Supported by Center of Laboratory Medicine of PLA,the Third Military Medical University launched teaching reform on laboratory diagnostics by integrating and optimizing teaching contents,adopting case centered teaching method,introducing thinking modes of evidence-based laboratory medicine and strengthening bilingual teaching.Abilities of students to determine the clinical stage and to evaluate the effect of treatment as well as prognosis of diseases were promoted.

Psoriasis is a recrudescent chronic inflammatory dermatosis which is called“tinea”in ancient times. Its pathogenesis is not only associated with changes in the blood and body fluids, but also has close connection with external infection of six evil factors. This article sorted data of pathogenesis and treatment from the perspective of external infection of six evil factors, and discovered that pathogenesis of psoriasis includes external factors of four evils of wind, cold, damp and heat and internal factors of blood deficiency and blood dryness. Ancient treatment was based on dispelling wind, clearing away heat and moistening dryness. The pathogenesis can be summarized as follows:wind and poison attack skin and hinder blood production. The treatment can be “let in air for detoxification, enrich blood and moister dryness, cooling and activating blood”, blood and functional status of organs of patients should be observed, with a purpose to provide references and basis for modern clinical prevention and treatment of psoriasis.

The terahertz laboratory medicine (THz-LabMed) is an intergrated cross-frontier field which involves multi-disciplinary including medicine,biology,biomedical engineering,physics,optics,computer science,information and materials.Using THz technologies for label-free detection and analysis of biomedical macromolecules,cell and tissues,the THz-LabMed is also the core components of terahertz biomedine (THz-BioMed) which focuses on the biomedical application of THz technologies.THz label-free detection is being paid more and more attention because of its unique advantages worldwide and becomes a hot spot for the application of THz wave technology and methods in life science.Application of THz technology in biomedicine involves many fields globally,including disease diagnosis,recognition of protein status,label-free DNA sequencing,mechanism for absorption differences of biological tissue to THz wave,and radiation influence on biological samples and biological process.THz-LabMed is the global synchronized research in THz-BioMed field in China.It is important to seize the opportunities to develop new disciplines of laboratory medicine.

70%). Imipenem was of the strongest activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa with the susceptibility of 86.3% but cefetaxime and ceftriaxone were of the weakest with the susceptibility of 6.8% and 11.0%, respectively. Conclusion The clinically isolated drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains are increasing year by year. Therefore, clinical doctors should choose antibiotics rationally in dealing with the P. aeruginosa infected patients according to drug resistance test.

OBJECTIVE To have a research on the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by fluorescence chip of molecular beacon probe.METHODS Fluorescence chip for the detection of M.tuberculosis was designed,based on the better bonding force and specificity of molecular beacon and target molecule.Hybridization efficiency was optimized,which included the concentration and purity of molecular beacon probe,hybridization temperature,hybridization time,the prescription of hybridization solution and the comparing of molecular beacon fluorescence signals of 4 molecules.RESULTS Molecular beacon fluorescence signal approached the highest when the final concentration of Mg was 5 mmol/L and the amplification efficiency of PCR approached the highest.Half extended molecular beacon probe could bind nice with chip when it was middle labeled with quench group.The results of 3 hybridization solutions were as follows: 0.15% SDS better than 0.2% SDS,10?SSC better than 5?SSC.Strong signal of hybridization reaction could be detected when the concentration of Cy3-BDH molecular beacon probe was 15 ?mol/L,the concentration of FAM-DABCLYE probe was 9 ?mol/L and the reaction time was 7 h.The efficiency of fluorescence quenching was higher when the molecule was consisted of Cy3-BDH,other than Cy3-DABCLYE.CONCLUSIONS The design of half extended molecular beacon probe tactfully makes use of the advantages of the high bonding force and specificity of molecular beacon probe on the chip technology.Fluorescence chip of molecular beacon for M.tuberculosis has satisfactory detecting rate,specificity and sensibility.

Objective To map the complete methylation status of the hMLH1 promoter in sporadic colorectal carcinoma and analyze the relationship between MVPs (methylation variable positions) of hMLH1 promoter and the expression of hMLH1. Methods Methylation status of hMLH1 promoter was measured by bisulfite sequencing. hMLH1 protein expression was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results Out of the 30 sporadic colorectal carcinoma specimens, the hypermethylation of CGIs (CpG islands) 1 was in 6 and that of CGIs 2 in 4. The hMLH1 protein was detected in 15 specimens. Chi square test showed the methylation of CGIs 1 was closely related to loss of hMLH1 protein expression (P0.05). Conclusion In CGIs 1, CpG positions from 1 to 28 are the critical region that could influence the expression of hMLH1.

Clinical biochemical test course construction in the new medical model, first of all, requires a combination of subject characteristics of the course, and proceeds with the improvement from the teaching methods and evaluation system. Secondly, we should cultivate students' doctor-patient communication skills and humanities quality in the teaching process. Finally, we should establish the effective clinical biochemical test teaching mode to achieve both teaching and learning.

Objective To explore the presence of common genetic alterations in retinoblastoma and to localize the altered genomic regions. Methods Genetic instability of chromosome 19, 20, 21, 22 and X of 15 microdissected retinoblastoma tumors were analyzed by the loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and microsatellite instability (MSI). Results Among the 15 patients with retinoblastoma, genome instability [LOH and(or) MSI] at one or more loci on the 5 chromosomes in 10 (67%), in which the loss of a single allele was more frequent in chromosomes 19 (33%) and 20 (27%) than in the other 3 chromosomes. High-frequency LOH between D19S902 and D19S571 suggested gene loci in the 19q13 region might be associated with tumor development in retina. According to the result of MSI, MSI occured at least in one subset of retinoblastoma. Conclusions Our results provide first evidence of LOH in chromosomes 19 and 20 in retinoblastoma and further support the presence of genome instability in retinoblastoma that may play an important role in the tumorigenesis or progression of retinoblastoma.

Objective To design a system for the detection of coagulation factors using piezoelectric quartz crystal (PQC) sensors and to introduce its operating principle and the main components. Methods The contrary piezoelectric response of quartz crystal was used. Based on the fuzzy and decoupling control, a singlechip computer was used for constant temperature and constant humidity control and frequency count. The plasma coagulation time was measured for the purpose of determination of the activities and contents of the coagulation factors. Results The system was convenient, precise, and consistent for the detection of the coagulation factors. Conclusion PQC sensors with high accuracy and low cost can be used in the detection of coagulation factors and has a bright future in clinical practice.
