Objective To investigate whether lipids and reagents would interfere the results when serum total bile acid(TBA) was measured by enzymatic cycling assay.Methods The serum TBA was measured by enzymatic cycling assay.The carry-over contaminations of high density lipoprotein(HDL-C),low density lipoprotein(LDL-C),cholesterol(TC),and triglyceride(TG)rea-gents were evaluated.In order to reduce the interference and carry-over contaminations,different washing procedures and detection sequence were set.Results By measuring the levels of TBA in pooled serums with low and high levels of lipids,the results showed that there was statistically significant difference between the groups with and without the addition of cleaning process before and af-ter TBA measurement(P <0.01).Cleaning with water might be more effective on reducing interference than those with acid solu-tion.Moreover,the mean of TBA levels in HDL-C,TC,TG and LDL-C reagents were (476.06 ± 1.88 ),(127.78 ± 1.18 ), (121.05±1.08),and (2.23±0.51)μmol/L,respectively.The stability of TBA level was greatly affected by HDL-C regents,fol-lowing by TC and TG reagents,and was little affected by LDL-C reagent.Setting up proper detection sequence and flushing proce-dures could obviously reduce the interference(P <0.01),but not completely rule out.Conclusion Analysis sequence and flushing procedures of biochemical analyzer as well as exogenous substance from reagents may seriously affect the accuracy of determination results.To ensure the accuracy and reliability of the results,it is necessary not only to set up reasonable irrigation and reaction se-quence,but also to master the instrument operation,to know the principle of test reaction and the components of reagents as well as equipment maintenance.

?AIM:To evaluate the objective visual quality of patients who underwent corneal cross-linking for the keratoconus using double-pass analysis system.? METHODS: Advanced keratoconus patients who underwent UV - riboflavin corneal cross - linking from January to July 2015 were included. The outcomes of their objective scattering index ( OSI ) , predicted visual acuity ( VA ) , the cut - off frequency of modulation transfer function ( MTF cut- off ) , the Strehl ratio ( SR ) were compared before and 6mo after corneal cross-linking.?RESULTS: A total of 13 patients ( 16 eyes ) were included. There was no statistically significant difference between pre- and 6mo postoperative data in uncorrected visual acuity, best corrected visual acuity, refractions and mean value of Sim-k (P>0. 05). Non-invasive average tear film break up time ( NIAvg-BUT ) detected by the Sirius system decreased after corneal cross-linking ( P<0. 05 ) . Using double - pass analysis system, no statistically significant change was found in MTF cut off, Strehl Ratio, OSI before and after treatment(P>0. 05). Tear Film Analysis Mean OSI increased at 6mo postoperatively (P<0. 05).? CONCLUSION: The subjective visual quality isn’t effected by corneal cross-linking. The tear stabilities of patients are influenced by these operations at 6mo postoperatively. More observations on long-term effect are needed to be taken in the future.

Objective To study the feasibility and long-term effects in 173 infants with congenital ventricular septal defect who underwent transcatheter therapy by double-disk ventricular septal defect occluder. Methods We analyzed the clinical data of 173 infants with ventricular septal defect who were performed interventional therapy followed by a follow up study from December 2002 to October 2013. Results The procedure was performed in 173 infants (male = 81 cases and female = 92 cases) aged 11 month-3 years[(2.1±0.7)years]. The weight were 6-15 kg[(10.2±3.6)kg]. The diameter of the defects ranged from 2.5-9.0 mm[(5.1±1.7) mm]. The characteristics of septal were classiifed into four types:the simply perimembranous ventricular septal defects (88 patient,50.8%), the perimembranous ventricular septal defects with pseudoaneurysm (52 patients, 30.0%), the perimembranous ventricular septal defects complicated with aortic valve prolapse (13 patients, 7.5%), and the intracristal ventricular septal defect (20 patients, 11.7%). The diameter of the occluders were between 4-12 mm[(6.3±2.2)mm]. The period of follow-up ranged from 1 month-10 years[(6.2±1.3)years]. The 168 defects were completely occluded in 173 patients(97.1%closure rate) except 5 infants, which 3 patients because the occluder hinder the function of aortic valves and the other occurred complete atrioventricular block(CAVB) when the catheter through defect. One patient occurred CAVB on the third day after the procedure, was reversed by dexamethasone after 4 days. 3 patients with complete left bundle branch block(CLBBB) after the procedure and one went to sustained, but did not observed heart failure in this case during 5 years follow-up. One patient observed sustained CLBBB on the fourth year after the procedure, also did not observed heart failure in this case during 3 years follow-up. 8 patients with trivial residual shun and 4 patients with newly appearance of trivial aortic regurgitation after the procedure, the shun all disappear at one year and the regurgitation did not progress during longest follow-up period at 8.5 years. No other complications, including late-onset CAVB, hematolysis, the occluder displacement and detachment, occurred during 1 month-10 years of follow-up. Conclusions Transcatheter closure of congenital ventricular septal defects is an efifcient method that can be safely used in the majority of infants with ventricular septal defects and have signiifcant long-term effects.
