Flow cytometric immunophenotyping has evolved from two-parameter quantitative measurement of peripheral blood lymphocytes to five-or more parameter qualitative evaluation of bone marrow and lymph node in hematopathology.Leukemia/lymphoma immunophenotyping represents an important addition to histomorphology in the diagnosis,classification and monitoring of hematolymphoid neoplasms.The complexity of five-or more parameter analyses and the interpretation of the data rely on standardization and validation of the instrument,the reagent and the procedure.In addition,clinical flow cytometry laboratories in U.S.A are required to document proficiency testing,sample preparation as well as accuracy,specificity,sensitivity and precision of methodology.CLSI and UCCC recommend that each laboratory should validate its own qualitative and quantitative procedures.This paper introduces the procedures for validation and quality control in a clinical flow cytometry laboratory in the United States.

Objective To analyze the quality of life(QOL) of gastric cancer patients who underwent different types of gastrectomy and digestive tract reconstruction procedures.Methods Among the patients who(underwent) gastrectomy in our department over a period of 4 years,61 cases that survived for more than 2 years were analyzed for QOL using 14 parameters.The 61 cases included 13 cases of proximal subtotal(gastrectomy) and esophagogastrostomy,18 cases of total gastrectomy and jejunal P pouch reconstruction,and 30 cases of total gastrectomy and double Braun type of jejunal reconstruction.Pouch emptying function in 12 patients with different types of reconstruction was determined in by Isotope ~(99m)TC scintigraphy.Results At 6 months after operation,the parameters showed no significant differences between the 3 groups.At 12 months after operation,the QOL of patients with double Braun-type reconstruction was superior to that of patients with P jejunal pouch and patients with esophagogastrostomy in intake time(P

Objective To validate the technique and to establish the reference values of triple stimulation technique(TST)in healthy Chinese adults.Methods One hundred healthy subjects were recruited to undergo TST from April 2010 to February 2011 in both abductor digiti minimi.The TST combines transcranial magnetic stimulation(TMS)of the motor cortex with peripheral collision studies.Three stimuli were given,leading to two collisions.A first magnetic stimulus was applied to the scalp overlying the motor cortex.After a delay,an electric stimulus was applied over the ulnar nerve at the wrist.The delay was chosen so that the action potentials descending from the cortex collided with the antidromic action potentials evoked at the wrist,with the collision site at the wrist and above.After another delay,another electrical stimulus was applied to Erb' s point.This delay was chosen so that ascending antidromic action potentials evoked by wrist stimulation collided at or distal to Erb' s point.At the same time,TST test curves were recorded.The TST test curve was compared with a TST control curve in which the first stimulus was applied to Erb' s point and the other two stimulus sites were the same as the test curve.Control stimuli were thus applied successively to Erb' s point,the wrist,Erb' s point.TST quantifies the number of conducting central motor neurons(expressed by the TST amplitude ratio).The values were compared among genders,age groups,arm length and sides respectively.Results The TST amplitude ratio(TSTteat/TSTcontrol)was 85.0％ ± 6.7％.There were no difference among genders,age groups,arm length and sides respectively.The TST amplitude ratio were 85.0％ ± 2.6％ and 85.0％ ± 8.7％,respectively in subjects with arm length 61-70 cm and 71-80 cm.Conclusion TST could be examined precisely and the normative value could be got.

Objective To explore ways for expanding the now-limited coagulation volume of percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy(PMCT) in liver in order to enhance the complete necrosis rate of large hepatic tumors with obviously fewer punctures. Methods Fresh pig livers in vitro and rabbit, pig livers in vivo with and without blood supply were coagulated using the self-designed HM-WIA microwave coagulator to make clear antenna length, microwave power, coagulation time and blood flow influence the microwave volume(MCV).Results The device enlarged the MCV by 3 times using single electrode with an antenna of 36 mm in length along with microwave power of 45-55 W and coagulation time of 15-19 min,the short axis of the coagulation area was 5.6 cm in vitro, 5.3 cm in vivo with no blood supply.The antenna 36 mm in length was proved the best in keeping the finest coagulation shape.The MCV was 2.8 times as large without blood supply as with it (P

