This article describes the activity of the "Medical termonology practical committee (MTPC) of Korean Medical Association (KMA). In 2001, MTPC of KMA published the 4th edition of "English-Korean, Korean-English Medical terminology" which contains about 5,000 medical terms. The MTPC will continue reviewing the vocabularies. Obsolete terms will be discarded, new terms will be added, and the remainder will be revised by through-going revision of vocabulary. Our aim is to reflect the current usage of medical terms in the form of easily understandable Korean terms.

Objective To investigate the sensitivity and specificity of different assays for detection of Chlamydia trachomatis . Methods Chlamydia trachomatis was determined in samples of cervical secretions from 213 patients with nongonococcal urethritis or genitourinary tract infection by direct immunofluorescence assay (DFA ) ,gold-immunochromatographic assay (ICA ) and real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (FQ-PCR) .Results Comparing the positive rates of Chlamydia trachoma-tis detected by adopting the DAF ,FQ-PCR and the ICA methods showed the statistical difference (P<0 .05) .The sensitivity and specificity of Chlamydia trachomatis detected by DFA ,ICA and FQ-PCR were 95 .1% ,60 .2% ,97 .3% and 93 .2% ,99 .2% , 99 .3% ,respectively .The sensitivity of the DFA and FQ-PCR methods was higher than that of the ICA method ,difference was sta-tistically significant(P<0 .05) ,The specificity of the ICA and FQ-PCR methods was higher than that of the DFA method ,differ-ence was statistically significant (P<0 .05) .Conclusion The FQ-PCR method has higher sensitivity and higher specificity for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis and can provide the reliable basis for clinically diagnosing the infection of Chlamydia trachom-atis .The primary medical units is suitable to adopt the ICA method for detecting Chlamydia trachomatis .

Objective]Observe the clinical effects of acupuncture treatment of athletes uterine bleeding. [Method]This study included 90 patients with uterine bleeding, randomly divided into three groups, treatment group 30 cases treated by acupuncture. The western medicine control group 30 cases treated with western medicine. Chinese medicine control group 30 cases were treated by traditional Chinese medicinal broth. One treatment course(after 30d) observation curative effect.[Results]The western medicine control group 15 cases cured, 6 cases were markedly effective, 6 cases better, 3 had no effect, the total effective rate was 90%. Traditional Chinese medicine control group 21 cases cured, 6 cases had marked effect, improvement in 3 cases, the total effective rate was 100%. Treatment group: 24 cases were cured, 3 cases had marked effect, improvement in 3 cases, the total effective rate was 100%.[Conclusions]Three treatments had curative effect, but the side effects of western medicine stopped taking the drug repeatedly; for the special athletes, the acupuncture treatment is worthy of popularization and application.

OBJECTIVE:To establish early warning mechanisms of antibiotics drug resistance,and to provide reference for ra-tional drug use in the clinic. METHODS:The consumption amount of top 3 to 10 drugs in the list of consumption sum and amount in outpatient prescription and inpatient medical orders of our hospital during 2014 was analyzed statistically,including antibiotics, anti-tumor drugs,drugs for cardiovascular system,drugs for digestive system,biologicals. Top 5 Gram-positive bacterial and Gram-negative bacterial which induced infection in our hospital in Nov. 2014 was analyzed statistically in terms of resistant rate. RE-SULTS:Total consumption sum of drugs was 16 038.28 ten thousand yuan in our hospital in 2014,accounting for 27.95%;antibi-otics drugs accounted for 9.55%(1 531.44 ten thousand yuan) of total consumption sum,drugs for cardiovascular system 3.30%(529.60 ten thousand yuan),drugs for digestive system 8.32%(1 333.68 ten thousand yuan),anti-tumor drugs 2.93%(469.27 ten thousand yuan),and biologicals 3.50%(561.22 ten thousand yuan). 1 575 bacterial samples were detected in Nov. 2014,and bacte-rial were detected in 358 samples with positive rate of 22.73%. 136 Gram-positive bacterial were detected,and top 5 were Staphylo-coccus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus faecium and Streptococcus agalactiae. 222 Gram-negative bacterial were detected,and top 5 were Escherichia coli,Klebsiella pneumoniae,Acinetobacter baumannii,Hae-mophilus influenzae and Enterobacter cloacae. CONCLUSIONS:Five categories of drugs used in our hospital is rational compara-tively,and the proprotion of antibiotics in total consumption sum is much lower than other hospitals;control and standardization of antibiotics use has made some achievements.

