[Automation and organization of technological process of urinalysis].

Results of introduction into practice of a working model of industrial technology of laboratory studies and KONE Specific Supra and Miditron M devices are shown as exemplified by clinical analysis of the urine. This technology helps standardize all stages and operations, improves the efficiency of quality control of laboratory studies, rationally organizes the work at all stages of the process, creates a system for permanent improvement of the efficiency of investigations at the preanalytical, analytical, and postanalytical stages of technological process of laboratory studies. As a result of introduction of this technology into laboratory practice, violations of quality criteria of clinical urinalysis decreased from 15 to 8% at the preanalytical stage and from 6 to 3% at the analytical stage.

[Changes in the level of fructose-2,6-biphosphate in peripheral blood lymphocytes in patients with diabetes mellitus].

Variation of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (F-2,6-P2) content in the peripheral blood lymphocytes of patients with diabetes mellitus (type II) was investigated. The 2.5-fold increase of F-2,6-P2 level compared with to the control group was observed in untreated patients with early stage of the disease.
