妊娠期肝内胆汁淤积症胎儿胆汁酸水平与肺表面活性物质的相关性研究

Objective To explore the relationship between total bile acid(TBA)concentration and fetal pulmonary surfactant in intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy(ICP).Methods Fifry five patients with ICP(ICP group)who received cesarean section from April 2008 to February 2010 in Second Xiangya Hospital,Central South University,were recruited.The general conditions of the neonates within 7 days after birth in ICP group were recorded.Those with fetal distress,neonatal asphyxia,or neonatal respiratory distress syndrome were referred as pathological neonates, others were referred as normal neonates. Over the same period, 23 healthy gravidas were recruited as control group. Enzymatic method was used to detect the TBA concentrations in maternal blood, cord blood and amniotic fluid. ELISA was employed to measure the urfactant protein A (SP-A) concentration in cord blood. High performance liquid chromatography system was used to detect the concentrations of phesphatidylcholine (PC),phosphatidylinositol (PI),lysophosphatidylcholine ( LPC), and sphingomyelin(SM) in amniotic fluid. Results ( 1 ) The concentrations of TBA in maternal blood, cord blood and amniotic fluid were ( 30. 1 ± 7.9 ), (9. 3± 3. 3 ) and (4. 4 ± 1.5 ) mmol/L in ICP group, (4. 8 ± 2. 2), (4. 9 ± 0. 9) and ( 1.4 v 1.1 ) mmol/L in control group, respectively. The differences between the two groups were significant ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). ( 2 ) The SP-A concentration in cord blood in ICP group was ( 29. 5 ± 6. 4 ) μg/L, significantly higher than that in control group, which was ( 22. 6 ± 7. 4 )μg/L ( P＜ 0. 05 ). ( 3 ) There were 20 pathological neonates and 35 normal neonates in ICP group. In pathological neonates, the concentrations of TBA and SP-A in cord blood were (10.9 ± 2.2) mmol/L,(37.0 ± 5.9 ) μg/L, respectively; and were ( 8.0 ± 2. 8 ) mmol/L, ( 26. 7 ± 4. 8 ) μg/L in normal neonates. The differences were significant (P＜ 0. 05 ). (4) There was a positive correlation between TBA concentration in cord blood and in maternal blood ( r1 = 0. 706, P＜0. 05 ). The TBA concentration in cord blood was positively correlated with SP-A concentration as well ( r3 = 0. 494,P ＜ 0. 05 ). (5) The PC and PI concentrations in amniotic fluid were (65.4 ± 7.2) mg/L and ( 3. 8 ± 0. 6 ) mg/L in ICP group, ( 69. 7 ±3.7) mg/L and (4. 3 ± 0. 7 ) mg/L in control group, respectively. The differences were significant (P ＜0. 05 ). The concentration of LPC in amniotic fluid in ICP group was (4. 8 ±0. 9) mg/L, significantly higher than that in control group (P＜0. 05), which was (4. 2 ±0. 6) mg/L. The concentration of SM in amniotic fluid was (3.5±0. 8) mg/L in ICP group, (4. 0 ± 0. 5 ) mg/L in control group, with no significant difference ( P＞0. 05 ). (6) The ratio of PC/LPC in ICP group ( 14. 2± 3. 2 ) was significantly lower than that in control group ( 16. 9 ± 2. 5 ) ( P＜ 0. 05 ). ( 7 ) The TBA concentration in cord blood was negatively correlated with PC and PI concentrations (r1 = -0. 561, r2 = -0. 407, P ＜ 0. 05 ), and had no correlation with LPC concentration (r3 = 0. 260, P＞ 0. 05). Conclusions ( 1 ) The fetal TBA concentrations in both cord blood and amniotic fluid of patients with ICP was higher than those of healthy gravidas, they were also positively correlated with maternal TBA concentration. (2) ICP resulted in the change of fetal pulmonary surfactant and this change was associated with TBA concentrations in both cord blood and amniotic fluid.

