Objective To explore the predicative value of transvaginal ultrasonography and 48 hours blood HCG ratio for ectopic pregnancy(EP).Methods A total of 90 patients in our hospital from June 2014 to May 2016 were selected as the object according to the pregnancy result and postoperative pathology (40 cases in EP group and 50 cases in control group).The endometrial thickness was measured through transvaginal ultrasonography while blood HCG was detected by chemiluminescence technique and 48 hours blood HCG ratio was calculated.To evaluate the individual and combined predicative value of endometrial thickness and 48 hours blood HCG ratio for EP,receiver operating characteristic curves(ROC) were generated and logistic regression analysis was conducted.Results The endometriam thickness and 48 h blood HCG ratio of EP group were (11.75 ± 3.42) mm and (1.06 ± 0.38) %,respectively,which were lower than (15.52 ± 3.98) mm and (1.46 ± 0.20)% of control group,the differences were statistically significant (P =0.000).The AUCs and their corresponding 95% confidential intervals(CI) were 0.77[95% CI(0.67,0.87)] and 0.82[95% CI(0.73,0.91)],respectively.Combined ROC analysis based on the 2 indexes revealed an elevated AUC of 0.89 [95% CI(0.83,0.95)],the differences were statistically significant(P =0.04).Conclusion The endometrial thickness and 48 hours blood HCG ratio can be acted as useful predicative biomarkers for detection of EP.A combination of the two indexes could be a useful predicative biomarker for future clinical trials with EP and may act as a suitable add-on biomarker to the panel of methods already existing for EP.

Objective:To discuss the regulation of berberine and dioscin extracted from traditional Chinese medicine in the expression of protein moleculer related with glucose metabolism in trophoblast cells,such as IRS-1,P1-3K,Glut1,PPAR ?. Methods:To culture the chorion trophoblast cell in the early pregnancy,to induce cells to suffer glucose metabolism obstacle with the use of WortmaninnTake advantage of berberine and dioscin extracted from the Chinese traditional medicine with intervention,simultaneously set the troglitazone(T) and dimthyl(R) for the control group. Detect the gene expression with the use of RT-PCT,simutaniously detect the protein expression in molecular level. Examine the expression in the protein level with the technique of Western blot in combination with the technique of LSM for the expression location of protein moleculer related.Results:① With the induction of WT,the glucose metabolism inside the tropholast cells becomes abnormal,compared with normal(P
