Objective To study the application of androgens,AMH for female infertility diagnosis value.Methods Used chemiluminescence to detect androgen testosterone (To),androstenedione (AND),17 (HS)To hydrogen sulfate therapy (17HS),sex hormone binding globulin (SHG)and resistance To seedling le’s hormone (anti-Mullerian hormone,AMH)of 258 cases of patients with female infertility.According to the reason of infertility,female infertility patients were divided into observation group (158 cases of endocrine infertility)and control group (100 cases of tubal factor infertility)and two groups of data had statistical analysis with t test.Used Pearman’s correlation method to analyse the relationship between serum AMH level and AND,SHG in patients wirh female infertility.and used ROC curve to evaluate efficiency of AND and AMH to the diagnosis of female infertility.Results ①The indicators To observation group AND control group,AND,AMH and SHG were (1.25±0.41 vs 0.25±0.15)nmol/L,(4.9±0.62 vs 1.80±0.51)nmol/L,(13.6±3.5 vs 6.4±1.81)ng/ml and (64.2±32.1 vs 89.3±30.2)nmol/L,respectively.Compared with the control group,observation group To,AND and AMH were significantly higher than the control group (t=13.02,11.36,9.35,P values<0.01),but SHG was significantly low-wer than thecontrol group(t=7.35,P<0.01).②Between the biology to produce ets (AMH:7.63~10.1 ng/ml,AND:0.3~3.3 ng/ml,17 HS:18~144μg/dl,SHG:80~560 nmol/L)as the standard,in the observation group:17 HS increased 17.7%,AND increased 72.2%,AMH increased 87.9% and SHG 51.2% reduction.③AMH level and the AND existed positive correlation (r=0.579,P<0.05),negatively correlated with SHG (r=0.763,P<0.05).④AMH,AND and SHG diagnosis of infertility area under the ROC curve (AUC),were 0.921,0.863 and 0.736 respectively,best cutoff value were11.26 ng/ml,4.62 nmol/L and 32.62 ng/ml respectively,and sensitivity of 89.7%,72.9% and 59.6%.Specific degrees were 86.2%,86.2% and 75.6% respectively,and accuracy of 87.1%,87.1% and 81.6%.Jointed inspection of AND,AMH and SHG in the diagnosis of infertility,the sensitivity of the specific degree were 96.3% and 90.2% respectively.Conclusion It showed that AMH,AND and SHG have diagnostic value of internal secretory infertility with ROC curve analysis.De-tection of combined AMH,AND and SHG is more meaningful to the early diagnosis and treatment of infertility.

Objective To investigate the ameliorative effects and potential mechanism of Lithocarpus litseifoliu on renal function and inflammation in mice with hyperuricemic nephropathy(HN).Methods The HN model was established by the combined administration of adenine and potassium oxyzate.The mice were randomly divided into normal control group,model control group,benzbromarone group,and high,medium and low dose groups of Lithocarpus litseifoliu.Different drugs were given to the mice,and their body mass was recorded once a week.The levels of uric acid(UA),creatinine(Cr),urine protein(UP),blood urea nitrogen(BUN)and urine urea nitrogen(UUN)as well as the levels of tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α)and interleukin 6(IL-6)in serum or urine of each group were collected and measured on the 21st day.Hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining was performed to observe kidney tissue injury in mice;real-time PCR(RT-PCR)was performed to determine ATP-binding cassette subfamily G member 2(ABCG2),urate transporter protein(URAT1),glucose transporter protein 9(GLUT9),and cytosolic factor NF-κB p50(κB p50)in kidney tissues.Results Compared with the normal control group,the body mass of mice in the model control group was significantly lower after the second weeks of modeling(P<0.05),and the levels of UA,Cr,UP,BUN,UUN,TNF-α,IL-6 contents and GLUT9 mRNA and κB p50 mRNA expression contents of kidney tissues were significantly higher(P<0.01,P<0.05).Compared with the model control group,the levels of Cr,UP,BUN and UUN contents and renal tissue nuclear cytokine κB p50 mRNA expression were significantly lower in the high,medium and low dose groups of Lithocarpus litseifoliu(P<0.01,P<0.05).The UA levels were significantly lower in the high dose group of Lithocarpus litseifoliu(P<0.05),and renal ABCG2 mRNA expression was significantly higher in the medium dose group(P<0.01).The renal URAT1 mRNA expression was significantly decreased in the low dose group(P<0.01).Conclusion Lithocarpus litseifoliu has shown ameliorative effects on HN mice,and the mechanism may be related to the modulation of renal uric acid transporters,improvement of renal function and anti-inflammation effects.
