The Changes of Umbilical Artery and Amniotic Fluid Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Level in Newborn Infants with Asphyxia / 中华围产医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the clinical significance of changes of umbilical artery and amniotic fluid vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) level in newborn infants with asphyxia. Methods The VEGF levels in umbilical artery and amniotic fluid were detected by ELSIA in 67 newborn infants with asphyxia (asphyxia group) and 44 normal term newborn infants (control group). Results The VEGF level of umbilical artery ( 674?150) ng/L and amniotic fluid (225?78) ng/L in asphyxia groups were significantly higher than that of umbilical artery (129?30) ng/L and amniotic fluid (57?4) ng/L in control group ( P
