times respectively in group with FPG between 5. 6 and 6. 1 mmol/L (34. 5%), compared with that in group with FPG<5. 6 mmol/L(P<0. 01). Age, FPG, and body mass index before pregnancy in GDM group were significantly higher than those in normal group. The receiver operating characteristic curves in predicting GDM showed that the optimum cut-points for age, FPG, and body mass index were 30 years old, 5. 55 mmol/L, and 23. 7 kg/m2 respectively. Conclusions The risk of GDM in childbearing aged women with FPG from 5. 55 to 6. 10 mmol/L was markedly increased. The optimum cut-point for FPG (5. 55 mmol/L) in predicting GDM was close to the low limit for IFG (5. 6 mmol/L) suggested by ADA in 2003. Decreasing the lower limit of IFG to 5. 6 mmol/L among women who checked before pregnancy and paying attention to those women with FPG from 5. 6 to 6. 1 mmol/L would have advantage to the evaluation and prevention of GDM.

Objective To evaluate the value of modified calcofluor white fluorescent staining in the histopathological diagnosis of subcutaneous mycosis,in order to provide a new method for histopathological diagnosis of subcutaneous mycosis.Methods A total of 21 lesional skin tissues were collected from patients with subcutaneous mycosis in the Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical University between 1987 and 2017,and embedded in paraffin.Then,each paraffin-embedded tissue section was cut into 4 4-μm-thick serial sections,and subjected to modified calcofluor white fluorescent staining,hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining,periodic acid Schiff (PAS) staining and Gomori methenamine silver nitrate (GMS) staining respectively.Positive rates and staining outcomes were compared among the above staining methods.Statistical analysis was carried out with SPSS 19.0 software by using chi-square test for comparing the positive rates among the above 4 staining methods.Results Of 21 patients with fungal infections,14 (66.67％) were positive for modified calcofluor white fluorescent staining,5 (23.80％) for HE staining,6 (28.57％) for PAS staining,and 11 (52.38％) for GMS staining.The positive rate by modified calcofluor white fluorescent staining was significantly higher than that by HE staining and PAS staining (x2 =6.718,5.200,respectively,both P ＜ 0.05),while no significant difference was observed between the modified calcofluor white fluorescent staining and GMS staining (x2 =0.693,P =0.530).Conclusion The modified calcofluor white fluorescent staining is an accurate method for detecting fungi,and has a certain application value in the histopathological diagnosis of subcutaneous mycosis.
