Objective To study whether L-cysteine and lysolecithin (16:0) could be as a serum markers in the detection of OVC for overcoming the OVC defects of early detection .Methods Totally 142 cases of healthy check -up patients ( control group ) 100 cases from First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University in January 2012 to January 2014 were extracted patient specimens .These pa-tient specimens were used to detect by MALDI -TOF-MS mass spectrometer and obtain the peak m/z by the method of principal compo-nent analysis for screening expression difference between the two groups in the metabolites and the correlation between metabolites and pathological grade.Results The most difference substance between two groups were 184.05 and 496.30m/z which identified as LPC (16:0) and HCA;On HCA average level and detection rate , OVC group was significantly higher than control (P<0.01); On 184.05 and 496.30m/z peak area, control group was significantly higher than OVC group (P<0.01);HCA positively was correlated with patho-logic grade (P<0.05);184.05 and 496.30 m/z peak area were negative correlation with pathologic grade (P<0.05).Conclusion L-cysteine and lysolecithin (16:0) mechanism in the pathogenesis of OVC is unclear , but it can be used for the detection of serum OVC markers.

Objective To study the clinical value of combination dection of inhibin A,progesterone and fetal fibronectin in predicting the outcome of threatened abortion.Methods One hundred and seventy patient with symptoms of threatened abortion were selected as the object of this study.After miscarriage treatment,75 patients continued the pregnancy as the threatened abortion group and 45 patients miscarriage after miscarriage treatment as the abortion group,another 50 normal pregnant women at same period in our hospital were as the control group.Inhibin A,progesterone and fetal fibronectin were detected and compared between the three groups.Results The inhibin A and progesterone levels increased in turn from abortion group,threatened abortion group to normal pregnancy group.fFN positive rates were lower in turn.The difference were statistically significant (P < 0.05).The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of inhibin A,and progesterone levels fFN positive rate for prediction of threatened abortion were 0.899,0.866,0.785,while the AUC of the combine that three index was 0.944.The sensitivity of the combined detection was 92.04%,the specificity was 89.17%,accuracy was 87.95%,positive predictive value was 98.45%,negative predictive value was 89.38%,and Youden index was 0.812.Conclusion Combined detection of inhibin A,progesterone and fetal fibronectin in predicting the outcomes of threatened abortion of pregnant women have a better predictive value than single index,it can enhance the accuracy,specificity and accuracy of forecasts.
