Objective To improve the serum quality controlling level ,in order to regularize and standardize the laboratory processes .Methods Gallery of hemolysis ,lipidemia or icterus serum specimens was established by Roche cobas p612 QSI camera system .The trouble serum specimens were screened out through taking photos of interfere serum and comparing with the gallery . The serum indexes of hemolysis ,lipidemia and icterus were detected respectively as reference information of inspection report .Com‐paring the results of 16 710 specimens detected by system screening and visual judgment ,the accuracy of QSI camera system was verified .Results 195 trouble serum pictures were elected in the gallery .The compliance rates of hemolysis ,lipidemia and icterus se‐rum specimen between QSI camera system and visual judgment were 94 .2% ,87 .4% ,and 60 .9% respectively .Conclusion The QSI camera system can replace visual judgment to screen the trouble serum specimens .

Objective    To evaluate the prognosis of different node status on the basis of the eighth TNM classification for lung cancer. Methods    We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 1 851 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who underwent radical resection between January 2005 and December 2014. There were 1 078 males and 773 females at age of 16–86 (59.7±9.7) years. Survival probability was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and significance was assessed by the log-rank test. Results    This cohort study was consisted of 1 209 patients with N0, 305 with N1 and 337 with N2. N0 patients were divided into a N0a group and a N0b group according to whether the 13 and 14 level of lymph nodes were examined. The survival rate of the N0a group was significantly higher than that of the N0b group, and the 5-year survival rate was 88.9% and 81.3% (P<0.001), respectively. According to the number of lymph node metastasis stations, N1 was divided into a N1a (single) group and a N1b (multiple) group. And no significant difference was observed between the two groups in survival rate (P=0.562). Based on the presence of lymph nodes of 10–12 level, N1 was divided into a negative group and a positive group. And the negative group was found with significantly higher survival rate than the positive group (5-year survival rate of 78.4% vs. 64.3%, P=0.007). The N2 patients were divided into a single station metastasis group (a N2a1 group), a single station with N1 positive group (a N2a2 group) and a multiple station group (a N2b group), and the percentage was accounted for 22.0% (74/337), 37.7% (127/337) and 40.3% (136/337), respectively. There was a statistical difference in 5-year survival rate (62.2% vs. 56.5% vs. 37.3%) among the three groups (P=0.001). Conclusion    Subgroup analysis of N staging in NSCLC patients shows significant survival differences which may be more consistent with multidisciplinary therapy under precise staging patterns.
