    Systematic review and meta-analysis of within-subject and between-subject biological variation estimates of 20 haematological parameters
    (WALTER DE GRUYTER GMBH, 2020-01-01) Coskun, Abdurrahman; Braga, Federica; Carobene, Anna; Tejedor Ganduxe, Xavier; Aarsand, Aasne K.; Fernandez-Calle, Pilar; Diaz-Garzon Marco, Jorge; Bartlett, William; Jonker, Niels; Aslan, Berna; Minchinela, Joana; Boned, Beatriz; Gonzalez-Lao, Elisabet; Marques-Garcia, Fernando; Perich, Carmen; Ricos, Carmen; Simon, Margarita; Sandberg, Sverre; Chem, European Federation Clinical
    Background: Interpretation of the complete blood count (CBC) parameters requires reliable biological variation (BV) data. The aims of this study were to appraise the quality of publications reporting BV data for CBC parameters by applying the BV Data Critical Appraisal Checklist (BIVAC) and to deliver global BV estimates based on BIVAC compliant studies. Methods: Relevant publications were identified by a systematic literature search and evaluated for their compliance with the 14 BIVAC criteria, scored as A, B, C or D, indicating decreasing compliance. Global CVI and CVG estimates with 95\% CI were delivered by a meta-analysis approach using data from BIVAC compliant papers (grades A-C). Results: In total, 32 studies were identified

    Objective: A modified method for screening of six lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) by tandem mass spectrometry was presented. Methods: The enzyme activities for six LSDs (Gaucher, Pompe, Krabbe, Fabry, Niemann-Pick A/B and Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I) was measured by using ultra-HPLC and mass spectrometry. After overnight incubation of dried blood spots with three distinct reaction cocktails containing substrates and internal standards, reactions were stopped and online trapping was performed with ultra-HPLC preceding to mass spectrometry. Ultra-HPLC was equipped with online solid phase extraction and Hypersil Gold C8 analytical columns and coupled with TSQ Quantum Access Max mass spectrometry. Results: Activities of acid-ss-glucocerebrosidase (ABG), acid glucosidase (GAA), galactocerebroside-ss-galactosidase (GALC), acid-galactosidase A (GLA), acid sphingomyelinase (ASM), and alpha-L-iduronidase (IDU) were obtained from DBSs of patients and healthy individuals. The intra- and inter-assay precisions were <20\% (CV). Conclusion: Our modified method, needing less DBS punches and only three reaction coctails, with the online trapping methodology, accurately differentiates newborns with LSDs from healthy newborns.
