Objective:To investigate the clinical features, early diagnosis, and treatment of acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP).Methods:The clinical data of 42 pregnant women with acute fatty liver treated at our hospital from January, 2015 to December, 2019 were collected and analyzed. According to their prothrombin activities (PTA), the patients were divided into a severe group ( n=19), whose PTA value was <40%, and a mild group ( n=23), whose PTA value was ≥40%. The clinical characteristics, laboratory tests, the outcomes of the maternal and fetus were compared between the two groups. Results:There were no statistical differences in the levels of AST, PT, UA, LDH, and NH3 between the two groups (all P>0.05). The levels of AT-Ⅲ, PLT, PTA, Fb, Glu, and ALT were lower and the levels of TBIL, DBIL, WBC, and Cr were higher in the severe group than in the mild group [(38.36±20.03)% vs. (59.16±23.32)%, (139.44±89.69)10 9/L vs. (183.46±79.14)10 9/L, (31.96±7.32)% vs. (93.40±28.96)%, (0.92±0.63) g/L vs. (1.93±1.06) g/L, (3.56±1.09) mmol/L vs. (5.53±1.22) mmol/L, (186.27±169.33) U/L vs. (297.46±168.69)U/L, (172.59±106.61) μmol/L vs. (54.46±46.86) μmol/L, (142.06±79.36) μmol/L vs. (46.39±40.89) μmol/L, (17.59±4.36)10 9/L vs. (11.36±7.69)10 9/L, and (151.49±49.66) μmol/L vs. (119.45±41.69) μmol/L; all P<0.05]. Of these 42 cases with AFLP, 41 cases occurred upper gastrointestinal symptoms. The complications, such as eclampsia, low protein, low glucose, failure of liver and kidney, DIC, and lung infection were more common in the severe group than in the mild group (all P<0.05). Conclusions:AFLP is a severe complication of pregnancy, which occurs in the third trimester of pregnancy and has a high risk for both mothers and fetus. During the clinical procedures, more attention should be paid to the patients in order to make early diagnosis and active treatment; timely termination and plasma exchange can improve the outcomes.
The current study investigated whether placentation and systemic inflammation are associated with pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) or pre-eclampsia (PE), and evaluated some measurable indexes for assessment of maternal factors contributing to high-risk pregnancy. Photoplethysmographic reflection index (PPG RI), uterine artery (UtA) pulsatile index (PI) and reflection index (RI), as well as maternal serum placental growth factor (PlGF) and soluble endoglin (sEng) were measured in pregnant women with singleton pregnancy at the gestational age of 22 to 23 weeks. Study subjects were women with normal pregnancy (NP, n=24), PIH (n=14) and PE (n=16). It was found that individuals in the PIH group exhibited higher UtA RI and UtA PI values, as well as PPG RI values compared with individuals in the NP group. Individuals in the PE group had the highest UtA RI, UtA PI and PPG RI values among these 3 groups. UtA and PPG results were significantly different in PIH and PE groups compared with the NP group. Significant differences were found in both PlGF and sEng levels between PIH and PE groups. A strong inverse across-subject correlation was found between PlGF and sEng levels. A weak inverse correlation was found between PlGF and UtA RI, and PlGF and UtA PI. A moderate inverse correlation was found between PlGF and PPG RI. A moderate positive correlation was found between either sEng and UtA RI or sEng and UtA PI. A very strong positive correlation was found between sEng and PPG RI. Taken together, the current results indicated that maternal effects related to cardiovascular adaptation to placentation and systemic inflammation exhibited significant differences between NP and PIH or PE groups. Therefore, assessment of UtA and PPG could be used for identifying high-risk pregnancy.
目的:探讨妊娠中期子宫动脉超声搏动指数(UtA PI)和阻力指数(UtA RI)联合血清胎盘生长因子(Placental growth factor,PlGF)和可溶性血管内皮因子(soluble endoglin,sEng)水平的变化与子痫前期(preeclampsia, PE)发病的相关性.方法:从深圳市人民医院产检建册的孕妇中遴选符合纳入标准的244例用作研究队列;收集妊娠中期(20~24周)的指端容积血流脉动波形描记信号反射指数(PPG RI)、UtA PI和UtA RI以及PlGF和sEng检测数据.根据妊娠结局分为正常对照组、轻度PE组和重度PE组,比较妊娠中期上列指标与PE发病的相关性.结果:244例队列中得到229例有效样本,轻度PE组(14例)和重度PE组(16例)的PPG RI值、UtA PI和UtA RI都大于对照组(199例),组间差异均有统计学意义.并且,重度PE组与轻度PE组比较,差异有统计学意义;同时,轻度PE组和重度PE组的血清PlGF水平显著低于正常对照组,且重度PE组低于轻度PE组;相反,轻度PE组和重度PE组的血清sEng水平显著高于正常对照组,且重度PE组高于轻度PE组.结论:PPG RI、UtA PI和UtA RI与血清PlGF及sEng水平动态变化趋势与后续子痫前期发病及其严重程度相关.
