To explore the effects of aspirin on the apoptosis induced by hypoxia of human HTR-8/SVneo trophoblast cells,  the expressions of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase receptor-1 (sFlt), and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α) in the cells. Methods: The human HTR-8/SVneo trophoblasts cells were divided into normal control group and hypoxia model group (the cells were given 2% O2, 5% CO2, and 93% N2). The cells in the two groups were treated by low-dose aspirin (0.05 mmol/L), medium-dose aspirin (0.1 mmol/L), or high-dose aspirin (0.2 mmol/L). After culture, MTT method was used to measure the cell viability, flow cytometry was used to measure cell apoptosis level and cell cycle, serum medium Matrigel culture was used to measure the cell angiogenesis ability, and the levels of sFlt-1 and HIF-1α in cells were detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting method. Results: The OD value, the survival rate, the angiogenesis ability, and the HIF-1α mRNA and protein expressions of the cells in the hypoxia model group were significantly lower than those of the cells in the normal control group, and which of the cells after treated by low aspirin, medium-dose, and high-dose of aspirin had decrease gradudally. The apoptosis rate, the G1 phase rate, and the sFlt-1 mRNA and protein expressions of the cells in the hypoxia model group were significantly higher than those of the cells in the normal control group, and  which of the cells after treated by low aspirin, medium-dose, and high-dose of aspirin had increase gradudally (all P<0.05). Conclusion: The low dose of aspirin can promote the proliferation, angiogenesis, and inhibit apoptosis of HTR-8/SVneo cells under hypoxia. The mechanism is related to the low dose of aspirin inhibiting the expression of sFlt-1 and promoting the expression of HIF-1αof the HTR-8/SVneo cells under hypoxia.

To investigate the mode of delivery mode of pregnant women after previous cesarean section, and to analyze the influencing factors of the delivery mode. Methods: The clinical data of 496 women with pregnancy again after cesarean section from January 2016 to June 2022 were collected retrospectively. These pregnant women were divided into group A (women terminated pregnancy by vaginal delivery) and group B (women terminated pregnancy by cesarean section again) according to the delivery mode. The clinical indicators of the women were compared between the two groups, and the influence of the clinical indicators on their delivery mode was analyzed. Results: Among 496 pregnant women, 141 (28.4%) cases tried to vaginal delivery, and 114 cases had successful vaginal delivery, with the success rate of 80.9%, and the left 27 women converted to cesarean section. There were 382 (77.0%) cases delivered by cesarean section. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the initial intention of vaginal delivery, the history of natural delivery, and the uterine orifice opening >3cm when admission of hospital of the women were the favorable factors of their vaginal delivery, while the high prenatal body mass index (>30kg/m2), the pregnancy complications, the fetal position, and the fetal heart abnormalities of the women were the unfavorable factors of their vaginal delivery (all P<0.05). The 1 min Apgar score (9.3±0.3 points) of the newborn after vaginal delivery was significantly higher than that (9.0±0.3 points) of the newborn after cesarean section (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the delivery outcomes, the birth weight of newborns, and the neonatal asphyxia rate between the women after vaginal delivery and the women after cesarean section (P>0.05). Conclusion: In this survey, the caesarean section is the main delivery mode of the pregnant women after previous cesarean section. The degree of uterine orifice opening when admission of hospital, the history of natural delivery, the initial intention of vaginal delivery, the high prenatal body mass index, the complication of pregnancy, the fetal heart, and the fetal position of the women are all the factors affecting their vaginal delivery. So, the reasonable delivery mode should be chosen for the pregnant women according to the specific condition of each pregnant women in clinical obstetrics practice.

To investigate the influencing factors of the compliance of women with postpartum stress urinary incontinence (PSUI) for the pelvic floor muscle functional exercise. Methods: 162 women with PSUI who visited the doctor were selected by convenient sampling from May 2021 to May 2022. The questionnaires of general data and pelvic floor muscle functional exercise compliance, and Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the Chinese version of broome pelvic muscle self-efficacy scale (BPMSES) were used for survey. Pearson correlation coefficient model was used to analyze the correlation between the compliance of the pelvic floor muscle functional exercise of the women with PSUI and their EPDS, PSQI, BPMSES scores. Multiple linear regression model was used to explore the factors related to the compliance of the pelvic floor muscle functional exercise of the women with PSUI. Results: A total of 162 questionnaires were distributed in this study, and 156 valid questionnaires were returned, with an effective recovery rate of 96.3%. The scores of the compliance questionnaire of the pelvic floor muscle exercise, the EPDS score, the PSQI score, and the BPMSES score of the women were 9.62±3.89 points, 7.24±2.85 points, 5.51±2.04 points, and 52.03±18.41 points, respectively. There was statistically significant difference in the score of the compliance of the pelvic floor muscle functional exercise among the women with different education levels, among the women with different family per capita monthly income, among the women with different cognition of the importance of maintaining pelvic floor muscle functional exercise, among the women with different current situation of urine leakage, or among the women with different support status by spouse (P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the compliance score of the pelvic floor muscle functional exercise of the women with PSUI was negatively correlated with their EPDS score and PSQI score and was positively correlated with their BPMSES score (all P<0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the cognition of the importance of maintaining pelvic floor muscle function exercise, the current urine leakage, the poor support by spouse, and the scores of EPDS, PSQI, and BPMSES were all the influencing factors of the compliance of the pelvic floor muscle function exercise of the women with PSUI. Conclusion: There are many factors affecting the compliance of the pelvic floor muscle function exercise of the women with PSUI, so which should be paid more attention to by the medical staff,and the targeted intervention should be conducted.

