Objective To evaluate the clinical performance of INNOVANCE D-Dimer,and provide information for clinical application.Methods 402 cases of sodium citrate anticoagulant blood were tested with INNOVANCE assay and PLUS assay on CA7000 analyzer to measure plasma D-Dimer levels.VIDAS-30 immunology analyzer was also used to validate the two assays.4 patients with elevated D-Dimer were monitored continuously during 5 days using INNOVANCE assay and PLUS assay respectively,then the consistency of trend between 2 assays was analyzed.Plasma specimens added with hemoglobin,bilimbin and triglyceride were used to verify the anti-interference capability of INNOVANCE D-Dimer assay.Results In 402 specimens,the result ranges of INNOVANCE D-Dimer and PLUS D-Dimer were [2.15 (0.33,8.63)]mg/L FEU and [325.50 (123.75,974.00)] μ,g/L DDU,respectively.The consistency between two assays was poor (Z =-17.375,P =0.000),especially the results in the range of PLUS D-Dimer (201-300) μg/L DDU and (301-400) μg/L DDU,the coincidence rates were only 25% and 15%,respectively; the coincidence rate was up to 85% during PLUS D-Dimer (500-600) μg/L DDU; the coincidence rate was close to 100% when PLUS D-Dimer over 700 μg/L DDU.Totally 47 of 402 cases were unmatched between two assays.Verified by VIDAS 30,83.0% (39/47) was false negative for PLUS assay,4.3% (2/47) was false negative for INNOVANCE assay,12.7% (6/47) was false positive for PLUS assay.There were 5 false positives and 39 false negative for PLUS assay,totally 45 cases; Two false negative for INNOVANCE assay.Four patients with elevated D-Dimer were monitored and the results showed similar trend between 2 assays.For INNOVANCE assay,the capacity of anti-interference to free bilirubin,unconjugated bilirubin,hemoglobin,and triglyceride was up to 217 μmol/L,337 μmol/L,41.04 g/L,18.35 mmol/L,respectively.Conclusions INNOVANCE assay can markedly reduce false negative results of D-Dimer compared with PLUS assay.INNOVANCE D-Dimer has good performance on anti-interference to jaundice,hemolysis and lipemia samples.

As a novel,label-free and non-invasive detection modality,terahertz(THz,1THz=1012 Hz)spectroscopy has been widely used in various areas.For instance,in the biomedical field,it has great potentials to provide real-time scanning of living cells and tissues due to its unique advantages.Significant achievements have been reached in cell detection, related to bacterial identification, cancer cell characterization and blood cell detection.In tissue detection, the THz spectroscopy can be used to provide real-time scanning of living tissues and fast diagnosis.Furthermore, a single system which integrated THz spectroscopy and THz imaging would be able to collect information more sensitive and comprehensive. However,the clinical adaption of THz spectroscopy is still a controversial issue attributed to some intrinsic limitations and technical bottlenecks.In this article, both the application of THz spectroscopy in cell and tissue detection and the existing challenges and strategies to accelerate clinical applications were reviewed comprehensively.

Objective:To explore the effect of empowerment education in patients with coronary heart disease after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) .Methods:From June 2020 to July 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 90 patients with coronary heart disease who received PCI in the Department of Cardiology of Qinhuai Medical District, Eastern Theater Command General Hospital as the research object. The 45 patients admitted from June to December 2020 were set as the control group, and the 45 patients admitted from January to July 2021 were set as the observation group. The control group received routine health education, and the observation group was given empowerment education on this basis. The physical activity level and aerobic exercise endurance of the two groups of patients were compared.Results:Repeated measures analysis of variance showed that there were between-group, time and interaction effects in the 6-minute walking distance between the two groups before intervention, one month and three months after intervention, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The physical activity levels of patients in the observation group were higher than those in the control group after one and three months of intervention, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Empowerment education can improve physical activity level and aerobic exercise endurance in patients with coronary heart disease after PCI.