羊水栓塞是一种罕见而危重的产科并发症,严重威胁母婴健康.羊水栓塞的临床过程极其复杂,临床表现多种多样,其病因及发病机制目前尚不十分明确,免疫反应可能是最重要的病理生理机制,过敏反应、炎症反应及补体反应等均参与其中.据此展开的羊水栓塞血清标志物研究对于预测、早期诊断及防治羊水栓塞具有重要的指导意义,但目前尚缺乏成熟的临床应用.
BACKGROUND/AIMS:To investigate whether abdominal aortic balloon occlusion (ABO) effectively reduces intraoperative hemorrhage in patents with placenta previa increta/increta. METHODS:Forty-three women were diagnosed as placenta previa increta/percreta by ultrasound and MRI. These patients' assessments were taken by their chief physician, and they were under necessity of previous cesarean section as confirmed by the committee of experts during consultation. There was no significant difference in disease risk rating between them in whole process. Although our department provided a more appropriate method, 10 of 43 patients chose intraoperative aortic balloon occlusion (IABO). Other 33 patients who refused that suggestion were considered as control group. Fully informed consents were obtained from all patients in this study group. The intraoperative blood loss, blood transfusion, rate of hysterectomy and complications of mothers and fetus of IABO group and control group were analyzed. RESULTS:The median intraoperative blood loss was 1000 ml in the IABO group compared with 2000 ml in the control group (p < 0.05). The median volume of transfused red blood cells was 1100 ml in the IABO group compared with 2000 ml in the control group (p < 0.05). 33.3% (11/33) patients in the control group had hemorrhagic shock, and one of them suffered from cardiac arrest intraoperatively because of severe bleeding. However, none of these serious events occurred in the IABO group (p < 0.05). The hysterectomy rate was 70% (7/10) in the IABO group and 63.3% (21/33) in the control group (p > 0.05). No IABO-related complications were observed in the mother and fetus. CONCLUSION:IABO is an effective and safe method to control intraoperative blood loss and blood transfusion in patients with placenta previa increta/percreta.
BackgroundThere is a well-documented association between prenatally diagnosed chromosomal uniparental disomy and poor pregnancy outcome.Methods and resultIn this study, we identified an intrauterine growth restricted fetus carrying a maternal UPD 16 with segmental hetero- and isodisomy using the Affymetrix CytoScan HD SNP-array and the UPDtool. We also performed FISH to exclude trisomy mosaicism of chr.16. We then explored the genetic mechanisms of how imprinted genes cause clinical abnormalities. Additionally, we reviewed the mUPD16 literature, compared the clinical phenotypes of our patient with other reported cases, and assessed the loss of autosomal-recessive genes in the regions of homozygosity.ConclusionsConsidering UPD mechanism of potential impact on the function of the placenta, the genetic composition of chromosome 16, and the information previous literature reports, we have reason to believe that UPD16 correlates with IUGR.
Objective To investigate the clinical features of acute fatty liver of pregnancy,and to improve the early diagnosis.Methods The clinical data of 13 patients of acute fatty liver of pregnancy from January 2014 to June 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.Clinical manifest,chemical examination and imaging examination were analyzed.Results The lategestation,upper digestive tract symptom,liver,renal and blood clotting function abnormity were common characteristics of all patients of acute fatty liver of pregnancy,but heightened blood ammonia,blood uric acid and leukocytes or decreased blood glucose and ultrasonic sound abnormity appeared only in proportion of these patients.Conclusions Lategestation,upper digestive tract symptom,liver,renal and blood clotting function abnormity are five capital standard of early diagnosis of acute fatty liver of pregnancy;by knowing this,we can diagnose it early and improve the outcome.