Methods: 60 patients who were scheduled to have painless abortion in the hospital were enrolled and were divided into group A (20 patients with 5 mg of remimazolam tosylate combined with sufentanil for analgesia and sedation), group B (20 patients with 7 mg of remimazolam tosylate combined with sufentanil for analgesia and sedation), and group C (20 patients with 8 mg of remimazolam tosylate combined with sufentanil for analgesia and sedation) according to the random number table method between June 2020 and December 2020. The perioperative indicators, the stress reaction indicators, such as heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), respiratory rate (RR), and oxygen saturation (SpO2), the analgesia and sedation effect, such as modified observer’s assessment of alertness/sedation (MOAA/S), the pain degree by visual analogue scale (VAS), and the occurrence of adverse reactions of the patients at different time points were compared among the three groups. Results: There were no significant differences in the operation time and the hospital stay of the patients among the three groups (P>0.05). The awakening time (8.0±1.2 min), the total dose of remimazolam tosylate (13.1±1.6 mg), and the times of supplemental remimazolam tosylate (3.2±0.9 times) of the patients in group A were significantly higher than those (7.1±1.3 min, 11.2±1.4 mg, and 1.7±0.5 times) of the patients in group B and those (7.1±1.3 min, 11.6±1.4 mg, and 1.5±0.5 times) of the patients in group C (P<0.05). The valus of HR, MAP, RR, and SpO2 of the patients in the three groups at T1 and T2 were significantly lower than those at T0 (P<0.05). The MOAA/S score of the patients in the three groups had decreased gradually with the prolonging of the drugs administration, and which of the patients in group A, group B, and group C at each time point had decreased gradually (all P<0.05). The VAS scores of the patients in the three groups had decreased gradually with the prolonging of the awakening time (all P<0.05), but which of the patients had no significant differences among the three groups. There was no significant difference the incidence of the adverse reactions (10.0% vs.5.0% vs. 5.0%) of the patients among the three groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: 7 mg remimazolam tosylate combined with initial sufentanil administration during painless abortion of the patients has definite anesthesia effect and has complete analgesia, and which has rapid postoperative awakening, with safety and effectiveness.

 To explore the prevention of postoperative complications of the perioperative blood volume management for patients with early missed abortion after painless induced abortion. Methods: 158 patients with early missed abortion who wanted painless induced abortion were selected and were randomly divided into observation group (n=79) and control group (n=79) by random number table method from November 2020 to November 2021. The patients in the two groups were anesthetized with remifentanil injection combined with propofol, and the patients in the observation group were pretreated with blood volume expansion before anesthesia additionally. The operation time, the intraoperative blood loss, the propofol dosage, the levels of hemodynamic indexes and the pain score of visual analogue scale (VAS) at different time point before and after anesthesia, the changes of the levels of sex hormone indexes before and 3 months after operation, and the occurrences of adverse reactions and complications of the patients in the two groups were observed. Results: The propofol dosage of the patients in the observation group was significantly lower than that of the patients in the control group, the MAP value of the patients in the observation group at 5min after anesthesia was significantly higher than that of the patients in the control group, and the HR value of the patients in the observation group at 1min, 5min, or 10min after anesthesia was significantly lower than that of the patients in the control group. The VAS scores of the patients in the observation group at 6h, 12h, and 24h after operation were significantly lower than those of the patients in the control group. The levels of luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone of the patients in the observation group at 3 months after operation were significantly higher than those of the patients in the control group, while the levels of the estradiol and anti-Muller's hormone of the patients in the observation group were significantly lower. The incidences of the decreased blood pressure (15.2%), the increased heart (20.3%), the dizziness (10.1%), the nausea and vomiting (0) of the patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those (46.8%, 54.4%, 38.0%, and 10.1%) of the patients in the control group. In 3 months after operation, the total complication rate (5.1%) of the patients in the observation group was significantly lower than that (20.3%) of the patients in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: The perioperative blood volume management of painless induced abortion of the patients with early missed abortion can effectively reduce the dosage of anesthetics, stabilize the hemodynamics, reduce the operative pain and the reproductive function damage of the patients, and can decrease the incidences of adverse reactions and complications.

