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 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 explore the changes in foot fungus mobility and its drug resistance for further etiology investigation and clinical treatment. METHODS Sabourand′s agar culture medium was used to culture fungi, ID identification strip was employed to identify the fungi and drug sensitive test was performed by disk diffusion test. RESULTS The incidence of Trichophyton rubrum infection was the highest (79.1%). The isolated fungi were relatively sensitive to amphotericin B (AMB, 98.9%) and itraconazole (ITC, 98.0%), and resistant to 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC, 22.1%). CONCLUSIONS Detection technique of fungal infection should be improved and anti-fungal medicine should be used reasonably according to the results of drug sensitive test so that the fungal infection, especially fungi-resistant infection could be reduced.

OBJECTIVE A new piezoelectric aptamer biosensor is developed for determination of IgE. The energy converters are 10MHz AT-cut quartz crystals with gold-coated electrodes. The anti-IgE aptamers are immobilized onto the surfaces of crystals gold electrodes by biotin-avidin method. METHODS The standard substance and serum were detected to find the limit of detection and specificity of the biosensor. RESULTS The piezoelectric immunoglobulin aptamer biosensor could complete the detection without nonspecific response. Under the optimized conditions, the experimental results showed that the piezoelectric biosensor had good response to IgE whose frequency shifts were linearly dependent on IgE concentration in different range. The piezoelectric aptamer biosensor had been used to detect IgE in serum, the analytical results given by this method were in satisfactory agreement with those given by chemoluminescence method, its correlation coefficient was 0.9924. CONCLUSIONS Piezoelectric aptamer biosensor for the determination of IgE is of high sensitivity, high specificity, high analysis speed, unnecessary labeling, simple operation, real-time detection, etc. It is suitable for detection of IgE and should be used for clinical detection.

OBJECTIVE To develop new 2?5 type of piezoelectric immunoglobulin microarray immunosensor for determination of immunoglobulin.The energy converters are 10MHz AT-cut quartz crystals with gold-coated(electrodes).The monoclonal antibodies of immunoglobulin are immobilized onto the surfaces of crystals gold(electrodes) by staphylococcal protein A(SPA).METHODS The standard substance and serum were detected to find the detection time,temperature and specificity of the immunosensor.RESULTS The piezoelectric quartz(crystal) immunoglobulin microarray immunosensor could complete the detection in 15 min without nonspecific(response).Under the optimized conditions,the experimental results showed that the piezoelectric immunosensor had good(response) to immunoglobulin whose frequency shifts were linearly dependent on immunoglobulin (concentration) in different range.The piezoelectric microarray immunosensor had been used to detect(immunoglobulin) in serum,the analytical results given by this method were in satisfactory agreement with those given by traditional (immunoassay),with correlation coefficient of 0.94,0.94,0.94,0.92 and 0.91.(CONCLUSIONS) Piezoelectric microarray immunosensor for the determination of immunoglobulin is of high(sensitivity),high specificity,high analysis speed,unnecessary labelling,simple operation,real-time detection,(repeated) use,etc.It is suitable for (detecting) of immunoglobulin and should be used for clinical detection.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the methylation status and mRNA expression of the estrogen receptors(ERs) gene promoter in acute leukemic patients and detect the protein expression in leukemia cell lines with or without treatment of 5'-aza-Dc.And to find out the possibility of promoters methylation profile of estrogen receptor gene as an early diagnosis biomarker in leukemia.METHODS With RT-PCR and MSP,evaluating ERs mRNA expression and status of methylation in 40 acute leukemia patients without treatment.With Western-blot,detecting protein expression in leukemic cell lines with or without treatment of 5-azaDc.RESULTS The protein expression was significantly enhanced in all of leukemic cell lines with 5'-Aza-Dc.ER?-A was inactivated and specifically methylated(97.5%;39/40) in most of the acute leukemic patients.CONCLUSIONS The promoter ER?-A is inactivated and specifically methylated(97.5%;39/40) in most of the acute leukemic patients.This study may provide a new direction method to study the pathogenic mechanism of leukemia,and indicates that ER?-A methylation could be a potential reference marker for leukemia diagnosis.

In this article,we discussed the limitations of present clinical teaching situation, which included curriculum concept, clinical practice condition and quality of teachers. Based on the analysis of present education,we should constitute effective teaching mode,set curriculum system reasonably and take effective teaching means in the clinical teaching of laboratory medicine. It’s very important for educate students with practice talent and high integrative quality.

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.

With the goal of practice teaching for laboratory medicine students, we focus on culti-vating students' clinical thinking and scientific thinking through setting up reasonable teaching task and designing the scientific graduation thesis, and try to develop a novel practice teaching mode for laboratory medicine students. Therefore, we do exploration and practice in the following aspects: orientation training, clinical practice, medical ethics education, clinical communication ability, and scientific research design, hoping to improve students' research thinking ability and innovation ability. Through actual operation and graduation thesis writing, we try to help students to establish and improve their clinical thinking ability and innovation ability.

Objective To explore the epidemic trend of influenza and pandemic virus variation in Maanshan, and to provide scientific basis for the prevention of influenza. Methods The ILI data of monitor hospitals and some ILI nasopharyngeal specimens were collected, then influenza virus was isolated by MDCK cells, and influenza serotypes were identified by HI. Results 15 904 cases of ILI were reported from 2006 to 2007. The detectable rate of influenza like illness in outpatients was 6.63%. 2 656 nasopharyngeal specimens of ILI were collected, and 358 strains of influenza virus were isolated, with isolation rate of 13.48%, of which 142 were H1N1 subset influenza A virus, 49 were H3N2, 72 were Victoria subset influenza B virus, and 96 were Yamagata. Conclusions During 2006 and 2007 two peaks of influenza-like illness in outpatients was in winter-spring and summer seasons of each year. More attention meeds to be paid to the monitoring of influenza.
