Objective To analyze the application of trans-abdominal chorionic villus sampling in the prenatal diagnosis in the first trimester. Methods A total of 70 patients with single birth and indication of invasive prenatal diagnosis in our hospital from November 2013 to January 2015 were selected. 30 pregnant women in the first trimester was given trans-abdominal chorionic villus sampling (TA-CVS), and 40 pregnant women in the second trimester was given am-niocentesis. Surgery successful rate and pregnancy loss rate were calculated in the two groups. Results In the 30 preg-nant women undergone TA-CVS, chromosome abnormality was detected in 15 cases and induced labor was carried out for all (including 1 case of stillbirth by re-examination 1 week after the surgery of trisomy-21), including 5 cases of trisomy-21, 3 cases of trisomy-13, 5 cases of 45 XO and 2 cases of trisomy-18. The rest of pregnant women with nor-mal testing results of chromosome were traced and observed until delivery. Complications such as placental hematoma, vaginal bleeding and discharge and infants' acromesomelic dysplasia were not seen in the 30 pregnant women. Com-pared with the 40 cases receiving amniocentesis, the surgery successful rate was 100%, and the pregnancy loss rate was 3.33%, and the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion Amniocentesis should be performed in 18 weeks. Therefore, TA-CVS is able to detect the problem in early stage, so as to alleviate pregnant women's emo-tional and mental pressure. TA-CVS in the first trimester is an early, safe, accurate and reliable invasive technology for prenatal diagnosis. Successful surgery in real practice depends on various aspects.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of Mahuang xixin fuzi decoction on Toll-like receptors (TLRs)response and cytochrome C oxidase (Cyt-CO)-mediated apoptosis regulation in mice with influenza disease of kidney-yang deficiency. METHODS:Totally 48 male Balb/c mice were randomly divided into normal group (n=12)and modeling group (n=36). The modeling group was intraperitoneally injected with estradiol benzoate solution (8 mg/kg)and intranasally injected with influenza virus H 1N1(20 μL/mice)to establish the influenza disease compound model of kidney-yang deficiency. After modeling ,the mice were randomly divided into model group ,positive drug group (Oseltamivir phosphate capsules ,0.195 g/kg),Mahuang xixin fuzi decoction group (1.802 g/kg,by crude dru g),with 12 mice in each group. Each group was given relevant medicine intragastrically,normal group and model group were given, corresponding volume of normal saline intragastrically 20 mL/kg,once a day ,for consecutive 6 days. During admi-nistration,body weight and anal temperature of mice were mail:xsy407861520@163.com measured daily ;the percentage of initial body weight was calculated. After last medication ,the organ (spleen,thymus and lung )indexes were calculated ;the pathological changes of lung tissue were observed. The viral load of influenza A virus H 1N1 in lung tissue was detected (reflected by M gene mRNA expression);mRNA expressions of TLR3,TLR7,myeloid differentiation factor (MyD88)and Caspase- 3 in cardiac tissue as well as the activity of Cyt-CO and the content of cytochrome C (Cyt-C)were also determined. RESULTS :Compared with normal group,initial body weight percentage and anal temperature of the model group continued to decrease (P<0.05);the spleen and thymus indexes were decreased significantly (P<0.05),while lung index was increased significantly (P<0.05);the lung tissue lesions were serious. Viral load in lung tissue ,mRNA expressions of TLR 3,TLR7,MyD88 and Caspase- 3 in cardiac tissue as well as the content of Cyt-C were increased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01),while the activity of Cyt-CO in cardiac tissue was significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with model group ,initial body weight percentage and anal temperature of mice in Mahuang xixin fuzi decoction group showed an increasing trend from the fourth day of administration (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The spleen and thymus indexes were increased significantly (P<0.05),while the lung index was significantly decreased (P<0.05);the pathological injury of lung tissue was significantly improved ;viral load in lung tissue ,mRNA expressions of TLR 3 and Caspase- 3 as well as the content of Cyt-C in cardiac tissue were decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01),while the activity of Cyt-CO was increased significantly in cardiac tissue (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS :Mahuang xixin fuzi decoction can improve influenza disease of kidney-yang deficiency in mice ,the effect may related to inhibit TLRs response and apoptosis regulation pathway mediated by Cyt-CO.
