ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the relationship of the expression, regulation and adhesion of PTA1 in pregnancy induced hypertension(PIH). Methods The expression,regulation and adhesion of PTA1 on vascular en- dothelial cells incubated by sera from 10 PIH patients and 10 normal pregnant women repectively was detected by flow cytometry. Results The positive rate of PTA1 15.51% (24h) and 6.32 % (48h) in PIH group is significantly higher than that 7.81% (24h) and 4.72 % (48h) in normal pregnant woman group( P < 0.01 ). After the incubation with platelets,the positive rate of PTA1 6.64% (24h) and 4.13% (48h) in PIH group is lower than before(P< 0.05). The PTA1 expression 8.11% (24h) and 4.28% (48h) in PIH group is much lower after blocking with PTA1/IgG than that before(P < 0.01 ). Conclusion There are some abnormal stimulated factors in PIH patients, which activate vascular endothelial cells. PTA1 plays an important role in the adhesion of platelets to vascular en- dothelial cells, PTA1 is closely related to the progress of PIH which indicates that PTA1 directly or indirectly takes part in the pathophysiologic consequences of PIH.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the value of Doppler indices of intrarenal artery (IRA) in clinicobservation in pregnancy induced hypertension(PIH).MethodsForty-six cases of PIH underwent Doppler measurment of PI,RI in IRA,and 186 normotensive pregnant women were measured as control.Results ①There was a larger increase of IRAPI and IRARI in PIH than in normal prgnant(P<0.001),and IRAPI is significantly higher in moderate and severe PIHs than in mild PIH(P<0.001),②IRAPI,IRARI correlate positively with classification of PIH(P<0.001),proteinuria(P<0.001)and MAP(P<0.05),and IRAPI is the best one.Conclusions It is of a certain significance to the clinical observation and treatment of PIH by using color Doppler to examine the indices of IRA in the pregnant women with PIH.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of endothelin (ET)、nitric oxide (NO) in plasma on retinopathy in the pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH). Methods The level of ET and NO in plasma of 75 cases of in-patient women with PIH and 20 cases of women with the full terms and normal pregnancy before and after delivery was determined by radioimmunoassay. The retinopathy of the patients with PIH before and after delivery was detected by appointed doctor. The levels of ET and NO in both groups were compared and the relationship between ET and NO in plasma and the retinopathy before and after the delivery was detected. Results The levels of ET [(145.00?54.41) ng/L] in serious PIH patients were much higher than that in the control [(81.50?43.80) ng/L], the minor [(85.30?33.33) ng/L] and middling PIH group [(90.20?39.25) ng/L]. The levels of ET in plasma before and after pregnancy were not changed in PIH patients [(118.70?33.44) ng/L], but were higher than that in the control group. The levels of plasma NO in serious [(87.56?35.58) ng/L] and middling [(78.11?28.96) ng/L] PIH group were both higher than that in the control group [(46.70?32.64) ng/L], and the levels in minor[(52.56?28.35) ng/L] and middling PIH group were lower than that in the serious PIH group. The level of NO in plasma of PIH patients after the delivery was much lower than that before the delivery, while higher than that in the control. The positive correlation between levels of ET and NO and retinopathy was found in PIH patients. Conclusions The levels of plasma ET and NO in PIH patients are related to the extent of the disease, and the level of ET in plasma is highly related to the retinopathy in PIH patients. ET and NO might be played an important role in pathogenesis of retinopathy and ET might be a good index in reflecting the rank of retinopathy in PIH.
