Point-of-care testing (POCT) of blood glucose has been widely used for continuous monitoring of glucose in clinic due to high sensitivity, convenience, accessibility and shorter TAT.It has been developed rapidly in recent years. But glucose POCT is often out of control and management from central laboratory and usually it was performed by non-laboratorians.It becomes the growing concerns that how to avoid the discrepancy between POCT results and central laboratory results, how to ensure POCT quality of each batch of blood glucose results, how to solve issues in the application and ensure that patients' results are accurate and reliable. The hospital should put the POCT management under the whole management system and improve the accuracy of POCT to achieve the complete quality assurance. This article introduced the management program experiences of glucose POCT in Huashan hospital according to the JCI accreditation and CAP-LAP.

Objective To explore the effect of recombinant pEGFP-N3-APC vectors carrying various APC functional domains on the expression of β-catenin in human colorectal cancer cells HT-29.Methods The recombinant plasmids were transfected into HT-29 cells mediated by lipofectamine~(TM) 2000, and detected by green fluorescence and RT-PCR. Western blot was applied to detect β-catenin expression level in HT-29 cells after transfection, and gray scales of electrophoresis strips were analyzed by SPSS 13.0.Results Green fluorescence and RT-PCR made clear that all 5 recombinant plasmids were successfully expressed in HT-29 cells. Western blot showed that β-catenin expression level in HT-29 cells was not affected after being transfected with pEGFP-N3-APC1, pEGFP-N3-APC2 and pEGFP-N3-APC3, and was distinctly affected after being transfected with pEGFP-N3-APC4 and pEGFP-N3-APC5, especially the later one. Conclusion The selected APC5 gene fragment with 15-amino acid repeats and SAMP repeats, which is relatively short, can degrade β-catenin level in HT-29 cells and may be applied in the gene therapy.

Objective Previous study showed that the histopathological basis of visual function damage caused by optical nerve injury is apoptosis of retinal ganglion cells(RGCs). This procedure is regulated by P53, bax and caspase 3 genes. Present study aimed to observe the expression of bax, P53 and caspase 3 mRNA in RGCs after traumatic optic nerve damage in the rats by SYBR green I fluorescence quantitative PCR method. Methods The animal model of optic nerve injury was established in the right eyes of 56 adult Wistar rats by a fluid percussion brain injury device (FPI) . Animal were killed on days 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 14, 28 days separately after injury. Other 16 Wistar rats were divided into normal control group and sham operation group. The total RNA was isolated from rat fresh retina tissue by Trizol method and was treated by reverse transcription to cDNA using 01igo(dt) 18 as primer and then amplified. The target fragments of bax, P53 and caspase 3 cDNA were linked with carrier pTZ57 R/T to construct recombined plasmids which were transformated to E. Coli DH5α by T/A clone method. Recombined plasmids were extracted with alkaline lysis method and the plasmids were selected in white colonies by ampicillin screening, EcoR I restrictive enzyme analysis, and their specificity was evaluated using DNA sequencing. The standard curves were created by plasmid DNA and the precise expression level of target genes in samples were determined using software. The results were expressed as the ratios of target gene mRNA to GAPDH mRNA. Results The standard curve drawn by pTZ57R/T and target gene presented a good linear tendency with the higher sensitivity and specificity. The expression of P53 and bax mRNA began to increase on the third day after the injury of optic nerve and peaked on the fifth day and started to decline on the seventh day. The expression of caspase 3 mRNA increased from the fifth day through the ninth days after injury and declined on the fourteenth day. The significant differences were found in the expression of P53, bax and caspase 3 between model group and control group (P < 0. 05) . Conclusion The pro-apoptotic protein P53, bax and caspase 3 play an important role in RGCs apoptosis.
