The purpose of this study was to find the alteration of PFCa 2+ in normal pregnancy, to provide scientific basis for forecasting and preventing PIH (pregnancy induced hypertension). The results showed that the PFCa 2+ concentration was stable and slightly increased with the progression of gestational weeks.展开更多

Nitric oxide and Corticotrophin Releasing Hormone has an important role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia to determine differences in concentrations of NO and CRH in normal pregnancy and preeclampsia, as well as to study the correlation both on the incidence of preeclampsia. This is a cross sectional study. Blood samples obtained from patients with preeclampsia (30 samples) and normal pregnancies as controls (30 samples) in accordance with inclusion and exclusion criteria. NO concentration was examined with essay protocol, and CRH concentrations with ELISA method. Then be calculated by statistical analysis: chi square, t test, Mann-Whitney, and Spearman Rank correlation coefficient. Based on statistical analysis, there was no significant difference (p > 0.05) from the characteristics of maternal age, pregnancy weeks, and parity in both study groups, so the two groups of homogeneous and comparable. The mean concentration of NO in preeclampsia was lower (3.780 μM) compared with normal pregnancy (13.360 μM). There was significant correlation between NO and CRH concentrations in normal pregnancy and preeclampsia (p < 0.001). The involvement of NO/c-GMP pathway is very possible in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia.展开更多

The plasma EDLS level increases in response to fluid or salt loading. EDLS may play a role in salt and blood pressure regulation. Being considered as a volume-expanding state, pregnancy may cause an increase in maternal EDLS. However, further studies to identify the origin of EDLS in normal pregnancy are needed.展开更多