Objective To investigate the effect of magnesium sulfate on epidural labor analgesia with ropivacaine in the patients with preeclampsia. Methods Seventy nulliparous parturients with pre?eclampsia, aged 23-34 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ, weighing 63-81 kg, with a singleton fetus in vertex presentation, without contradications to neuraxial anesthesia, waiting for vaginal delivery, received epidural analgesia for labor. The patients were divided into magnesi?um sulfate group and control group using a random number table, with 35 patients in each group. In magne?sium sulfate group, magnesium sulfate 50 mg∕kg ( 30 ml) was infused intravenously over 15 min when their cervical dilation was 3 cm, while the equal volume of normal saline was given in control group. Epi?dural labor analgesia was performed with ropivacaine. The up?and?down sequential allocation was used to determine the median effective concentration of epidural ropivacaine ( EC50 ) . The severity of pain was as?sessed with visual analogue scale score. Effective analgesia was defined as visual analogue scale score of≤1. The initial concentration of ropivacaine was 0.15%. Each time the concentration was increased∕decreased according to whether or not analgesia was effective, and the ratio between the two successive concentrations was 0.9. The EC50 and 95% confidence interval ( CI) of ropivacaine for epidural labor analgesia was calcu?lated. Results The EC50 (95% CI) of ropivacaine for epidural labor analgesia was 0.066% (0.062%-0.071%) in magnesium sulfate group. The EC50 (95% CI) of ropivacaine for epidural labor analgesia was 0.078% (0.072%-0.085%) in control group. The EC50 of ropivacaine was significantly lower in magnesi?um sulfate group than in control group ( P<0.05) . Conclusion Magnesium sulfate can enhance the effica?cy of ropivacaine for epidural labor analgesia in the patients with preeclampsia.

Objective To discuss the timing and methods of operative treatment of acetabular fractures of AO Type C (double- column fractures). Methods From February, 1999 to January, 2004, we treated operatively 46 cases of AO Type C acetabular fractures, including 23 cases of C- 1 type, 14 cases of C- 2 type, and 9 cases of C- 3 type. 15 cases were treated through ilioinguinal approach, 10 cases through improved Kocher- Langenbeck approach, and 21 cases through combined anterior and posterior approaches. There were 3 groups of patients according to the time from injury to operation: 15 cases got operation within 1st week after injury (Group A); 23 cases within 2nd week (Group B); 8 cases within/after 3rd week (Group C). All of them were checked with radiography and 3D CT scan before and after operation. Results 34 cases( 73.9% ) obtained anatomical reduction, 8 cases( 17.4% ) got imperfect reduction, and 4 cases( 8.7% ) had unsatisfactory reduction. All the patients were followed up for 1 year to 4 years, averaging 31 months. According to D' Aubigne and Postel Hip Score, joint function was rated as excellent in 32 cases( 69.6% ) , good in 5 cases( 10.9% ) , fair in 5 cases ( 10.9% ) and poor in 4 cases ( 8.7% ) . As far as reduction was concerned, there was a significant difference (P0.05). As far as joint function was concerned, there was a significant amelioration in Groups A and B compared with Group C (P0.05) between group A and Group B. Conclusions Good knowledge of AO classification of acetabular fractures combined with particular radiological data can result in correct diagnosis of Type C acetabular fractures. Operations should be carried out within 2 weeks after injury and efforts should be made to ensure anatomical reduction. To achieve good clinical results in treatment of Type C acetabular fractures, suitable approaches and correct reduction and internal methods are essential

Objective To analyze the causes, prevention and treatment measures for nerve palsy complications in artificial hip replacement. Methods A total of 413 consecutive hip replacements performed from January 1991 to December 2001 were retrospectively studied. There were three cases of nerve palsy with a prevalence of 0.73%. Among them, there were two cases of sciatic nerve palsy and one femoral nerve palsy. Results The causes for nerve palsy in these three cases were hypotension shock due to excessive anticoagulation against deep venous thrombosis, hematoma compression and unknown causes respectively. The neuronal function of three cases of nerve palsy was recovered at different degrees through correction of shock, clearance of hematoma and rehabilitation therapy. Conclusions The causes for nerve palsy complication during artificial hip replacement are direct or indirect traction, compression and ischemia. Understanding the etiology of nerve palsy to avoid the nerve injury, immediate and correct management play an important role in prevention and treatment of nerve palsy during artificial hip replacement.
