ABSTRACT
In the new or variant acute respiratory infectious diseases, as a result of the not fully discovered ways to control the infection as well as the not fully defined pathogenicity of pathogens, there is still a greater risk of infection for the laboratory front-line staff who are in close contact with pathogen samples. Therefore, the psychological status, biological safety, and work quality of the interns in the laboratory are also main concerns of the teaching hospitals in the epidemic prevention and control work. In view of the problems exposed in the epidemic situation of viral respiratory infectious diseases, this paper analyzes the influence of the whole process of the test on the test results and carries out the process control, aiming at enhancing the interns' ability to resist pressure, improving the students' awareness of biological safety, promoting the interns' comprehensive analysis ability and the formation of clinical critical thinking, and providing reference for the training qualified medical laboratory professionals.

Visiting students' education is an important part of laboratory medicine continuing education. In the new era, the traditional continuing education model faces severe challenges in how to improve the clinical serviceability of grass-roots laboratories, the training quality of medical laboratory students, and the students' personal quality and professional ability. In the process of exploring the new training model for a long time, combined with the characteristics of the laboratory medicine and the needs of the visiting students, we put forward the new training concept of "tutorial system" for laboratory medicine students. The "one-to-one" model is used to teach students in accordance with their aptitude according to their aptitude for students of different levels and different cultural backgrounds and it has achieved certain success. The practice shows that the "tutorial system" for visiting laboratory medicine students can increase their belonging sense, improve the quality and level of the training, and expand the effect of continuing education.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of the course of Laboratory Medicine and Clinical Sciences in the Laboratory Medicine Faculty of Sun Yat-sen University. Methods:Twenty-four undergraduate students in Batch 2016 of Medical Laboratory Faculty were divided into small groups (4-6 students per group). They learned each case in groups before class. In the first session of each class, the case-based study (CBS) tutor would randomly assign case-related questions to the students. Students were required to present their answers in class. The CBS tutor would guide the students to discuss the case further. In the second session, a lecture associated with the case would be given by a special subject lecturer. After the course, students, tutors and lecturers were given questionnaires and were randomly interviewed to comprehensively understand the course's effectiveness. SPSS 19.0 was used for statistics.Results:Most case discussion tutors agreed that they could guide students to discuss clinical cases well in class and give comments according to students' presentations (93.75%, 15/16). Most of the lecturers agreed that they could well guide students to think about the relationship between laboratory and clinical diagnosis and treatment in class (91.67%, 11/12). Both teachers and students had very positive evaluations of the learning mode, learning content, inspiration to students, and teachers' ability of this course. All the teachers and students agreed that the learning mode of combining CBS with special subject lecture was more helpful for the students to systematically learn medical knowledge compared with a CBS session alone or a lecture alone.Conclusion:The course, Laboratory Medicine and Clinical Sciences, which combines the CBS with the traditional lecture mode, integrates the advantages of the two learning modes. It not only stimulates students' enthusiasm for active learning, deepens clinical knowledge memory, and builds a clinical thinking model, but also enriches the teaching modes of medical laboratory education.
ABSTRACT
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.

ABSTRACT
The thyroid function test is universally used for the evaluation of thyroid function. However, there are factors other than endocrine diseases, such as special physiological conditions, interference in laboratory measurement, or disorders in other systems that should be taken into consideration. When encountering thyroid function test results that are not in line with clinical manifestation, a comprehensive evaluation is essential for a correct and timely diagnosis. We presented a case of a significant rise in serum total triiodothyronine(TT 3) secondary to multiple myeloma. Through case studies and literature review, we intended to provide clinicians with experience for better interpretation of abnormal thyroid function test results.
