ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare the results of three kinds of glucometers and automatic biochemistry analyzer for the detection of blood glucose level of finger capillary and vein blood, and adopt linear regression to analyze their relationship.Methods: 204 patients with or without diabetes were enrolled in this study. Their finger capillary and vein blood were detected by three kinds of glucose meters and automatic biochemistry analyzer, respectively. And these data were analyzed by using linear regression and pair-t-test.Results: The comparative results revealed that the order of correlation between every glucose meters with automatic biochemistry analyzer was Accuchek higher than GT-1920 and GT-1920 higher than One Touch when the range of hematocrit (Hct) value was in 35.1%-51.6%. The correlation of Hct between every glucose meter and automatic biochemistry analyzer when the range of Hct was 25.0%-35.0% was significant higher than that when the range was 35.1%-51.6% (t=2.19,P<0.05). For finger capillary blood, the bias of One Touch was largest, while for vein blood, the bias of GT-1920 and One Touch were better. Besides, the detected results of blood glucose both of GT-1920 and One Touch were significantly higher than automatic biochemistry analyzer(t=2.34,P<0.05).Conclusion: There were better correlation between every glucose meter and automatic biochemistry analyzer, respectively, and the correlations between them can be effected by Hct. While there were still certainly difference between them.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the serological features of hepatitis G virus (HGV or GBV) in selected population of Shaanxi, Qinghai and Xinjiang Provinces (region).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine IgG antibody against GBV (anti-GBV IgG) in serum specimens of 1469 individuals from the 3 provinces (region).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The positivity rate of serum GBV-IgG antibody in ethnic minorities (4.11% in Tibetan, 5.36% in Mongolian, 4.55% in Uigur, 4.00% in Hui population) was slightly higher than that in Han population (1.36%-1.73%), but the differences were not significant (P>0.05). The positivity rate of serum GBV-IgG antibody in drug abusers (11.30%, 34/301) was remarkably higher than that of the normal population (2.44%,18/736) (P<0.01). The positivity rate of serum GBV-IgG antibody in blood donors was 1.02%-7.68%.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The positivity rates of serum GBV-IgG antibody among ethnic groups in the 3 provinces (region) had no significant differences; blood-borne transmission seemed to be an important transmission route of GBV, therefore supervision of blood donors and drug abusers should be intensified.</p>
