ABSTRACT
Objective To study the expression and the mechanism of miR-155in the villi of patients with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA).Methods The expression of miR-155 in the villi of 36 cases with URSA (URSA group) and 25 women with normal early pregnancy (control group) were detected by stem-loop real-time reverse transcription (RT) qPCR.Expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1α),vascular endothelial cell growth factor(VEGF) and micro lymphatic vessel density (MVD) in the villi of were measured by immnohistochemical staining among two groups.Results (1) miR-155 expression:the mean miR-155 expression were 1.456 (0.489,2.459) in URSA group and 2.833 (1.740,3.794) in control group,which reached statistical difference (P ＜0.05).The mean expression of miR-155 of 1.683 (0.902,2.459) in URSA group with abortion times (≤ 3) was significantly higher than 1.229 (0.489,1.719) in URSA group with more than 4 times abortion (P ＜ 0.05).(2) Indexes:the expression of HIF-1α,VEGF and MVD value were 121 ± 12,134 ± 12,36 ± 6 in URSA group and 99 ± 10,109 ± 10,28 ±4 in control group,which reached statistical difference(P ＜ 0.01).The expression of HIF-1α,VEGF and MVD value of 119 ± 12,134 ± 12,35 ± 5 in URSA group with less than 3 times abortion was significantly lower than 128 ± 12,138 ± 12,43 ± 6 in URSA group with more than 4 times abortion (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions The expression of miR-155 and HIF-1α is topically stimulated by oxygen signal.HIF-1α adjusts the transcription and translation of VEGF,which together involved in placental trophoblast invasion and placental angiogenesis.The low expression of miR-155 could interfere with expression of HIF-1α and VEGF,which might be involved in villous vascular dysplasia in URSA.
ABSTRACT
Objective To screen the abnormal glucose metabolism in pregnant women without diabetes and to give early intervention to reduce perinatal maternal and fetal adverse complications.Methods 2 579 pregnant women who received obstetric examination and revealed no diabetes,underwent GCT screening and OGTr reexamination.The results confirmed the 263 GIGT patients,22 GDM patients.They were givien intervention therapy until delivery and their pregnancy outcome was compared with the normal pregnant women.Results The pregnancy outcome of GIGT pregnant women received intervention and the normal pregnant women had no significant difference.The incidence rates of macrosomia and cesarean section in GDM group were higher than those of normal pregnant women (P ＜0.05,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Development of gestational abnormal glucose tolerance screening is important to the early diagnosis and intervention of potential IGT,GDM patients,which can significantly reduce the incidence rate of maternal and fetal adverse complications.
ABSTRACT
Six years' English teaching in department of obstetrics and gynecology in Wenzhou Medical College were reviewed. Language and cultural differences are the main reasons hindering teaching quality. Rational use of a variety of teachers,preparing for lessons adequately,adoption of English image data,supplying and revising English teaching materials,using network auxiliary teaching and forming ef-fective education mode are conducive to improving English teaching quality in department of obstetrics and gynecology for foreign students.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the expression of RECK gene in placentas of patients with preeclampsia and its correlation with MMP-2 activation,and explore the possible roles of RECK gene in the placental trophoblast invasion mechanism.Methods RT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression of RECK mRNA and protein respectively in the placental tissues of normal late pregnant women (normal pregnant group,22 cases) and pre-eclamptic patients(22 mild cases and 20 severe cases).Gelatinase zymography was used to determine MMP-2 activation ratio.Results The expression levels of RECK mRNA and protein from placenta tissues in mild,severe pre-eclamptic group were both significantly higher than those in nomal pregnant group.Moreover,the expression levels of RECK mRNA and protein in severe pre-eclamptic group were obviously increased as compared with those in mild pre-eclamptic group.There was significant difference among the three groups (all P<0.01).MMP-2 activation ratio in mild,severe pre-eclamptic group was significantly lower than that in normal pregnant group.MMP-2 activation ratio in severe pre-eclamptie groups was obviously reduced as compared with mild pre-eclamptic group.There was significant difference among the three groups(all P<0.01).The expression leVels of RECK mRNA and protein were significantly negatively correlated with MMP-2 activation ratio (both P<0.01).Conclusion The abnormal high expression of RECK and inhibition of MMP-2 activation in placentas of pre-eclamptic patients may participate in the process of placental trophoblast shallow invasion.
