Objective To analyze the status of quality indicators(QI) on specimen acceptability and establish preliminary qual ity specification.Methods Web based External Quality Assessment system was used to collect data of laboratories partici pated in "Medical quality control indicators in clinical laboratory" from 2015 to 2017,including once in 2015 and 2017 and twice in 2016.Rate and sigma scales were used to evaluate incorrect sample type,incorrect sample container,incorrect fill level and anticoagulant sample clotted.The 25th percentile (P25) and 75th percentile (P75) of the distribution of each QI were employed to establish the high,medium and low specification.Results 5 346,7 593,5 950 and 6 874 laboratories sub mitted the survey results respectively.The P50 of biochemistry (except incorrect fill level),immunology and microbiology reach to 6σ.The P50 of clinical laboratory is 4 to 6σ except for incorrect sample container.There is no significant change of the continuous survey results.Based on results in 2017 to establish the quality specification,the P25 and P75 of the four QIs is 0 and 0.084 4 ％,0 and 0.047 6 ％,0 and 0.114 2 ％,0 and 0.078 4 ％,respectively.Conclusion According to the results of the survey,most laboratories had a faire performance in biochemistry,immunology and microbiology,and clinical laboratory needs to be strengthened.Laboratories should strengthen the laboratory information system construction to ensure the actual and reliable data collection,and make a long time monitoring to achieve a better quality.

Objective To determine the antioxidant activity of different polar fractions of Jasmine leaves.Methods The extract of jasmine flo wer leaves was extracted with petroleum ether,ethyl acetate and n-butanol to obtain the petroleum ether,ethyl acetate,n-butanol and water fractions.The scavenging abilities of different polar fractions of jasmine leaf on 1,1-two-2-three nitro phenyl hydrazine (DPPH) free radicals,ABTS + radicals,O2-radicals,OH-radicals and the reduction of Fe3 +,Fe2+ were investigated and were compared with that on 2,6-tert butyl -4-methyl phenol (BHT).Results All the fractions had the ability to scavenge DPPH free radicals and ABTS + radicals.The petroleum ether fracton had the strongest ability to scavenge oxygen anion radicals and the ability of different fractions to scavenge hydroxyl radicals was n-butanol ＞ ethyl acetate ＞ petroleum ether ＞ water.For the ability to restore Fe3 +,the most powerful was water reducing part,the weakest was the ethyl acetate part,for the ability of chelating Fe2+ ethyl acetate part was higher than BHT,and the n-butanol part was the weakest.Conclusion The different polar fractions of Guangxi Jasmine leaves had certain antioxidant activity.

AIM To observe the changes of serum ROS,MDA,SOD levels in chronic renal failure (CRF) patients with damp-heat syndrome and to explore the intervention effect of Qingshen Granules (Hedyotis diffusae Herba,Salviae miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma,Artemisiae scopariae Herba,etc.) on oxidative stress.METHODS Seventy cases of CRF patients with damp-heat syndrome were randomly and equally divided into control group and treatment group.Sixty cases completed the study,thirty-one cases in the treatment group,twenty-nine cases in the control group.Twenty other cases served as the normal group.The treatment group and the control group were given the basic treatment of western medicine and retention enema of TCM.The treatment group was added Qingshen Granules for eight weeks.The levels of U-Pro/24 h,Scr,BUN,estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR),serum ROS,MDA and SOD were measured before and after the treatment,and were compared with the normal group.RESULTS Both total effective rates on disease and on traditional Chinese medicine syndrome in the treatment group were 83.87％,significantly higher than those in the control group (51.72％ and 48.28％),respectively.The levels of U-Pro/24 h,Scr and BUN were obviously lower in the treatment group after the treatment,and eGFR was obviously higher as compared with those in the control group.Before the treatment,the levels of ROS and MDA in the treatment and control groups were significantly higher than those in the normal group,and the level of SOD was significantly lower;the levels of ROS and MDA were reduced in the treatment group after the treatment,and the level of SOD was increased;these changes in the treatment group were more significant than those in the control group.CONCLUSION Qingshen Granules can ameliorate clinical symptoms in CRF patients with damp-heat syndrome,decrease the levels of U-Pro/24 h,Scr and BUN,increase eGFR level,inhibit oxidative stress,and enhance antioxidant capacity,ultimately delay the development of renal fibrosis.

