The aim of this study is to establish the expression of ATP-sensitive potassium channels(KATP) in human umbilical arteries with severe pre-eclampsia. Real-time quantitative PCR and western blotting were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression levels of KATP channel subunits Kir6.1 and SUR2B in human umbilical arteries from normal pregnant and those with severe pre-eclampsia, early onset severe pre-eclampsia and late onset severe pre-eclampsia. The mRNA and protein levels of SUR2B in the severe pre-eclampsia group were lower than those in the normal group (P < 0.001), and the expression of Kir6.1 was not statistically significant between the two groups (P > 0.05). The mRNA and protein levels of SUR2B in early onset severe pre-eclampsia group were lower than those in late onset severe pre-eclampsia group (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in expression of Kir6.1 between the two groups (P > 0.05). The mRNA and protein expression levels of SUR2B in pregnant women with severe pre-eclampsia were lower than those in normal pregnant women, suggesting that the expression of the SUR2B of the KATP channel may be related to the occurrence and development of severe pre-eclampsia. Compared with late onset severe pre-eclampsia, the mRNA and protein expression levels of SUR2B were lower in the umbilical arteries of women with early onset severe pre-eclampsia, suggesting that the occurrence time of severe pre-eclampsia may be related to the extent reduced expression of the SUR2B of the KATP channel.

Background: Preeclampsia is a rapidly progressing pregnancy-specific multi-systemic syndrome that is the leading cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is a valuable and potential biomarker for predicting the severity of Preeclampsia.
Objectives: To assess the level of LDH in women with preeclampsia and to correlate its level with the severity of the disease and maternal/perinatal outcomes.

Objective: This study aims to identify initial clinical and echocardiographic markers in preterm infants which may predict failure of medical therapy to close a high-risk patent ductus arteriosus (PDA).
Study Design: This was an observational cohort study conducted in a level III NICU. Infants born <29 weeks gestation were treated with medical therapy if they were deemed high-risk as per the EL-Khuffash PDA Severity Score (PDAsc).

Objective: To evaluate the effect of timing of antenatal steroids (ANS) administration and its interaction with pre-eclampsia (PE) on respiratory outcome among infants born preterm.
Study Design: This was an analysis of a prospective, single-center cohort of infants born between 23 to 30 weeks of gestation between 2012 through 2021. Endpoints were severe RDS (sRDS) and moderate-severe BPD (msBPD).

Background: Heart transplant recipients (HTRs) during pregnancy are at greater risk for maternal and obstetrical complications and hypertensive disease of pregnancy exacerbates these risks. The impact of preeclampsia on HTRs is unknown.
Objectives: The authors describe characteristics of HTRs who developed preeclampsia and the effect of preeclampsia on graft and pregnancy outcomes.
