Serum insulin immunoassay plays an important role in the investigation of glucose metabolic disorders. Insulin assay has undergone method innovations for 50 years. Diverse insulin molecular immunogenicity and multiform biological activities, in addition to the immunoassay complexity, make serum insulin assays practically interfered by the factors such as blood sample qualities, serum anti-insulin antibodies and immunological cross-reactivity. Meanwhile, lack of standardization has imposed obstacles in the comparative studies among different reference laboratories.

Objective To investigate the mycoplasma separation rate in the patient with genitourinary tract inflammation in our hospital and the in vitro sensitivity to 12 kinds of antibacterial drugs for guiding clinical rational drug use.Methods 8 546 cases of genitourinary tract specimen were collected from our hospital STD clinical department and performed the culture and the in vitro drug susceptibility test by adopting the mycoplasma culture,identification and drug susceptibility integration reagent kit.Results Among 8 546 cases of patient specimen,3237 cases were mycoplasma positive,in which 2 897 cases (89.5%)were simple Ureaplas-ma urealyticum(Uu)positive,39 cases (1.2%)were simple Mycoplasma hominis (Mh)positive and 301 cases (9.3%)were Uu and Mh positive,there was statistically significant difference between any two groups (P <0.01 );the drug susceptibility test showed that the top 3 of sensitivity rates to antibacterial drugs in 2 897 cases of Uu infection from high to low were josamycin (98.4%),doxycline (97.9%)and minomycin (97.6%),the top 3 of drug resistance rates from high to low were ciprofloxacin (71.8%),spiramycin (46.8%)and ofloxacin (35.6%).The top 3 of sensitivity rates to antibacterial drugs in 39 cases of Mh infec-tion from high to low were josamycin (96.7%),doxycline (91.2%)and minomycin(90.8%),and the top 3 of drug resistance rates were ofloxacin (68.9%),ciprofloxacin (67.8%)and roxithromycin (54.2%).The top 3 of sensitivity rates to antibacterial drugs in 301cases of Uu and Mh infection from high to low were doxycline (95.2%),minomycin (94.8%)and josamycin (92.1%),and the top 3 of drug resistance rates from high to low were ciprofloxacin (83.3%),ofloxacin (80.1%)and levofloxacin (76.3%).Conclu-sion Uu and Mh are the common pathogens of genitourinary tract infection.Mycoplasma isolated from genitourinary tract speci-mens in our hopsital is dominated by Uu,so the drugs with higher sensitivity such as josamycin,doxycycline and minocycline should be used as the first choice in the treatment of mycoplasma infection.

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) exist in the tumor microenvironment,and can be affected by various anticancer treatments and further affect tumor progression.Increasing evidence suggests that many of the clinical antitumor measures can play a unique and effective antitumor effect by regulating the recruitment,polarization and related pro-tumor behavior of macrophages in the tumor microenvironment.Now,tumor microenvironment immune remodeling has become a hot spot in the research of anti-tumor therapy.This paper reviews the related research progress on antitumor effects of TAMs as an therapeutic target.

Objective To explore the impact of transtheoretical model on sun protection behaviors of soldiers in plateau area.Methods A total of 208 male soldiers trained in 4 200 meters altitude and medically supported by our hospital were randomly divided into the experimental group(n=104) and the control group(n=104).The experimental group received health education based on the transtheoretical model,and the control group received routine health education.Score of sun protection behaviors questionnaire,sunscreen using behavior and score of the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) before and after the intervention between two groups were compared.Results Score of sun protection behaviors questionnaire in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group (P＜0.05),sunscreen using behavior in the experimental group was better than the control group(P＜0.05),score of the Dermatology Life Quality Index in the experimental group was lower than the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Health education guided by the transtheoretical model can improve the plateau soldiers' sun protection behaviors,and it is an effective method of health education.

AIM To observe the effect of phosphonoformic acid (PFA) in different concentration on vascular calcification induced by elevated phosphate. METHODS The cell culture of bovine aortic smooth muscle were performed. Calcium deposition in different phosphate and PFA concentrations were determined by O cresolphthalein complexone method, and osteocalcin expression by radioimmunity and RT PCR. RESULTS Compared to Pi 1 5 mmol?L -1 group,bovine smooth muscle cells (BSMC) cultured in medium containing Pi 2 0 mmol?L -1 phosphate level increased calcium deposition 〔On day 6, (77 187?11 692) mg?g -1 Pro versus (25 768?1 750) mg?g -1 Pro, P

Objective To investigate the mechanism of high phosphate - stimulated calcification in vascular smooth muscle cell. Methods The cell culture of bovine aortic smooth muscle was performed. Osteocalcin (OC) mRNA expression and calcium deposition in different phosphate concentrations [normal phosphate (Pi 1. 5mmol/L), high phosphate (2.0mmol/L)] were determined by radioimmunoassay, RT-PCR, and 0-cresolphthalein complexone method respectively. Results After 72 hours,high phosphate treatment of smooth muscle cells(SMC) enhanced the expression of osteocalcin protein [Pi 2. 0 mmol/L versus Pi 1. 5 mmol/L: (15. 03?2. 60) pg/u-g protein versus (2. 98 ?0.84) pg/ug protein, P

Objective To understand the isolation and change of drug resistance of mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa in sputum from 2013 to 2015 so as to provide a scientific basis for reasonable clinical use of antibacterial drugs.Methods The isolation,culture and identification were carried out according to the fourth edition of National Clinical Laboratory Operation Rules.The drug susceptibility testing was performed with the use of Kindy-Bauer.The drug susceptibility testing results were judged according to the standards of CLSI 2014.The clinical data were analyzed by software WHONET 5.6.Results Among 1 653 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated in the clinical sputum specimens from 2013 to 2015,including 255(15.4%)strains of mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa;during the three years,the drugs of highest drug resistance rate was piperacillin,which was 29.0%;the drug resistance rate less than 10.0% had amikacin and piperacillin/tazobactam;the drugs with larger increase range of resistance rate included imipenem,levofloxacin,ciprofloxacin and ciprofloxacin,their resistance rates were increased from 12.5%,9.7%,8.3% and 9.7% in 2013 to 20.5%,17.0%,19.3% and 15.9% in 2015.Conclusion The isolating rate of mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa in sputm is gradually increased year by year from 2013 to 2015.At the same time,the drug resistance rates show an increasing trend in recent three years.It is necessary to strengthen the surveillance of drug resistance of mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of multi-detector-row CT (MDCT) in the diagnosis and preoperative evaluation of breast cancer. Methods From January 2004 to December 2007,the clinical data of 54 cases wih pathologically proved breast cancer undergoing preoperative MDCT scan (31 cases also underwent MRI scan) were retrospectively analyzed at our hospital. Surgical planning was based on MDCT assessment. The extent and location of tumor depicted by MDCT,MRI and pathology were compared. Results Breast carcinoma was diagnosed by MDCT in all the cases. In these 54 patients,MDCT achived an accuracy of 87% in evaluating the extent of tumor. Based on MDCT,39 cases underwent BCT surgery with a 8% margin positive rate. MDCT and MRI had no significant difference in accuracy of evaluation on the extent of tumor ( x2 = 0. 5, P ＞ 0. 05 ). Conclusions MDCT accurately assesses the extent and location of breast cancer, proving its value in preoperative evaluation of breast cancer.