Objective: Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) refers to two or more consecutive spontaneous abortions, and its morbidity is about 1%-1.8% of fertile women. It was to study the role of MAPK/ERK signal pathway in the recurrent miscarriage patients by case-control analysis; Methods: It collected 46 RSA patients, without growing of early embryos, which were constituted in patients group. Matched gestational time and women age, it used the normal Pregnant woman at same period as control group. The mRNA expression of were detected by RT-PCR, the protein expression of were detected by western blot. Calculated its value and found that difference; Result: It could be found the average ERK1/2 expression in tissues of VCT, EVCT and DSC were lower in the RAS patients than that of the control group (P<0.05). The expression of protein ERK and P-ERK was consistent with RNA testing results, under western blot testing. ERK and PERK were at lower expression in villi and deciduas, which suggested it had relationship with recurrent miscarriage; Conclusion: The expression of ERK1/2 mRNA and the relative protein expression of ERK in RSA pathway were lower than normal pregnancy, which indicated MAPK/ERK signal pathway participated in the maintenance of normal pregnancy; the decreased expression of ERK is closely related to RSA disease.

Aim:To study the clinical characteristics of pregnancy combined with epidemic hemorrhag-ic fever (EHF)and the prognosis of the mother and fetus,in order to provide data for clinical diagnosis and therapy of the disease.Methods:7 cases of EHF with pregnancy were analyzed for clinical symp-toms and characteristics.Laboratory tests were carried out for prognosis of the mother and fetus.Results:6 cases exhibited fever symptoms and 5 cases had abnormal bleeding.Laboratory tests showed that all of the 7 cases had thrombocytopenia,coagulation abnormalities,prolonged APTT and TT,elevated activities of liver enzymes,hypokalemia and positive EHF-IgM test.Prognosis:4 of the mothers had fully recov-ered,2 had renal function abnormalities and 1 was dead;2 babies were found healthy,1 premature baby suffered from congenital heart disease and necrotizing enterocolitis,3 fetus were found dead after 7,24, and 27 weeks of gestation,respectively,1 fetus lost contact after 22 weeks of gestation.Conclusion:The mortality is high for both mothers and fetus.Fever and hemorrhage were the main clinical features. Thrombocytopenia,coagulation abnormalities,elevated liver enzyme activities and hypokalemia were the clinical characters of EHF with pregnancy.EHF-IgM is the necessary test for diagnosis.
Objective:To discuss the occurrence and treatment of the perioperative bleeding and serious complications of scar uterus complicated with central placenta previa;and introduce the effect of a new technology of aortic balloon occusion to control intra-operative hemorrhage. Methods:Between Jan. 2005 to Nov. 2013,97 patients of scar uterus complicated with central placenta previa delivered in our hospital,which were divided into 3 groups accord-ing to the placenta attachment:placenta increta group ( 39 cases ) , placenta accreta group ( 18 cases) ,and normal group(40 cases) . 5 patients in placenta increta group accept aortic balloon occlusion during operation to control blood lost. The rate of prenatal bleeding,volume of blood lost intra/peri-operation and transfusion of RBC, serious complications, maternal and neonatal prognosis was analyzed. Results:(1)The rate of prenatal bleeding was 43. 6% in placenta in-creta group,lower than placenta accreta group(67. 7%,P<0. 05)and normal group(75. 5%,P<0 . 05 ) . There was no significance between the late two groups ( P>0 . 05 ) . The average intra-operative blood lost was (1990±1226)ml in placenta increta group,(950±300)ml in placenta accreta group and (625±383)ml in normal group. There was statistically different among each groups (P<0. 01 ). The average peri-operative blood loss was (2208±1409)ml in placenta in-creta group,(1189±822) ml in placenta accreta group,(773±554) ml in normal group. There was statistically different among each groups(P<0. 01). 37 cases(94. 9%) in placenta increta group,16cases(88. 7%) in placenta accrete group and 23 cases(57. 5%) in normal group need blood transfusion. The average volume of RBC transfusion in placneta increta group was (2005±1198)ml,significantly higher than accreta group[(963±393)ml,P<0. 01)]and normal group[(1091±833) ml,P<0. 01]. There was no statistical difference between the later two groups(P>0. 05). (2)The blood lost of the 5 cases in placenta increta group who accept aortic balloon occlusion was much less than the other 34 cases who refused aortic balloon occlusion (media 1000ml vs 2000ml,P<0. 01). (3)26 cases(66. 7%)in placenta increta group and 1 case in accreta group had hysterectomy. ( 4 ) No maternal death. 1 patient in placenta increta group who lost 6000ml blood intra-operation, and underwent cardiac arrest, was successfully saved. 1 serious asphyxia neonate (29 weeks of gestational age) died,all other newborns were healthy. Conclusions:Patients of scar uterus complicated with central placenta previa, have a high rate of placenta increta. The rate of massive blood loss intra/peri operation and hysterecto-my is high. Large volume blood transfusion should be prepared before operation. Aortic balloon occusion is an effective measure to contorl blood lost intra-operation.
