Objective:To Investigate comprehensive predictive ability of first-trimester complete blood count combined with maternal characteristics for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Methods:From May 2015 to July 2018, 1 412 pregnant women were retrospectively screened at the Fifth People′s Hospital of Shanghai, Fudan University. We recruited 258 women who developed GDM and 1 154 women who had normal glucose level during pregnancy. At the first visit, clinical data and complete blood count result were obtained. GDM prediction models were established through logistic regression analysis of GDM related risk factors and the prediction abilities of each model were compared.Results:Logistic regression analyses identified age, pre-pregnancy body mass index, previous GDM history, family history of diabetes mellitus, the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, leukocyte, neutrophil, and monocyte counts were significantly independent predictors of GDM. In the entire cohort, the predictive ability of neutrophil and monocyte counts together with maternal basal characteristics model for the development of GDM [areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC)=0.809, integrated discrimination improvement (IDI)=0.056, P=0.001] was the best among various models (basal characteristics model, AUC-ROC=0.753; Monocyte count+ basal characteristics model, AUC-ROC=0.764; neutrophil count + basal characteristics model, AUC-ROC=0.775). Similar results obtained by the same way in all pregnant women without previous GDM history. Conclusion:It could improve the prediction of GDM with model incorporated maternal characteristics and first-trimester neutrophil and monocyte counts.

【Objective】 To establish a reasonable and effective blood screening strategy for Hepatitis C virus (HCV), so as to reduce the risk of blood transfusion transmission, ensure blood safety and improve the quality of blood screening. 【Methods】 In order to evaluate HCV screening strategies comprehensively, the unqualified blood donations due to anti-HCV alone positivity in Dalian from 2017 to 2021 was tracked, with combined detection methods of electro-chemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) and HCV-RNA nucleic acid test (NAT). 【Results】 A total of 851 (0.20%) unqualified donations due to anti-HCV alone positivity were screened from 2017 to 2021, with a decreasing trend in both numbers and rate. Among them, the unqualified rate of samples with anti-HCV reactivity in both dural-ELISA-reagent and NAT decreased significantly (P<0.05). A total of 117(0.028%) samples were anti-HCV reactive in dural-ELISA-reagent but nonreactive in NAT; 664 reactive in one-ELISA-reagent, with 70(10.54%) in Reagent Ⅰ and 594(89.46%) in Reagent Ⅱ; 122 (35.88%) out of 340 donations were reactive in ECLIA. Among the 28 participants in the follow-up test, 15 still were reactive in ELISA and 2 reactive in ECLIA. 【Conclusion】 Although the unqualified rate of HCV is decreasing, serological screening of anti-HCV is still an important method for ensuring blood safety, and its complementarity with HCV-RNA NAT should be evaluated. As a new serological assay, ECLIA has high sensitivity and specificity. Miss detection may occur if only one ELISA reagent is adopted for anti-HCV detection. Appropriate ELISA and NAT system for HCV screening should be reasonably chosen, and HCV screening strategy should be developed and adjusted according to the local conditions.

【Objective】 To investigate whether the current retention methods in blood stations can fully meet the traceability requirements of blood test results by analyzing the traceability of retained samples for syphilis antibody testing. 【Methods】 Thirty-four one-assay-positive deep-well plate retention samples, 68 double-assay-positive deep-well plate retention samples and 263 negative retention blood braids and corresponding deep-well plate retention samples that expired retention period for syphilis antibody testing from 2014 to 2020 in our center were collected. The TP-ELISA assays of two manufacturers were used for retesting, and the results were recorded and compared with the original results statistically. 【Results】 The concordance rate of the double-assay-positive and single-assay-positive samples with their corresponding deep-well plate samples was 98.53%(67/68) and 67.65%(23/34), respectively(P<0.05). Specific results for single-assay-positive syphilis antibody samples and their corresponding deep-well plate retention samples were as follows: 1) Single positive (reagent A): 13 out of 14 original samples were 0.65
