Objective To explore the assessment of precision, accuracy, and quality control(QC) procedures needed to satisfy the external quality assessment criteria with "operational process specifications" (OPSpecs) derived from an analytical quality-planning model. Methods The routine operating specifications were presented in the form of an OPSpecs chart, which described the operational limits for imprecision and inaccuracy when a desired level of quality assurance was provided by a specific QC procedure. Results OPSpecs charts could be used to compare the operational limits for different QC procedures and to select a QC procedure that was appropriate for the precision and accuracy of a specific measurement procedure. The inaccuracy and imprecision observed for a measurement procedure was plotted on the OPSpecs chart to define the current operating point, which was then compared with the operational limits of candidate QC procedures. Conclusion The general design approach is applicable in all instrument systems.

Objective To explore the feasibility and clinical efficacy of entirely mastoscopic axillary lymph node dissection for patients with breast cancer. Methods To analyze the clinical data and the procedure of the Breast cancer cases with entirely mastescopic axillary lymph node dissection. Results All the operations of those cases re-ceived entirely mastoseopic axillary lymph nodes dissection were successful, the average operating duration was 97min,and average of 5 ~ 14 lymph nodes were removed;2 cases had the positive lymph node. The procedure of those operations went well ,and there was no operation complication. After the operation the shoulder mobilization had unlim-ited, and no cancer cell was transplanted in operations holes. Conclusion Entirely mastoscopic axillary lymph node dissection can be carried out in grass-root hospitals and can be taken as one of the usual operation methods.

Objective To describe the reference intervals and their sources of tumor markers in clinical laboratories all over China.And make a comparison of difference between different testing systems.Methods The questionnaires about reference intervals of tumor markers testing were distributed to participants.The information was collected by external quality assessment software system based on website, which including upper and lower limits, sources, validation information and testing systems.The analytes were AFP, CEA, total-PSA, CA125, CA153, CA199, ferritin and free-PSA. The participants were classified according to the testing systems they used.The mean, median, maximum and minimum of each group were calculated using Microsoft Excel 2007.The difference of reference intervals between different testing systems were compared by Kruskal-Wallis test.Results The main source of reference intervals was instructions of testing system manufactures ( 83.1% for mean of 8 ratios ) .The next in sequence were instructions of reagent manufactures(8.4% for mean), National Guide to Clinical Laboratory Procedures (4.6%for mean), determined by their own laboratory(2.0% for mean) and the rest (1.9% for mean). There were 48.0% ( 1 906/3 967 ) of analytes whose reference intervals had been validated.Difference of reference intervals which was with P value of Kruskal-Wallis test with <0.05 was found between different testing system groups except the upper limit of free prostate specific antigen ( PSA ) .Conclusions Most clinical laboratories establish the reference intervals of tumor markers on the basis of instructions of testing system manufactures.The reference intervals among different testing systems have statistically significance.

Objective To carry out the current status of internal quality control by statistical analysis of the Internal Quality Control (IQC)data of homocysteine in 2014 March.Methods Web-based External Quality Assessment (EQA)system was used to collect IQC data of homocysteine from 292 EQA participant laboratories nationwide.The data include thecoefficient of variation (CV)of IQC data under control in March 2014 and long-term cumulative data.Acceptable rates of CVs of two-lot internal quality controls in homocysteine were calculated according to 5 criteria,that were 1/3TEa,1/4TEa and the speci-fications based on biological variation including the minimal,appropriate and optimal allowable imprecision.The instrument the participant laboratories used were sorted into 6 groups and the passing rate of each group were calculated by the 5 crite-ria.Results 292 laboratories reported the data of level 1 IQC for homocysteine,106 of which reported the data of level 2 IQC.The passing rate was different according to different criteria.The passing rate had few difference by the criteria of 1/3TEa and the minimal allowable imprecision based on biological variation,which were from 63.36% to 76.42%.It was also true for 1/4TEa and the appropriate allowable imprecision based on biological variation,which were from 34.25% to 57.55. The passing rate was only 10.62%~16.98% by the criteria of appropriate allowable imprecision based on biological varia-tion.Statistical results showed that instruments the participant mainly used were HITACHI (77/292),Olympus (61/292), Roche (19/292),Beckman (14/292),Abbott (10/292)and Simens (10/292).The passing rates of all the instrument group had few difference except Simens group.Conclusion Most of the laboratories could meet the criteria of 1/3TEa and the min-imal allowable imprecision based on biological variation.But less than half of the laboratories could meet the criteria of 1/4TEa and the appropriate and optimal allowable imprecision based on biological variation.The precision performance of ho-mocysteine among laboratories needs further improvement.

Objective To investigate the current application status of clinical laboratories in China, including:testing items, the testing amount of each item, total cost of each item and turnaround time ( TAT) of each item.The testing tem with larger proportion of testing amount required better quality control, more financial investment and policy making.Methods Except Tibet and Taiwan, 30 provinceswere included in this investigation.3 grade A tertiary hospitals, 3 tertiary hospitals and 3 secondary hospitals were randomly chosen from every province, and 270 hospitals were enrolled totally.The principals of clinical laboratories of chosen hospitals were contacted by each provincial center of clinical laboratories to complete the online questionnaire.The submitted data was checked by staff of our center and analyzed by Microsoft Excel 2007. The survey information included general information of the hospital, testing menu of the laboratory, test panels , annual test amount, cost, turnaround time, et al.Results All the hospitals enrolled in this investigation had submitted effective results (100%, 270/270).There were 628 single testing item collected in this survey:230 single items were in the field of clinical immunology, which made the biggest proportion (36.62%, 230/628 ); the total amount of testing of clinical chemistry had the biggest proportion (59.97%);the summary amount of the top 100 testing items exceeded 90% of the overall amount; the summary cost of the top 100 testing items exceeded 85% of the overall cost.Conclusions The information collected and analyzed after the survey of testing items of clinical laboratories in China could provide valuable reference information for quality control, financial investment and policy making.
