Objective To investigate the relationship between serum levels of PCT and neutrophil CD64 contents with the effect of hormone therapy and complications in the patients with primary nephrotic syndrome.Methods Sixty-five patients with primary nephrotic syndrome in our hospital from September 2015 to September 2016 were selected as the research subjects,all cases were treated with hormonal therapy,the serum levels of PCT and neutrophil CD64 were detected and their relationship with the curative effect and complications of nephrotic syndrome was analyzed.Results According to the PCT and neutrophil CD64 median levels,the cases were divided into the high level group and low level group,the results found that serum creatinine,serum protein,urine protein and pathological types had no statistical difference between the high level group and low level group.The hormone sensitivity had 15 cases in the patients with high PCT level,which was significantly lower than 21 cases in the patients with low PCT level;the hormone sensitivity had 14 cases in the patients with high neutrophil CD64 level,acute renal failure,infection and thrombus in the patients with high PCT level had 8,10,6 cases,which were significantly lower than those in the patients with low PCT level;acute renal failure,infection and thrombus in the patients with high neutrophil CD64 level had 7,11,6 cases,which were significantly higher than those in the patients with low neutrophil CD64 level (P<0.05).Conclusion The levels of serum PCT and neutrophil CD64 are significantly correlated with the therapeutic effect and clinical prognosis in the patients with nephrotic syndrome.

Objective: To determine the extract from Radix Astragali. Methods : Astragaloside IV in extract from Radix Astragali was determined by TLC-Scanning. Results : The linear relationship was at the rang of 0.78 ?g~ 4.68 ?g. The average recovery was 99.06% ( RSD=1.17% and n =5). Conclusion : The method is available with a good reproducibility. The pretreatment is simple and easy to operate.
