The present invention relates to a method for determining the risk of a pregnant woman developing pre-eclampsia. The method comprises i) determining the level of one or more biochemical markers in a sample obtained from a pregnant woman, and ii) comparing the level of the at least one biochemical marker in the sample with the level of the same biochemical marker in a control sample. A difference in the level of the biochemical marker in the sample relative to the control sample is indicative of an increased risk of developing pre-eclampsia. The isoform biochemical markers are preferably P1GF-2 and P1GF-3. The present invention relates also to a method for determining whether a pregnant woman has pre-eclampsia and as well as a kit for assessing the risk or presence of pre-eclampsia. In addition, the invention relates also to a computer program used in these determinations.

The invention relates to a method for jointly detecting sFlt-1/PLGF and HLA-G for predicting pre-eclampsia.

The method is high in detection specificity and sensitivity.

The invention relates to the technical field of pig feeds, in particular to a fermented feed capable of promoting growth of live pigs, and a preparation method and use method of the fermented feed. The fermented feed is mainly prepared from raw materials of distillers' grains, watermelon peel, peanut vines, helianthus annuus, bulbo-phylulm ambrosirm, polygonum aviculare, pennisetum giganteum, humulus scandens, populus tomentosa, beta vulgaris, corydalis yanhusuo, polygala tenuifolia, scirpus triqueter, eutrema yunnanense, hyssopus officinalis, uncaria rhynchophylla, bombyx mori Linnaeus, crataegus pinnatifida, pinus armandi franch, stone powder, dicalcium phosphate, brown sugar, an enzyme preparation, table salt, microorganisms and the like through steps of treating the raw materials, performing blending and mixing, adopting a lighting stir-frying with bran method, performing fermentation and the like. The formula of the fermented feed is most scientific and reasonable; the fermented feed is rich in nutrition and good in palatability, and has the health-care efficacy of clearing heat, removing toxicity, invigorating the stomach, promoting digestion, resisting bacteria, disinfectinginsects, calming and soothing the nerves, resisting eclampsia, stimulating appetite and the like; the constitutions of the live pigs can be effectively strengthened, and the quick growth of the livepigs can be promoted, so that the average weight gain of the live pigs can be increased, the prevalence rate is reduced, the time that the live pigs become full-grown and ready for slaughter is shortened, and further the breeding benefits of the live pigs are effectively increased; and the preparation method of the fermented feed is simple, and the fermented feed is easy to produce.

The invention relates to a method for screening a severe preeclampsia patient in an early pregnancy, which adopts plasma fibronectin FN and complement 4b of a pregnant woman in the early pregnancy as early pregnancy plasma markers for predicting sPE, and establishes a prediction model for predicting or assisting in predicting whether the pregnant woman progresses to the sPE patient, so that the sPE can be accurately predicted. The method has the beneficial effects that the plasma biological marker of the sPE pregnant woman at the early pregnancy stage is searched by adopting an MS-based proteomics method, and the differential expression plasma marker obtained by proteomics analysis is verified through a commercially available ELISA kit;through proteomics analysis and ELISA verification, based on the difference indexes in the pregnant woman baseline features and the difference indexes in the pregnant woman plasma biomarkers in the prospective queue, an early pregnancy prediction model of sPE is constructed, the prediction accuracy of sPE is improved, clinical early intervention is guided, the incidence rate of PE is reduced as much as possible, and adverse pregnancy events are reduced.

The present invention relates to novel biomarkers such as histidine and ketone bodies and methods of use thereof for detecting preeclampsia in pregnant individuals and for identifying individuals at risk at an early stage of pregnancy.

According to the invention, the ratio of biomarkers leptin to ceramide related to preeclampsia is found for the first time, and early diagnosis of preeclampsia is realized by detecting the level change of the ratio of leptin to ceramide of a subject. The method can be used for evaluating the preeclampsia disease risk during pregnancy, has high accuracy and specificity, and provides an effective method for early prediction and precise prevention of preeclampsia. In the early stage of morbidity, timely and accurate auxiliary diagnosis is carried out on pregnant women with preeclampsia risks, clinical close monitoring on patients is helped, effective intervention is timely carried out to control the illness state and prolong the gestational week, and the method has important significance in reducing the preeclampsia morbidity and mortality rate and guaranteeing the safety of mothers and infants.
