Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) is an important means to clinical microbiology. At present, there are no standard AST methods for aquatic pathogens comparing with human and veterinary pathogens. We reviewed the recent research progress on establishing these methods and discussed the key factors in AST of aquatic pathogens. Furthermore the defect of AST of aquatic pathogens in China was profiled and prospect for further research was put forward.

Objective To study the diagnosis and indications of operation of thyroiditis associated with thyroid cancer(TTATC). Methods The clinical data of 16 patients with TTATC were analysed retrospectively. Results All 16 patients were treated surgically, including subacute thyroditis with thyroid cancer in 4 patients, Hashimoto's disease with thyroid cancer in 12. The carcinoma of thyroid were composed of 12 papillary, 3 follicular, and 1 mixed papillary follicular cancer. The 16 patients were followed up for 2 months 9 years, showing they were all alive and healthy. Conclusions In order to avoid delaying the treatment of thyroid cancer, the following thyroiditis with thyroid nodule should be operated earlier: (1) The nodule in thyroditis didn't alter to smaller and shows a tendency to be enlarge after systematic drug therapy. (2) the cold nodule is of cold character in SPECT but solid in ultrasound.

Objective:To establish the medical equipment archives management system to adapt to the Finance Ministry new hospital financial system. Methods:According to the new financial system requirements, implement the new file management strategy, as adjusting the original classification, management object and process. Results: After the implementation of the new management strategy, medical equipment archives management and new financial system in our hospital realize synchronous in January 1, 2012, thethree Zhang cardsystem optimizing, and the results have been applied to the existing hospital medical equipment management software, greatly improving the efficiency of management, provides a strong basis for medical equipment economic benefit and social benefit evaluation. Conclusion:The medical equipment archives were giving full play to improve the quality of medical care.

Objective To study the effect of growth hormone (GH) and PRL (prolactin) on the secretion of Th1/Th2 type cytokines in the patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods The secretion of cytokines in PBMCs stimulated by GH and PRL was detected by ELISA in vitro. Results The results showed that the secretion levels of IL-6 and IL-10 from PBMCs of the SLE patients in active stage were higher than those of the normal controls, and the secretion level of IFN-? was lower than that of SLE patients in resting stage and the normal controls, but it is of no statistical significance. The secretion levels of IL-6 and IL-10 were significantly increased in PBMC stimulated by GH and PRL, but GH and PRL had no effect on the secretion of IFN-?. There was no difference on the secretion level of IL-6, IL-10 and IFN-? when the PBMC was stimulated by GH and PRL. Conclusion GH and PRL might play an important role in the pathogenesis of SLE.

Objective: To study the toxicity alleviation effect of Bovis Calculus Artificialis, Gypsum Fibrosum, and Borneolum Synthcticum to Realgar in Niuhuang Jiedu Tablet based on 1H-NMR metabonomics. Methods: Forty-two male Wistar rats were divided into six groups: group A (control group), group B (treated with realgar), group C (treated with Niuhuang Jiedu Tablet), group D (treated with Niuhuang Jiedu Tablet without Bovis Calculus Artificialis), group E (treated with Niuhuang Jiedu Tablet without Gypsum Fibrosum), and group F (treated with Niuhuang Jiedu Tablet without Borneolum Synthcticum). Based on 1H-NMR spectra of urine and serum from rats, PLS-DA was performed to identify different metabolic profiles. Results: The metabolic profiles of group B were different from control group, while the metabolic profiles of all other groups were almost in line with those of control group. Conclusion: The toxicity alleviation effects of Bovis Calculus Artificialis, Gypsum Fibrosum, and Borneolum Synthcticum to Realgar in Niuhuang Jiedu Tablet are not obvious.
