RESUMO
Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of IL-27, ADA and TB-Ab in TB pleurisy. Methods The data of 74 TB pleurisy cases and 45 non-TB pleurisy cases were screened randomly from June 2017 to July 2018 in Dalian Tuberculosis Hospital. Value of IL-27, ADA and TB-Ab in blood and pleural fluid of the two groups of cases was detected, and diagnostic value of these biomarkers in TB pleurisy was compared. Results The value of IL-27, ADA and TB-Ab in blood and pleural effusion of patients with TB pleurisy were higher than those of control group (P < 0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that areas under the blood IL-27, ADA and TB-Ab curves were 0.820, 0.744 and 0.589 (P<0.05) respectively, while those under the pleural effusion curves were 0.921, 0.876 and 0.708 (P<0.05) respectively. The area under the curve of IL-27 and ADA ROC curve was 0.921 (P<0.05), but 95% CI was higher than that of pleural effusion ADA (0.804-0.930) and IL-27(0.857-0.962). Conclusions Detection of IL-27 and ADA in pleural effusion is of great value in the diagnosis of TB pleurisy. The combined detection of IL-27 and ADA in pleural effusion would improve the diagnostic value.
RESUMO
Objective To study the value of clinical application of leukocyte classification alarm system (Q‐Flag ) for Sysmex XT‐1800i blood cell analyzer .Methods 394 blood samples with alarm system (Q‐Flag) and 190 ones without abnormal alarm infor‐mation detected by the Sysmex XT‐1800i blood cell analyzer were performed to observe the quantity and morphology of blood cells by manual differentiation ,and the results were compared between them .Results The alarm system of Sysmex XT‐1800i blood cell analyzer in detecting cell morphologic abnormalities was 100 .0% for sensitivity ,62 .3% for specificity ,70 .8% for positive predic‐tive value and 100 .0% for negative predictive value .Based on thegold standardof manual differentiation ,no abnormal cells were observed in those blood samples without Q‐Flag alarm information and the coincidence rate was 100% .The coincidence rate of leu‐kocyte classification was from 0 .0% to 75 .0% for blood cell analyzer when the alarm system (Q‐Flag) was between 100U and 200U ,and that was from 66 .7% to 95 .6% when the alarm system (Q‐Flag) was between 200U and 300U .Conclusion The alarm system sensitivity of leukocyte classification alarm system (Q‐Flag) is high for Sysmex XT‐1800i blood cell analyzer ,and it is nec‐essary to manually differentiate the samples with abnormal Q‐Flag in order to provide accurate and reliable clinical diagnostic infor‐mation .
