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.

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.

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.

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.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the epidemiology of fungemia and provide evidence for clinical therapy.METHODS A retrospective survey was done with the 69 cases of fungemia in our hospital from Jan 2004 to Dec 2008.RESULTS More than 65% of the patients suffered from two and more underlying diseases.Over a half of infections were developed following placement of catheters.And all of the patients had a history of antimicrobial agents use before blood culture.53(76.8%) cases were associated with Candida spp.Only 18 strains were C.albicans.The mortality rate of fungemia was 44.9%.Different Candida species had different resistance rates to antifungal agents.CONCLUSIONS Fungemia patients often have serious underlying diseases.Most fungemia cases are candidemia caused by non-C.albicans.Some fungal pathogens are resistant to fluconazole and itraconazole.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate primarily the detection limit,specificity and reproducibility of immuno-PCR assay on HIV-1 p24 antigen.METHODS We p24 antigen were detected by established immuno-PCR system,and then the detection limit,specificity and reproducibility were discussed.We quantitatively analyzed the nonspecific amplified bands with fluorescence intensity(FI),and a preliminary determination of the lower specific amplification limit was made.RESULTS We taken(x-+3s)FI of nonspecific amplification as the lower limit of specific amplification signal.The detection limit of immuno-PCR assay was 0.1 ng/L.CONCLUSIONS The detection limit,specificity and reproducibility can meet the needs of HIV-1 p24 antigen detection.

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.

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.
