    Abstract1102)   HTML    PDF (788KB)(2428)       Save
    Objective  To investigate resistance mechanisms to carbapenems and transmission modes of 3 Morganella morganii isolates (M1, M2 and M3) isolated from patients in surgical intensive care unit (SICU).  Methods  The susceptibility of antimicrobial agents was detected by agar dilution method. The molecular epidemiological characteristics of the isolates were analyzed by enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The encoding genes of beta-lactamases were analyzed by specific PCR amplification. The transitivity and homology of plasmids were detected by plasmid conjugation and restriction endonuclease analysis. Genetic environments around bla KPC were analyzed by sequencing. The changes of outer membrane permeability were analyzed by the electrophoresis of outer membrane protein.  Results The bla KPC-2 was detected by PCR in all 3 isolates and their transconjugants. M1 and M2 were the same clonal type. Carbapenem-resistance was successfully transfered by conjugation experiments. The bla KPC-2 was located on dissimilar plasmids with quite different restriction profiles. The genetic environments around bla KPC-2 were the same. The 3 original Morganella morganii isolates showed a loss of 38 000 outer membrane proteins, and additional 36 000 outer membrane proteins appeared compared with the Morganella morganii isolates susceptible to carbapenems. Conclusions  The bla KPC-2is detected in the 3 Morganella morganii isolates belonging to 2 clonal types . This gene encoded by dissimilar plasmids is likely located on the same mobile genetic elements by which bla KPC-2 is possibly transferred between different plasmids. The KPC-2-producing and lack of outer membrane proteins together cause these 3 Morganella morganii isolates resistant to carbapenems possibly.

    The assay of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentration is the best approach to assess human vitamin D status. However,it has also been recognized that there is substantial between-assay variability which clearly confounds the diagnosis and treatment of hypovitaminosis D. Therefore,to develop and implement evidence-based clinical guidelines,it is essential that 25(OH)D determination should be standardized in both clinical and research laboratories. In 2010,the Vitamin D Standardization Program was organized by the Office of Dietary Supplements of the National Institutes of Health (NIH-ODS). In this review,we outline a way toward achieving the Vitamin D Standardization Program.

    Glycated hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c) is an important parameter for the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and monitoring treatment efficiency. After HbA1c measurand being defined by the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC),with efforts,the differences are decreasing gradually among clinical laboratories in the world. Although HbA1c manufacturers introduce their instruments' advantages and clinical significance mainly,instead of weaknesses,clinical laboratories should know instruments' characteristics and disadvantages. Instruments can be used into clinical determinations,only when the analysis performances have been verified and satisfy clinical application. Every laboratory should use 2 different methods,which can identify whether there is abnormal hemoglobin or not. Although HbA1c can be determined by immunological methods without interference from abnormal hemoglobin,the influence of abnormal hemoglobin has not been defined. In short,clinical laboratories should learn as much information as possible for patients.

The myeloma cells infiltrate bone and soft tissue, produce M protein and cause bone destruction, anemia, renal insufficiency, repeated infection and so on. Through the statistics, the incidence of MM in all malignant tumors accounts for about 1%, and its incidence in blood system of malignant tumor is more than 10%.The pathogenesis of MM is not fully clear, the complex and various clinical symptoms lead to misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis easily. The difference of laboratory examination may lead to difficult disease diagnosis and differential diagnosis. Therefore, investigating the clinical and laboratory diagnosis characteristics of MM has clinical significance for the early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment of MM. In this paper, the clinical and laboratory diagnosis characteristics of MM are reviewed in detail.

    Objective

    To investigate the application significance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) T cells spot test (T-SPOT) in the rapid diagnosis for suspected MTB infected patients with pleural effusion.

    Methods

    The 124 patients with pleural effusion which were suspected as having suspected MTB infection were enrolled. T-SPOT was used to detect the immune response of peripheral blood lymphocyte against MTB special secreted protein EAST-6 and CFP-10. The MTB DNA method was used to detect MTB in pleural effusion, meanwhile serum anti-MTB antibody was detected by immuno-gold filtration assay, and the results were analyzed statistically.

