Résumé
Data is the basis and soul of clinical trials. To obtain accurate data, strict and standard data management is essential, which can be effectively supported by quality control in statistical analysis. In this paper, we briefly introduce the concept of the quality control in clinical trials, and describe its contents and methods. We hope that this work will be helpful to the application of statistical quality control in data management of clinical trials.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To compare different methods commonly used for titering adenovirus and analyze the advantages and limitations of each method.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Four recombined adenoviruses (Ad-G-AT2R-EGFP, Ad-CMV-EGFP, Ad-mif-shRNA-EGFP and Ad-CBA-GFP) were amplified and purified, and each was titered by optical absorbance, real-time PCR, green fluorescent protein (GFP)-labeled method, immunoassay, and cytopathic effect (CPE). The results were then comparatively analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>No significant difference was found in the titer amounts derived from GFP-labeled method, immunoassay, and cytopathic effect method (P>0.1). A positive correlation was noted in the titer amounts determined by real-time PCR and immunoassay (r=0.965), even though the value (vg/ml) obtained by real-time PCR was 10 times higher than that by immunoassay (ifu/ml).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>GFP-labeled method and immunoassay allow rapid determination of the adenoviral titer. Real-time PCR can not directly determine the real infectious titer of the adenovirus, but the result is well correlated to that of immunoassay and reflects, though indirectly, the actual infectious titer of adenovirus. Considering the procedural convenience and shorter time consumption, real-time PCR is still a practical method for adenoviral titration.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the expression characteristics of Gluc-Fluc dual luciferase plasmid after its transfection into MB49 bladder cells.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>pAAV2neoCAG-Gluc-2A-Fluc and pAAV2neo-Gluc plasmids were separately transfected into MB49 cells via LipofectamineTM2000. The Gluc activity in the cell culture supernatant and the Fluc activity in the cells were detected by luminometer and Lumina Imaging system.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The luminometer result showed that the activity of Gluc in the supernatant increased gradually in a cell number- and time-dependent manner, while Fluc activity in the cells increased with the cell number but not with time. The Lumina Imaging system showed that Gluc-Fluc was successfully expressed in MB49 bladder cells and cell lines with stable Gluc-Fluc expression were obtained after G418 selection.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Gluc in the dual luciferase plasmid retains its expression characteristics. Due to the advantages of Fluc in localization in living imaging and the easy quantitative detection of Gluc, the dual luciferase plasmid, after transfection in MB49 bladder cells, allows reliable and dynamic detection of tumor growth in animal models.</p>