To explore the influence of misoprostol combined with lidocaine used in the intrauterine device (IUD) removal of menopausal women on their operation time, the pain degree, and the success rate of IUD removal. Methods: A total of 92 menopausal women who wanted IUD removal in the hospital were enrolled and were randomly divided into group A (46 women with misoprostol combined with lidocaine used during IUD removal) and group B (46 women with misoprostol used alone during IUD removal) between January 2020 and January 2022. The intraoperative conditions (operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and intraoperative pain), the degree of cervical softening, the success rate of IUD removal, and the medication safety of the women were compared between the two groups. Results: The operative time (4.93±0.87 min), the intraoperative blood loss (3.62±0.65 ml), and the intraoperative pain visual analog score (1.99±0.43 points) of the women in group A were all significantly lower than those (7.54±1.02 min, 7.01±1.10 ml, and 5.17±0.90 points) of the women in group B. The rate of successful cervical softening (93.5%) and the success rate of IUD removal (97.8%) of the women in group A were significantly higher than those (78.3% and 87.0%) of the women in group B (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse drug reaction (10.9% vs. 6.5%) of the women between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: The application of misoprostol combined with lidocaine for IUD removal of the menopausal women can improve their cervical softening, reduce their intraoperative blood loss, shorten their operation time, increase their success rate of IUD removal, and can greatly relieve their intraoperative pain, with better safety.

To explore the D-dimer/platelet (DPR) value and the angiogenesis inhibitory protein 1 (VASH-1) level of women after medical abortion, and its predictive value for the abnormal uterine bleeding of the women. Methods: A total of 123 pregnant women who wanted medical abortion were selected and were divided into group A (21 cases with abnormal uterine bleeding) and group B (102 cases without abnormal uterine bleeding) according to the situation of uterine bleeding from March 2019 to March 2022. The levels of the plasma D-dimer and platelets, and the serum VASH-1 of the women before abortion in the two groups were detected, and their DPR was calculated. The predictive value of the DPR and the VASH-1 level of the women after abortion for their abnormal uterine bleeding were evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). The related factors of the abnormal uterine bleeding of the women were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression. Results: The DPR (0.85±0.31×10-11 mg) and the VASH-1 level (567.32±84.15 ng/L) of the women in group A were significantly higher than those (0.57±0.24×10-11 mg and 319.64±68.53ng/L) of the women in group B (P<0.05). There were significant differences in the abortion history, and the fibrinogen, D-dimer, and platelet levels of the women between the two groups (P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of the DPR and the VASH-1 level for diagnosing abnormal uterine bleeding of the women after medical abortion were 0.852 and 0.809, the cut-off values of which were 0.71×10-11 mg and 323.48ng/L, the specificity of which were 62.2% and 53.6%, and the sensitivity of which was 93.5% and 93.5%. The AUC, the specificity, and the sensitivity of the combined of the DPR and the VASH-1 level for diagnosing abnormal uterine bleeding of the women after medical abortion were 0.904, 85.3%, and 87.1%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that the history of abortion, the fibrinogen level >4g/L, the high DPR value and the VASH-1 level of the women were the risk factors of their abnormal uterine bleeding after medical abortion (P<0.05). Conclusion: The DPR and the VASH-1 level of the women with abnormal uterine bleeding after medical abortion are high, which can be used as the reference indexes for predicting their abnormal uterine bleeding.

To analyze the influencing factors of placental weight of women with full-term singleton pregnancy. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted to collect the clinical data of pregnant women with singleton pregnancy who had received regular health care and delivered in term from January to December 2020. According to the placental weight of the women, these women were divided into group A (women with low placental weight), group B (women with normal placental weight), and group C (women with over placental weight). The related factors affecting placental weight of the women were analyzed. Results: A total of 10318 women with full-term singleton pregnancy were in this study, which included 605 (5.9%) women in group A, 8709 (84.4%) women in group B, and 1004 (9.7%) women in group C. The placental weight (590±109 g) of the women deliveried during 37 gestatioanl weeks was significantly lower than that (629±117g) of the women delivered during other gestational weeks, and the placental weight of the women delivered during 41 gestational weeks was significantly higher than that of the women delivered during other gestational weeks (P<0.05). Maternal advanced age, multipara, male infants, assisted reproduction, prepregnancy overweight or obesity, excessive weight gain during pregnancy, abnormal glucose metabolism, and scarred uterus of the women were all the influencing factors of their placenta overweight. Primipara, female infants, low pregnant weight, and low weight gain during pregnancy of the women were all the influencing factors of their placenta underweight (all P<0.05). Conclusion: The placental weight is affected by the advanced age, parity, fetal sex, mode of conception, pre-pregnancy body mass index, gestational weight gain, pregnancy with abnormal glucose metabolism, and scar uterus of the pregnant women.

