Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about in health conditions. The main questions it aims to answer are: - The pathological significance of GPER in uterine artery dilation in preeclampsia - The Mechanism of GPER Hippo Pathway Regulating CBS/H2S in Human Uterine Artery Smooth Muscle Cells (hUASMC) This project intends to use GPER interfering RNA, YAP1 interfering RNA, in vivo perfusion experiments of human uterine artery tissue, and single cell patch clamp technology to study hypotheses under physiological/pathological pregnancy conditions at the tissue, cellular, and molecular levels, revealing a novel signal transduction pathway of estrogen stimulating vasodilation, providing new ideas for studying the mechanism of uterine artery blood flow regulation. This research result will provide new targets for intervention and treatment of diseases such as fetal intrauterine growth retardation and preeclampsia.
Preeclampsia is the main cause of increased maternal and perinatal mortality during pregnancy. Preeclampsia is mainly manifested as hypertension, urine protein, or damage symptoms of other target organs after 20 weeks of pregnancy. In preeclampsia high-risk group, early intervention and prevention of aspirin treatment can reduce preeclampsia or reduce its complications. Some serological biomarkers, such as placental protein 13 and placental growth factor, are closely related to preeclampsia. The clinical manifestations of preeclampsia are diverse, and the biomarkers distribution of early and late preeclampsia is also different. Multivariate models will be the trend for the prediction of risk of preeclampsia. The deep learning model can train the algorithm layer by layer by unsupervised learning method, and then use the supervised back propagation algorithm for tuning. It has strong capability and flexibility, and has been successfully applied in medical fields, such as the diagnosis of skin cancer. In this study, maternal clinical data, routine laboratory indicators and biological markers in early pregnancy will be combined, and a deep learning method based on multiple models will be adopted to establish a risk prediction model for early preeclampsia, so as to improve the clinical ability for early diagnosis of preeclampsia. The deep learning method reduces the number of parameters by using spatial relative relation, which can improve the prediction ability of the model. Multi-model method is a less commonly used modeling method, and the models established by this method generally have better stability. This project combines the above two methods to establish a risk prediction model for preeclampsia, and the research is of great significance.
Preeclampsia (PE) is a morbid and potentially lethal complication of pregnancy and is more common in women with specific risk factors. Aspirin (ASA) is currently the only prophylactic therapy for preeclampsia in high-risk women to be recognized by the US Preventive Task Force and should be initiated early in the second trimester of pregnancy, before 16 weeks of gestation. However, currently there is no literature comparing various low-dose ASA formulations in the risk reduction of PE. In the United States, the currently available low-dose ASA is over the counter and is found in 81mg tablets. Therefore, when clinicians initiate therapy with low dose ASA, they may prescribe 1 or 2 tablets of 81mg aspirin per day depending on personal preference and cannot be assisted by evidence to guide their decision.This study aims to determine the incidence of preterm PE or PE with severe features in women taking either 81mg or 162mg in a randomized setting, from a single center. The investigators hypothesize that the information gained from this trial will permit a more accurate sample size calculation for a larger clinical trial powered to accept or reject our testing hypothesis. If our hypothesis is rejected and 162mg of daily ASA is not associated with a lower incidence of severe or preterm PE compared to 81mg, this may be due to lack of power to detect a smaller effect. The investigators would then evaluate the feasibility and results and determine whether a larger trial is reasonable.
Preeclampsia (PE) is one of a common type of hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy (HDCP). It is a class of clinical syndromes which shows relevant symptoms, hypertension and proteinuria after 20 weeks pregnant as main characteristic, and may accompany with fetal anomaly and systemic multi-system organs damage. Several complications, such as eclamptic seizures, coma, intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), cardiac failure, pneumonedema, hepatic failure, kidney failure, placental abruption and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), may be threat to the life of the mother as well as fetal. Thus, the disease is one of the core issues that cause the maternal and perinatal death. Morbidity of PE is approximately 3% to 5%. Morbidity has significant differences between different populations. According to the data, from 1995 to 2004, HDCP morbidity in four hospitals in Guangzhou was 5.78%, and in the HDCP, mild preeclampsia and severe preeclampsia were accounted for 72.22% and 27.78% respectively. Meanwhile, HDCP morbidity decreased from 9.4% (1984 to 1989) to 5.57% (1989 to 1998). In 1996, the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) gave new classification of HDCP based on the characteristic of disease symptoms, divide into five groups; gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, eclampsia, chronic hypertension complicated with preeclampsia and chronic hypertension. The pathogenesis of PE remains unclear so far. The frequent sight is that PE caused by multiple reactions by a number of factors affect. Physiologically, mainly altered of PE is increased blood viscosity and systemic vascular spasm which cause hypoxic-ischemic of multiple key organs, such as the placenta, kidney, liver and brain. The research theory includes abnormal trophoblast invasion, immune response abnormal or increase, genetic susceptibility, coagulation disorders or thrombophilia, abnormal angiogenesis, endothelial cell damage, abnormal levels of carbonic oxide, increase of oxygen radical, abnormal metabolism of calcium ion, heterotrophia and so on. However, there are numbers of epidemiologic study have analyzed high risk factor of PE which provides significant medical evidence of prevention, early diagnosis and early treatment for PE, there is only little study focus on susceptibility gene and pathogenic genetic variation. Nowadays, there are numerous clinical phenotype are considered to exist, different phenotype gives different inheritance and epigenetics. Thus, the investigator's group will examine the onset of type and characteristics of PE by a retrospective cohort study to discuss if susceptibility gene and pathogenic genetic variation were existing in PE patients, also to find the relativity between clinical phenotype and genotype. Moreover, this study is trying to reach the effect of PE on the patients' health as well as their children. Thus, can predict the health status of PE patients and their children, and so can prevent (avoid or delay) of the patients from late complications and disease in their children.
