Objective To study family typology of stroke survivors′spouse and its relationship with perceived social support and offer a basic reference for family intervention. Methods A total of 327 qualified spouses of stroke survivors were investigated in the Family Cohesion and Adaptability Questionnaire (FACESII-CV) and Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS) for their family typology proportion and relationship with PSSS. Results Compared with normal group, the ratios of extremity type family and middle family type were increased in this study: 23.9%(78/327)vs. 16.4%(20/122), 45.0%(147/327) vs. 29.5%(36/122), while the equilibrium family type were decreased:31.1% (102/327) vs. 54.1%(66/122), and there were significant differences (χ2=23.089, P<0.01). PSSS scores of spouses were (61.99±11.90) points, which included family support (21.71±4.27) points and social support (40.28±8.31) points. The scores were all in high level. Inter-comparison of three types of family showed the scores of PSSS were higher in extremity type families than those in middle and equilibrium type families: (68.27±11.27) points vs. (61.04±12.18), (59.56±10.34) points, and there were significant differences (F=5.636, P=0.005), but no significant difference between the last two (P > 0.05). Family typology was the most important factor to PSSS (β=0.212, P<0.05) in spouses of stroke survivors, followed by education degree of spouses (β=-0.190, P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the patients' spouses the baseline indicators in three types of families (P> 0.05). Conclusions Among the spouses of stroke survivors, the ratios of extremity and middle family type are increased but equilibrium family type are decreased. Family typology is the most important factor to PSSS of survivors′spouse. The PSSS of survivors′spouse in extremity type families is higher than that in middle and equilibrium type families. Intervention should be offered to the families, guiding the conversion of family typology from other types to extremity.

Objective To validate the analytical performance of three Cys C reagents with particle-enhanced turbidimetric immunoassay(PETIA) method used on the automatic biochemistry analyzer for preliminary clinical application.Methods The performance of three Cys C reagents (labeled as A, B, C) with PETIA method from Shanghai Jing Yuan Co., Beijing Leadman Co. and Beijing Jiuqiang Co. on OlympusAU2700 automatic biochemistry analyzer were assessed.According to the standard of CLSI EP6-A, EP15-A and EP7-P, the precision, linearity range, disturbance (bilirubin, hemoglobin, chyle) were assessed, and compared with those of Cys C reagent based on particle-enhanced nephelometric immunoassay(PENIA) from Dade Behring Co.. The reference ranges for Cys C in serum of 120 healthy individual were evaluated.Results The within-run CVs of the three reagents (A, B and C) were 3.08%-3.2%, 2.3%-4.15% and 1.38%-1.53% respectively.The total CV in A, B and C were 3.29%-3.44%, 2.65%-5.18% and 1.67%-1.69% respectively, lower than the stated.Limits of quantitative determination (LOQ) of the three reagents were 0.41, 0.23 and 0.07 mg/L, basically meeting the testing requirement.The linearity range was 0.22-7.26 mg/L(r=0.996), 0.20-7.72 mg/L(r=0.999)and 0.20-7.62 mg/L(r=0.997)in the three reagents, which demonstrated a sound linear correlation. For interference tests, no remarkable interference (<±10%) of reagent C was detected when bilirubin≤684 μmol/L, hemoglobin≤9.7 g/L and Chyle turbidity≤6 200 FTU; and no significant interference of reagent B was found when bilirubin≤684 μmol/L, hemoglobin≤6.79 g/L and Chyle turbidity≤6 200 FTU; when bilirubin≤684 μmol/L, hemoglobin≤4.85 g/L and Chyle turbidity≤1 240 FTU reagent A was not interfered significantly. The comparison afte and before the high-speed centrifugation reveals that the average percentage of bias for reagents A, B, C measured Cys C in chylous serum samples of patients was -8.31%, 1.52%, 1.32%, respectively.In method comparison tests, the regression equations of the three reagents compared with Dade Behring PENIA Cys C reagent were as follows:Y=0.787X+0.492 (R2=0.976), Y=1.098X+0.137 (R2=0.982) and Y=1.037X+0.249 (R2=0.996), respectively. Agreement rates of the high Cys C in reagent A, B, C and Dade Behring Cys C reagent were 80% (Kappa=0.615,P=0.000), 100% (Kappa=1.000,P=0.000), 91.2% (Kappa=0.824,P=0.000); While for reference range of preliminary clinical assessment, diagnosis coincidence rate of reagent A increased to 98.8% (Kappa=0.974,P=0.000). Conclusions When used in automatic biochemical analyzer, the three Cys C reagent with PETIA showed high precision,sensitivity, and sound correlation with Dade Behring PENIA reagents.The three reagents are all able to meet clinical test requirements, nevertheless, anti-interference capability were diffierent and the reference range should be further validated.

ObjectiveTo investigate the impacts of different serum creatinine detection methods,including Jaffe and enzymatic methods,on the efficacy of different GFR estimation equations in CKD patients in China.MethodsrGFR of 176 patients with CKD were determined by dual plasma sample method 99mTc-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (99mTc-DTPA) plasma clearance rate.Serum creatinine was detected with four kinds of creatinine reagents from different manufacturers.Cockcroft-Gault Equation corrected for body surface area (CG/BSA),simplified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Study equation,IDMS-traceable MDRD equation,CKD epidemiology collaborative research (CKD-EPI) equation and two Chinese simplified MDRD equation (project group equation 1,2) were applied to calculate estimated GFR (eGFR)respectively.eGFRwerecomparedwithrGFRforthecorrelation, deviation, precisionand30% accuracy.ResultsThe mean rGFR of 176 patients with CKD,was [ 40.70 ( 19.41 -84.35 ) ] ml · min- 1 ·( 1.73 m2 ) -1.For all GFR estimation equations,there were significant differences in eGFR results between enzymatic method and Jaffe method,when analyzed by the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.eGFR results assessed by two enzymatic creatinine detection systems showed no significant difference,while eGFR results analyzed by two Jaffe detection system were significantly different.The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of eGFR and rGFR ranged from 0.879 to 0.923 by Jaffe method,while from 0.925 to 0.946 by enzymatic creatinine method.ICC and Pearson correlation analysis revealed a significant correlation between eGFR and rGFR,and the correlation was better when using enzymatic method.Bland-Altman plots indicated that large deviation occurred in the high value area of GFR using various equations.However,deviation with the enzymatic creatinine method was smaller than that with the Jaffe method. When rGFR ≥ 60 ml · min- 1 ·(1.73 m2) -1,the 30% accuracy of eGFR using enzymatic creatinine method for all six equations was between 68.3% and 90.0%,while it was between 41% and 75% when using Jaffe method. The 30% accuracy of eGFR using enzymatic creatinine method was significantly higher than that using picric acid method for these equations except for the project group equation 1.When rGFR <60 ml · min -1 · ( 1.73 m2 ) -1,the 30%accuracy of eGFR using both methods was between 39.7% -49.1%,40.5% -52.6%respectively,and the difference of data showed no statistical significance.For the same equation,there was a significant differernce in 30% accuracy of eGFR between two enzymatic creatinine detection systems,while there was no significant differernce between two Jaffe creatinine detection systems.ConclusionsA significant difference was demonstrated in the same GFR evaluation equation using two different creatinine detection methods (Jaffe method and enzymatic method).The correlation between rGFR and eGFR,the degree of deviation,and accuracy of eGFR results assessed by enzymatic creatinine method were better than those by Jaffe method.The eGFR results assessed by different enzymatic detection systems revealed no significant difference.
