Drug testing involves many analytical instruments and test items, sample pretreatment is tedious, the industry's intelligence level remains low, making drug testing a labour-intensive job. However, in the era of Industry 4.0 intelligent manufacturing, intelligent transformation of the quality control (QC) laboratory has become the focus of industry. At the same time, driven by consistency evaluation of the quality and efficacy of generic drugs and the centralized procurement policies, pharmaceutical companies have intensified their competition, further stimulating the intrinsic demand for laboratory intelligence. Based on the current state and future trends of the pharmaceutical industry, this review discusses the development of a digital and automated QC laboratory. It points out the necessity of transitioning from the traditional centralized laboratory model to an intelligent, distributed quality control model to accommodate continuous manufacturing processes. At the same time, it also analyses the potential challenges in the implementation process and coping strategies, in order to provide relevant practitioners with ideas for building intelligent QC laboratories.

Objective To evaluate the effect of CT temporal subtraction(TS) for detection of lung nodules.Methods 80 cases of CT images (current and previous CT images) and corresponding CT TS images were presented, which included 30 cases with nodules(75 nodules) and 50 controls.4 observers, including 2 radiologists and 2 residents, indicated their confidence level regarding the presence of a new emerging or larger or solid component than before,which first used standard CT images, then with the addition of CT TS images.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the observers'' performance.Results The mean value of the area under the ROC curve (AUC) were 0.860 and 0.925 for four observers without and with TS images,respectively(P<0.01).Average sensitivity for detection of lung nodules was improved from 77.3%(58/75) to 89.3%(67/75) by using CT TS images.Conclusion The use of CT TS images can significantly improve radiologists'' performance for detection of lung nodules,especially when a small size solid or subsolid nodule presents near the pulmonary hilum.CT TS is more helpful for residents.

Objective To evaluate the performance of bone suppression images on the detection of lung nodules in comparison with the radiologists'reading results.Methods There were 141 standard posteroanterior digital chest radiographs,which included 95 patients with a solitary nodule and 46 controls.In this observational study,4 observers,including 2 radiologists and 2 residents,in-dicated their confidence level regarding the presence of a nodule for each lung,first by use of standard images,then with the addition of bone suppression images.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curve analysis was used to evaluate the observers'performance. Results Average nodule size was (1.9±1)cm (range from 0.9 cm to 2.9 cm).The mean value of the area under the ROC curve (AUC)was significantly improved from 0.844 with use of standard images alone to 0.873 with use of bone suppression images (P<0.01).Conclusion The use of bone suppression images can improve radiologists'performance on detection of lung nodules on chest radiographs.

Objective To study the changes of neutrophil surface molecule CD64 and inflammatory factor levels in patients with burn infection. Methods 46 cases of patients with burn infection who were treated in the department of burn in our hospital between March 2010 and October 2015 were selected as the observation group. Meanwhile, 46 cases of healthy people who underwent physical examination in our hospital during the same period were included in the control group. The levels of neutrophil surface molecule CD64, C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood cell count (WBC) and inflammatory factor [interleukin IL-6 (IL-6), interleukin (IL-8), tumor necro-sis factor (TNF-α) in the two groups of subjects were determined by flow cytometry and were compared. Results In the observation group, the levels of CD64, CRP, WBC and inflammatory factors were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The levels of CD64, CRP, WBC and inflammatory factors in patients with burn infection are significantly higher than those in healthy people , which indicates that neutrophil surface molecule CD64, inflammatory factors and burn infection are closely correlated.

