Circulating immune complexes (CICs) are produced during the immune response. It is more clinically important to establish a general and efficient CICs dissociation technique for the detection of antigens for CICs other than the detection of free antigens in the serum. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) two-precipitation separation and glycine-HCl as a buffer system were employed to develop a general and efficient buffer dissociation technique to separate CICs from serum and dissociate antigens from CICs.

Nonleukemic myeloid sarcoma (MS) is a rare tumor that can occur in several locations without myeloid leukemia. We reported a first case of nonleukemic MS of the spleen involving the liver in a 5-month-old boy presenting with hematochezia, petechial hemorrhage, fever, and hepatosplenomegaly. Bone marrow trephine biopsy and immunophenotypic flow cytometry revealed no evidence of myeloid leukemia.

- Researchers developed a method using gram probe real-time PCR to simultaneously detect and differentiate bacteria in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from children with suspected bacterial meningitis.
- The study accurately identified 25 clinical bacterial strains and showed that PCR had a detection limit of 10 colony-forming units/mL.
- The positive detection rate for the PCR method (6.64%) was significantly higher than traditional CSF culture (4.77%), suggesting GP-PCR could be a promising diagnostic tool for bacterial meningitis.