OBJECTIVE:Normal pregnancy is characterized by maternal hemodynamic adaptations of cardiovascular system and uterine artery. We aimed to investigate quantitatively the relationship between uterine artery Doppler (Ut AD) ultrasonography and finger photoplethysmography (PPG) in each of the three trimesters.METHODS:Eighty normal pregnancy subjects were recruited from the nulliparous women with uncomplicated singleton pregnancy presenting for a routine ultrasound scan and divided into three groups according to their trimester. Comparative analysis were conducted between Ut AD ultrasonography and finger PPG within and across trimesters, particularly with focus on the relationship between Uterine Artery Resistance Index (UtA RI) and photoplethysmographic reflection index (PPG RI) throughout pregnancy. Additional 10 preeclampsia patients in third trimester were enrolled for comparison.RESULTS:Both UtA RI and PPG RI were markedly decreased with gestation in normal pregnancy and generally consistent with each other in trend. The preeclampsia patients of third trimester were significantly higher in both indices, even more than normal pregnancy subjects of first trimester.CONCLUSIONS:The results of this study revealed clear relationship between UtA RI and PPG RI throughout pregnancy which could be exploited to enhance the potential ability in early recognition of pathophysiologic process in maternal adaptation and prediction of complicated pregnancy.
目的 体外模拟子痫前期胎盘缺氧的低氧环境培养滋养细胞,研究低氧对滋养细胞骨桥蛋白(osteopontin,OPN)表达的影响,以进一步深入研究OPN在子痫前期发病机制中的作用.方法 利用气体混配缺氧装置(QT-MTX-3)模拟子痫前期的发生发展过程,配置不同氧浓度,采用细胞免疫组化和实时荧光定量PCR检测人胎盘绒毛膜癌滋养细胞系BeWo细胞在不同氧浓度下OPN蛋白及其mRNA的表达.结果 ①在不同氧浓度的环境下,显微镜观察BeWo细胞的生长情况,发现其对低氧反应敏感,细胞形态发生明显的改变.②细胞免疫组化检测结果显示:OPN在各组BeWo细胞中均有表达,其免疫反应产物主要表达定位于胞质和胞膜中;缺氧24 h各组的OPN蛋白表达无明显变化;但低氧48 h后,低氧组OPN蛋白的表达水平均明显下降,且2%O2组OPN蛋白下降更显著.③实时荧光定量PCR检测结果表明低氧对滋养细胞OPN mRNA的表达影响呈现出浓度时间依赖性,即随着氧浓度的降低和低氧时间的延长,OPN mRNA的表达呈显著下降趋势.结论 低氧使BeWo细胞OPN的表达降低,且呈浓度时间依赖性,类似于OPN在子痫前期胎盘组织的表达随病情加重而进一步降低,这可能是子痫前期胎盘中缺氧对滋养细胞功能影响的重要机制之一.
Objective To evaluate the expression of placental vascular endothelial growth factor of twin pregnancies with selective intrauterine growth restriction (sIUGR) and its high risk factors.Methods There were 590 cases of twins delivered in Shenzhen People' s Hospital,including 42 cases of monochorionic diamnionic (MCDA) twins with sIUGR (case group) and 47 cases of dichorionic (DC) twins with sIUGR (control group A).Other 42 cases of MCDA twins without IUGR(control group B) were randomly selected.Placental weight and cord insertion were recorded at deliveries.The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in human placenta was evaluated by immunohistochemistry.Results The incidence of perinatal death in the case group was higher than that in the control group (17.8% vs 6.4% vs 1.2%,P < 0.01).The rate of velamentous cord insertion were 48.8%,10.6% and 14.3% in the case,control A and B groups,respectively (P < 0.01).The mean placental weight of the big and small twins were (521 ± 149)g vs (258 ± 53)g in the case group.As for the sIUGR cases,the expression of VEGF in the placental tissue at the big babies' share were much higher than those of the small ones'.Conclusion The perinatal mortality was higher in MCDA sIUGR twins than those in DC twins or uncomplicated MC twins.The risk factors of MCDA sIUGR include unequal placental sharing,velamentous cord insertions and low expression of placenta VEGF.
