ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the consistency of individual iodine nutrition levels by serum iodine, plasma iodine and whole blood iodine, and to provide reference for iodine-related epidemiological investigation.Methods:Healthy adults aged 18 - 59 years were recruited from the Research Center of Environment and Health in Water Source Area of South-to-North Water Diversion of Hubei University of Medicine. Whole blood sample was collected and serum and plasma were separated. The content of iodine in serum, plasma and whole blood was determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), and the linear relationship, precision and accuracy of the standard curve of the detection method were evaluated. The difference of three kinds of blood iodine levels was analyzed by variance analysis of compatibility group design, and Passing-Bablok regression and Bland-Altman plot were used to evaluate the consistency between serum iodine and plasma iodine.Results:The linear range of iodine in serum, plasma and whole blood was 0.0 - 25.0 μg/L, and the correlation coefficients ( R2) were all > 0.999. The relative standard deviation of 8 mixed blood samples ranged from 1.9% to 4.3% ( n = 6), and the determination results of blood iodine certified standard substances were all within the reference range. The recovery rate of the added standard ranged from 99% to 106%. The iodine levels in serum, plasma and whole blood of 50 volunteers were (57.31 ± 8.06), (57.49 ± 8.50) and (33.89 ± 5.40) μg/L, respectively, and there was no statistically significant difference between serum iodine and plasma iodine ( P = 0.904). The results of Passing-Bablok regression showed that there was no statistically significant difference in bias between serum iodine and plasma iodine ( P = 0.538). The Bland-Altman plot indicated that the difference between serum iodine and plasma iodine was within the consistency limit. Conclusion:The results of plasma iodine and serum iodine are in good agreement, and plasma iodine can be used as an evaluation index of individual iodine nutrition level. But there is no consistency between whole blood iodine and serum iodine.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a HPLC method for determination of naringenin and apigenin in Premna fulva. Methods The SHISEIDO￣SPOLAR C18(250 mm×4.6 mm,5μm) was used as analytical column.The mobile phase consisted of methanol￣0.2% phosphoric acid (42:58) with isocratic elution at a flow rate of 1.0 mL.min-1 .The detection wavelength of naringenin and apigenin was 288 nm and 340 nm, respectively.Column temperature was set at 35 ℃ , the injection Volume was 10 μL. Results Naringenin and apigenin had a good linear relationship in the concentration range of 0.180 ~ 3.60 μg (r =0.999 9) and 0. 0052 ~ 0. 1040 μg ( r = 0. 999 9), respectively. Conclusion The method is accurate and reliable. It is appropriate for the quantitative determination of naringenin and apigenin in Premna fulva and its preparations.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the calculation and report of detection index and the statistics analysis of group comparison in high risk group,a problem of medical science study.Methods Relevant literature was consulted so that the methods could be listed of the detection index and the current statistic analysis of group comparison in high risk group.Results The current report about detection ratio and the statistics analysis of group comparison in high risk group proved to be mistaken,and the statistics analysis of group comparison was not the comparison of detection ratios in high risk group.Conclusions It is necessary to calculate and report the detection ratio when expressing the detection index.The statistics difference should be tested about constituent ratio in the group comparison,after excluding patient group.At the same time,some explanation should be given by the author in the composition.
