Objective To investigate the intra-laboratory turnaround time(ILTAT) of the emergency biochemistry tests and to analyze the factors influencing ILTAT in order to adopt the corresponding improvement measures for perfecting the service quality and ensuring the patient medical safety.Methods ILTAT of the emergency biochemical specimens in our hospital from June to November 2015 was performed the retrospective statistics for comparing the determination timely rate between ILTAT≤60 min and ILTAT2 ≤120 min.ILTAT at different time periods in laboratory was emphatically analyzed.Results The determination timely rate of ILTAT ≤120min(ILTAT 1) was 98.8%(8638/8743),and which of ILTAT ≤60min(ILTAT 2) was 83.7%(7317/8743).The determination timely rate of ILTAT1 had no statistical difference among different time periods (χ2=3.36,P>0.05).The determination timely rate of ILTAT2 had statistical difference among different time periods(χ2=134.5,P<0.01).The determination timely rate of T 2(10:01-12:00) was highest (88.1%),which of T1 (8:01-10:00) was lowest(76.8%),which of T3(12:01-14:00) and T7 (6:01-8:00) was lower (79.4% and 80.2% respectively).Conclusion At present,ILTAT in our laboratory meets the requirements of the current regulations.Analyzing the ILTAT influencing factors in the emergency biochemistry,optimizing the workflow,improving the equipments and staffing allocation and improving the degree of information processing can further shorten the emergency biochemical ILTAT,and better meet the clinical and patient′s needs.

Objective:To investigate the phenotype and function of the intestinal γδT lymphocytes in post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome mouse model. Methods:The mouse model for post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome was established by the infection with trichinella spiralis. The intestinal inflammation,abdominal withdrawal reflex( AWR) and colon transportation test were observed. 2 and 8 weeks later,the animals were sacrificed and the lymphocytes in the intestinal lymph nodes and spleen were collected,from which the γδT lymphocytes were isolated and purified by monoclonal antibody-immuno-microbeads method. The functions of the purified γδT lymphocytes were evaluated,including proliferation by 3 HTdR;CD69,CD62L molecule staining by flow cytometry. Furthermore,the con-centration of cytokine IL-17 and IFN-γ in the supernatant of the cultured γδT lymphocytes were detected by ELISA. Results: At 2nd weeks after infection,significant intestinal inflammation was observed,with increasingγδT lymphocytes,proliferating and activating with increasing production of IL-17. At 8th weeks after infection, the intestinal inflammation disappeared, whereas the number of γδT lymphocytes remained increasing,also with proliferating and activating with increasing production of IL-17. Meanwhile,the mice show higher AWR score and Bristol score. Conclusion: γδT lymphocytes could participate in the pathogenesis of PI-IBS via their proliferation,activation and production of IL-17.

Objective To investigate the expression change of cytokines in peripheral blood and intestinal mucosa in the patients with diarrhea post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome(PI-IBS) and its relation with clinical symptoms scores.Methods Thirty outpatients and inpatients with diarrhea PI-IBS(observation group) and contemporaneous 30 individuals undergoing physical examination(control group) in the Hainan Provincial People's Hospital from January to December 2013 were selected.The peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC) were separated and cultured.Then the levels of IFN-y and IL-10 in peripheral blood and cell culture supernatant fluid were detected by ELISA.The colonic mucosal tissue was taken by coloscopy.Then colonic mucosal IFN-γ and IL-10 protein expression was detected by immunohistochemistry staining.Furthermore,the correlationship between the level change of IFN-γ and IL-10 with clinical symptom score was analyzed by using the Spearman correlation method.Results Peripheral blod IL-10 and IFN-γ levels had no statistical difference between the two groups(P>0.05).Compared with the control group,in PBMC seperation and cuture,the IFN-γ level in the observation group was increased and IL-10 level was decreased,the difference was statistically signifieant(P<0.01).The intestinal main symptom score in the observation group had the positive correlation with IFN-γ expression level of PBMC culture supernatant fluid and colonic mucosal IFN-γ expression level(r=0.45,0.94,P<0.01),and had the negative correlation with IL-10 expression level(r=-0.52,-0.79,P<0.01).Conclusion The unbalance of IFN-γ and IL-10 level could be involved in the pathogenesis of diarrhea PI-IBS,which can serve as the observation indicators of disease activity.