Objective To investigate the antibacterial resistance in nationwide's tietiary hospitals and understand the trend of antimicrobial resistance.Methods All the clinical isolates were collected from 18 hospitals and the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were tested using agar dilution method recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) in central laboratory.The susceptibilities of isolates to antimicrobial agents were determined by using CLSI or European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) 2017 guideline.Results A total of 4333 pathogenic isolates from 18 tertiary hospitals in 18 cities nationwide over the period from July 2015 to June 2016 were studied.Based on the MIC results,Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae showed extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBLs) phenotype rates of 59.4％ and 27.5％,respectively;decreased by 7 to 10 percentage points comparing the last time.Carbapenems,amikacin,moxalactam,β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations,tigecycline,and fosfomycin displayed desirable antibacterial activity against Enterbacteriaceae,but a significant increasing of carbapenems resistance Klebsiella pneumoniae were noted.For non-fermenting Gram-negative isolates,resistance rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannnii to imipennnem were 29.5％ and 69.8％ and multidrug-resistant (MDR) detection rate were 35.6％ and 78.3％,extensively drug-resistant (XDR) were 10.2％ and 72.5％,respectively.Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from children were more resistant to β-lactam than those from adults and the old people,so bacterial resistance in children is an important problem in China.Conclusion Though the decline of ESBLs detection rate,carbapenem non-susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae rates continued to increase,which should be paid more attention.

Objective To investigate the gram-positive coccus resistance in nationwide's tietiary hospitals and understand the trend of antimicrobial resistance.Methods All the clinical isolates were collected from 18 hospitals and the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were tested using agar/broth dilution method recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) in central laboratory.The susceptibilities of isolates to antimicrobial agents were determined by using CLSI or European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) 2017 guideline.Results A total of 2301 Gram-positive cocci isolated from 18 hospitals in 18 cities nationwide were studied.Based on the MIC results,the prevalence of methicillin resistant Stapylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin resistant Stapylococcus epidermidis (MRSE) were 39.9％ and 86.6％ respectively.No vancomycin insensitive Staphylococcus was detected.Staphylococcus aureus were 100％ susceptibile to linezolid and teicoplanin,but resistant or insensitive for drugs other than vancomycin were observed among Coagulase Negative Staphylococci (CoNS).Antibiotic resistance rate of Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcusfaecium to ampicillin were 4.5％ and 85.1％.The detectation rate of vancomycin resistant Enterococcus(VRE) was 2.1％.Nonsusceptibility rate of Enterococcus faecalis to linezolid was 7.8％,showing slight increase than last time.The prevalence of penicillin nonsusceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae (PNSSP) was 6.6％ based on non-meningitis and parenteral administration criterion;while for cases of oral penicillin,the rate was 70.0％,was as flat as last time.There were no significant differenees of resistance rates of Stapylococcus aureus,Stapylococcus epidermidis Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium among various groups such as different department,age,or specimen source.Conclusion Compared with past surveillance result,VRE detection ratio was steady,while MRSA detection ratio decreased.The emergence of resistance and non-susceptible strains to new antibiotics such as linezolid,tigecycline and daptomycin should be payed more attention.