    Results

    The 44 of 124 cases were diagnosed as tuberculosis by sputum, pleural effusion and ascites smear test, sputum, pleural effusion and ascites MTB culture, tuberculin test, MTB DNA method and anti-MTB antibody test, and the positive rate was 35.5%. The positive rate of T-SPOT in the 124 patients with pleural effusion was 33.06%(41/124). The positive rate of MTB DNA method was 14.52%(18/124), and that of anti-MTB antibody test was 9.68%(12/124). Among the 44 confirmed tuberculosis patients, T-SPOT had the consistency rate of 86.36%(38/44), while the consistency rates of MTB DNA method and anti-MTB antibody test were 27.27%(12/44) and 18.18%(8/44), respectively. The positive rate and consistency rate of T-SPOT were significantly higher than those of the others (P<0.05). The positive and negative predictive values of T-SPOT in suspected MTB infected patients with pleural effusion were 92.68% and 92.77%, respectively.

    Conclusions

    T-SPOT is fast, sensitive and specific to diagnose the suspected MTB infected patients with pleural effusion. T-SPOT is better than MTB DNA method and anti-MTB antibody test. T-SPOT can become a new diagnostic method to be applied in the diagnosis of MTB infection.

    Glycated hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c) is an important parameter for the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and monitoring treatment efficiency. After HbA1c measurand being defined by the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine(IFCC),with efforts,the differences are decreasing gradually among clinical laboratories in the world. Although HbA1c manufacturers introduces their instruments' advantages and clinical significance mainly,instead of weaknesses,clinical laboratories should know instruments' characteristics and disadvantages. Instruments can be used into clinical determinations,only when the analysis performances have been verified and satisfy clinical application. Every laboratory should use 2 different methods,which can identify whether there is abnormal hemoglobin or not. Although HbA1c can be determined by immunological methods without interference from abnormal hemoglobin,the influence of abnormal hemoglobin has not been defined. In short,clinical laboratories should learn as much information as possible for patients.

    Objective  To evaluate the analysis performance of testing results between speed scattering turbidimetric method and transmitted immunoturbidimetric method for determining C reactive protein(CRP). Methods  The speed scattering turbidimetric method (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostica BN-Ⅱ specific protein analyzer) and transmitted immunoturbidimetric method (Finland Orion Diagnostica QuikRead CRP analyzer) were used to determine CRP, and the precision, linearity, interference, correlation and bias were evaluated methodologically. Results  The total coefficient of variation (CV) of the BN-Ⅱ specific protein analyzer was <6%, when the concentration of CRP was 2.0-80.0 mg/L. The total CV of the QuikRead CRP analyzer was <7%, when the concentration of CRP was 8.0-80.0 mg/L. The linearity range was 8.0-70.0 mg/L. Haemoglobin (Hb) <10 g/L and bilirubin (Bil) <300 mg/L had no significant interference (<10%) for the assay. The interference (<10%) was not significant to the BN-Ⅱ specific protein analyzer when triglyceride (TG) <20 mmoL/L. When TG >15 mmol/L, the interference of low-value CRP samples was >10%, and there was no interference in high-value CRP samples for QuikRead CRP analyzer. The correlation analysis of 50 blood samples showed that both analyzers were correlated well (r=0.98,P<0.01). There was no significant bias from linearity regression through Cusum between the 2 analyzers(P>0.05). The values of BN-Ⅱ specific protein analyzer were slightly lower than those of QuikRead CRP analyzer. Bland-Altman curve showed that the average bias of the 2 analyzers was -2.1. 〖WTHZ〗 Conclusions  The precision, interference and linearity tests are suitable for routine CRP determination on the 2 analyzers. Although the results have bias, they meet the clinical requirements.
