Predictive value of coagulation function, alpha-fetoprotein and placental growth factor in patients with perilous placenta previa.

Objective: To analyze the predictive value of coagulation function, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and placental growth factor (PIGF) for postpartum hemorrhage in patients with perilous placenta previa (PPP).

Methods: The clinical data of 104 PPP patients were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into a hemorrhage group (n=68) and a non-hemorrhage group (n=36).

Effect of daily physical activity on ambulatory blood pressure in pregnant women with chronic hypertension: A prospective cohort study protocol.

Background: Physical activity, a first-line approach for the treatment of non-gestational hypertension globally, has been shown to benefit most pregnant women in many respects. The benefits and risks of prenatal physical activity in complicated pregnancies, such as preeclampsia and chronic hypertension, require further investigation. It is worth conducting studies to address questions about physical activity during pregnancy in women with chronic hypertension, such as the benefits and risks, frequency, duration, and intensity.

The association between prepregnancy dietary fatty acids and risk of gestational diabetes mellitus: A prospective cohort study.

Background & Aims: Epidemiologic studies have examined the association between dietary fatty acids and type 2 diabetes risk in general populations. Evidence regarding their associations with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) risk remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate prepregnancy fatty acids intake in relation to GDM risk.

Association between hypoproteinaemia with massive proteinuria and small for gestational age in pre-eclampsia: a single-centre, retrospective cohort study using propensity score matching.

Objective: To investigate the association between hypoproteinaemia with massive proteinuria and the incidence of small for gestational age in pre-eclampsia.

Design: Retrospective cohort study using propensity score matching.

Setting: Northwest Women's and Children's Hospital in Shaanxi Province, China, using data from January 2016 to December 2021.

Caesarean-section delivery and caries risk of 3-year-old Chinese children: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: Caesarean-section (C-section) may influence children's long-term health by affecting bacterial colonization. However, few studies have focused on the association between C-section delivery (CSD) and dental caries, and previous conclusions have been conflicting. This study aimed to explore whether CSD would increase the risk of early childhood caries (ECC) in preschool children in China.

Effect of Dexmedetomidine on Cardiac Output among Parturient with Severe Preeclampsia after Cesarean Section.

This study was to investigate the hemodynamic effect of dexmedetomidine among parturient with severe preeclampsia after cesarean section. Parturient with severe preeclampsia were randomly allocated to receive dexmedetomidine (0.2-0.

Development of gestational diabetes mellitus in women with periodontitis in early pregnancy: A population-based clinical study.

Aim: This study aimed to determine whether periodontitis in early pregnancy and periodontal therapy during gestation affect the incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) through a population-based clinical study.

Materials And Methods: Subjects without periodontitis at 1-4 weeks of gestation who met our inclusion criteria were enrolled in the non-periodontitis group. Periodontitis patients who agreed or refused to receive periodontal therapy during pregnancy were separately enrolled in the periodontitis treated or untreated group.

lncRNA FAM99A is downregulated in preeclampsia and exerts a regulatory effect on trophoblast cell invasion, migration and apoptosis.

Preeclampsia (PE) is a complication of pregnancy, and a leading cause of maternal mortality and morbidity worldwide. Recently, the dysregulation of long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) has been reported to contribute to the pathogenesis and progression of PE. This study aimed to examine the alterations in the lncRNA family with sequence similarity 99 member A (FAM99A) in PE and its effects on trophoblasts.

Comparative study of titrated oral misoprostol solution and vaginal dinoprostone for labor induction at term pregnancy.

Objective: To evaluate effectiveness and safety of titrated oral misoprostol solution (OMS) in comparison with vaginal dinoprostone for cervix ripening and labor induction in term pregnant women.

Methods: A multicenter randomized controlled trial of women with term singleton pregnancy with indications for labor induction; 481 participants were allocated to receive titrated OMS with different doses by hourly administration according to the procedure or insert vaginal dinoprostone for cervix ripening and labor induction to compare maternal outcomes including indication of labor induction, mode of outcome of delivery, maternal morbidity, and neonatal outcomes between two groups for evaluating the efficacy and safety of titrated oral misoprostol induction.

Result: Proportion of delivery within 12 h of titrated oral misoprostol is significantly less than vaginal dinoprostone (p = 0.

miR-410 enhanced hESC-derived pancreatic endoderm transplant to alleviate gestational diabetes mellitus.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a condition commonly encountered during mid to late pregnancy with pathologic manifestations including hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, and fetal mal-development. The deficit and dysfunction of insulin secreting β-cells are signature symptoms for GDM. Pancreatic progenitors derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) were shown to be able to effectively treat diabetes in mice.

[Comparison of the effect of different diagnostic criteria of subclinical hypothyroidism and positive TPO-Ab on pregnancy outcomes].

Objective: To explore the effect of different diagnositic criteria of subclinical hypothyroidism using thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and positive thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPO-Ab) on the pregnancy outcomes.

Methods: 3 244 pregnant women who had their antenatal care and delivered in Child and Maternity Health Hospital of Shannxi Province August from 2011 to February 2013 were recruited prospectively. According to the standard of American Thyroid Association (ATA), pregnant women with normal serum free thyroxine (FT4) whose serum TSH level> 2.

[Relationship between the expression of human leukocyte antigen G and preeclampsia].

Objectives: To detect the expression of human leukocyte antigen-G (HLA-G) in tissues from pregnant women with preeclampsia and discuss the relationship between HLA-G and preeclampsia.

Methods: Pregnant women with preeclampsia in Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Shaanxi Province from March 2009 to December 2009 were included. Eight were included into mild preeclampsia groups and 22 were included into severe preeclampsia group.