Objective To investigate whether no asphyxia neonates with intrauterine distress are complicated with myocardial injury and determine the sensitive biochemical diagnostic parameters. Methods A total of 89 neonates born in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from July 2009 to December 2009 were enrolled. Fifty-three fetal distress cases with Apgar score ＞ 7 at 1 and 5 minites were enrolled in the study group; while the rest 36 healthy neonates, whose Apgar score = 10 at 1 and 5 minites, were the control group. Umbilical artery blood samples of all cases were collected for blood gas analysis and biochemical measurement. Results(1)pH(7.23±0.07) and BE [(-4.8±3.0)mmol/L] in the study group were significantly lower than pH (7.31 ±0.03) and BE [(-2.1±1.5)mmol/L] in the control group (P＜0.05).The lactic acid of study group [(5.2±2.3)mmol/L] was higher than that of the control group [(2.3±1.1)mmol/L], and the difference was significant (P＜0.01). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in PaO2[(16.2±7.9)mm Hg(1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa) vs. (17.5±6.7)mm Hg] and PaCO2[(54.0±11.2)mm Hg vs. (48.5±5.4) mm Hg; P＞0. 05]. (2) The level of CK-MB in neonates with fetal distress[(48 ±59) U/L] was significantly higher than that of healthy neonates [(36±27)U/L]. However, no significant difference was found in CK [(194±73)U/L vs. (162±95) U/L]and BNP levels[(519±309)ng/L vs.(481±216)ng/L;P ＞ 0.05]. (3) Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that CK-MB level was negatively correlated with pH(r=-0.296, P＜0.05) and BE (r=-0.318,P＜0.05) of umbilical artery blood,while BNP level was positively correlated with umbilical lactic acid (r=0.278, P＜0.05). No correlation was found between other parameters (P＞0.05).Conclusions Intrauterine distress without neonatal asphyxia had effect on fetal myocardial injury.

Abstract：

Objective To investigate the dynamic changes and the clinical significance of T-cell subsets and serum soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R)in neonates with hyperbilirubinemia.Methods Thirty-one neonates with hyperbilirubinemia, admitted to the hospital from Decembr 1,2006 to January 31, 2007, were enrolled and divided into two subgroups: severe jaundice group and mild jaundice group according to the bilirubin level. Thirty-two age-mached healty newborns were as controls(control group Ⅰ). The T-cell subsets and sIL-2R of peripheral venous blood samples from these neonates were measured and compared. Sixteen of these 31 neonates with hyperbilirubinemiawere followed up and another twenty-six age-mached healty newborns were as controls(control group Ⅱ ). The level of serum bilirubin in convalescence of sixteen hyperbilirubinemia neonates and control group Ⅱ were tested and analyzed also. Results The levels of CD3, CD4, CD4/CD8 in the neonates with hyperbilirubinemia were lower compared with those of control group Ⅰ [(54.0±5.1)% vs (62.0±4.7)%, (26.8±5.0)% vs (43.0±4.7)%, 0.8±0.1 vs 1.4±0.2] (P＜0.01), but was higher in convalescence than in peak phase[ (62.4±3.3)% vs (55.1±4.2)%, (43.6±2.5)% vs (26.1±4.4)%, 1.4 ± 0.1 vs 0.8±0.1] (P＜0.01). The peak level of sIL-2R in the hyperbilirubinemia group was (319.4± 185.2) kU/L, higher than that in the convalescence [(129.7±99.3) kU/L] and in the control group Ⅱ [(171.9±102.2) kU/L] (P＜0.01). The serum bilirubin level showed negative correlation with CD4/CD8 ( r = -0.99, P ＜ 0.01 ) and positive correlation with sIL-2R (r=0.95, P＜0.05). The sIL-2R level was negatively correlated with CD4/CD8 (r=-0.92, P＜0.05). Conclusions Neonates, when suffering from hyperbilirubinemia, are immunosuppressed which may recover with the alleviation of jaundice.     

Fetal lung surfactant and development alterations in intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy

