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.

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.

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.

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 investigate the variation of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) expression and lipid peroxidation in aorta and plasma of Ins2~ Akita diabetic mice, and to inquire into the relationship between the variation and the cardiovascular diseases in diabetic patients. Methods With the aortic and plasma samples from Ins2Akita diabetic mice, the protein expression levels of VCAM-1 were detected by Western Blot or ELISA, and the levels of lipid peroxides were determined by lipid peroxidation kit. Results Compared with that of normal control, VCAM-1 protein and lipid peroxides levels were significantly elevated in the aorta and plasma of Ins2~ Akita diabetic mice (P

Objective To compare 2 methods to immobilize probes on the surface of gold membrane and select the better one for aptamer immobilization of aptamer-based piezoelectric quartz crystal sensor. Methods Anti-IgE aptamers were immobilized on the gold surface of piezoelectric quartz crystal sensor with thiol method or biotin-avidin method. The changes of frequency were compared in reactions with different concentrations of IgE. Results Biotin-avidin method obtained higher frequency changes in the reactions of IgE, lower limit of detection and wider liner range than thiol method. For biotin-avidin method, there was significant linear correlation between frequency changes and the concentration of IgE with the correlation coefficient of 0.994 5. Conclusion The thiol method which is proved effective for probe immobilization on gene sensor is unfit for aptamer immobilization. Biotin-avidin method has a better ability to immobilize probe on the surfaces of aptamer-based piezoelectric quartz crystal sensor.

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.
