·Preface·
Female's vagina is a unique and dynamic changing microecological system. There are a variety of normal microbial communities, which constitute a mutual restriction and coordination between the host and the environment, and plays an important role in maintaining a healthy vaginal microecological environment. With the application of non-culture methods in the study of vaginal microecosystem, people have a more new understanding of the vaginal microbiota.
As a part of the human microecosystem, the vaginal microecosystem is closely related to the pathogenesis of reproductive tract infections.Vaginal microecological evaluation provides a detection means for the analysis and understanding of vaginal microecological changes, including morphological diagnosis and functional diagnosis. Among them, morphological diagnosis includes the evaluation of bacterial flora, the detection of pathogenic microorganisms and the assessment of disease status; functional diagnosis includes the assessment of the function of vaginal Lactobaccilus species, the detection of microbial metabolites and inflammatory reactions of the body.
Vaginal microecological examination can not only accurately and quickly diagnose various single vaginal inflammation and mixed infections, reduce the rate of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis, but also evaluate the prognosis, and also have guiding significance for applying vaginal microecological regulators after treatment. Finally, a good quality control is needed in the whole process of vaginal microecological examination.
The "Practical Vaginal Microecology" has accumulated the Laboratory and Clinical Team of the West China Second University hospital, Sichuan University for nearly 20 years of clinical experiences, and combines the vaginal microecological evaluation and the latest progress of clinical diagnosis and treatment. It is a rare and excellent book to promote the diagnosis and treatment specification and key technology of female reproductive tract infection, training primary doctors and examiners and inspection personnel technical level and service ability. I hope the publication of this book can play a certain role in helping Chinese obstetrician, gynecologists and clinical examiners in the diagnosis and treatment of female reproductive tract infections. The writing of this book has been strongly supported by the Infectious Diseases Cooperative Group of Obstetrics and Gynecology Branch of Chinese Medical Association and Professor Mingyuan Li of West China School of Basic and Legal Medicine, Sichuan University. I would like to thank them for their hard guidance and dedication in the field of vaginal microecology and medical microbiology over the years.
This book was translated by our Translating Committee on the basis of the original book "Practical Vaginal Microecology". In the process of translation, the translators found the deficiencies of chapter 3 and Chapter 7 of the original book, and made some beneficial modifications and supplements (for example, "7.7.2 Gram staining of smear combined with clinical features of AV combination diagnostic criteria" was added in of Chapter 7 ). This makes the book more substantial and complete.
Due to the limited level of editors and the short time, there are some shortcomings in the book. Welcome obstetricians and laboratory colleagues to criticize and correct this book.
