ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the levels of serum complement C 1q, C3, C4 and factor B in different phases during normal pregnancy;To evaluate the diagnostic value and the predictive value of serum complement C1q, C3, C4 and factor B in preeclampsia (PE).Methods Three groups of subjectes were enrolled from January 2017 to March 2018 in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology , Peking University Third Hospital.(1) 30 pregnant women in each group at 8-14 weeks, 20-26 weeks and 28-36 weeks were retrospectively selected , and the serum levels of complement C 1q, C3, C4 and B factors were measured and compared.(2)Selecting 17 cases of early-onset mild PE, 47 cases of early-onset severe PE, 24 cases of late-onset mild PE, 27 cases of late-onset severe PE, and 30 normal pregnant cases of the same gestational stage as early-onset /late-onset controls , through ANOVA analysis and comparison between two groups , this study evaluated the diagnostic value of serum complement C 1q, C3, C4 and factor B in PE.(3)To evaluate the predictive effect in PE, it analyzed serum C1q and factor B levels of pregnant women at 20-26 gestation weeks through prospective nested case-control study of 214 cases.Results The levels of serum C1q remained stable in the whole pregnancy .The levels of C3 and factor B increased at the early stage of pregnancy and remained stable after the middle stage .C4 increased early in pregnancy and then remained stable.Compared with the control group , the levels of serum C1q in all four types of PE patients were significantly decreased ( median 169 mg/L, 161 mg/L, 165 mg/L, 163 mg/L;early-onset, late-onset control group187 mg/L, 194 mg/L;U=130.500, 426.500, 159.500, 130.500, all P<0.05).Serum C3 levels of all the other three types of PE patients were significantly lower than those of the control groups (median1170 mg/L, 1323 mg/L, 1223 mg/L;early-onset, late-onset control groups 1438 mg/L, 1434 mg/L;U =379.000, 246.000, 160.000, all P <0.05 ), except for the early-onset mild PE (1275 mg/L).Serum C4 levels of patients with early/late onset severe PE were significantly lower than those of the control groups ( median 140 mg/L, 142 mg/L;early-onset, late-onset control groups223 mg/L, 235 mg/L;U =329.500, 136.500, both P <0.001 ) .Serum factor B levels showed no statistical difference among 3 early on-set groups or among 3 late on-set groups ( early-onset group median332 mg/L,318 mg/L,early-onset control group 312 mg/L;late-onset group median316 mg/L,314 mg/L, late-onset group 303 mg/L;χ2 =5.990, 1.77, all P>0.05).33 (15.4%) cases developed PE out of 214 pregnant women with PE risk factors .Compared to those who didn′t develop PE , it showed no statistical difference of serum C1q, C3, C4, and factor B levels at 20-26 gestational weeks of the women who subsequently developed PE ( C1q175 mg/L vs.184 mg/L; C31523 mg/L vs.1467 mg/L; C4230 mg/L vs.229 mg/L;FB344 mg/L vs.320 mg/L;U=2090.000, 1575.000, 2058.500, 1362.000, all P>0.05).Compared to those of the healthy pregnant controls , it showed no statistical difference of serum C1q, C3 and C4 levels of 20-26 gestational weeks of the women who subsequently developed PE (C1q175 mg/L vs.190 mg/L; C31523 mg/L vs.1428 mg/L; C4230 mg/L vs.227 mg/L; U=353.000, 395.000, 493.500, all P >0.05),while it showed statistical difference (344 mg/L vs.306 mg/L;U=233.500, P=0.007) for factor B.Conclusions Serum C1q level of PE patients significantly decreased, which can be used as potential indicators of PE diagnosis , but serum C1q, C3, C4 level of 20-26 gestational weeks cannot predict risk of PE .Factor B cannot serve as serum index of PE diagnosis , but its serum levels at 20-26 gestational weeks werer higher than those of normal pregnant controls , factor B may be a potential predictor , but need further verification .