 To analyze the risk factors of ectopic pregnancy of women, to investigate the clinical efficacy of mifepristone combined with methotrexate for treating these women, and to study its influence on the expressions of their serumβ-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) and carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125). Methods: A total of 96 women with ectopic pregnancy (in group A) and 125 women with normal intrauterine pregnancy (in group B) were selected as the research objects from March 2019 to January 2021. The women in group A were divided into two groups according to different treatment methods, which included 48 women with treatment of mifepristone combined with methotrexate in group A1 and 48 women with treatment of methotrexate alone in group A2. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk factors of ectopic pregnancy. The results of pregnancy termination, the levels of β-hCG and CA125, and the pregnancy after 1 year and 6 months of follow-up of the women were compared between group A1 and group A2. Results: There were no significant differences in the marital status, the drinking history, the history of intrauterine device inserted, and the drug contraceptive history of the women between group A and group B (P>0.05), but there were significant differences in the pregnancy history, the induced abortion history, the infertility history, the smoking history, the number of sexual partners, the gynecological inflammation history, and the pelvic operation history of the women between group A and group B (P<0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that the pregnancy history, the abortion history, the infertility history, the smoking history, the gynecological inflammation history, the pelvic surgery history, and ≥2 sexual partners were the independent risk factors of the ectopic pregnancy of the women (P<0.05). In group A, the success rate of pregnancy termination (89.6%) of the women in group A1 was significantly higher than that (70.8%) of the women in group A2 (P<0.05). After treatment, the serum β-hCG and CA125 levels of the women in group A1 were significantly lower than those of the women in group A2 (P<0.05), and there were no significant differences in the rates of the intrauterine pregnancy (81.3% vs.72.9%), the ectopic pregnancy (6.3% vs.10.4%), and the secondary infertility (2.1% vs. 6.3%) of the women in 1.5 year after operation between group A1 and group A2 (P>0.05). Conclusion: The pregnancy history, the abortion history, the infertility history, the smoking, the gynecological inflammation history, the pelvic operative history, and the sexual partners ≥2 of the women were the risk factors of their ectopic pregnancy. Mifepristone combined with methotrexate for treating the women with ectopic pregnancy can increase the effect of the treatment, which is beneficial to reduce the levels of β-hCG and CA125 of the women, with better safety.

To investigate the effects of selenium supplementation for patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) on their asymmetric dimethyl arginine (ADMA) level, their cardiac metabolic risk factors, and sex hormones levels. Methods: 76 patients with PCOS were randomly divided into study group (34 cases) and control group (32 cases). The patients in the study group were given oralselenium-enriched yeast tablet 60 μg every day for 12 weeks, and the patients in the control group were given placebo. The levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG), serum insulin, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), apolipoprotein AI (Apo-A1), and Apo-B 100 of the patients in the two groups were measured before and after intervention. The levels of serum total testosterone (T), sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), and ADMA of the patients in the two groups were detected by ELISA. The insulin resistance (IR) of the patients in the two groups was calculated by homeostasis model assessment of IR (HOMA-IR). Results: After intervention, the levels of ADMA (52.4±18.64 ng/L) and T (0.49±0.31 ng/ml) of the patients in the study group were significantly lower than those (63.96±15.77 ng/L and 0.67±0.32 ng/ml) of the patients in the control group. The Apo-B100/Apo-A1 ratio (0.61±0.16) of the patients in the study group was significantly lower than that (0.67±0.19) of the patients in the control group (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the levels of FBG, insulin, and other lipid, and the HOMA-IR value of the patients between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: The selenium supplementation for the patients with PCOS for 12 weeks has a positive effect on their ADMA and total T levels, and Apo B 100/Apo AI ratio, but which has no significant improvement on their other cardiac metabolic risk factors.

To observe the application effect of isthmus ligation combined with low-dose vasopressin by fractional injection of patients during laparoscopic excision of hysteromyoma, and to study its influence on the microcirculation of these patients. Methods: From January 2019-May 2022, 66 patients with laparoscopic excision of uterine fibroids were selected and were divided into two groups (33 cases in each group) by random single-blind drawing. The patients in the control group received traditional suture hemostasis combined with pituitary by one-time injection during the operation, and the patients in the observation group received uterine isthmus ligation combined with low-dose vasopressin by fractional injection during operation. The hemostatic efficacy, the surgical conditions, the changes of microcirculation indexes, such as diastolic blood pressure (DBP), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and heart rate (HR) before and after treatment, and the complications situation of the patients were compared between the two groups. 3 months of follow-up after treatment, the menstrual situation of the patients in the two groups were counted. Results: The intraoperative blood loss (52.6±7.9ml), the postoperative anal exhaust time (1.6±0.6d), and the hospitalization stay (4.7±1.1d) of the patients in the observation group were significantly shorter than those (74.3±9.6ml, 2.1±0.7d, and 6.0±1.3d) of the patients in the control group. The values of DBP, SBP, and HR of the patients in both groups after 15 min of treatment had increased significantly, and which (74.3±5.4 mmHg, 110.3±9.1 mmHg, and 75.5±4.6 times/min) of the patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those (78.0±6.1 mmHg, 117.0±10.0) mmHg, and 80.9±5.3 times /min) of the patients in the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate of hemostasis (97.0%) of the patients in the observation group was significantly higher than that (75.8%) of the patients in the control group (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications (18.2% vs. 24.2%) of the patients between the two groups (P>0.05). 3 months after treatment, the menstrual volume and menstrual period of the patients in both groups had decreased significantly, and which (46.1±2.2ml and 4.7±1.3d) of the patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those (52.7±3.1ml and 6.3±1.4d) of the patients in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The application of isthmus ligation combined with lowdose vasopressin by fractional injection of the patients during laparoscopic excision of uterine fibroids improves their hemostasis effect, is beneficial to the operation, promotes the recovery of the patients, and has less impact on the microcirculation system of the patients.

