Objective To investigate the clinical value of serum (1-3)-β-D-glucan(BG) detection (G test) in early diagnosis of deep fungal infection .Methods 132 patients with suspected deep fungal infection in the Chongqing Emergency Medical Center from October 2015 to April 2016 were selected as the research subjects .Among them ,38 cases definitely diagnosed and suspected diagnosed deep fungal infection served as the positive group and other 94 cases were taken as the negative group .Serum BG level was measured by Jinshanchuan MB-80 microbial dynamic detection system ,and the results were compared with the fungal culture results by the body fluid fungal culture .Results The serum BG level of the positive group was (150 .8 ± 133 .2)pg/mL ,and which of the negative group was (25 .7 ± 20 .1)pg/mL ,the difference was statistically significant (t=5 .76 ,P<0 ,05) .The sensitivity ,specificity ,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of G test were 78 .9% ,85 .1% ,68 .1% and 91 .0% respectively ;the sensitivity ,specificity ,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of fungal culture were 57 .9% ,80 .9% ,52 .3% and 82 .6%respectively .Conclusion The serum BG detection is fast ,accurate ,simple and convenient ,and has clinical application value in the early diagnosis of deep fungal infection and clinical rational medication guidance .

【Objective】 To provide reference for formulating relatively unified quality control strategies and meeting the requirements of homogenization construction of blood banks across Chongqing area by retrospectively analyzing sampling results of different blood components during the past two years in all levels of blood banks in Chongqing area. 【Methods】 The key quality data of blood components prepared by 6 blood banks in Chongqing were analyzed retrospectively. According to the issuing units to the clinical during the past two years, the research objects were selected as leukocyte-depleted suspended RBCs, cryoprecipitate, pathogen inactivated fresh frozen plasma(FFP) and apheresis platelets. The quality data of the above-mentioned blood components from January 2019 to June 2021 were collected and analyzed. 【Results】 For leukocyte-depleted suspended RBCs(1U)prepared by 5 blood banks, statistically significant differences in Hb, residual white blood cells and hemolysis rate at the end of storage, except for Hct, were noticed(P<0.05). For cryoprecipitate, the content of blood coagulation factor Ⅷ and fibrinogen were statistically different among 3 blood banks in 1U specification(P<0.05) and among 5 blood banks in 2U specification(P<0.05). For pathogen inactivated FFP, the content of blood coagulation factor Ⅷ, plasma proteins, and residual methylene blue were statistically different among 3 blood banks(P<0.05). For apheresis platelets, Plt, white/red blood cells contamination and pH at the end of storage were statistically different among 3 blood banks(P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The quality data of blood components, prepared by different blood banks, meet the requirements of national standard, however, certain differences are existing among blood banks.Key points during the process of collection, preparation, storage and transportation need to be cleared and unified, so as to reduce the differences between each other, and determine the direction and basis for homogeneity construction in the next step.
