Default Medical examination for Z visa

I am currently in the process of applying for a Z visa to teach English in Chengdu. I am especially curious as to what the medical examination tests for? I've trawled the internet for answers but everything was posted a few years ago and I have no definite answers. Can anyone who's recently (2014) had the Chinese medical exam shed some light on what they actually test for? It would be a massive help. I would also like to know what hinders me from obtaining this visa, health, disease etc.

Thank you

You’ll get two medicals. One to get you the ‘Z’ and another for the FEC and PSB to get your visa. The ‘Z’ is only for 30 days. Chinese medicals are full-blown ones, but fairly easy to pass as long as it’s not catching, if you know what I mean. Blood pressure, cholesterol, urine sample, eyes, X-Ray, bone density scan . . . and more. You’ll get another medical on renewal of your visa every 6 or 12 months.