AIM: To investigate the association between total bile acid (TBA) level during intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) and fetal lung surfactant alteration. METHODS: We recruited 42 ICP and 32 normal pregnancy women in this study. The maternal blood, fetal blood and amniotic fluid TBA level were detected using a circulating enzymatic method. Umbilical blood pulmonary surfactant protein A (SP-A) was evaluated with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. High performance liquid chromatography was used for the determination of phosphatidyl choline (PC), phosphatidyl inositol (PI), lysolecithin (LPC) and sphingomyelin (SM). Amniotic fluid lamellar body was counted with a fully automatic blood cell counter. Fetal lung area and fetal body weight were calculated from data obtained with an iu22 color supersonic diagnostic set. Clinical information of a nonstress test, amniotic fluid properties and neonatal Apgar score, and birth weight were recorded for review. RESULTS: The TBA level in maternal blood, fetal blood and amniotic fluid in the ICP group were significantly higher than that in the control group (maternal blood: 34.11 ± 6.75 mmol/L vs 4.55 ± 1.72 mmol/L, P < 0.05; fetal blood: 11.9 ± 2.23 mmol/L vs 3.52 ± 1.56 mmol/L, P < 0.05; amniotic fluid: 3.89 ± 1.99 mmol/L vs 1.43 ± 1.14 mmol/L, P < 0.05). Amniotic fluid PC and PI in the ICP group were significantly lower than that in the control group (PC: 65.71 ± 7.23 μg/mL vs 69.70 ± 6.68 μg/mL, P < 0.05; PI: 3.87 ± 0.65 μg/mL vs 4.28 ± 0.74 μg/mL, P < 0.05). PC/LPC ratio of the ICP group was lower than that of the control group (14.40 ± 3.14 vs 16.90 ± 2.52, P < 0.05). Amniotic LB in the ICP group was significantly lower than that of the control group ((74.13 ± 4.37) × 10⁹/L vs (103.0 ± 26.82) × 10⁹/L, P < 0.05). Fetal umbilical blood SP-A level in the ICP group was significantly higher than that of the control group (30.26 ± 7.01 ng/mL vs 22.63 ± 7.42 ng/mL, P < 0.05). Fetal lung area/body weight ratio of the ICP group was significantly lower than that of the control group (5.76 ± 0.63 cm²/kg vs 6.89 ± 0.48 cm²/kg, P < 0.05). In the ICP group, umbilical cord blood TBA concentration was positively correlated to the maternal blood TBA concentration (r = 0.746, P < 0.05) and umbilical blood SP-A (r = 0.422, P < 0.05), but it was negatively correlated to the amniotic fluid lamellar corpuscle (r = 0.810, P < 0.05) and fetal lung area/body weight ratio (r = 0.769, P < 0.05). Furthermore, umbilical blood TBA showed a negative correlation to PC, SM and PI (r_pc = 0.536, r_sm = 0.438, r_pi = 0.387 respectively, P < 0.05). The neonatal asphyxia, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, fetal distress and perinatal death rates in the ICP group are higher than that of the control group. CONCLUSION: ICP has higher TBA in maternal and fetal blood and amniotic fluid. The high concentration of TBA may affect fetal pulmonary surfactant production and fetal lung maturation.

Fetal protein loss in gastroschisis as an explanation of associated morbidity

OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to examine whether protein deficiency in utero develops in fetuses with gastroschisis. STUDY DESIGN: Twelve infants with prenatally diagnosed gastroschisis were compared with 29 control infants without gastroschisis and 2 infants with exomphalos who were delivered between 35 and 42 weeks of gestation. The groups were compared for birth weight, cord serum total protein and amniotic fluid total protein, and alpha-fetoprotein concentrations. The amniotic fluid samples were collected when the amniotic membranes were ruptured either during cesarean delivery or at artificial rupture of the membranes, and umbilical cord blood was obtained after delivery. RESULTS: In the 10 cases of gastroschisis in which cord serum total protein was measured, the median concentration was 51 g/L (range, 43-61 g/L) and was significantly lower than the median level of 62 g/L (range, 47-78 g/L) in the control group (P <.001). In the 8 cases of gastroschisis in which amniotic fluid total protein and alpha-fetoprotein concentrations were measured, the respective median levels were 5.1 g/L (range, 4.3-18.4 g/L) and 5.0 g/L (range, 2.4-13.2 g/L), which were significantly higher than the median levels of 2.0 g/L (range, 0.5-5.4 g/L) and 0.8 g/L (range, 0.5-1.7 g/L) in the control group (P <.0001). The ratio of amniotic fluid to cord serum total protein was significantly higher than that in the cases of exomphalos and in the control group (P <.001). The median birth weight in the neonates with gastroschisis was 2400 g (range, 1192-3155 g) and was significantly lower than the median value of 3535 g (range, 2520-4680 g) in the control group (P <.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Fetuses with gastroschisis have protein loss that could partly explain associated morbidity. However, whether this is a major contributor to poor fetal outcome remains to be shown.