To investigate the correlation between the serum vitamin D and miR-21 levels of women with recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) during re-pregnancy and their adverse pregnancy outcomes. Methods: A total of 104 women with RSA during re-pregnancy were selected in observation group from March 2019 to September 2021, and 40 normal pregnant women who had no history of spontaneous abortion were selected in control group during the same period. The serum vitamin D level of the women in the two groups was detected by chemiluminescence immunoassay, and the expression of miR-21 of the women in the two groups was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. The predictive value of the levels of serum vitamin D and miR-21 of the women with RSA during re-pregnancy for their adverse pregnancy outcomes was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The related factors affecting the adverse pregnancy outcomes of the women with RSA during re-pregnancy was explored by multivariate logistic regression. Results: The level of vitamin D (12.15±3.01 ng/ml) of the women in the observation group was significantly lower than that (26.51±4.43 ng/ml) of the women in the control group, and the miR21 level (2.96±0.65) of the women in the observation group was significantly higher than that (1.31±0.24) of the women in the control group (all P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under the curve of the serum vitamin D level and miR-21 level of the women with RSA during re-pregnancy for predicting their adverse pregnancy outcomes were 0.834 and 0.842, the cut-off values of which were 19.32ng/ml and 2.14, the sensitivity of which were 79.8% and 81.0%, and the specificity of which were 82.3% and 83.8%. The area under the curve, the sensitivity, the specificity of the combined serum vitamin D and miR-21 levels of the women with RSA during re-pregnancy for predicting their adverse pregnancy outcomes were 0.897, 89.3%, and 81.9%, respectively. The incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes (46.5%) of the women with low vitamin D level was significantly higher than that (14.8%) of the women with high vitamin D level, and which (44.9%) of the women with high miR-21 level was significantly higher than that (12.7%) of the women with low miR-21 level (all P<0.05). Multifactor analysis showed that the vitamin D level ≤19.32ng/ml (OR=3.01, 95%CI: 1.46-6.20), and the miR-21 level >2.14 (OR=2.54, 95%CI: 1.38-4.67) were the influence factors of the adverse outcomes of the women with RSA after pregnancy (P<0.05). Conclusion: The abnormal levels of serum vitamin D and miR-21 of the women with RSA during re-pregnancy are related to their adverse pregnancy outcomes, and the incidence of the adverse pregnancy outcomes of the women with low vitamin D level or high miR-21 level is high, both of the vitamin D level and the miR-21 level are expected to be the effective indicators for predicting the pregnancy outcomes of the women.

Methods: 106 pregnant women with HDCP from November 2019 to November 2021 were collected in group A, which included 28 cases with severe preeclampsia in group A1, 34 cases with moderate preeclampsia in group A2, and 44 cases with gestational hypertension in group A3. 100 healthy pregnant women were selected in group B during the same period. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the levels of serum ANGPTL2 and ADAM10 of the women. Spearman analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the severity of HDCP of the women and the levels of their serum ANGPTL2 and ADAM10, and their blood pressure value. According to the degree of amniotic fluid contamination and the neonatal Apgar score, the women in group A were divided group A4 (56 cases with poor prognosis) and group A5 (50 cases with normal prognosis). Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the factors affecting the prognosis of the women with HDCP. The predictive value of the levels of serum ANGPTL2 and ADAM10 of the women with HDCP for their prognosis was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results: The levels of ANGPTL2 (8.54±2.13 ng/ml) and ADAM10 (1700.54±300.35 pg/ml) of the women in group A were significantly higher than those (6.46±1.21 ng/ml and 1348.65±280.32 pg/ml) of the women in group B (all P<0.05). The levels of serum ANGPTL2 and ADAM10, and the values of systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure of the women in group A3, group A2, and group A1 had increased gradually, and which of the women were positively correlated with the severity of their HDCP. The value of 24h urinary protein (PRO), and the ANGPTL2 and ADAM10 levels of the women in group A4 were significantly higher than those of the women in group A5 (all P<0.05). The abnormal high 24h PRO value and the high expressions of ANGPTL2 and ADAM10 of the women with HDCP were their factors influencing poor prognosis (all P<0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) of the serum ANGPTL2 level for predicting the prognosis of the women with HDCP was 0.838, and the optimal critical value of which was 8.14 ng/ml. The AUC of the serum ADAM10 for predicting the prognosis of the women with HDCP was 0.834, and the optimal cut-off value of which was 1627.11 pg/ml. The AUC of the combined levels of serum ADAM10 and ANGPTL2 for predicting the prognosis of the women with HDCP was 0.921, and the predictive efficacy which was significantly higher than that of the serum ADAM10 level or ANGPTL2 level alone (all P<0.05). Conclusion: The expressions of serum ANGPTL2 and ADAM10 of the women with HDCP are up-regulated, and are closely related to the severity and the prognosis of HDCP, and both of which can predicte the prognosis of HDCP of the women.

