Conclusion The silver_stain method discarded the defects of EB stain, so that it could replace EB stain and make comet assay possible to be extended.

Objective: To probe into the relationship between changes of sex hormone levels and TCM syndrome differentiation in climacteric women.Methods: According to TCM syndrome differentiation,55 cases of women in menopause were divided into three groups: kidney yang deficiency,kidney yin deficiency and the normal;the correlation between the three types and E2,FSH and LH was explored by statistical methods,and then they were compared with procreative women.Results: In all the 55 cases,kidney yin deficiency covered 70.90%,kidney yang deficiency covered 16.36%,the normal covered 12.72%;changes of E2 correlated positively with symptom scores of kidney yang deficiency and kidney yin deficiency;changes of FSH and LH correlate negatively with that of kidney yang deficiency and kidney yin deficiency.And they all correlated closely with menopause.Conclusion: the main syndrome type of climacteric women was kidney yin deficiency;E2↓,FSH↑ and LH↑ was expression of physiological kidney deficiency of climacteric women.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of serum endocan and procalcitonin (PCT) in early diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of sepsis.Methods The patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS,n = 26) and sepsis (n = 78) admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University from December 2014 to December 2016 were enrolled. According to the severity of disease, the sepsis patients were divided into general sepsis group (n = 20), severe sepsis group (n = 24), and septic shock group (n = 34). The cases were divided into survival group (n = 55) and non-survival group (n = 23) according to 28-day mortality. The serum endocan, PCT, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score, and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score were recorded when the patients were admitted into ICU. The differences in endocan, PCT, APACHE Ⅱ, SOFA score between SIRS and sepsis groups and within sepsis subgroups were compared. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the indexes of sepsis patients. Receiver operation characteristic curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the value of endocan and PCT for the diagnosis and prognosis of sepsis.Results ① Serum endocan, PCT, APACHE Ⅱ, SOFA score and 28-day mortality in the sepsis group were significantly higher than those in the SIRS group [endocan (μg/L): 4.28 (10.64) vs. 1.03 (0.69), PCT (μg/L): 3.94 (10.75) vs. 0.43 (0.39), APACHE Ⅱ:18.81±9.17 vs. 9.35±3.78, SOFA: 9.00 (7.20) vs. 4.50 (1.50), 28-day mortality: 29.49% vs. 11.54%, allP < 0.01]. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of endocan, PCT, APACHE Ⅱ, SOFA score for sepsis diagnosis were 0.887, 0.842, 0.822, 0.835, respectively. When the cut-off value of endocan was 1.26μg/L, the sepsis diagnostic sensitivity was 87.2% and specificity was 81.8%. When the cut-off value of PCT was 0.75μg/L, the sepsis diagnostic sensitivity was 85.9% and specificity was 81.8%. ② With the severity of the disease increased, the index showed an increasing trend in patients with sepsis. Serum endocan, PCT, APACHE Ⅱ, SOFA score and 28-day mortality in septic shock group were significantly higher than those in severe sepsis group or general sepsis group [endocan (μg/L): 13.02 (6.70) vs. 3.33 (3.05), 1.60 (0.98); PCT (μg/L): 8.10 (17.68) vs. 5.47 (8.92), 1.57 (2.78); APACHE Ⅱ: 25.00 (9.50) vs. 18.00 (9.00), 9.50 (5.75); SOFA: 13.00 (4.50) vs. 8.00 (3.00), 5.00 (3.50); 28-day mortality: 52.94% vs. 20.83%, 0%; allP < 0.01]. There was a significantly positive correlation between endocan, PCT, APACHE Ⅱ, SOFA, indicating that the endocan and PCT can be used to assess the severity of sepsis. ③ Serum endocan, PCT, APACHE Ⅱ and SOFA score in non-survival group were significantly higher than those in the survival group [endocan (μg/L): 15.05 (9.23) vs. 2.32 (4.81), PCT (μg/L):18.40 (16.99) vs. 3.10 (6.67), APACHE Ⅱ: 28.13±7.56 vs. 14.91±6.64, SOFA: 14.70±3.65 vs. 7.38±3.26, allP < 0.01]. The AUC of endocan, PCT, APACHE Ⅱ, SOFA score for the prediction of non-survival sepsis were 0.915, 0.763, 0.899, 0.930. When the cut-off value of endocan was 4.37μg/L, the septic death prediction sensitivity was 95.7% and specificity was 70.9%. When the cut-off value of PCT was 7.68μg/L, the septic death prediction sensitivity was 65.2% and specificity was 78.2%.Conclusions Serum endocan is more clinically valuable than PCT in early diagnosis and prognosis assessment of sepsis.
