International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2014;(13):1774-1775
Objective To study the dilution model of the early pregnancy test strip for the quantitative detection of serumβ-hu-man chorionic gonadotropin(β-hCG)level by the Abbot AxSYM detection system and its application.Methods The detection re-sults of serumβ-hCG level in 5 612 outpatients and inpatients of the internal medicine department and the gynecology and obstetrics department during 5 years were retrospectively analyzed.In addtion,234 serum samples from the patients were collected for prelimi-narily determining the serumβ-hCG level by the early regnancy test strip and then the quantitative detection of serumβ-hCG level was detected by the Abbot AxSYM detection system.Results The retrospective analysis showed that 241 cases(4.6%)were low-age pregnant women.The qualitative screening was necessary.The screening model was successfully established.But one thing to note was that the part of serum sample needed to be taken out and put into another tube for determination.Conclusion Establishing the rational and effective dilution interpretation model of early pregnancy test strip for screening serumβ-hCG can bring the econom-ic and time benifits for the routine detection work of the Abbot AxSYM detection system.

International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2014;(13):1722-1724
Objective To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of clinical common isolated bacteria from our hospital in 2013.Methods The antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out by using the automated systems with the MIC method and Kirby-Bauer method.The WHONET 5.6 software was adopted to conduct the data analysis according to the CLSI standard in 2013 version.Results A total of 4 168 strains of bacteria were clinically isolated in 2013,in which Gram-positive bacterial strains ac-counted for 21 .8%(907/4 168)and Gram-negative bacterial strains for 78.2%(3 261/4 168).The prevalence of methicillin-resist-ant strains in S.aureus and coagulase negative staphylococcus was 48.7% and 80.9% respectively.No staphylococcal strain with resistant and intermediate to vancomycin and linezolid was found.Penicillin-resistant S.pneumonia strain was not found.And 1 strain of vancomycin- resistant E.faecium was found.The prevalence of ESBLs - producing strains was 58.8% in E.coli and 35.8% in K.pneumonia.Non-fermentative bacilli accounted for 37.5% in all bacterial isolates.The percentage of P.aeruginosa re-sistant to imipenem and meropenem was 19.3% and 14.2% respectively,the percentage of A.baumannii resistant to imipenem and meropenem was 68.9% and 67.0% respectively.Conclusion The isolation rate of non-fermentative bacilli is increased,the drug re-sistance rate of P.aeruginosa and A.baumannii is declined than that in 2012.Strengthening the surveillance of bacterial drug resist-ance in hospital has important significance for guiding rational selection of antimicrobial agents in clinic.
