Venous thrombotic disease is a serious disease,which impact on health and life-threatening.Pulmonary embolism and deep-vein thrombosis are the two components of a single disease called venous thromboembolism in obstetrics and gynecology.but it can be difficult to diagnose because clinical symptoms and signs are non-specific or absent in early venous thrombus embolism (VTE).It has great value that how to use the most economic,simple,efficient method for screened high-risk groups,timely and accurate laboratory diagnosis of VTE.

With the development of genomics , bioinformation , engineering , computer science and other fields, it has witnessed explosive growth of molecular diagnostic technologies.More and more technologies are used in desease diagnosis , therapy and prevention , which have presented a huge opportunity and challenge for clinical laboratory.Each technology has corresponding field of application , so it is a crucial problem for clinical laboratory to select appropriate molecular diagnostic technology for personalized medicine.

European Society of Hypertension/European Society of Cardiology jointly published new guidelines on diagnosis and treatment of hypertension in 2007.It reflected the the latest developments on comprehensive assessment,treatment modalities and strategies,as well as therapeutic approach for special populations.In addition,the new guidelines updated evaluation.It also stressed the importance of an early,faster and more stringent treatment and aggressive combination therapy.More impartantly,it requested prevention and treatment earlier.It is of great importance for the guidelines to guide the current diagnosis and treatment of hypertension.

ObjectiveTo explore the association of smoking to the Aspirin and Clopidogrel antiplatelet in patients with stable angina after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods241 smoking patients and 252 non-smoking patients underwent PCI for stable coronary artery disease, all patients had taken aspirin 100 mg/d for 7 d or more. The arachidonic acid (AA)- and adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-induced platelet aggregation were tested as they got in hospital. Then, they accepted Clopidogrel 300 mg as loading dose, continued with 75 mg/d for 3 d. The ADP-induced platelet aggregation were re-tested. ResultsThe incidence of aspirin resistance (AR) and aspirin semiresponder (ASR) was 19.1% in all the cases, and was 25.5% in smoking group, 14.3% in non-smoking group (P=0.027). Age (OR=3.79，95%CI: 1.77～8.12) and smoking (OR=1.98，95%CI: 1.18～4.43) were the independent risk factors of AR and ASR. The incidence of Clopidogrel resistance was 19.5% in all the cases, and was 13.2% in smoking group, 24.3% in non-smoking group (P=0.03). Smoking (OR=0.22，95%CI: 0.09～0.54) may reduce the risk of Clopidogrel resistance. ConclusionSmoking increased the risk of AR and ASR, but reduced the risk of Clopidogrel resistance.

Objective To survey the value of quantitative detection of urinary endotoxin for the diagnosis of gram-negative bacteria infection in urinary system,in order to provide evidences for early diagnosis and treatment.Methods The levels of urinary endotoxin were detected by kinetic turbidimetric technique,at the same time urine was cultured and WBC,CRP were detected.Results In 379 patients with gram-negative bacteria infection in urinary system,132 patients were upper urinary tract infection and 247 were lower urinary tract infection.The level of WBC,CRP and endotoxin were 11.25(7.98,13.99)× 109/L,81.36(76.64,83.50)mg/L and 49.57(17.28,78.37)pg/ml in upper urinary tract infection patients and in lower uri-nary tract infection patients were 10.24(7.94,12.24)×109/L,70.46(70.46,77.32)mg/L and 21.18(21.18,37.31)pg/ml. The group of upper urinary tract infection was higher than lower urinary tract infection on CRP and endotoxin,and have sig-nificant difference between the two groups of patients (P<0.05).Analysis of ROC,the diagnostic Cut-off value of 39.7pg/ml,the sensibility and specificity of endotoxin for the diagnosis of gram-negative bacteria infection on upper or lower urinary system were 84.1% and 90.3%.Conclusion The levels of urinary endotoxin detected by kinetic turbidimetric technique is simple and efficient,and have significant diagnosis value of gram-negative bacteria infection on upper or lower urinary sys-tem.

Objective To evaluate the clinical features and renal morphological changes of the patients with urinary tract infection associated ureteral stent.Methods From Oct.2012 to May.2013,21 patients were divided into three groups depending on the different conditions:Group A (n=7):patients who had febrile urinary tract infections associated with ureteral stents; Group B (n =7):patients with ureteral stents but no fever; Group C (n=7):patients who had febrile urinary tract infections but no ureteral stent.The clinical data,laboratory data and 99Tcm-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) renal scintigraphy results were recorded prospectively and analyzed.Results In Group A,there were two patients had flank pain and positive costovertebral angle percussion tcnderness.The mean value of white blood cells and Hs-CRP of Group A and Group C were obviously higher than Group B (P＜0.05).The ratios of pyuria were 100.0％,71.4％ and 100.0％ in Group A,B and C.The ratios of positive urine bacteuria culture were 100.0％,42.9％ and 100.0％ in Group A,B and C.The results of 99Tcm-DMSA renal scintigraphy demonstrated the decreased uptake in the different portion of the kidneys on the sides of ureteral stents inserted in all the patients in Group A but no such changes in Group B and Group C.Conclusions 99Tcm-DMSA renal scintigraphy can be used to judge the status of urinary tract infection associated ureteral stent.The febrile urinary tract infection associated with ureteral stents always means pyelonephritis occurs and prompt treatment must be given.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients with septic arthritis.Methods Twelve SLE patients with septic arthritis admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 1990 to December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.Results The median duration from onset of SLE to septic arthritis was 8.5 months (ranged from 1 to 120 months).All patients had received higher doses of steroid therapy (equal to prednisolone 1 mg ·kg-1 ·d-1) and immunosuppressant,and 5 of them had received methylprednisolone pulse therapy.The infectious manifestations included joint pain (all cases),swelling (5 cases),reduced joint function (8 cases) and fever (10 cases).All patients were oligo-arthritis.The hip and knee joints were most commonly involved.Three patients were infected by Salmonella,4 patients were infected by S.aureus,and 3 patients were infected by tuber culosis.Conclusion When SLE patients with long term steroid and immunosuppressant therapy developedacute joint pain and swelling,septic arthritis should be considered.Synovial fluid Gram stain,culture,blood culture and arthroscopy should be performed promptly.Appropriate antibiotics should be administered,and early treatment can improve the outcomes.

Objective To study the relation of leptin,TNF-? in serum of patients with metabolic syndrome and its components.Methods Test leptin and TNF-? level of residents over 20 years old in two communities in Harbin City,grouping case-control study base on the constitutive ratio of actual age.Results Leptin was associated with obesity,and the higher leptin levels,the higher risk of suffering from metabolic syndrome.The relationship between leptin levels and metabolic syndrome was affected by age and gender.The lower level of TNF-?,the higher risk of metabolic syndrome.The patients with lower level of TNF-? were 1.859 times more likely to suffer from disease compared with people with higher level.Conclusion The effects of high level of leptin are significant on metabolic syndrome,especially for old males,and are associated with obesity component.TNF-? is related to plasma glucose and blood presure,and is good for metabolic syndrome,but its biological mechenism should be researched continuously.
