Objectlve To evaluate the clinical value of the detection of Myeobacterium tuberculosis (MTB)and its L-forms(MTB-L)in pefipheral blood.Methods MTB and MTB-L in blood samples of 156 patients with tuberculosis and 147 patients with lung cancer were detected by hemolysis centrifugal drop Intensified Kinyoun's acid fast staining (IK) and hemolysis centrifugal culture with 42 healthy persons as controls.MTB DNA was detected by TaqMan-PCR technique in plasma mononuclear cells and whole blood from aforementioned groups.Results Among each groups detected by IK.the MTB positive rate was 1.3%(2/156),0.7%(1/147),and 0%(0/42)respectively.The positive rate of culture was 0.6%(1/156),0%(0/147),and 0%(0/42)respectively.MTB-L positive rate detected by IK was 41.0%(64/156),32.7%(48/147)and 7.2%(3/42).MTB-L positive rate detected by culture was 25.6%(40/156)and 39.5%(58/147).0%(0/42).MTB positive rate were significantly different from the MTB-L positive rate (P<0.01).Among the 98 strains L-forms,81 strains were from human,17 strains were from bovis,and 44 strains were back to the ancestors.The positive rate of mononuclear ceHs and whole blood obtained from the tuberculosis group detected by TaqMan-PCR were 77.6%(121/156) and 68.6%(107/156)(P<0.05).The positive rate of mononuclear cells and whole blood from lung cancer group were 59.2%(87/147)and 48.3%(52/147)(P<0.05),which were higher than the plasma positive rate 12.2%(18/147)(P<0.05).The result of individual bloed constituents (except for plasma) from two groups were significantly different from the control(P<0.01).Conclusions MTB-L was found in the peripheral blood of the tuberculosis and lung cancer patients.Hemolysis centrifugal culture is a rapid,simple and reliable method for detecting MTB-L TaqMan-PCR showed the positive rate of MTB DNA in plasma and whole blood samples were significantly higher than that in the plasma.

Objective To explore the characteristics of mycobacterium dependend antituberculous drug. Methods 137 strains of mycobacterium were tested for resistance by the absolute concentration method on Lowenstein Jensen medium. Dependent positive were the coloun that on higher concentration drug medium stronger than lower concentration than controls. Results 12(8.76%) of the 130 strains M. tuberculosis and 7 strains nontuberculous mycuberculous (NTM) were found dependent, in which strains dependend on INH, RFP and SM were 3(2.19%), 10(7.3%) and 3(2.19%) respectively, 4(2.92%) were dependend on two drugs. Conclusions Were NTM dependent, Not found all detected from multiple strains.

Objective To study the optical imaging quality of multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) following Nd∶YAG laser damage.Methods Three hydrophobic acrylate discs used to make multifocal IOL were placed in line,and the Nd∶YAG laser was used to emit the posterior surface,mid-plane and anterior surface of the discs by gradually increasing the emitting energy to determine the damaged threshold energy of various planes.Eight multifocal IOLs were divided into 2 groups.IOL damage models were established by emitting 12 points along 12 clocks on circle of 3.0 mm in diameter in the group 1 (IOLs NO.1,2,3,4) and 6 points with 1-clock interval on circle of 1.0 mm in diameter in the group 2 (IOLs NO.5,6,7,8) with Nd∶YAG laser.The modulation transfer function (MTF),line spread function (LSF) and United States air force (USAF) test target images of the IOLs were tested under the optical aperture at 2.0,3.0 and 4.5 mm.Results The damage thresholds of laser power were not significantly different among three hydrophobic acrylate discs (Fgroup =1.100,P =0.337),and the thresholds were significantly different among different planes in the discs (Fposition =195.279,P=0.000),with the highest damage threshold in the anterior surface and the lowest damage threshold in the mid-plane of the discs(all at P<0.01).The shifts of far focus and near focus MTF curves,LSF curves and USAF target images of the IOLs under the 2.0,3.0 and 4.5 mm optical aperture after laser damage were in coincidence with those before laser damage both in group 1 and group 2.The glare phenomenon of the USAF target image was observed at near focus under the 4.5 mm optical aperture both before and after laser damage.Conclusions Multifocal IOL is vulnerable to injury when the laser beam focuses on the midplane,and the anterior surface of IOL can tolerate certain degree of damage.In standard model eye,the MTF curves,LSF curves and USAF target images of multifocal IOL was not impacted by laser induced spots injuries under different pupil diameters.