To study the predictive value of the parameters of elastography of cervix (E-cervix) by transvaginal ultrasound combined with anterior uterocervical angle for the preterm delivery of high-risk pregnant women. Methods: The clinical data of 82 high-risk pregnant women from April 2021 to May 2022 were collected, and these women were divided into group A (14 women with premature delivery) and group B (68 women with full-term delivery) according to the clinical pregnancy outcomes. E-cervix and transvaginal two-dimensional ultrasound were performed on the women in the two groups during 16-18 gestational weeks and 22-24 gestational weeks. The values of cervical elastic parameters, such as elastic contrast index (ECI), internal / external os strain (IOS/EOS), and hardness ratio (HR), and the anterior cervix angle of the women were compared between the two groups. The predictive value of the values of ECI, IOS/EOS, HR, and anterior cervical angle for the preterm delivery of the high-risk pregnant women was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results: There were no significant differences in the values of ECI, IOS/EOS, HR, and anterior cervical angle of the women during 16-18 gestational weeks between the two groups (P>0.05). The values of ECI and IOS/EOS of the women in group A during 22-24 gestational weeks were significantly lower than those of the women in group B, while the values of HR and anterior cervical angle of the women in group A were significantly higher (P<0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) of the values of ECI, IOS/EOS, HR, and anterior cervical angle of the high-risk women for predicting their preterm delivery were 0.731, 0.776, 0.834, and 0.816, respectively, the sensitivity of which were 71.4%, 64.3%, 78.6%, and 78.6%, respectively, and the specificity of which were 88.2%, 85.3%, 82.4%, and 80.9%, respectively. The AUC, the sensitivity, and the specificity of the combined values of ECI, IOS/EOS, HR, and anterior cervical angle of the high-risk women for predicting their preterm delivery were 0.926, 92.9%, and 95.6%, respectively, which were all significantly higher than those of the ECI value, the IOS/EOS value, the HR value, or the anterior cervical angle value alone (P<0.05). Conclusion: The value of the E-cervix parameters values combined with the anterior cervical angle value of the high-risk pregnant women for predicting their premature delivery is higher.

Methods: 124 full-term pregnant women with singleton who were hospitalized for induce labor from May 2021 to January 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. These women were divided into group A (66 women with sensitive cervix for dilation) and group B (58 women without sensitive cervix for dilation) according to the time of uterine orifice dilation during labor induction. The elastic imaging parameters of the women in the two groups at 12h before labor induction were evaluated by E-cervix technique and the Bioshop score of the women in the two groups was also evaluated. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to analyze the predictive values of ECervix parameters and Bioshop score for the cervical sensitivity. The cervical dilation time of the women was compared between the two groups. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between the cervical dilation time of the women and their E-Cervix parameters. Results: The Bishop score (3.26±0.56 points) of the women in group A was significantly lower than that (3.89±0.87 points) of the women in group B, and the values of E-Cervix elastic imaging parameters of the women in group A were significantly higher than those of the women in group B (all P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (0.869) of E-Cervix parameters for evaluating the cervical sensitivity was significantly higher than that (0.746) of the Bishop score. The sensitivity and the specificity of E-Cervix parameters for evaluating the cervical sensitivity were 87.4% and 82.7%. The cervical dilation time (190.0±58.6min) of the women in group A was significantly shorter than that (226.8±57.6min) of the women in group B (all P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the cervical dilation time of the women was positively correlated with their E-Cervix parameters (P<0.05). Conclusion: E-Cervix can effectively predict the cervical sensitivity of the pregnant women, and the parameters of E-Cervix are positively correlated with the cervical dilation time.

To explore the value of transvaginal three-dimensional ultrasound (3D-TVS) for evaluating the endometrium situation of infertility patients with intrauterine adhesions (IUA), and to study the correlation between the endometrium situation of the infertility patients and their pregnancy outcomes after in vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Methods: The clinical data and the ultrasonic imaging data of 98 infertile patients with IUA who had accepted IVF-ET were analyzed retrospectively. All the patients had undergone hysteroscopic transvaginal resolution of adhesions (TCRA) and had received IVF-ET within 1 year after operation. According to the pregnancy outcomes, these patients were divided into group A (55 cases with clinical pregnancy) and group B (43 cases without pregnancy). The endometrial thickness and type, and the ultrasonogram by 3D-TVS during the implantation window of the patients in the two groups were analyzed. Results: There were no significant differences in the endometrial thickness [(8.40±1.33mm (5.8-11.5mm) vs. (7.83±1.69mm (4.8-11.7mm)] and the endometrial type of the patients between the two groups (all P>0.05). There was significant difference in the proportion of the normal sonogram by 3D-TVS 3D (3.6% vs. 20.9%) of the patients between the two groups (P<0.05). The abnormal sonogram by 3D-TVS 3D of the patients in group B were mainly manifested as endometrial limitation dark area and endometrial local defect area. Conclusion: D-TVS can accurately evaluate the abnormal echo changes of uterine cavity and endometrium of the infertility patients with IUA, which can provide important information for IVF-ET and the prognosis of infertility patients with IUA.

