Features: Modern Hematologic Cell Diagnosis is a book written by Professor Wang Fengji based on his decades of clinical practice and scientific experiments, as well as by reviewing relevant domestic and international literature. The book is divided into 17 chapters, containing nearly a million words of text and over 1,400 color illustrations, making it rich in both text and visuals. It covers both fundamental and clinical aspects, with comprehensive content and a wide range of diseases, including several new and groundbreaking insights.
Chapters 1 to 8 primarily focus on the fundamental aspects, providing detailed descriptions of the development of hematologic cells, embryonic hematopoiesis, and hematologic techniques, reflecting the author's unique insights in many areas. Chapters 9 to 17 mainly deal with clinical aspects. They elaborate on the definition, etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and laboratory tests of each blood disorder, with a particular emphasis on the description of cellular morphology, which is a distinctive feature of the book.
This book is an invaluable specialized work in hematology. Its publication undoubtedly provides a practical reference for hematologists, general internists, researchers, and laboratory professionals. The book is divided into two main parts: fundamental and clinical. The first eight chapters cover the fundamental aspects, introducing normal reference values and their significance, normal morphology and function, chemical staining and its meaning, and the formation and significance of ultrastructure. A key feature of the book is its discussion of the origin and growth process of hematologic cells, as well as the morphology and function of major hematopoietic organs during human embryonic development, with a significant portion of the data being disclosed internationally for the first time.
The clinical part consists of nine chapters, covering different cell lineages and disease types. Each disease is elaborated on from several aspects, including definition, etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and laboratory tests. The book includes both classic diagnostic content and new findings, with a greater emphasis on the author's clinical experience, lessons learned, and research achievements. The book is accompanied by over 1,400 color illustrations, enhancing the visual effect of diagnosis. A considerable number of these illustrations are precious, rare, and hard to find.
