Clinical review and drug sensitivity test of complex isolates in non-lactating patients with severe mastitis.

Background: Previous microbiological investigations have demonstrated a significant correlation between complex (CKC) infection and mastitis. Recent studies have confirmed the existence of the CKC, with () identified as the primary infectious agent. Examining the incidence of CKC in cases of severe non-lactational mastitis, alongside the clinical characteristics of infected patients, as well as evaluating the drug sensitivity testing protocols for CKC, can provide a more robust foundation for the diagnosis and treatment of CKC infections.

Analytical and Clinical Evaluation of a Chemiluminescent Immunoassay to Detect Serum Chitinase-3-like Protein 1 in HBV-Related Liver Diseases.

Serum chitinase-3-like protein 1 (CHI3L1) is a diagnostic marker for liver diseases, such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Herein, we aimed to evaluate the analytical performance of a chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) for the quantitative detection of CHI3L1 and its application in hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related liver diseases. The CLIA for CHI3L1 detection presented good analytical performance, with a linear range of 1.
