Background: Patient-based real-time quality control (PBRTQC) has gained increasing attention in clinical laboratory management. Although its valuable characteristics complement traditional quality control measures, its performance and practical application have faced scrutiny. In this study, patient-based pre-classified real-time quality control (PCRTQC), an extended approach was devised to enhance real-time quality control protocols.

Methods: PCRTQC distinguishes itself by incorporating an additional patient pre-classification step utilising the OPTICS algorithm, thus addressing interference from diverse patient types. The complete set of patient test results obtained from a clinical chemistry analyser at The First Hospital of China Medical University in 2021 was utilised. Constant error (CE) and proportional error (PE) were introduced as analytical errors. Four analytes were selected to evaluate the PCRTQC, measuring probability for false rejection (Pfr) and the average number of patient samples until error detection (ANPed). Relevant error detection charts were generated.

Results: The PCRTQC outperformed regression-adjusted real-time quality control (RARTQC) based on the ANPed by approximately 50% for both the CE and PE, compared to the RARTQC, particularly for the total allowable error threshold.

Conclusion: The pre-classification step effectively reduced inter-individual variation and improved data preprocessing, filtering, and modelling. The PCRTQC is a robust framework for real-time quality control research.

Purpose: To compare the effectiveness and safety of CT-guided iodine-125 seed brachytherapy in conjunction with chemotherapy against chemotherapy alone for the management of intermediate and advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) lacking oncogenic driving genes.

Methods And Materials: Retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 128 patients diagnosed with intermediate and advanced non-small cell lung cancer who received iodine-125 combined with chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone due to the absence of oncogenic driver gene mutations. The patients in two groups were compared at 6-month follow-up for objective remission rate (ORR), Disease control rate (DCR), local progression-free survival (LPFS), overall survival (OS), clinical symptom improvement, and adverse events.

This study utilizes single-cell RNA sequencing data to reveal the transcriptomic characteristics of breast cancer and normal epithelial cells. Nine significant cell populations were identified through stringent quality control and batch effect correction. Further classification of breast cancer epithelial cells based on the PAM50 method and clinical subtypes highlighted significant heterogeneity between triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and non-triple-negative breast cancer (NTNBC).
