Objective To explore the clinical value of flow cytometry( FCM) and DNA automated cell image analyzer ( AICM) in determine the character of ascites and pleural effusion.Methods This was a cross-sectional study.203 ascites and pleural effusionsamples were random selected from PLA hospital inpatients between August 2013 to June 2014 .The DNA content of sediment cells were detectedthrough the FCM and AICM respectively benign and malignant disease were differentiated according the counts and proportion of aneuploid cells.The sensitivity, specificitywere calculated byROC curves.Results The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of flow cytometry cell in detectingtumor cells were 78.6%,80.0% and 79.2%%, while the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of image analyzer were 83.5%,78.6% and 81. 3%respectively.When FCM and AICMwere combined ,the sensitivity, specificity and accuracyincreased to 92.2%, 86.3% and 89.6%.Conclusions Compared toconventional cytology test, the sensitivity and specificity were significantly high when the two methods were combined .Therefore, the combination method can be used to assist in clinical identification of the nature of ascites and pleural effusion and to help the diagnosis of disease.

After participating in the student selection training and on-site refereeing of the clinical examination skills competition for college students in Sichuan-Chongqing region twice in succession, the author combined the on-site performance and competition results of the participating students with pre-match training experience and normal teaching experience. A comprehensive analysis found that the students' proficiency in basic testing skills, psychological quality and humanistic quality have an important impact on the results of the competition. Teachers should not only pay attention to the quality of basic skills training and theoretical knowledge teaching in practical teaching, but also pay attention to the cultivation of students' teamwork ability and good working habits. Therefore, the clinical laboratory skills competition has a strong leading role in promoting the education and teaching reform of medical laboratory technology and improving the quality of professional practice teaching. It is hoped that more medical colleges and universities will pay attention to and participate in it, and further promote the development of practical teaching of medical laboratory technology.

Objective:To investigate the effect of treatment of spinal meningioma with microsurgical procedures.Methods:From January 2003 to March 2022, there were 120 patients who had spinal meningioma and treated in the Department of Neurosurgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. Their clinical data were retrospectively analysed. Of the 120 patients, there were 90 females and 30 males, aged from 14 to 85 (average, 54) years old. According to McCormick Classification, 29 cases were in grade I, 59 cases were in grade II, 25 cases were in grade III, and 7 cases were in grade IV. They were all underwent microsurgery. Patients were followed up by outpatient service within 3 months after surgery, then reviewed by outpatient visits and telephone interviews. McCormick's classification method and MRI examination were used to analyse the neurological and imaging changes of the patients before and after the surgery.Results:A total of 113 patients had complete resection and 7 had the resection of most part of the spinal meningioma. No infection, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, other complications and death occurred. Three months after surgery, 95 patients achieved the improvement or even completely disappearance of symptoms (such as numbness, pain, limited movement, etc.). There were 23 patients who had the symptoms unchanged as what before the surgery. Two patients had the symptoms worsened after the surgery. At 3 months after surgery, 95 cases (79.2%) improved, 23 cases (19.2%) were stable, and 2 cases (1.6%) aggravated. According to McCormick classification method, 92 cases were in grade Ⅰ, 15 cases were in gradeⅡ, 10 cases were in grade Ⅲ, and 3 cases were in grade Ⅳ. MRI scans showed that the dural sac were well refluxed, and no recurrence was found.Conclusion:Microsurgery is safe and effective for removal of spinal meningioma, with significant improvement in symptoms with fewer complications.