Objective To summarize and analyze prenatal ultrasound and postnatal autopsy ifndings in fetuses with urorectal septum malformation sequence (URSMS). Methods An analysis of prenatal ultrsound ifndings and postnatal autopsy features was performed on eleven cases of fetuses with URSMS that were identiifed by ultrasonography at Shenzhen Maternity&Child Healthcare Hospital in the period of January 2003 to December 2012. Results Prenatal ultrasonography showed a large abdominal cystic mass concomitant with imperforate anus in eleven fetuses with URSMS. The cyst contained unilocular or bilocular cystic structures in two fetuses, and trilocular cystic structures in nine fetuses. The cyst was demonstrated as clear acoustic transmission in three fetuses and unclear in eight fetuses. Out of them, seven fetuses had kidney abnormalities, six had ascites, and three had enterolithiasis. The associated systemic abnormalities included tethered cord in two fetuses, single umbilical artery in two fetuses, sacrococcygeal dysplasia in one fetus, and myocardial noncompaction in one fetus. 21-trisomy was found in one fetus by chromosome examination. Eleven cases were all identiifed as female fetuses by autopsy ifndings, including a single perineal opening and ambiguous genitalia with clitoral hypertrophy and labial fusion. The internal genital abnormalities included double vagina or longitudinal vaginal septum in nine fetuses, double uterus or uterus bicornis in ten fetuses and vaginal dysplasia in one fetus. Conclusions URSMS is a complex congenital malformation, which includes abnormalities of the urinary system, reproductive system and gastrointestinal track. An abdominal cystic mass visualized by prenatal ultrasonography might be the distinctive lesion in female with URSMS, and have an important diagnostic value. The kidney abnormalities and ambiguous genitalia can contribute to the diagnosis of URSMS.

ObjectiveTo summarize prenatal ultrasound image features of Cantrell′s syndrome (Cantrell′s pentalogy).MethodsFrom January 2007 to December 2013 in Shenzhen Maternity & Child Healthcare Hospital, there were twenty cases diagnosed and conifrmed by postmortem as Cantrell′s syndrome. The prenatal ultrasound image features and outcomes were analyzed.ResultsAmong the twenty cases, eighteen were singleton and two were twins with the other normal fetus. Prenatal ultrasound image: two obvious ultrasound image features of ectopic heart and hight omphalocele (seventeen cases) or gastroschisis (three cases) were appeared in prenatal ultrasound of twenty cases. Fourteen cases were complete ectopic heart (Ectopic heart was located within the omphalocele in one case, ectopic heart was completely exposed in amniotic lfuid in thirteen cases), six cases were incomplete ectopic heart, three cases were ventricular septal defect in which one was associated with pulmonary stenosis, two cases were single atrium and single ventricle in which one was associated with a single arterial trunk, one case was tetralogy of Fallot, and six cases were without signiifcant heart abnormalities. Associated with other abnormalities: seventeen cases were associated with other abnormalities in twenty cases, in which eleven cases were spinal abnormalities, nine cases were umbilical cord abnormalities (short umbilical cord in six cases, single umbilical artery in two cases, short umbilical cord associated with single umbilical artery in one case), ifve cases were neurological abnormalities (exencephalia in four cases, encephalocele in one case), four cases were limb abnormalities, three cases were cheilopalatognathus, one case was giant bladder. Three cases weren′t associated with other abnormalities. Nuchal Translucency: in eight cases, nuchal translucency were measured in early pregnancy. Nuchal translucency of ifve cases were thick, one case was cervical hygroma in one of the two twins. Chromosome examination results: only three cases had chromosome examination in twenty cases, in which one case was trisomy 21, another two were chromosome normal. Fetal outcome and examination results: in twenty cases, one of the two twins can′t survive after birth, and the other one of two twins was reduced in intrauterine, so the specimen could not be obtained. Eighteen cases of singleton underwent labor induction. The results of postmortem appearance (nineteen cases) and autopsies (ifve cases) were all consistent with prenatal ultrasound scan.ConclusionsEctopic heart and hight omphalocele or gastroschisis appearing at the same time was the characteristic of Cantrell′s syndrome in prenatal ultrasound and other abnormalities may be part of the Cantrell′s syndrome spectrum. It is beneift to detect and diagnose Cantrell′s syndrome by prenatal ultrasound in the ifrst trimester.
