RESUMO
Objective To investigate the state of thyroid hormones and thyrotropin level in different gestation periods. Methods FT3, FT4, TSH and hCG were measured in 623 patients by ACS-180 automatic chemiluninescence analyzer. The urinary iodine was random measured by the use of iodine catalytic reaction mechanism of Arsenic-Cerium, rapid urinary iodine was detected with cold digestion method of quantitative detection. Result Serum FT3,FT4 ,and hCG levels in the first and second trimester were higher than in the third trimester ( F =53. 19,78.00,58.77, P ＜0. 05) ,and TSH levels were lower than in the third trimester ( F =5.68, P ＜0.05). The incidence of thyrotropin level disorder was 7. 54%, there were no significant differences in the gestation periods ( χ2 = 3.92, P ＞ 0. 05 ). The incidence of subclinical hypothyroidism,subclinical hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism were 3.53%, 2. 57%, 1.12% and 0. 32%, respectively. The incidence of subclinical hypothyroidism in the first and third trimester was high, while the incidence of subclinical hyperthyroidism in the second trimester was high. Conclusions Thyrotropin level in the third trimester was lower than that of the first and second trimester. HCG changes were not the main reason that caused the thyrotropin level disorder during the pregnancy.
RESUMO
Objective To study whether eicosapentaenoate can decrease the apoptosis effects in-duced by palmitic acid in INS-1 or not. Methods Based on different condition, there were four groups in this study, including control group , EPA group, palmitic acid group, combination of EPA and palmitic acid group. The grow curve was detected by MTT, and the expressions of bax were detected by Western blot.Cell apoptosis was detected by caspase-3. ROS was detected by CM2H2DCFDA kit after 48h. Result The grow curve of combination of EPA and palmitic acid group was higher than that in plamitic group[24 h :(37.33±1.15)OD vs (30. 79 ± 1.55 )OD, P < 0. 01 ;48 h:(31.50 ± 1.56)OD vs (23.94 ± 1.10)OD, P<0. 01] . Caspase-3 activity and ROS and the expression of bax and SREBP1c in combination of palmitic acid and T0901317 group were lower than those in palmitic acid group[(3566. 67 ± 305.51 )OD vs (4233. 33 ±416. 33)OD]. Conclusion EPA can inhibit apoptosis in INS-1 induced by palmitic acid.