To explore the expressions and clinical significance of miR-1287-5p and homeobox A7 (HOXA7) in cervical cancer of patients. Methods: The clinical data of 92 patients with cervical cancer from June 2013 to January 2017 were collected in this study. The expression of miR-1287-5p and HOXA7 in cervical cancer tissue and in paracancerous tissue were detected by qRT-PCR. Pearson analysis was applied to analyze the correlation between the MiR-1287-5p level in cervical cancer tissues of the patients and their HOXA7 expression level. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were applied to analyze the correlation between the MiR-1287-5p and HOXA7 expression levels of the patients with cervical cancer and their prognosis. COX regression was applied to analyze the risk factors affecting the prognosis of the patients with cervical cancer. Results: The miR-1287-5p level (0.71±0.16) in cervical cancer tissue was significantly lower than that (1.03±0.05) in paracarcinoma tissue, and the HOXA7 mRNA level (1.51±0.24) was significantly higher than that (1.02±0.03) in paracarcinoma tissue (all P<0.05). The miR-1287-5p level in cervical cancer tissue was negatively correlated with the HOXA7 level (r=-0.484, P<0.05). The MiR-1287-5p and HOXA7 expression levels in cervical cancer tissue of the patients were associated with their human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, their lymph node metastasis, their differentiation status of cancer, and their FIGO staging (P<0.05).  Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the survival rate of the patients with high MiR-1287-5p expression level was significantly higher than that of the patients with low Mir-1287-5p expression level (logrank=12.471, P=0.000), and the survival rate of the patients with low HOXA7 expression level was significantly higher than that of the patients with high Mir-1287-5p expression level (logrank=5.180, P=0.023). Multivariate COX regression analysis showed that the positive HPV infection, the low tissue differentiation of cancer, the FIGO stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ of cancer, the low expression level of Mir-887-5p, and the high expression level of HOXA7 of the patients with cervical cancer were the independent risk factors of their poor prognosis (P<0.05). Conclusion: The expression level of miR-1287-5p in cancer tissues of the patients decreases, and the expression level of HOXA7 in cancer tissues of the patients increases, and the abnormal expression levels of both which influence the prognosis of the patients with cervical cancer.

To investigate the clinical values of the level of serum soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1 (sflt-1) and the values of the arterial blood flow parameters by ultrasound, such as resistance index (RI), pulsatility index (PI), and systolic to diastolic peak velocity ratio (S/D) for predicting the preeclampsia (PE) of pregnant women. Methods: 106 pregnant women with high-risk factors of PE were enrolled as the research objects. The peripheral venous blood of these women was collected from 16 to 20 gestational weeks for detecting the level of their serum sflt-1 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The uterine artery blood flow parameters of these women during 20-24 gestational weeks were measured by Doppler ultrasound. 48 women with confirmed PE were included in study group, and 58 women with normal blood pressure were included in control group. The serum sflt-1 level and the values of arterial blood flow parameters by ultrasound of the women were compared between the two groups. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to analyze the value of the serum sflt-1 level and the values of arterial blood flow parameters of the women for predicting their PE. Results: The values of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and the levels of blood albumin and blood nitrogen of the women at diagnosis in the study group were significantly higher than those of the women in the control group, and the placental mass and the birth weight of newborns in the study group were significantly lower than those of the women in the control group (P<0.05). The serum sflt-1 level (27.15±3.78 mg/L), and the values of RI (0.92±0.18), PI (1.52±0.21), and S/D (4.16±1.11) of the women in the study group were significantly higher than those (5.49±1.14mg/L, 0.73±0.16, 1.01±0.18, and 3.63±0.79) of the women in the group (P<0.05). ROC analysis showed that the value of the serum sflt-1 levels of the women for predicting their PE was similar to that of the values of RI and PI, and the value of S/D of the women for predicting their PE was the lowest. The value of the combined RI, PI, and S/D values of the women for predicting their PE was significantly higher than that of RI value, PI value, or S/D value alone, and the area under the curve (AUC) of which was 0.856. The predictive efficacy of the combination of the serum sflt-1 level and the values of RI, PI, and S/D of the women for their PE was the highest (AUC=0.920). Conclusion: The serum sflt1 level and the values of uterine artery blood flow parameters PI, RI and S/D by color ultrasound Doppler of the pregnant women with PE increase abnormally. The predictive efficacy of the combination of the serum sflt-1 level and the values of RI, PI, and S/D of the women for their PE is high, and which can be used as the reference indexes for clinical screening or predicting PE of the women.

To investigate the related factors of labor progress of primiparas, and to study their impact on the postpartum complications of these primiparas. Methods: The clinical data of 100 primiparas with natural delivery in hospital from May 2021 to May 2022 were collected retrospectively. These primiparas were divided into group A (primiparas with normal labor) and group B (primiparas with prolonged labor) according to the progress of labor during delivery. The clinical data during pregnancy and the delivery indicators of the primiparas were compared between the two groups. The possible factors affecting the progress of labor of the primiparas were analyzed. Results: Among the 100 primiparas, there were 27 (27.0%) cases in group B and 73 (73.0%) cases in group A. There were significant differences in the age, the newborn body weight, and the weight gain during pregnancy, and analgesia during labor of the primiparas between the two groups (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age of primipara ≥35 years old, the newborn body weight ≥4 kg, the excessive weight gain during pregnancy,  and no analgesia during labor of the primiparas were all the factors influencing the prolongation of labor of the primipara. After the adjustment of the confounding factors, such as age and newborn body weight, the excessive weight gain during pregnancy and no labor analgesia of the primipara were also associated with their prolongation of labor (all P<0.05). The incidence of postpartum complications of the primiparas with excessive weight gain during pregnancy (44.4%) was significantly higher than that (19.1%) of the primiparas with normal weight gain during pregnancy, and that (22.7%) of the primiparas with insufficient weight gain during pregnancy. The incidence of postpartum complications (37.3%) of the primipara without analgesia during labor was significantly higher than that (17.1%) of the primiparas with analgesia (all P<0.05). Conclusion: The excessive weight gain during pregnancy and no labor analgesia of the primiparas are related to their progress of labor, and which will affect the incidence of postpartum complications of the primiparas. Therefore, the pregnancy management and labor intervention can be conducted accordingly to the excessive weight gain during pregnancy and no labor analgesia of the primiparas for ensuring the progress of labor smoothly.

