ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the application value of single detection and combined detection of 4 kinds of inflammatory indicators of procalcitonin (PCT ) ,high sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) ,interleu-kin-6(IL-6) and white blood cell(WBC) in diagnosing type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) bloodstream by analy-zing the levels of peripheral blood PCT ,hs-CRP ,IL-6 and WBC in the T2DM bloodstream infection group and T2DM non-bloodstream infection group .Methods The clinical data in 85 patients with T2DM bloodstream in-fection (T2DM bloodstream infection group ) and contemporaneous 80 cases of T2DM non-bloodstream infec-tion(T2DM non-bloodstream infection group) in this hospital from January 2013 to July 2016 were retrospec-tively analyzed .The levels of various inflammatory indicators in peripheral blood were analyzed .The receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve of various inflammatory indicators was drawn ,the area under the curve (AUC) and the best cut-off value were calculated .The detection schemes included 24 kinds of schemes such as the single indicator ,2-indicator ,3-indicator and 4-indicator .Results The levels of PCT ,hs-CRP ,IL-6 and WBC in the T2DM bloodstream infection group were significantly higher than those in the T 2DM non-blood-stream infection group ,the difference was statistically significant (P<0 .05) .AUC of PCT ,hs-CRP ,IL-6 and WBC were 0 .909 ,0 .818 ,0 .838 and 0 .760 respectively ,with best cut-off values of 0 .493 ng/mL ,11 .19 ng/mL ,40 .95 pg/mL and 11 .87 × 109/L respectively .The Youden index of PCT was highest (0 .65) and the ac-curacy of IL-6 was highest (83 .33％ ) in the single indicator detection scheme .The Youden index and accuracy of the scheme of PCT/hs-CRP and PCT+hs-CRP+IL-6 were highest in the combined detection scheme .Con-clusion PCT detection has the prominent value in the assisted diagnosis of T 2DM bloodstream infection .Inthe combined detection scheme ,PCT/hs-CRP and PCT+hs-CRP+IL-6 have the highest value in the assisted diagnosis in T2DM bloodstream infection .
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the role of LiCl in modulating bacterial-mediated inflammation after Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection.Methods Western-blot was used to determine the efficacy of LiCl usage.The expression of inflammatory cytokines in Pseudomonas aeruginosa-infected macrophages and neutrophils was detected by qPCR.Cell apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry.Results Western-blot data showed that LiCl up-regulated the protein levels of p-GSK-3β(Ser 9)and β-catenin in macrophages and neutrophils,indicating the efficacy of LiCl usage.qPCR data indicated that LiCl enhanced the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines and suppressed the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in Pseudomonas aeruginosa-infected macrophages and neutrophils.Flow cytometry data indicated that LiCl could promoted the apoptosis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa-infected macrophages and neutrophils.Conclusion LiCl inhibited the Pseudomonas aeruginosa-induced inflammation,via regulating the inflammatory cytokine expression and the apoptosis of inflammatory cells.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the feasibility of measurement uncertainty in complete blood count using internal quality con-trol(IQC) data associated with Sysmex Network Communication System(SNCS) comparative data .Methods Complete blood count assay including white blood cell(WBC) count ,red blood cell(RBC) count ,hemoglobin(Hb) determination ,hematocrit(HCT) values and platelet(PLT) count were involved to evaluate measurement uncertainty according to the instruction of CNAS-TRL-001 .Meas-urement uncertainty evaluation was established by internal measurement reproducibility using IQC data ,and standard measurement uncertainty by bias using proficiency testing(PT) data and SNCS data ,followed by relative combined standard measurement uncer-tainty and relative expanded measurement uncertainty was calculated .Meanwhile ,the measurement uncertainty was compared by u-sing PT data and SNAS comparative data .Results Relative expanded measurement uncertainty of the above mentioned index by u-sing IQC data associated with PT data was the following :WBC(10 .02% ,7 .24% ,7 .04% ,from level 1 to level 3 respectively) ,RBC (2 .40% ,1 .72% ,1 .92% ,from level 1 to level 3 respectively) ,Hb(3 .54% ,2 .56% ,2 .50% ,from level 1 to level 3 respectively) , HCT(4 .12% ,3 .18% ,2 .86% ,from level 1 to level 3 respectively) ,PLT(15 .36% ,8 .86% ,7 .94% ,from level 1 to level 3 respec-tively) .Relative expanded measurement uncertainty of the above mentioned index by using IQC data associated with SNCS compar-ative data was the following :WBC(11 .66% ,7 .34% ,6 .40% ,from level 1 to level 3 respectively) ,RBC(2 .26% ,1 .60% ,1 .64%from level 1 to level 3 respectively) ,Hb(3 .36% ,2 .36% ,2 .10% ,from level 1 to level 3 respectively) ,HCT (3 .36% ,3 .04% , 3 .18% ,from level 1 to level 3 respectively) ,PLT (13 .34% ,8 .36% ,7 .14% ,from level 1 to level 3 respectively) .Conclusion Measurement uncertainty in complete blood cell could be estimated by using IQC data associated with SNCS comparative data , which is in accord with the instrument of target measurement uncertainty .
ABSTRACT
Objective To verify the linear range of WBC measured by CD3700 hematocyte counter. Methods The high-valued specimen was prepared with the enriched white coat,and diluted as a series of concentrations of specimens with the physiological saline. Every specimen was measured for twice,and the sequence of specimens was random. And the Grubbsper test, polynomial regression anal-ysis,and random error estimation were performed. Results There is no outlier in the test results. Re-gression analysis showed it displayed linear in the range of 0 to 219 × 109/L,and the random error was within the allowable limit of our laboratory. Conclusion The linear range of WBC measured by CD3700 hematoeyte counter is coincident to what the manufacturer claims.
ABSTRACT
Objective To validate the biology reference interval of the Dartial biochemistry test items and provide accurate diagnosis basis for the clinic.Methods According to NCCLS C28-A2 recommendation method,two biochemistry analyzers'performance was validated.20 healthy persons for the asexual biological difference project and female group as well as male group (each group consist of 20 persons)for the sex biology difference project were recruited according to the laboratory SOP.If the validation had doubt,other two groups were need.The sera from these individuals were examined by the full-automatic ADVIA 1650 biochemistry analysis system.Results Two full-automatic ADVIA 1650 biochemistry analyzes conformed to the requirements.In 16 test items participating in this investigation.the analysis showed more than 5%results fell outside the biology reference interval for GGT and HDL-C,whereas 95% results fell in the biology reference interval for TP.All other results fell in the biology reference interval.Conclusions This validation indicats that except GGT and HDL-C,the biology reference intervals which are currently being used are suitable for our laboratory.This verification is persuasive and calpable of finding the deviation of biology reference interval.Setting up verification system warrants further generalization.
ABSTRACT
Objective To certify the linear range of WBC measured by CD3700.Methods Use the white stratum of blood after centrifugation.Then,the high value specimens were diluted with saline to get a series of samples with different concentrations.Every specimen was measured twice in order to keep the sequence of specimens randomly.The perform outlier test,polynomial regression analysis,and the random error estimation were carried out.Results There was no outlier in the results.It was demonstrated by polynomial regression to be linear from(0～219)?109 L-1.The random error was within the allowable limit of 1/4CLIA'88(3.75%).Conclusion The linear range of WBC measured by CD3700 is just like that of the manufacturer claims.
