RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the relationship between prenatal D-dimer level and preeclampsia complicated with postpartum hemorrhage (PPH).Methods:The clinical data of 340 preeclampsia pregnant women in Hechi People′s Hospital from January 2016 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether PPH occurred, they were divided into preeclampsia complicated with PPH group (PPH group, 57 cases) and uncomplicated PPH group(non PPH group, 283 cases). The general clinical data, blood routine and coagulation function parameters before delivery of the two groups were analyzed, and the differences between the two groups were compared. Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the relationship between prenatal D-dimer level and preeclampsia complicated with PPH. Meanwhile, the influence of D-dimer level on the occurrence of PPH in preeclampsia patients was quantified. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive value of D-dimer level on preeclampsia complicated with PPH.Results:Compared with non-PPH group, PPH group had higher white blood cell counting and D-dimer levels ( P<0.05), and lower levels of platelet count and fibrinogen (all P<0.05); there were no significant difference in the levels of hemoglobin and activated partial thrombin time (APTT) between the two groups (all P>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that elevated D-dimer level was an independent risk factor for PPH in preeclampsia patients ( OR=1.150, 95% CI: 1.076-1.230, P<0.001). When D-dimer≥2.16 μg/ml, the risk of PPH in preeclampsia patients increased by 2.804 times ( OR=3.904, 95% CI: 1.705-8.939, P=0.001). In patients who delivered three times or more, D-dimer predicted the occurrence of PPH with an AUC of 0.851, specificity of 60.78%, and sensitivity of 100%. Conclusions:Elevate D-dimer level is an independent risk factor for preeclampsia complicated with PPH. When the D-dimer level increased by 1 unit, the risk of PPH in preeclampsia patients increased by 0.15 times. D-dimer has a high predictive value for the occurrence of PPH in preeclampsia patients who delivered three times or more.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the influencing factors and to build a model for predicting successful labor induction with cervical ripening balloon (CRB) in primipara.Methods:312 cases of primipara in late trimester of pregnancy induced by CRB between January 2018 and April 2019 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Shenzhen University were reviewed retrospectively. Factors including gravidity, age, body height, body weight, body mass index (BMI), the cervical Bishop score, neonatal birth weight, pregnant complication and other factors were collected to analyze the effect on successful labor induction.Results:Pregnancy times, cervical Bishop score and height in primipara were positively correlated with the success rate of induced labor, while BMI and neonatal weight were negatively correlated with the success rate of induced labor. The area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was 0.849 and diagnostic threshold was 0.725, with a sensitivity of 80.7% and a specificity of 75.7%.Conclusions:Among the primipara, the gravidity and cervical Bishop score are the most significant factors influencing the successful labor induction. These factors can be used as the predictive indexes for the outcome of labor induction along with pregnancy times, height, BMI and neonatal birth weight, which is beneficial to reduce the artificial interventions and improve the success rate of labor induction.

RESUMO
Objective To investigate the relationship between vitamin A and vitamin E concentra-tions and preeclampsia. Methods A total of 160 pregnant women who were finished normal perinatal care and tested for serum vitamin A and vitamin E concentrations in the First Affiliated Hospital of Shenzhen Uni-versity (Shenzhen Second People's Hospital) from March 1, 2018 to February 28, 2019, including 80 pre-eclampsia cases and 80 healthy control cases were enrolled in the study. The concentrations of serum vita-mins A and E in early pregnancy ( <14 weeks) and late pregnancy (≥34 weeks) were determined by high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. The collected clinical and test data were sta-tistically analyzed. Results ⑴There was no significant difference in vitamin A concentration between pre-eclampsia group and control group during early pregnancy (P=0. 360) and there was no significant differ-ence in vitamin A concentration between preeclampsia group and control group during late pregnancy ( P=0. 450). ⑵ The concentration of vitamin E in early pregnant women in preeclampsia group was [(9. 51 ± 2. 82)mg/L], which was lower than that in healthy control group [(11. 19 ± 3. 04)mg/L], with significant statistically difference (t=8. 85, P=0. 01); the vitamin E concentration in late pregnant women in pre-eclampsia group was [(13. 52 ± 4. 40)mg/L], which was lower than that in healthy control group [(16. 20 ± 5. 00)mg/L], with significant statistically difference (t=10. 9, P=0. 01). ⑶Logistic regression anal-ysis showed that there was a correlation between vitamin E concentration in early pregnancy and late preg-nancy and preeclampsia. Conclusions There was no significant correlation between vitamin A concentra-tion and preeclampsia. Vitamin E may be involved in the pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia.
RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To assess the accuracy of copy number variations (CNVs) detection by non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) in addition to its routine targets and clinical significance of such CNVs for the reduction of fetuses born with chromosomal microdeletion/duplication syndromes.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From October 2014 to October 2015, 14 235 pregnant women volunteered to participate in the study. Fifteen cases detected with chromosomal CNVs by the NIPT decided to undergo prenatal diagnostic procedures including amniocentesis, G-banded karyotyping and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA). All such cases were routinely followed up after birth.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Among the 14 235 subjects underwent NIPT, 18 cases were detected with Down syndrome, 4 with trisomy 18, and 2 with trisomy 13, in addition with 24 cases of CNVs. For the latter, 15 (including 11 cases with microdeletions and 4 cases with microduplications) participated in further prenatal diagnosis. In 13 cases (86.7%), the results of CMA were consistent with those of NIPT. On the other hand, only 7 out of the 15 cases showed a positive result with karyotyping, suggesting a rather high rate of missed diagnosis (46.2%). Of note, karyotyping has identified partial inversion of chromosome 9 in one case.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>As a screening tool, NIPT has a high accuracy for the detection of CNVs. However, as this method is still under improvement, it is more of a reminder rather than a diagnostic tool with full capability.</p>