Objective To investigate the oncolytic effect of E1B mutant adenovirus (d11520) on human malignant gliomas. Methods Ad-βgal vector was used to investigate the infectibility of dl1520.U251,Hep3B (positive control) and T24 (negative control) cell lines were infected with dl1520respectively at 50,5,0.5,0.005 and 0 pfu of multiplicity of infection (MOI).The replication efficiency of d11520 in host cells was assessed by plaque assay.The cytopathic effect (CPE) was assessed by crystal violet staining in a panel of tumor cells. Results Crystal violet staining showed the Hep3B cell line was the most sensitive to dl1520 and had the fastest CPE,followed by the U251 cell line,while the T24cell line had no CEP.The replication and infection rates ofdl1520 in the U251 cell line were lower than in the Hep3B cell line but significantly higher than in the T24 cell line (P＜0.05). Conclusion The E1B mutant adenovirus (dl1520) has a significant oncolytic effect on human malignant gliomas.

Objective To explore the mechanism of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) induced endothelial injury and the efficacy and mechanism of ginsenoside Rg1 on the inhibition of endothelium injuries in human endothelial cells exposured to PM2.5.Methods Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were stimulated with various concentrations PM2.5 (0.1,0.2,0.4,0.8 mg/ml) and PM2.5 at concentration 0.8 mg/ml induced significant endothelial injury and was chosen for the main study in the presence or absence of Rg1 (0.04 mg/ml).After 24 h treatment,cell growth A value was detected through MTT,intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level through fluorescence labeling probe method and HO-1,Nrf2 mRNA expression was detected by RT-PCR.Results The cell A value was significantly lower while the ROS fluorescence gray value and the average optical density ratio of HO-1 were significantly higher in PM2.5 group than in the control group (all P ＜ 0.05).The average optical density ratio of Nrf2 was similar between PM2.5 group and control group (P ＞ 0.05).The A value and the average optical density ratio of HO-1 were significantly higher while the ROS fluorescence gray value was significantly lower in co-treated PM2.5 (0.8mg/ml) + Rgl (0.04 mg/ml) group than in the PM2.5 (0.8 mg/ml) group (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion PM2.5 could induce human endothelial cells injury by increasing oxidative stress which could be attenuated by ginsenoside Rg1.

Objective To assess the relationship between the BMI and the brain DAT, and the influence of BMI on the brain SPECT imaging with 99Tcm-TRODAT-1. Methods MRI and 99Tcm-TRODAT-1SPECT imaging were performed in 31 healthy volunteers(16 males and 15 females), and then the three-dimensional reconstruction of SPECT images were completed. Based on the MRI images, right striatum (RST) and the left striatum (LST) were drawn as ROI on the 4 most clearly consecutive transverse slices.The cerebellum (CB) was taken as the background reference area and the corresponding uptake ratios of ST/CB, LST/CB and RST/CB were calculated. The Pearson correlation tests for radio-uptake ratios (ST/CB, LST/CB, RST/CB), BMI and age were performed, Then multiple linear regression analysis using ST/CB as dependent variable and BMI and age as independent variables was performed. SPSS 15.0 was used in data analysis. Results The ST imaging was symmetrical. The radioactivity was higher in the ST front area than that of the back area. The average uptake ratios of ST/CB, LST/CB, RST/CB were 1.71±0.16,1.70 ± 0. 16 and 1.72±0.17 respectively, in which the three ratios of the female were 1.74 ± 0. 18, 1.71±0. 19 and 1.76 ± 0. 19 respectively and those of the male were 1.68 t 0. 14, 1.68 ± 0. 13 and 1.69± 0.15respectively. ST/CB, LST/CB and RST/CB were negatively correlated with patients'BMI (r = -0. 53,-0.57,-0.47, all P＜0.05). The ST/CB was negatively correlated with patients' age(r=-0.39, P=0. 03). The multiple linear regression analysis showed that the BMI was significant independent variable (β=-0.53, t= -3.36, P=0. 002). Conclusions TheSTDAT,evel may decrease as patients' BMI and age increase. Females' DAT level is slightly higher than males'. For ST DAT imaging, age, gender and BMI should be all taken into consideration.
