RESUMEN

Objective:To establish auto verification rules for the routine coagulation assays,and to provide reference for clinical laboratories to improve the quality and efficiency of results verification.Methods:A total of 24,510 specimens of sodium citrate anticoagulation routine coagulation test from the laboratory departments of eight hospitals including the First Medical Center,Chinese PLA General Hospital during January to March 2020 were collected and randomly divided into a rule establishment group and a rule verification group,with 6,670 specimens in the rule establishment group,including 2,056 Delta checks,and 17,840 specimens in the rule validation group,including 3,210 Delta checks.The activities of prothrombin time(PT),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),fibrinogen(Fib),thrombin time(TT),D-dimer(DD)and/or antithrombin(AT)were detected by Stago STA R Max automatic coagulation analyzer and supporting reagents.Taking the manual verification results as the standard,the auto verification and manual false negative rate(invalid verification),false positive rate(invalid interception),pass rate,positive coincidence rate,negative coincidence rate,verification consistency rate and specimen turnaround time(TAT)of the two groups were calculated.Results:The auto verification rules and the application process were preliminarily established,including internal quality control,alarm information,auto verification scope,critical value and deviation value inspection.In the rule establishment group,the single item pass rate was 82.6%-92.4%,and the overall pass rate was 73.8%.The consistency rate between auto verification and manual verification was 98.2%,and the positive coincidence rate and negative coincidence rate were 24.4%and 73.8%,respectively.In the rule verification group,the single item pass rate was 86.4%-91.5%,and the overall review pass rate was 71.5%.By simulating the application of auto verification rules,the average TAT of two hospitals among the eight hospitals was shortened by 1.5 hours and 2.1 hours,respectively.Conclusion:The application of auto verification rules can reduce workload of manual verification,and significantly shorten the TAT,and improve the report efficiency of the laboratory.

RESUMEN

Objective:To investigate the effects of letrozole combined with human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG) on pregnancy rate and prognosis in patients with refractory polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).Methods:A total of 102 patients with refractory PCOS who received treatment in Jinhua Hongyue Women's and Children's Hospital between May 2019 and May 2020 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to observation and control groups ( n = 51/group). All patients received the same treatment in the early period. During later ovulation induction period, patients in the control group were administered HMG and those in the observation group were given letrozole combined with HMG. Before treatment and 3 months after treatment, sex hormones [follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E 2), testosterone (T)], arterial hemodynamic indicators around the follicle [end diastolic velocity (EDV), peak systolic velocity (PSV), pulsation index (PI)], endometrial thickness and classification were compared between the two groups. The ovulation rate and pregnancy rate as well as pregnancy outcomes at 6 months of follow-up were recorded in each group. Results:After 3 months of treatment, FSH, LH, E 2 and T levels in each group were significantly decreased compared with those before treatment (all P < 0.05). FSH, LH, E 2 and T levels in the observation group were (1.85 ± 0.45) U/L, (9.86 ± 1.47) U/L, (81.25 ± 10.47) pmol/L, (1.75 ± 0.26) nmol/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(3.12 ± 1.47) U/L, (12.58 ± 2.14) U/L, (109.25 ± 27.14) pmol/L, (3.58 ± 0.76) nmol/L, t = 5.90, 7.48, 6.87, 16.27, all P < 0.05). EDV in each group was significantly decreased after 3 months of treatment compared with that before treatment (both P < 0.05). After treatment, EDV in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(3.12 ± 1.42) cm/s vs. (5.14 ± 1.89) cm/s, t = 21.14, P < 0.001]. PSV in each group was significantly increased after treatment compared with that before treatment (both P < 0.05). After treatment, PSV in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(13.36 ± 2.01) cm/s vs. (10.24 ± 2.47) cm/s, t = 4.21, P < 0.001]. In each group, PI measured after treatment was not significantly different from that measured before treatment (both P > 0.05). After treatment, endometrial thickness in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(9.09 ± 1.58) mm vs. (8.41 ± 1.42) mm, t = 2.28, P < 0.05]. Ovulation rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [88.24% (45/51) vs. 70.59% (36/51), χ2 = 4.85, P < 0.05]. There were no significant differences in endometrial type, biochemical pregnancy, clinical pregnancy rate, abortion rate, and premature delivery rate between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Conclusion:Letrozole combined with HMG has an ideal effect on refractory PCOS. It can improve the levels of sex hormones, restore the hemodynamic status in ovarian stroma and increase ovulation rate.

RESUMEN

BackgroundSince the end of 2019 to the present day, the outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has had an immense impact on China and on other countries worldwide. This outbreak represents a serious threat to the lives and health of people all around the world. The epidemic first broke out in Wuhan, where the Chinese government was unable to prevent the spread of the disease by implementing home quarantine measures. Mobile cabin hospitals were used to relieve pressure on hospitals due to the need for beds while also isolating the sources of the infection through a centralized quarantine and treatment of mild cases. MethodThis paper reviewed and summarized the treatment of patients with mild illness and symptoms during the period from the construction to the closing of the Hanyang Mobile Cabin Hospital in Wuhan, China, and presented the operational elements and possible improvements of running this hospital. ResultsMobile cabin hospitals helped China to curb the epidemic in only 2 incubation periods in 28 days.The basic conditions required for a normal operation of mobile cabin hospitals included the selection of the environment, medical staff to patient ratio, organizational structure, management model, admission criteria, treatment approaches, discharge process, livelihood guarantee, security, and other safeguarding measures. All of these components were performed carefully in Wuhan Hanyang Mobile Cabin Hospital, without medical staff being infected. ConclusionThe mobile cabin hospital compulsory quarantine for mild patients was an alternative method to combat COVID-19. It is hoped that the presented work in this manuscript can serve as a reference for the emergency prevention and control measures for global epidemic outbreaks.

