This study introduces a completely Random Quality Control (R-QC) method for Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) tests and compares it with traditional Fixed Quality Control (F-QC) methods across different testing items. A random quality control system was constructed using a Time-series model, enabling fully random positioning of quality control in ELISA tests. The Coefficient of Variation (CV) for R-QC were found to be lower as compared to F-QC in Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), anti-Human Immunodeficiency Virus (anti-HIV), and Treponema Pallidum (TP) items, and there were significant differences among them.

Real-world research of the mainstream vaccines in China (BBIBP-CorV and CoronaVac) is extremely valuable as a supplement to clinical research data. Venous blood of this study was collected from 111 blood donors and from 6 volunteers, who had received 2 doses of SAR-CoV-2 vaccine.

In order to increase the detection rate of weak agglutination, unexpected antibodies (UAb) and blood subtypes for pre-transfusion testing, the blood group screening process of automated blood group analyzer (ABGA) is ameliorated by introducing one static step and establishing a suspension static method (SSM). One static step was introduced in the blood group screening process of ABGA and three static time conditions were designed: 300 s, 400 s and 500 s, from which the optimal static time was selected and SSM was established; By comparing the detection of weak agglutination and UAb before and after the application of SSM, the feasibility and effect of suspension static method were verified and evaluated.

Methods: From January 2005 to October 2009, 135 patients underwent laparoscopic surgery for adrenalectomy or prostatectomy, during which a homemade specimen retrieval bag was used. The retrieval bag was produced from a large sterile surgical glove, 2-0 nylon thread, and 1-0 RB-1 needle Vicryl thread.
Seminal vesicle cysts combined with genitourinary anomalies are uncommon. We present a 43-year-old married man who suffered from difficulty in urination and irritating voiding symptoms for 3 years. The symptoms worsened in the last 6 months.