To analyze the effects of weight gain during pregnancy and blood lipid level of pregnant women with singleton on their adverse pregnancy outcomes and neonatal body composition. Methods: A total of 206 pregnancy women with singleton who underwent prenatal examination and delivery in the hospital were selected by convenient sampling method from June 2021 to June 2022. These women were divided into group A (women with good pregnancy outcomes) and group B (women with adverse pregnancy outcomes) according to the pregnancy outcomes of these women. The general data, the weight gain during pregnancy, and the blood lipid levels of the women were compared between the two groups. The influencing factors of the adverse pregnancy outcomes of the women in the two groups were explored by Logistic regression analysis. The weight gain during pregnancy, the status of blood lipid and the adverse pregnancy outcomes, and the situation of the newborn body composition, such as percentage of body fat and fat weight, of the women in the two groups were analyzed. Spearman correlation was used to analyze the correlation between the weight gain and the blood lipid status during pregnancy of the women and their newborn body composition. Results: Among 206 pregnant women, there were 37 cases in group B and 169 cases in group A. There were significant differences in the age, the pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), the weight gain during pregnancy, and the blood lipid levels of the women between the two groups (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the maternal age, the pre-pregnancy BMI, the pregnancy weight gain, and the dyslipidemia of the women were all the factors influencing their adverse pregnancy outcomes. After adjusting the confounding factors, such as age and pre-pregnancy BMI of the women, the pregnancy weight gain and the dyslipidemia of the women were still the independently correlated with their adverse pregnancy outcomes (all P<0.05). The percentages of the body fat and the fat weight of the newborn of the women with excessive weight gain during pregnancy were significantly higher than those of the women with appropriate weight gain or insufficient weight gain during pregnancy, and which of the women with abnormal lipid metabolism were significantly higher than those of the women with normal lipid metabolism (all P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that the weight gain and dyslipidemia of the women during pregnancy were positively correlated with the body fat percentage and fat weight of their newborn (P<0.05). Conclusion: The excessive weight gain and abnormal lipid metabolism during pregnancy of the women with singleton pregnancy are the risk factors of their adverse pregnancy outcomes, and which will adversely affect the neonatal body composition of the women. So, the management of weight and blood lipid during pregnancy should be strengthened for controlling the weight gain and the blood lipid level of the women during pregnancy.

The critical value of analgesia duration of the women was determined by Yoden index, and the women in group A were divided into group A1 (women with long duration of epidural analgesia) and group B (women with short duration of epidural analgesia) according to the critical value. The anesthetic effect and other indexes of the women were compared between the two groups. Results: There were 566 (76.3%) women in group A and 176 (23.7%) women in group B. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the prolonged epidural analgesia, the catheter displacement, and the uterine orifice opened wide of the women were the favorable factors of their epidural anesthesia (P<0.05), while the preoperative artificial rupture of membranes of the women was the unfavorable factors (P<0.05). ROC results showed that the optimal threshold of the epidural analgesia duration was 9.53h, and the sensitivity and the specificity of which were 0.588 and 0.895. The probability of receiving spinal anesthesia of the women in group A1 was 2.794 times of that of the women in group A2, and the incidence of intraoperative hypotension (31.5%) of the women in group A1 was significantly higher than that (21.0%) of the women in group A2 (P<0.05). Conclusion: The main anesthesia mode of the women who were converted to cesarean section during epidural labor analgesia of tried vaginal delivery were the epidural analgesia and spinal anesthesia. The duration of epidural analgesia was the important factor affecting the anesthesia mode of caesarean section. The probability of spinal anesthesia during caesarean section of the women with labor analgesia duration ≥9.53h who were converted to caesarean section was significantly higher, but the prevention of intraoperative hypotension of the women should be paid attention to.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) of the women is the abnormality of glucose tolerance that first occurrence or discovery during pregnancy, and has serious adverse effects on the mother, the fetus, and the baby, and which as the most common pregnancy complication has been become one of the current research hotspots. The oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) in China are mainly performed during 24-26 gestational weeks, but at this time, the time window left for clinical treatment is already very short, and the screening process is tedious, and time-consuming and labor-intensive, with poor compliance of these pregnant women. At present, the extensive researches have been achieved on the early predictors of GDM. This article focuses on the metabolic indicators for predicting GDM during the first trimester of pregnancy.
