Objective The present study is to investigate the influence of vaginal discharge on dry chemistry determination of leukocyte esterase in female urine.Methods Collected 20 and 30 normal vaginal discharge samples.Which humoral routine test degree were Ⅰ and Ⅱ correspondingly,and then analyze leukocyte esterase and squamous epithelial cells in these normal vaginal discharge samples.Collected normal vaginal discharge samples again and isolate the vaginal squamous epithelial cells from those normal vaginal discharge samples.Made two concentration of squamous epithelial cell suspension liquid (20/μl and 60/μl)and added these liquid.To normal female urine and analyze the drying chemical leukocyte esterase in those urine. Cleaned the vulva of those patients with normal leukocyte counts in urine sediment determination,whose dry chemical deter-mination of leukocyte esterase was strong positive,perform the routine urine test with her middle urine.Results The results of the determination of leukocyte esterase in normal vaginal discharge samples were 66.7% positive.And there were ~squamous epithelial cells in all samples (microscopy).No significant difference was observed in the examination of dry chem-istry leukocyte esterase among the normal female urine group,low (20/μl)and high (60/μl)concentrations of squamous epi-thelial cell urine group (P >0.05).The counts of squamous epithelial cells and the rate of positive and intensity of dry chem-ical leukocyte esterase in the middle of second urine were significantly lower than before,and the differences are statistically significant (P <0.05).But there was no significant difference for leukocytes counts.Conclusion Urine squamous epithelial cells had no influence on the detection of leukocyte esterase by dry chemistry.However,the leukocyte esterase in the vaginal discharge greatly influenced the examination of the leukocyte esterase in urine.

Objective To analyze the relevance between the point-of-care testing (POCT) and routine test in BNP testing .Meth-ods The whole blood samples or plasma samples from 40 inpatients were detected brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) by the Alere Triage? MeterPro fluorescence immunoassay analyzer (POCT ) or the Beckman Coulter Access ?2 chemiluminescence analyzer (routine test) ,respectively .The acquired data were subjected to comparative analysis according to the CLCS EP 9-A2 .Results The linear regression of the BNP content in the blood samples detected by POCT and the routine test was good ,the correlation coeffi-cient(r) was 0 .999 7 .Conclusion POCT and the routine test have good correlation in BNP testing .POCT for BNP testing has higher reliability and is applicable for clinical detection .

Objective To investigate commence time of liver specific phase on Sonazoid contrastenhanced ultrasound.Methods Rats were administrated with saline (n =6),SonoVue (n =24) and Sonazoid(n =24),respectively.Liver perfusion was performed at 2 min,5 min,10 min and 20 min in situ.Changes of liver enhancement caused by perfusion were quantitatively analyzed.Results Degree of liver enhancement without administration of contrast agent increased after perfusion.In SonoVue group,liver enhancement decreased after perfusion at 2 min and 5 min and increased at 10 min and 20 min significantly.In Sonazoid group,liver enhancement decreased dramatically at 2 min after perfusion,but no changes were found at 5 min,10 min and 20 min after perfusion.Conclusions Liver specific phase on Sonazoid CEUS can begin as early as 5min after administration of contrast agent.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between serum anti phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA 2R) antibody level and the condition and prognosis of patients with primary membranous nephropathy (PMN).Methods:61 patients who were diagnosed as PMN in the laboratory department of Jiangsu Province Hospital of Chinese Medicine from January 2017 to August 2019 were selected and divided into PLA 2R positive group (41 cases) and PLA 2R negative group (20 cases) according to the level of PLA 2R antibody. The gender, age and other general data of the two groups were collected, and the clinical pathological characteristics and prognosis of the two groups were analyzed. Spearman correlation was used to analyze the correlation between the level of PLA 2R antibody and the disease condition and treatment prognosis.Results:The levels of estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), total protein (TP) and albumin (ALB) in PLA 2R positive group were lower than those in PLA 2R negative group, while the levels of 24-h urinary protein and IgG4 were higher in PLA 2R positive group than that in PLA 2R negative group ( P<0.05); Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that 24-hour urinary protein was an independent risk factor for PLA 2R antibody level ( OR=2.242, P<0.05), while TP and ALB levels were protective factors ( OR=0.840, 0.674, P<0.05); The patients in both groups were followed up for one year by rechecking serological indexes. The complete remission rate and total remission rate of PLA 2R positive group were lower than those of PLA 2R negative group ( P<0.05); Spearman correlation analysis showed that the level of PLA 2R antibody was negatively correlated with the levels of TP, ALB, and prognosis of patients ( r=-0.642, -0.547, -0.357, P<0.05), and positively correlated with the level of 24-hour urinary protein ( r=0.347, P<0.05). PLA 2R in renal tissue of 61 patients was found to be positive in 63.93% (39/61). Conclusions:The level of PLA 2R antibody is closely related to serum albumin, TP, 24 h urinary protein and prognosis of patients with PMN.

Objective To establish and optimize an automatic review system for eight report items of infectious disease in clinical labo-ratory.Methods According to AUTO-15 issued by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)and WS/T 616-2018 is-sued by the National Health Commission of China,an automatic review rule system for eight test results of infectious disease was estab-lished based on middleware(infinity)and laboratory information management system(LIS).The automatic review and judgment for the eight test results of infectious disease were carried out by using six rules:quality control,specimen status,instrument alarm,gray area range,conventional mode,and historical data comparison(Delta check).The effectiveness of the automatic review system was verified by comparing the manual results with the automatic reviews,and the test system was further optimized for validating to achieve the automatic review for the eight test items.Results An automatic review rule system consisting of six function parts(quality control,specimen status,instrument alarm,gray area range,conventional mode,and historical data comparison)was established.The sensitiv-ity and specificity of the automatic review rule system were 87%and 95%,respectively,and the positive and negative predictive values were 88%and 95%,respectively.After the manual results was adjusted with the established automatic review rules system,the approv-al rate of the eight report items of infectious disease increased from 39%to 85%in 2022,the turnaround time(TAT)time was short-ened from 209(52,215)min to 141(83,149)min,and the number of reviewers was reduced from 2 to 1.The error rate of abnormal test reports of positive results,including hepatitis B five indexes,HIV,and TP issued by the instruments was reduced to 0.04%.Con-clusion The automatic review system for eight report items of infectious disease could greatly reduce the workload of reviewers,short-en TAT,and decrease the risk of reporting errors.
