Objective To evaluate the analytical performance of Mindray BS‐820 automatic biochemical analysis system used in primary hospitals in Guangzhou area for verifying whether its performance meeting the clinical requirements .Methods Accord‐ing to the EP5‐A2 ,EP6‐A ,EP7‐A2 and EP‐17A files recommended by CLSI and the Pharmaceutical Industry Standard of the Peo‐ple′s Republic of China YY/T0654‐2008 ,the precision ,linear rang ,anti‐interference capability ,sensitivity and carry‐over rate of the Mindray BS‐820 automatic biochemical analysis system were evaluated by adopting 16 routine biochemical items .Results The pre‐cision results of all 16 analyzing items conducted by the Mindray BS‐820 automatic chemical analysis system conformed to the re‐quirements .The results of 15 items showed good linear relation during the testing range (r≥0 .997 9) .In 16 biochemical items ,the anti‐interference capability of TBIL ,TP ,TC ,TG ,LDL ,HDL ,UREA and Ca to bilirubin ,triglyceride and hemoglobin conformed to or were higher than the anti‐interference capability declared by manufacturer ,but among other 8 items ,the anti‐interference capabil‐ity of 3 items was lower than that declared by manufacturer .The limit of blank(LOB) of all 16 analyzing items was less than LOB in the kit instruction .The carry‐over rate of Glu was 0 .02% ,less than 0 .50% .Conclusion This instrument has good precision , sensitivity and low carry‐over rate(0 .02% ) ,the linear range is ideal ,r≥0 .997 9 ,the anti‐interference capability basically satisfies the clinical needs .Therefore this instrument is suitable for the use in the middle‐small scale laboratory department .

Objective To investigate the effect of intermittent fasting on metabolize and gut microbiota in obese presenium rats fed with high-fat-sugar-diet. Methods We fed the Wistar rats with high-fat and high-sugar diet to induce adiposity, and the rats for intermittent fasting were selected base on their body weight. The rats were subjected to fasting for 72 h every 2 weeks for 18 weeks. OGTT test was performed and fasting blood samples and fecal samples were collected for measurement of TC, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C and sequence analysis of fecal 16S rRNA V4 tags using Illumina. Gut microbial community structure was analyzed with QIIME and LEfSe. Results After the intervention, the body weight of the fasting rats was significantly lower than that in high-fat diet group (P<0.01). OGTT results suggested impairment of sugar tolerance in the fasting group, which showed a significantly larger AUC than compared with the high-fat diet group (P<0.05). Intermittent fasting significantly reduced blood HDL-C and LDL-C levels (P<0.05) and partially restored liver steatosis, and improved the gut microbiota by increasing the abundance of YS2, RF32 and Helicobacteraceae and reducing Lactobacillus, Roseburia, Erysipelotrichaceae and Ralstonia. Bradyrhizobiaceae was found to be positively correlated with CHOL and HDL-C, and RF39 was inversely correlated with the weight of the rats. Conclusion Intermittent fasting can decrease the body weight and blood lipid levels and restore normal gut microbiota but can cause impairment of glucose metabolism in obese presenium rats.
