A novel simultaneous injection effective mixing analysis system (SIEMA) for determination of direct bilirubin in urine sample was developed. Bilirubin reacts with diazotized sulfanilic acid in the presence of n-octyl-β-d-thioglucoside (OTG) as a solubilizing agent to form OTG-azobilirubin. The flow and chemical variables were investigated. A linear calibration graph for direct bilirubin was obtained over the range of 0-1.0 mg L(-1) (r(2)=0.994) with the limit of detection (3σ) of 4.7 μg L(-1), and the relative standard deviation (RSD) being 1.9% (n=11, 0.5 mg L(-1) of direct bilirubin). The results in healthy adult urine obtained by the proposed approach were found in good agreement with those obtained by the batch-wise diazo method.

Objective: To investigate and assess hemolytic transfusion reaction in patient with complex and combined anti-Fy and anti-Jk which so as to provide a safety blood transfusion strategy.

Methods: ABO/Rh blood grouping, antibody screening and identification, and Coombs' tests were performed by the routine serological methods include manual tube and automatic blood group analyzer with matching micro-column gel cards from Diagnostic Grifols and Jiangsu LIBO. The hospital information system and laboratory information system were used to collect dada on patients' blood routine tests, liver and kidney function, coagulation, cardiac function, and other clinical indicators before and after blood transfusion were analyzed and compared in conjunction with the patients' clinical manifestations.

To understand the colonization status of Group B Streptococcus (GBS) in the reproductive tract of pregnant women in the Linyi region, the drug resistance, genotype distribution, and molecular epidemiological characteristics of GBS, and to explore the high-risk factors for GBS infection in late-stage pregnant women. A total of 3269 pregnant women at 35-37 weeks of gestation who visited the Obstetrics Department of Linyi Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2019 to December 2021 were selected as the study subjects. Vaginal and rectal swabs were collected for GBS culture.

Objective:  This study aimed to evaluate the severity of liver fibrosis in chronic liver disease patients using aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI), fibrosis-4 (FIB-4), FibroScan, and the Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) score. It emphasized assessing fibrosis progression toward cirrhosis (F4 stage) and exploring the correlation between non-invasive markers and the CTP score for liver function and prognosis.

Methodology: This observational cross-sectional study was conducted over one calendar year in the Department of Medicine at Baba Raghav Das (BRD) Medical College, Gorakhpur, India.
