Non-cultural laboratory diagnostic methods include fungal antigen detection, anti-fungal antibody detection and molecular methods. Fungal antigen detection aim at ( 1, 3 )-β-D-glucan, galactomannan, cryptococcal capsular polysaccharide antigen and candida mannan antigen.Different antigen is used to diagnose different fungal infection.Antifungal antibody include antibody against Histoplasma capsulatum, Coccidioides immitis/Paracoccidiodes and Blastomyces dermatitidis.Molecular methods include non-amplification nucleic acid detection, nucleic acid amplification test, direct sequencing and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry ( MALDI-TOF MS ) technology.Even though molecular methods are limited because of no standardization, the future of its usage is promising.

Objective To investigate the expression, relationship, significance of cyclooxygenase_2 (COX-2) and malonic dialdehyde (MDA) after cerebral ischemic-reperfusion injury and provide basis of treatment. Methods The focal cerebral ischemic-reperfusion model was established with thread embolish of middle cerebral artery. Western blotting, barhituric acid method and neurological evaluation were used to examine the expression of COX-2, MDA in cortex and the changes of neurological function;TTC staining was used to observe the changes of cerebral infarction volume. Results COX-2 prorein expression was correclated well with the MDA(r=0.910,P＜0.01). The content of COX-2 and MDA was very low in sham operation group, they were increased significantly at I2h/R6h model group, with the increase of reperfusion time,they remarkably reached its peak at I2h/R24h,they were slightly lower at I2h/R48h, but still maintained at a high level;Compared with model group, in tetramethylpyrazine(TMP) treatment group, the content of MDA and cerebral infarction volume were markedly decreased(P＜0.01). Conclusion The expression of COX-2 and MDA increases in cerebral ischemic-reperfusion injury.It indicates they may play an important role in the mechanisms of cerebral ischemic-reperfusion injury;TMP has neuroprotective effect.

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing is an important tool for guiding rational use of antimicrobial agents in clinical settings.Proper use of antimicrobial susceptibility testing results requires clinicians and clinical microbiologists to have the knowledge of antimicrobial susceptibility testing and breakpoints,and have the ability to use pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) principles to optimize antimicrobial therapy regimen.(Chin J Lab Med,2013,36:289-291)

0.05).Conclusion The peptide growth factors can activate the Akt kinase by phosphorylation.This process depends on the production of H2O2 and the presence of PTEN.

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro activity of Ciprofloxacin(CIP)or Amikacin(AK)combined with four clinically-used antipseudomonas ?-lactams against multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains.Methods Determining the MICs of six antibiotics to 35 clinically isolated Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains which have different resistance patterns by 2-fold broth dilution method;determining the in vitro activity of Ciprofloxacin or Amikacin combined with Ceftazidime(CAZ),Imipenem(IMP),Meropenem(MEM)and Piperacillin/Tazobactam(TZP)by broth checkerboard method.Results The combinations of Ciprofloxacin or Amikacin with four ?-lactams have mainly synergistic or additive effect,the synergistic rate of AK-group(AK+CAZ:71.43%;AK+IMP:42.86%;AK+MEM:54.29%;AK+TZP:85.71%)was higher than that of CIP-group(CIP+CAZ:20%;CIP+IMP:25.71%;CIP+MEM:14.29%;CIP+TZP:31.43%).The combination of CIP+TZP has the highest synergistic rate in CIP-group;the combination of AK+TZP has the highest synergistic rate in AK-group.None of the combinations had an antagonistic effect.Conclusion the combination of ciprofloxacin or amikacin with ?-lactams have good in vitro activity to multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains.

Objective To investigate the effect of thalidomide and As_2O_3 to the secretion of VEGF of the cell of ANLL and study if there is coorperation in thalidomide and As_2O_3.Methods From October 2001 to February 2003,23 patients with ANLL were analyzed.Heparinized marrow was taken,then it was putt into Ficoll-isopaque solution to be purified for MNC,which was cultured in the RPMI 1 640 medium,placed in 5% CO_2 saturation and 37℃ to proliferation.Choosing the cells in logarithm growth phase,adding cultural solution to abstaining the cellular density of 2?10~9/L and then putting it into 24-well plates.There are 4 groups :contrast group,thalidomide(300 ?g?mL~ -1 )group,As_2O_3(25 ?mol/L)group,and thalidomide(300 ?g?mL~ -1 )andAs_2O_3(25 ?mol/L)group,cultured for 72 hours.Examine the concentration of VEGF in upper liquid with ELISA method.Results The concentration of VEGF in upper liquid of 4 groups were respectively(1 582.67?281.51)ng/L、(1 206.29?264.87)ng/L、(941.72?236.34)ng/L、(639.12?211.98)ng/L.There were statisticd difference(P

Objective To investigate the CT imaging features of pancreatic fatty replacement and its clinical significance. Methods Three patients with pancreatic fatty replacement detected by CT were retrospectively analyzed. CT examination included plain scan and contrast-enhanced scanning at the arterial and portal venous phases. The shape, size, density, pancreatic lobulation and interlobular spaces, course of the pancreatic duct were carefully observed. The clinic and laboratory data were also analyzed to determine the clinical significance of pancreatic fatty replacement. Results ①Imaging features: Two patients had complete fatty replacement involving the entire pancreas, another one had most fatty replacement sparing the posterior aspect of head and tail. Two patients had regular configuration of pancreas. The size of pancreas was slightly enlarged in 2 patients. Lobular atrophy and widening of interlobular spaces were present in all 3 patients. The pancreatic duct was normal in 3 patients. ②Clinic findings: Chronic diarrhea was present in 3 patients. Two patiens had diabetes (one had chronic cholangitis with choledochal lithiasis), another one had small stone in the common bile duct. Serum lipase was low in 3 patients, of which one had low serum amylase. Conclusion Pancreatic fatty replacement demonstrates certain characteristic CT appearances, and is usually associated with disturbances of both the endocrine and exocrine functions of the pancreas.

Objective To investigate the application of ultrasound and blood indicators in diagnosis of early liver cirrhosis (S4) for patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB).Methods Data of blood and ultrasound examinations of 631 patients with CHB who received liver biopsy in the Sixth People' s Hospital of Shenyang during April 2002 and March 2011 were collected.Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the factors independently correlated with early liver cirrhosis,and the diagnostic model was established using these indicators.The diagnostic value of the established model was assessed by using area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) and compared with FIB-4 index,aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/platelet (PLT) ratio index (APRI) and S index.Results Logistic regression analysis indicated that age,PLT,albumin globulin ratio (A/G) and splenic square area (SPS) in ultrasound findings were independently correlated to early liver cirrhosis (Wald =10056,46.236,3.751 and 10.669,P ＜0.01).AUROC of the model based on the above factors in diagnosing early liver cirrhosis was 0.908,which was higher than those of FIB-1 index,APRI index and S index (Z =8.322,4.334 and 4.087,P ＜ 0.05).Taking 0.063 as cut-off value,the sensitivity,specificity,positive predict value and negative predict value of the established model in diagnosis of early liver cirrhosis were 90.1％,77.8％,50.0％ and 97.1％,respectively.Taking ＜0.060 and ≥0.110 as the cut-off values to exclude,and diagnose early liver cirrhosis,69.7％ (440/631) patients could avoid liver biopsy.Conclusion The model based on age,PLT,A/G and SPS can effectively predict early liver cirrhosis,and can reduce liver biopsy.