Objective To investigate the feasibility, safety and technical superiority of mechanical thrombectomy using a direct aspiration first-pass thrombectomy (ADAPT) in treatment of patients with acute cerebral artery occlusion. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on all patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with mechanical thrombectomy in our institution from January 2013 to August 2016.Patients using ADAPT or stent retriever as a first-line endovascular procedure were compared for clinical characteristics, procedural variables and clinical outcomes. The technical superiority of ADAPT was analyzed in depth. Results During observation period, a total of 91 cases were performed endovascular treatment with mechanical thrombectomy. ADAPT was designed in 46 cases as a first-line endovascular procedure and was utilized in 38 cases (82.6%;ADAPT group), while primary stent retriever thrombectomy was performed in 21 patients(stent group). There was no significant difference in baseline clinical or radiographic factors between ADAPT and stent groups. Although rates of good neurological outcome (modified Rankin Scale(mRS) score≤2) at 90 days were similar between the ADAPT and stent groups (61%(23/38) vs 48%(10/21), P=0.247), National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at seven days (6.0(2.0, 9.3) vs 9.0(5.5, 18.5),Z=-2.031,P=0.021) and full recovery rate of neurological outcome (mRS score=0, 37%(14/38) vs 10%(2/21), P=0.022) were significantly better in the ADAPT group than in the stent group. There were no significant differences in rates of embolus to new territory (21%(8/38) vs 29%(6/21), P=0.365), Thrombolysis In Cerebral Infarction (TICI) 2b/3 grade revascularization (84%(32/38) vs 81%(17/21), P=0.507) and symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (0%(0/38) vs 10%(2/21), P=0.123) between the ADAPT and the stent groups, but the figures were better in the ADAPT group. Conclusions Mechanical thrombectomy using ADAPT is feasible and safe compared with stent retriever, with higher full recovery rate of neurological outcome and better NIHSS score.It is a method worthy of further exploration for endovascular mechanical recanalization.

Objective To analyze the perioperative risk factors of postoperative complications after posterior lumbar fusion operation.Methods The clinical data of 654 patients with posterior lumbar fusion during 2010 and 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.Using x2 test and one-way ANOVA,the predicted risk factors were screened for further Logistic regression.Results The total complication rate was 11.6% among all 654 patients.The major complications included cardiac infarction,deep infection,sepsis,neurological impairment,and secondary operation.And the minor complications included wound dehiscence,urinary tract infection,pulmonary infection,gastrointestinal bleeding,CSF leakage and others.According to x2 test and one-way ANOVA,renal function insufficiency,preoperative neurological injury,ASA higher than Ⅲ level,intraoperative blood loss,long operation length,and usage of autogenous bone were screened as risk factors of complications.Renal function insufficiency,preoperative neurological injury,intraoperative blood loss,and long operation length were screened as risk factors of minor complications.And male,renal function insufficiency,preoperative neurological injury,intervertebral fusion,and posteriolateral fusion were screened as risk factors of major complications.However,according to Logistic regression,the independent risk factor of complications were preoperative neurological injury and long operation length;independent risk factors of minor complications were renal function insufficiency,preoperative neurological injury and long operation length;and independent risk factor of major complications was preoperative neurological injury.Conclusion Preoperative neurological injury,renal function insufficiency and long operation length are proved to be the risk factors of postoperative complication in lumbar fusion surgery.
RESUMO
Objective To detect the transferred vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)165 gene expression in rhesus autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and to explore the functional viability of transgenic MSCs. Methods MSCs from rhesus bone were isolated by Ficoll, which were used to detect the phenotype. After the culturing, the expression vector pcDNA-eGFP-VEGF165 was transfected into bone marrow MSCs. Fluorescence microscope and flow cytometry were used to detect the enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) expression. At the same time, the phenotype in transfected MSCs was also indentified. The VEGF165 expression level was detected by RT-PCR. Results The highly purified MSCs were collected successfully. The transfected MSCs and daughter cells showed expressions of eGFP and VEGF165, which also remained the characteristics of MSCs. Conclusion The VEGF165 gene that is transfected into MSCs can maintain characteristics of MSCs, and stably express foreign genes.
RESUMO
In the process of liver fibrosis, transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) is considered an important regulatory factor for the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and extracellular matrix production. Therefore, the therapeutic strategies targeted at the activation of HSCs and liver fibrosis induced by TGFβ are worthy of further research. This article reviews the role of TGFβ in the activation of HSCs, the regulatory effect of TGFβ, and the therapeutic strategies targeted at the activation of HSCs induced by TGFβ, so as to provide a theoretical basis and new thoughts for the clinical treatment of liver fibrosis.
RESUMO
Background and purpose: The proportion of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension (PHT) is high. PHT may increase the risk of hemorrhage and liver failure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efifcacy of liver resection (LR) for patients with HCC and PHT. Methods:From 2006 to 2010, a total of 564 HCC patients with Child-Pugh A liver function and with (78) or without PHT (486) were retrospective analyzed. Complications after surgry, 30 and 90-day mortality, overall survival (OS), and recurrence rates were compared between the two groups. Propensity score analysis was also conducted to reduce confounding bias between the groups. Moreover, subgroup analysis based on tumor stage and the range of resection was carried out. Results:The complications after surgry, 30 and 90-day mortality of patients with PHT were signiifcantly higher than those without PHT, before and after propensity analysis (P0.05). Conclusion: PHT is not the contraindication of LR for patients with HCC. Those with early stage HCC and who underwent minor hepatectomy are the best candidates to LR therapy.