Abstract：

Objective To investigate the variance levels of plasma soluble leukocyte differentiation antigens CD40 (sCD40) and soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L) in preeclamptic patients with renal damage and its relationship. Methods A total of 63 pregnant women attended the Department of Obstetrics, Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University Medical College between August 2008 and June 2010. In the present study included 28 pregnant women with mild preeclampsia and 35 patients with severe preeclampsia. Thirty matched normotensive pregnant women were enrolled in the study as the control group. Expression of sCD40 and sCD40L were determined by ELISA. At the same time, the blood routine, C reaction protein ( CRP),urine routine, 24 hours urine protein excretion, and serum uric acid (UA), creatinine (Cr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were measured. The correlation analysis was performed between the sCD40/sCD40L and the blood biochemical indexes in 3 groups. Results ( 1 ) The median levels of CRP in severe preeclampsia (10. 8 mg/L)and mild preeclampsia group(7. I mg/L)are significantly higher than that of control group (3. 3 mg/L,P ＜ 0. 05 ); The level of CRP in severe preeclampsia group was also higher than that of mild preeclampsia group ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). The median gestational age at delivery in severe preeclampsia ( 32. 5 weeks)was significantly less than that of mild preeclampsia group ( 37. 2 weeks) and normal group ( 38. 6 weeks,P ＜ 0. 05). However no significant differences were observed between mild preeclampsia group and normal group ( P ＞0. 05 ). The platelet count in severe preeclampsia ( 132 × 109/L) was significantly less than those of mild preeclampsia group (212 × 109/L) and normal group ( 216 × 109/L, P ＜ 0. 01 ), but no significant differences were observed in blood platelet amount between mild preeclampsia group and normal group ( P ＞0. 05 ). There was no significant difference in hemoglobin level and white blood cell in three groups ( P ＞0. 05). (2) The sCD40 plasma concentration in severe, mild preeclampsia and normal group was 133.6,126. 5 and 90. 7 ng/L, respectively. The sCD40 L plasma concentrations were 12. 5, 10. 4 and 4. 4 ng/L respectively in the 3 groups. 24 hours urinary protein quantitative was 4. 5 g/d,0. 8 g/d and 0 in the 3 groups respectively. And the UA level was 486 μ mol/L,289 μmol/L and 162 μmol/L. In the above three groups,the monitoring indicators were significantly higher in women with severe preeclampsia group compared with mild preeclampsia and control groups (P ＜ 0. 01 ), and there were also higher in mild preeclampsia group than that in control groups ( P ＜ 0. 01 ). The level of plasma Cr ( 89 μmol/L) and BUN ( 5. 32 mmol/L) in severe preeclampsia group were higher than those of mild preeclampsia group (66 μmol/L and 4. 49mmol/L) and control group ( 57 μmol/L and 3.32 mmol/L, P ＜ 0. 05 ). There was no significant difference between mild preeclampsia group and normal group (P ＞ 0. 05 ). (3) The correlation analysis indicated that the level of sCD40 has a positive correlation with 24 hours urinary protein quantitative( r = 0. 434, P ＜ 0. 05 ),also significant positive correlation( r =0. 536,0. 528 ,P ＜ 0. 01 ) between the level of sCD40 and UA or CRP in women with preeclampsia. There was no significant correlation between the level of sCD40 and systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, delivery gestational age, Cr, BUN, and platelet count(r =0. 135,0. 183, -0. 133,0. 190,0. 167, -0. 221 ,all P ＞0. 05 ). There were positive correlation between the level of sCD40L and 24 hours urine protein excretion, either UA or CRP( r =0. 591,0. 445,0. 539 ,all P ＜0. 01 ). No significant correlation was found between sCD40 L and systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure,delivery gestational age, Cr, BUN, and platelet count( r =0. 178,0. 212, -0. 292,0. 144,0. 135, -0. 273,all P ＞0. 05). There was significant positive correlation between plasma sCD40 and sCD40L ( r =0. 707 ,P ＜0. 01 ). There was no relationship between the level of sCD40, sCD40L and the blood biochemical indexes in normotensive pregnant women ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). Conclusions The plasma concentrations of sCD40 and sCD40 L are significantly higher in pregnant women with preeclampsia compared with the control, which may be involved in the development of preeclampsia and contribute to the kidney damage. The variance levels of sCD40 and sCD40L may be also related to the severity of preeclampsia.
