Objective To investigate the changes of erythrocyte parameters and the value of differential diagnosis in pregnant women with β-mediterranean anemia.Methods A total of 300 pregnancy women from July 2014 to December 2015 in Center Hospital of Longgang were recruited in this study,100 pregnant women with β-mediterranean anemia in β-mediterranean anemia pregnancy group,100 healthy pregnant women in normal pregnancy group,100 pregnant women with iron deficiency anemia in iron deficiency anemia pregnancy group.Mean red cell volume(MCV),mean erythrocyte hemoglobin(MCH),reticulocyte percentage(Ret%) were detected and compared in the three groups.Results Compared with the normal pregnancy group and iron deficiency anemia pregnancy group,the MCV,MCH significantly reduced,and Ret% significantly rised in the β-mediterranean anemia pregnant group,the differences were significant(P<0.05).The best cut-off value of Ret% was 1.7% in differential diagnosis of β-mediterranean anemia pregnancy and iron deficiency anemia pregnancy,the sensitivity was 63.00%,the specificity was 74.00%,the area under of receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.841.The sensitivity of joint detection including MCV,MCH and Ret% in differential diagnosis of β-mediterranean anemia pregnancy and iron deficiency anemia pregnancy was 84.00%,the specificity was 90.00%.Conclusion MCV,MCH and Ret% in pregnancy women with β-mediterranean anemia changes significant compared with normal pregnancy group and iron deficiency anemia pregnancy group,the joint detection including MCV,MCH and Ret% could significantly improve the differential diagnosis of β-mediterranean anemia and iron deficiency anemia in pregnancy women.

Objective To determine the contents of four effective constituents in Euphorbiae Semen decoction;To provide evidence for Euphorbiae Semen decoction into clinical application. Methods Established quantitative analysis multi-components by single marker method was used to determine the contents of diterpenoids constituents, such as euphorbia storoid, euphorbia factor L2, and euphorbia factor L3. HPLC method was used to determine the contents of aesculetin. Results Contents of euphorbia storoid, euphorbia factor L2, and euphorbia factor L3 in smashed Euphorbiae Semen decoction were 0.015 9%, 0.005 9% and 0.024 1%, respectively. However, the contents of the above three constituents could not be detected in whole Euphorbiae Semen decoction. The content of aesculetin (0.693 6%) in smashed Euphorbiae Semen decoction was more than that in whole Euphorbiae Semen decoction (0.288 2%). Conclusion Decoction digestion effect of diterpenoids constituents in Euphorbiae Semen decoction is not good. Decocting with water is not suitable for the clinical application of Euphorbiae Semen for purgation and diuresis. Aesculetin in smashed Euphorbiae Semen decoction has good decoction digestion effect, in which clinical use for antisepsis and anti-inflammation is effective.

Objective To study the relationship between reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as total antioxidant capacity ( TAC ) within follicle fluid and body mass index ( BMI ) in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).Methods All patients enrolled in this study were infertile women receiving in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) treatment.55 PCOS patients were divided into over-weight group ( n =23 ) and non-over-weight group ( n =32 ).Another 55 age-matched non-PCOS women were also divided into control group ( n =30) and overweight group ( n =25 ).Plasma sex hormone,triglycerides,and total cholesterol were determined.On oocyte retrieval day after ovarian stimulation,ROS and TAC in follicular fluid were assayed.Results Subjects in over-weight and PCOS over-weight groups had higher triglycerides than those in control and PCOS non-over-weight groups [ ( 1.9 ±1.1,1.7 ± 0.9,1.0 ± 0.5,1.2 ± 0.7 ) mmol/L,respectively,all P<0.05],so did total cholesterol [ ( 4.8 ± 1.2,5.2 ± 1.1,4.0 ± 0.6) mmol/L,respectively,all P<0.05].In PCOS over-weight group,ROS and ROS/TAC within follicular fluid were ( 35.4 ± 6.7 ) RLU/S and 39.8 ± 22.0,both were higher than those in the other 3 groups ( all P<0.05).TAC [ (0.8 ± 0.5 ) Mm] was lower in PCOS over-weight group than that among the other 3 groups( all P<0.05 ).ROS/TAC was higher in PCOS non-over-weight group than that of control group ( 26.5 ± 14.5 vs 14.2 ± 12.5,P<0.05 ).Univariate analysis showed that both ROS and ROS/TAC within follicular fluid in PCOS patients were positively correlated with BMI ( r =0.34 and r =0.32,both P<0.05 ).Conclusion Abnormal oxidative stress exists in follicular fluid of PCOS patients,and the oxidative stress parameters show positive correlation with BMI.
