0.05).The frequency of Pp genotype of ER? gene was higher in female SLE patients than that in healthy control(P0.05).Conclusion The frequencies of X and P genotype were not significantly increased in Chinese female patients with SLE,but the Pp and ppXx genotype of ER? gene may be associated with the female SLE patients in analysis of restriction enzyme digestion.

Objective To analyze the difference of laboratory test results between early-onset and late-onset severe preeclampsia and to investigate their clinical application values.Methods Totally 108 blood samples were collected from patients with severe preeclampsia who were diagnosed according to the Diagnostic Standard of Obstetrics and Gynecology(7th Edition) published by People′s Medical Publishing House,in Shandong Provincial Hospital affiliated to Shandong University from March to November 2016,which consisted of 64 early-onset severe preeclampsia before 34 weeks gestation(early onset group) and 44 late-onset severe preeclampsia after 34 weeks gestation(late onset group).In addition,42 women with normal pregnancies as the control group were selected.General clinical data were collected,and the blood sample was analyzed through detecting Hb,PLT,fibrinogen (FIB),D-dimer,AST,ALT,urea,creatinine (Cr),uric acid,CRP,urine protein.The tested results were analyzed and compared.Flow cytometry was used to analyze the proportion of T helper 1 cells(Th1) and T helper 2 cells(Th2),and the ratio of Th1/Th2 was also calculated.All data and F test were performed by use of statistical software SPSS19.0.Results The pre-pregnancy body mass index(29.55±4.49,30.66±5.13,26.62±3.17,F=9.829,P<0.05),diastolic blood pressure[(105.17±14.46)mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa),(99.80±12.56)mmHg,(74.36±8.42)mmHg,F=82.088,P<0.05],Hb[(123.22±14.38)g/L,(117.03±16.48)g/L,(112.62±11.24)g/L,F=7.133,P<0.05],urea[(6.56±2.36)mmol/L,(4.51±1.35)mmol/L,(3.04±0.87)mmol/L,F=51.733,P<0.05],Cr[(68.47±18.05)μmol/L,(61.37±14.37)μmol/L,(48.54±8.73)μmol/L,F=23.737,P<0.05],CRP[(7.68±8.76)mg/L,(5.88±6.03)mg/L,(3.56±2.41)mg/L,F=4.735,P<0.05],urine protein[(3.66±0.76)g/L,(2.20±1.05)g/L,(0.19±0.40)g/L,F=249.714,P<0.05]had a statistically significant difference among the early-onset,late-onset and control groups.The flow cytometry results demonstrated that the proportion of Th1 in early-onset group(19.83±3.04)was higher than that in both late-onset (14.49±2.79)and control groups(11.78±1.17),on the contrary,the result of Th2 was much lower(early-onset:1.02±0.12,late-onset: 1.11±0.12,control: 1.56±0.11),there was statistical significance among these three groups(Th1: F=135.110,P<0.05;Th2: F=293.687,P<0.05).Conclusions It′s necessary to real-time monitor the laboratory indicators,such as liver and kidney function,especially the immunologic function indicators for evaluating the disease of early-onset and late-onset severe preeclampsia and personal treatment,and for ensuring the health of mother and fetus and improving the prognostic of mother and fetus.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effects of forearms devascularization on the volt-ampere (V-A) characteristics of Neiguan (PC 6) and Taiyuan (LU 9) so as to investigate the relationship among functions of acupoints, qi and blood in human body and V-A characteristics of acupoints.

METHODSEither forearms of 23 healthy volunteers were devascularized and the changes of V-A characteristics in ipsilateral Neiguan (PC 6) and Taiyuan (LU 9) in normal and devascularization statuses were detected by home-made intelligent V-A detecting system.

RESULTSCompared with the normal status, both range-increasing and range-decreasing V-A areas of Neiguan (PC 6) and Taiyuan (LU 9) were significantly increased in devascularization status (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), and the change rates of these two V-A areas of Neiguan (PC 6) were larger than those of Taiyuan (LU 9) (both P < 0.05). The inertia areas of Neiguan (PC 6) but not Taiyuan (LU 9) became significantly larger after devascularization (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONThe changes in V-A characteristics of Neiguan (PC 6) and Taiyuan (LU 9) can reflect the alteration of local blood supply, and Neiguan (PC 6) is more sensitive to changes of blood flow than Taiyuan (LU 9).

Objective:To investigate the flow cytometric characteristics of bone marrow in patients with aplastic anemia (AA) and hypoplastic myelodysplastic syndrome (hypoMDS) and its value in differential diagnosis between AA and hypoMDS.Methods:A total of 618 patients were recruited from Shandong Provincial Hospital affiliated to Shandong First Medical University from January 2017 to December 2021, including 441 patients as controls with abnormal peripheral blood counts but confirmed to have no AA, hypoproliferative MDS, or other hematological tumors, 57 patients with AA, 52 patients with hypoMDS and 68 patients with diluted bone marrow. The proportions of bone marrow myeloid progenitor cell, lymphocyte, neutrophil and erythroid cell in bone marrow were analyzed by flow cytometry immunophenotyping. The differences between the four groups were compared by Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA. The diagnostic efficacy was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:The proportion of myeloid progenitor cells in control group was [0.30%(0.20%, 0.46%)]; the proportion of myeloid progenitor cells in AA group was [0.00 (0.00, 0.04)]%, while the proportion of myeloid progenitor cells in hypoMDS group was [3.10%(1.25%, 6.71%)]. The proportion of myeloid progenitor cells in AA group was lower than that in control group( χ2=302.90, P<0.001), while the proportion of myeloid progenitor cells in the bone marrow of patients with hypoMDS was higher than that in the control group ( χ2=203.88, P<0.001). The area under the ROC curve for identifying AA and hypoMDS by the ratio of myeloid progenitor cells in bone marrow is 0.996, with the sensitivity of 96.2% and the specificity of 100% when the cutoff value is 0.21%. The proportion of bone marrow lymphocytes in control group was [10.39%(7.33%, 14.80%)]; the proportion of bone marrow lymphocytes in AA group was [52.67%(42.20%, 67.68%)], and the proportion of bone marrow lymphocytes in hypoMDS group was [24.68%(15.51%, 35.19%)]. The proportion of bone marrow lymphocytes in AA group or hypoMDS group was higher than that in control group( χ2=298.74, P<0.001; χ2=194.33; P<0.001), and the proportion of bone marrow lymphocytes in AA group is higher than that in hypoMDS group, with a statistically significant difference( χ2=104.41, P=0.002). The area under the ROC curve for identifying AA and hypoMDS by the ratio of bone marrow lymphocyte is 0.882, with the sensitivity of 78.9% and the specificity of 92.3% when the cutoff value is 41.6%. Conculsion:Patients with AA and hypoMDS could be differentiated effectively by the proportions of myeloid progenitor cell and lymphocyte in bone marrow by flow cytometry immunophenotyping.
