Objeetive To investigate the clinical significance of combined detection of lipoprotein associated serum phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLa2),homocysteine (Hcy) and cystatin C (CysC) in the diagnosis of hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy (HDCP).Methods From January 2013 to May 2016 in Changan Hospital,selected 113 cases of pregnancy induced hypertension patients as the observation group,and were divided into three group A,B and C (group A:55 cases of HDCP patients,group B:32 cases of mild preeclampsia and group C for patients with severe preeclampsia 26 cases).At the same period,selected 50 cases of normal college pregnancy as control group,serum Lp-PLa2 (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay),Hcy (cyclophorase method) and CysC (particle enhanced turbidimetric method),the test results were analyzed and compared.Results Serum Lp-PLa2,Hcy and CysC test results in the control group,the observation group A,observation group B and observation group C increased significantly,in the observation group C increased most obviously.Compared with the control group,the serum levels of Lp-PLa2,Hcy and CysC in the observation group were significantly higher,the difference was statistically significant (F=8.102,7.231 and 6.926,all P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was a positive correlation between serum Lp-PLa2,Hcy and CysC and blood pressure (r=0.71,0.69,0.63,all P＜0.05).The abnormal rate of serum Lp-PLa2,Hcy and CysC for three joint detection was higher than that of single detection,and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =6.725,P＜0.001).The abnormal rate of serum Lp-PLa2,Hcy and Cys single test results increased with the exacerbation of HDCP,and the difference was statistically significant (x2=9.351,P＜0.000).Conclusion Serum Lp-PLa2,Hey,CysC and pregnancy would be closely related to the occurrence and development of hypertension syndrome,so combined detection of HDCP can improve the detection rate of abnormal results,and it has important clinical significance for early diagnosis and prognosis of HDCP.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of serum total bile acid(TBA)and cholyglycine(CG)detection in the early diagnosis of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy(ICP)and perinatal adverse outcomes.Methods Chose 67 ca-ses of ICP pregnant women diagnosed and treated in Chang'an Hospital from June 2015 to June 2017 and they were selected as observation group.According to the 2015 edition of the diagnostic guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of intrahe-patic cholestasis of pregnancy.The patients were divided into mild ICP group and severe ICP group,and 60 healthy pregnant women were selected as the control group.The serum TBA concentration was measured by fifth generation cyclic enzyme method and the concentration of serum CG was detected by latex enhanced turbidimetric immunoassay.The serum TBA,CG test results and the rate of abnormal test results,the incidence rate of perinatal adverse outcomes were compared between groups.Evaluation of serum TBA and CG detection of pregnancy early diagnosis of intrahepatic cholestasis and clinical value of perinatal adverse outcomes.Results The detection results of serum TBA and CG in the control group,mild ICP group and severe ICP group,there were significant differences between the three groups,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01),the detection results in the CG group,serum TBA,ICP slightly higher than the control group,the difference was statistically significant(t=22.27,39.68,P<0.05).Weight of serum TBA and ICP group,the results of CG was higher than that of patients with mild ICP group,the difference was statistically significant(t=10.24,70.87,P<0.05).And in the con-trol group,mild ICP group,severe ICP group pregnant women serum TBA,CG test results increased with the aggravation of the disease.Serum TBA and CG abnormal results in 60 cases of the control group were not detected.In 67 cases of group ICP(mild ICP group and severe ICP group)were 63 cases and 61 cases,two groups of abnormal results rate comparison,and the difference was statistically significant(χ2=29.35,31.27,P<0.01).Perinatal premature labor,fetal distress,perinatal death and stillbirth incidence of adverse perinatal outcomes in the control group,mild ICP group and severe ICP group were significantly different between the three groups(χ2=39.17,56.31,13.02,6.92,P<0.01).Conclusion Intrahepatic chole-stasis of pregnancy,serum TBA and CG increased significantly,can be used as a sensitive indicator of ICP diagnosis,improve the detection rate of ICP,and effectively predict perinatal outcome.For intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy early detection and early diagnosis,it has important clinical significance.

Objective To investigate the state of drinking water defluorination project in Dagang district and study urinary fluoride levels and detect dental fluorosis of children aged 8 to 12, and to provide scientific basis for prevention and control of fluorosis. Methods Five defluorination projects in rural streets (towns) with highfluoride water and 2 urban water supply projects were choosen to investigate the running status in Dagang district Tianjin in 2009. Five rural and 2 urban schools were choosen to select 100 children aged 8 to 12 (for gender, age matched) in each primary school to study urinary fluoride levels and detection of dental fluorosis. Results A total of 66 defluorination projects in 73 villages were surveyed, among which 61 projects actually worked normally with using rate 92.4%(61/66). Water qualification of all projects could not be ensured due to direct project managers'lack of necessary expertise. In 2009, water qualification rate were 39.3%(24/61 )among the project normally used,with highlighted problem of biological pollution. A total of 490 children aged 8 - 12 in 5 rural towns were surveyed,dental fluorosis rate were 90%(441/490), and dental fluorosis index were 1.82. A total of 207 children aged 8 - 12in 2 urban areas were surveyed, the detection rate of dental fluorosis was 49.8%(103/207), and dental fluorosis index were 0.86. The urinary fluoride level of 230 children aged 8 - 12 in the 5 villages were surveyed. The Range of geometric mean of urinary fluoride were 1.82 - 2.70 mg/L. The urinary fluoride of 102 children aged 8 - 12 in the 2 urban area were surveyed. The Range of geometric mean of urinary fluoride were 1.53 - 1.72 mg/L. Conclusions There was phenomenon of high coverage, low utilization rate and less water consumption in the villages of Dagang district, Tianjin drinking water defluoridation projects, thus the health effects of the projects was minimum.Significant health effects is found in the defluorination projects in the urban areas with high coverage and high utilization rate. Studying new water improvment methods and new forms of water supply system is urgent for solving the problems met in the ineffective water defluorination project.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the pathogenic factors of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infections.

METHODSTotally 36 serum samples were obtained from early pregnant woman and examined with ELISA for anti-HCMV antibody IgG and IgM. After artificial abortion,chorionic villus and decidua were also examined with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for HCMV-DNA. When the results of PCR were positive, pathological changes of these chorionic villus and decidua were analyzed.

RESULTSThe results showed that only 10 samples were PCR positive while IgG and/or IgM antibody to HCMV was positive. After infection with HCMV, different changes occurred in chorionic villus and decidual trophoblastic cells placental villus were hyperplasic and decidua cells degenerated and necrotized followed by lymphocytes infiltration.

CONCLUSIONThese pathological changes may be one of pathogenic factors of HCMV.

To investigate the distribution of mitochondria DNA 4 977 bp deletion, a common deletion (CD), in normal populations of Chinese, human peripheral blood samples from sixty healthy donors were collected, and levels of the CD in genomic DNA from the samples were detected using real-time PCR. The results showed that the CD was found in 27 health donors, with its positive rate being 45% (27/60). The CD ratio was between 0 and 0.00308%, and not affected by age and gender in sixty healthy donors. Our studies indicate that the CD ratio is low, and do not show the age-dependent accumulation and any gender difference in peripheral whole blood from the normal Chinese population.