RESUMEN

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical significance of peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (ⅡM).MethodsPeripheral blood lymphocyte subsets was determined by flow cytometry in 89 patients with polymyositis(PM ) or dermatomyositis ( DM ).The association between clinical features and peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets was analyzed by F test,t test and x2 test.ResultsPatients with active DM showed significant decreases in counts of CD3+ cell,CD3+CD4+ cell and CD3+CD8+ cell[(8±4),(5.4±2.8) and (2.6±1.6) ×108/L respectively],compared with those in inactive DM [(16±6), (10.4±5.6) and (5.6±3.8) ×108/L respectively] and healthy controls [(14±4), (8.3±2.8) and (4.6±1.7) ×108/Lrespectively](F=12.901,8.257,7.084; P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis indicated that myositis disease activity could influence the counts of peripheral blood CD3+ cell,CD3+CD4+ cell and CD3+ CD8+ cell (b=0.211,0.344,0.289; P＜0.05 ).ILD in ⅡM could influence the counts of CD3+ cell and the ratio of CD3+CD4+cell (b=0.928,1.974; P＜0.05 ).Logistic regression analysis indicated that the count of CD3+CD8+ cell was risk factor for death,and the relative risk was 0.989(b=-0.011 ; P＜0.05).ConclusionPeripheral blood lymphocyte subsets may be regarded as useful laboratory parameters for monitoring RA disease activity.Decreased CD8+ T cell may predict a poor outcome of patients with IIM.

RESUMEN

Objective To investigate the aging features of pure leukoaraiosis (LA) in nondemented outpatients. Methods The outpatients with age older than 40 years, without taking cholesterol lowering and B vitamin medications and with mini-mental state examination more than 24 scores were selected from July 2008 to December. 2009 in Beijing Tiantan Hospital. LA was defined with MRI. Patients were classified into two groups i. e. LA group consisting of 138 patients with leukoaraiosis but without lacunar lesions and cortical infarcts and a control group consisting of 124 patients without any lesion in brain. Age and other vascular risk factors were also investigated. Results Age of the patients in the LA group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P< 0.001). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that age was independently associated with pure LA ( OR 1.080, 95% CI 1.042-1.120), after adjusting sex, vascular risk factors and presence of atherosclerosis in cervical arteries. If age-stratification was further considered, logistic regression analysis showed that OR (95% CI) for LA was 2.693 (95% CI 1.103-6.575) in a 60-69 year group and 13. 527(95%CI 3.319-55.131) in a≥70 year group as compared with a 40-49 year group. Conclusion Age is a determining risk factor for pure LA and patients with age older than 60 years are at high risk of LA.

RESUMEN

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the value of the clinical use of CT perfusion imaging (CTPI) and CT subtraction angiography (CTSA) for diagnosing acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease (AICVD).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Twenty-four patients with AICVD onset within 24 hours were examined with regular CT, CTPI, and CTSA. Some cases received CTPI, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), digital subtraction angiography (DSA) or single photon emission computer tomography (SPECT) during follow-up examinations.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Of the 24 cases, 11 had negative results from regular CT scans 3 - 6 hours after onset of stroke in 6 cases, 6 - 12 hours in 3 cases, and 12 - 24 hours in 2 cases. Ten of these cases were then confirmed by CTPI as having ischemic lesions, 2 with middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), and 1 case with transient ischemic attack (TIA) with CTPI negative. Of the 24 cases, 13 had positive results from regular CT, 9 were diagnosed with ischemic lesions larger by using CTPI than regular CT, 1 case had MCAO and 1 had internal carotid artery occlusion (ICAO). There were 4 cases with ischemic lesions observed with regular CT having nearly the same range as that of lacunar infarctions using CTPI. Another 4 cases had more than 2 lesion areas. The peak time (PT), mean transit time (MTT) and relative flow (RF) of 24 cases were markedly different. The sides of ischemic lesions compared to each other and the core of the lesion compared to peripheral zones were also altered significantly (P < 0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Combined CTPI with CTSA can detect acute ischemic lesions at early and hyper-early stages and could distinguish between TIA, lacunar infarction and a larger area of infarction. Using semiquantitative blood perfusion analysis status, CTPI with CTSA could define position, area and range of the ischemic lesion and penumbra. These scans can also analyze the brain blood perfusion status. It is important to early diagnose the occlusion of the entire division of the internal carotid artery or middle cerebral artery and it is meaningful to assess prognosis and assignment of therapy.</p>
