OBJECTIVES: Evaluate a new whole blood (WB) HbA1c immunoassay and system with closed tube sampling (CTS) capability. DESIGN AND METHODS: Compare the Tina-quant Haemoglobin A1c Gen.2 (A1C-2) application on the COBAS INTEGRA 800 (I800) and new I800 dedicated system with CTS capability to current Integra applications and a HbA1c method accurate with common haemoglobin (Hb) variants. RESULTS: CVs were < or =1.7%. Mean bias against National Glycohaemoglobin Standardization Program (NGSP) samples was 0.3 HbA1c %. Compared to the Hitachi Tina-quant(R) [a] HbA1c II (HbA1c II) assay (accurate with common Hb variants), mean bias was 0.04% and 0.21% HbA1c at 6% and 9%, respectively, with Hb AS variants; and -0.01% and 0.26% HbA1c at 6% and 9%, respectively, with Hb AC variants. CONCLUSIONS: The Integra A1C-2 application is precise, accurate against NGSP-assigned samples and the Hb variants tested; and, the I800 dedicated system with CTS capability offers increased throughput and reduced sample handling. 相似文献

This sociodemographic study focuses on the disenfranchisement, expulsion and persecution of pathologists in the Third Reich – a group that has, until now, received little systematic attention in scholarly research. The paper attempts to determine the number of pathologists who suffered persecution, the characteristics they shared, and the effects the repression had on their lives – both in the period from 1933 to 1945 and in the post-war period.The study is based on primary sources from numerous archives as well as on a systematic re-analysis of published secondary literature on the history of Nazi medicine. A total of 89 disenfranchised pathologists were identified and have been included. The vast majority of these pathologists (90%) were persecuted due to their Jewish ancestry or their relation to Jews. A good two-thirds of these pathologists were employed at a university until their disenfranchisement.For two-thirds of these pathologists (n = 62; 70%), documentation of emigration was found. Twenty-four pathologists remained in their home country; of these, five died in concentration camps and two others committed suicide.The preferred country for direct immigration was the United States (n = 19), followed by Great Britain (n = 13). Most of these pathologists were able to establish themselves professionally in their destination country, and little inclination to return to Germany after 1945 was shown. The reasons for this were a lack of career options in their home country, the lack of a welcoming culture among colleagues and universities, and the stigmatizing experiences of individual pathologists had during academic appointments and reparations proceedings in Germany. However, especially in recent decades and in part posthumously, these pathologists are being granted honorary, intangible recognition in Germany and Austria. Even though this recognition can no longer provide tangible reparations, it is nevertheless a sign of a gradual change in consciousness. 相似文献

BackgroundLittle is known about the benefits of adjuvant endocrine therapy (ET) in low ER-positive breast cancer (1%–10%) patients. We analyzed the association between ET and breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) in these patients with respect to the regimen and the duration of ET.MethodsPatients were classified into three groups based on the regimen and duration of ET. The regimens included aromatase inhibitor (AI) monotherapy or sequential tamoxifen followed by an AI (AI/T + AI), or only tamoxifen and no ET. The duration of ET included 2–3 years and >3 years. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was employed to calculate the hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).ResultsOf the 10,696 patients diagnosed with breast cancer between 2010 and 2020, 407 women were identified with ER-low positive disease and met the inclusion criteria. During a median follow-up of 5.2 years, patients who received ET improved BCSS. Of them, those with AI/T + AI had increased BCSS compared to patients without ET, after adjusting for demographics and tumor characteristics, especially in ER-low/HER-2-positive breast cancer. After additional adjustment for treatment mode, the association maintained a similar trend. Patients who received >3 years of ET was associated with a better DFS. There was no significant difference in BCSS between patients with 2–3 years and >3 years of ET.ConclusionFor ER-low patients, findings suggest that ET with AI/T + AI may be a reasonable treatment alternative. This effect should be assessed in randomized studies. 相似文献

In a previous study, we found interobserver agreement among 88 board-certified pathologists evaluating perineural invasion (PNI) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) was fair, and participants most often used the following criteria: (1) tumor invading the perineurium, (2) tumor surrounding a nerve. In this study, we aimed to determine whether application of these most commonly used criteria may improve interobserver agreement. 512 pathologists were invited to participate in a web-based survey. Participants were asked to assess the presence/absence of PNI in a set of OSCC photomicrographs by applying each of the two criteria above. The survey was completed by 84 board-certified pathologists [mean age: 52 years (range 31–81), mean years in practice: 19 (range 1–56)]. Interobserver agreement was moderate (k = 0.46, 95% CI 0.45–0.46) when using definition #1 (tumor invading the perineurium) and fair (k = 0.24, 95% CI 0.23–0.25) when using definition #2 (tumor surrounding a nerve). By comparison, interobserver agreement was fair (k = 0.36, 95% CI 0.35–0.37) among phase 1 participants asked to evaluate these photomicrographs as they would in their pathology practice. Differences in kappa between definition #1 and phase 1, definition #2 and phase 2, and definition #1 and #2 were statistically significant (p < 0.001). Compared to our prior study based on pathologists’ personal views, the current study shows improved interobserver agreement with application of the criterion, “tumor invading the perineurium.” However, further work is needed to delineate concise, objective, and more reproducible criteria for histopathologic assessment of PNI. 相似文献

Purpose
When donor specific HLA antibodies (DSA) are identified, the predictive value of whether a certain strength of reactivity (mean fluorescence intensity, MFI) leads to a positive crossmatch is uncertain. To determine this, we compared the DSA MFI results we generated locally for nationally distributed proficiency samples against the percentage of other laboratories reporting a positive crossmatch.Method
DSA MFI from single antigen beads reported by our laboratory for nationally-distributed proficiency testing survey samples was compared against the aggregate percentage of participating laboratories reporting the crossmatch positive using direct, antiglobulin-enhanced microcytotoxic (CDC-AHG), or flow cytometric methods from 2011 to 2015.Results
180 surveys were analyzed. Positive CDC-AHG and flow cytometric crossmatches were associated with MFI greater than 8554 and 2748 respectively for HLA class I, and 6919 and 3707 respectively for class II. Institutional MFI less than 3000 had high positive predictive values (0.98, 0.85, 0.81) for negative direct, AHG, and flow crossmatches, while MFI greater than 8000 had high negative predictive values for a positive direct, AHG, and flow crossmatches (1.00, 1.00, 0.97).Conclusion
Review of locally-generated MFI results as part of participating in proficiency testing allow for predictability of crossmatch results against other laboratories, providing a replicable model for other participating centers. 相似文献9.