Objective To reduce the hypokalemia caused by inner environment imbalance effectively in order to lower the death rate and improve the prognosis for patients with severe cranial injury.Methods Seventy-five patients with severe cranial injury who had hypokalemia were studied retrospoctively from October 10th,2003 to July 30th,2006.Results The waves of electrocardiogram and changes of illness condition was closely observed,the volume:of intake and output and kalium outcome was accurately recorded.Kalium was supplemented as early as possible.the amount was adjusted by the use of dehydratins agents and biochemical kalium.Only timely and effective monitoring and treatment could complications be reduced or prevented.Conclusions Severe cranial injury is one of the most severe trauma,timely monitoring and nursing measures are key point for rectification of hypokalemia for patients with severe cranial injury.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of the pegylated interferon alpha-2a (PEG-IFN-a-2a)in treatment of chronic hepatitis C.Methods 170 cases of patients with chronic hepatitis C were included in the study,by using digital table method they were randomly divided into two groups,the observation group of 85 cases were treated with PEG-IFN-alpha-2a therapy,and 85 cases in the control group using ordinary interferon alpha-2b therapy.Curative effect and safety of two groups of patients were compared.Results The obser-vation group treated for 12 weeks,24 weeks and 24 weeks of alanine aminotransferase (ALT)and improvement rate were respectively 70.59%,80%,92.94%,which were higher than that of the control group (52.94%,62.35% and 70.58%)(χ2 =5.42,6.71,4.83,all P<0.05).The observation group for 12 weeks,24 weeks and 24 weeks of HCV-RNA negative rate were 64.71%,75.29%and 91.76%,obviously were higher than the control group of50.59%, 61.18% and 70.59% (χ2 =4.28,7.68,6.31,all P<0.05).Adverse reaction rates were not statistically signifi-cant.Conclusion The pegylated interferon alpha-2a (PEG-IFN-a-2a)in treatment of chronic hepatitis C has a significant curative effect of PEG-IFN-alpha-2a therapy in chronic hepatitis C,which is better than the ordinary interferon alpha-2b,and is worthy of extensive promotion and application.

Objective To study the etiology of surgical infection and antibiotic resistance of infective bacteria,so as to provide evidence for clinical treatment.Method The composition and antibiotic resistance in surgical specimens of pathogenic bacteria from January 2008 to December 2010 was analyzed retrospectively.Results A total of 321 pathogens isolated,Gram-negative bacteria 201,accounting for 62.6％,Gram-positive cocci 114,accounting for 35.5％,Fungus 6,accounting for 1.9％.Escherichia coli 116(36.1％),Klebsiella pneumoniae 24(7.5％),Staphylococcus aureus 34(10.6％),Pseudomonas aeruginosa 18(5.6％),Enterococcus faecalis 16(5.0％).Staphylococcus species of Staphylococci methicillinresistant Staphylococcus atureus(MRS),Coagulase-negative staphylococci MRS and ultra wide-spectrum beta-lactamases(ESBLs)detection rate was 52.9％(18/34),83.7％(36/43)and 35.0％(49/140),respectively.The resistance rates of Gram-negative bacilli to piperacillin/tazobactam,ceftazidime,amikacin,imipenem and meropenem were below 20％,Gram-positive cocci,staphylococci to new compound sulfamethoxazole,minocycline,rifampin,vancomycin,teicoplanin and fusidic acid resistance rates were less than 40％,various pathogens had varies resistance.Conclusions Specimens of surgical infection pathogens widely distribute in different drug-resistant bacteria,some strains of multi-drug resistant infection,causing clinical failure of empirical therapy,clinical laboratory susceptibility results should be based on the rational use of antibiotics,to avoid the overuse of antibiotics.

microRNA(miRNA) ,a class of small noncoding RNAs,negatively regulates gene expression at post-transcriptional level, and is involved in many fundamental biological processes, including development,apoptosis and cell proliferation, p53 is a transcription factor that plays a critical role in the control of cell cycle and apoptosis. Aberrant expression of either miRNA or p53 intimately links to tumorigenesis. This article reviews recent advances in the study of inter-relatioship between miRNA and p53 in tumorigenesis.

English pronunciation course is a main course that trains learners'basic pronunciation skills.It is important to improve learners'pronunciation skills as well as to train learners'language sensitivity and linguistic expression of emotions by emphasizing the development of English pronunciation course,choosing a teacher who receives systematic pronunciation training and appropriate teaching materials.Moreover,a stage test can effectively evaluate learners'pronunciation development and the pronunciation teaching.
