简介：摘要Background and objectiveCloser monitoring and treatment is vital for pregnant carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning cases due to fetal poisoning component. Permanent damage can occur in both the mother and the baby. It may cause stillbirth even though no serious clinical symptoms occur in the mother. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment is advised for all pregnant patients regardless of their clinical symptoms. Pregnant CO poisoning patients that received HBO treatment and their fetal status were evaluated in this study.MethodsPregnant patients poisoned with CO treated in the same hyperbaric clinic were evaluated. Pregnant patients that received HBO treatment in a multiplace chamber were evaluated in terms of clinical status, demographic structure, laboratory tests, fetal effects and progress of the fetus until birth and 6 months postpartum.ResultsA total number of 32 pregnant cases were treated. COHb values were over 20% (min 6.9- max 40.2) in 23 patients, 11 patients had a history of syncope. All patients took HBO treatment under 2.4 ATA pressure for 120 min. 3 patients received more than 1 session of HBO treatments due to fetal stress; all other cases took 1 session of HBO treatment. No spontaneous abortus occurred in early follow-ups; only 4 babies were born prematurely. 2 of the babies were lost in the early phases after birth, due to causes non-related to CO poisoning complications (cyanotic heart disease, necrotizing enterocolitis). No significant difference were observed in the comparison of laboratory results of patients with syncope and of those who did not have syncope and comparison of patients with COHb value higher than 20% and patients with COHb value lower than 20% (P>0.05)．ConclusionHBO is not advisable for pregnant patients except for CO poisoning. In this study it is observed that HBO treatment under 2.4 ATA pressure for 120 min has no harmful effects on the mother and the fetus. It is observed that continuation of HBO treatment in the cases with fetal distress findings has beneficial effects. COHb levels and syncope were shown to have no significant effect on clinical symptoms and on blood tests.

简介：AbstractObjective:To explore the risk factors and pregnancy outcomes in women with a history of cesarean section complicated by placenta accreta (PA).Methods:This case-control study included clinical data from singleton mothers with a history of cesarean section in 11 public tertiary hospitals in seven provinces of China between January 2017 and December 2017. According to the intraoperative findings after delivery, the study population was divided into PA and non-PA groups. We compared the pregnancy outcomes between the two groups, used multivariate logistic regression to analyze the risk factors for placental accreta.Results:For this study we included 11,074 pregnant women with a history of cesarean section; and of these, 869 cases were in the PA group and 10,205 cases were in the non-PA group. Compared with the non-PA group, the probability of postpartum hemorrhage (236/10,205, 2.31% vs. 283/869, 32.57%), severe postpartum hemorrhage (89/10,205, 0.87% vs. 186/869, 21.75%), diffuse intravascular coagulation (3/10,205, 0.03% vs. 4/869, 0.46%), puerperal infection (33/10,205, 0.32% vs. 12/869, 1.38%), intraoperative bladder injury (1/10,205, 0.01% vs. 16/869, 1.84%), hysterectomy (130/10,205, 1.27% vs. 59/869, 6.79%), and blood transfusion (328/10,205,3.21 % vs. 231/869,26.58%) was significantly increased in the PA group (P < 0.05). At the same time, the neonatal birth weight (3250.00 (2950.00-3520.00) g vs. 2920.00 (2530.00-3250.00) g), the probability of neonatal comorbidities (245/10,205, 2.40% vs. 61/869, 7.02%), and the rate of neonatal intensive care unit admission (817/10,205, 8.01% vs. 210/869, 24.17%) also increased significantly (P < 0.05). Weight (odds ratio (OR)= 1.03, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.01-1.05)), parity (OR= 1.18, 95%CI: 1.03-1.34), number of miscarriages (OR= 1.31, 95%CI: 1.17-1.47), number of previous cesarean sections (OR= 2.57, 95%CI: 2.02-3.26), history of premature rupture of membrane (OR= 1.61, 95%CI: 1.32-1.96), previous cesarean-section transverse incisions (OR= 1.38, 95%CI: 1.12-1.69), history of placenta previa (OR= 2.44,95%CI: 1.50-3.96), and the combination of prenatal hemorrhage (OR= 9.95,95%CI: 8.42-11.75) and placenta previa (OR= 91.74, 95%CI: 74.11-113.56) were all independent risk factors for PA.Conclusion:There was an increased risk of adverse outcomes in pregnancies complicated by PA in women with a history of cesarean section, and this required close clinical attention. Weight before pregnancy, parity, number of miscarriages, number of previous cesarean sections, history of premature rupture of membranes, past transverse incisions in cesarean sections, a history of placenta previa, prenatal hemorrhage, and placenta previa were independent risk factors for pregnancies complicated with PA in women with a history of cesarean section. These independent risk factors showed a high value in predicting the risk for placentab accreta in pregnancies of women with a history of cesarean section.

简介：AbstractObjective:To explore the best timing for frozen embryo transfer (FET) after ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval using the clomiphene citrate (CC) + human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) ovulation induction regimen through a retrospective analysis.Methods:Data of patients who underwent CC + hMG ovulation induction and FET from January 2014 to December 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into three groups according to the interval from egg retrieval to FET: CC1 (within 1 menstrual cycle), CC2 (2 menstrual cycles), and CC3 (≥ 3 menstrual cycles). Indicators such as hormone levels and pregnancy outcomes were recorded to explore the effect of different intervals on pregnancy outcome.Results:A total of 1,082 transfer cycles were included in this retrospective analysis. The implantation, clinical pregnancy, and live birth rates in the CC1 group were significantly lower than those in the CC2 and CC3 groups (P < 0.05). The E2/P4 ratio on progesterone injection day (3 days before thawed embryo transfer) was lower in the CC1 group than in the other groups (P < 0.05). After adjusting for all factors using multifactor regression analysis, the interval between egg retrieval and FET was found to be an independent predictor of the implantation, pregnancy, and live birth rates.Conclusion:An interval of more than one menstrual cycle between the day of egg retrieval after ovarian stimulation with the CC + hMG ovulation induction regimen and the day of FET can result in high implantation, clinical pregnancy, and live birth rates, which can lead to an improved pregnancy outcome.

简介：AbstractObjective:To investigate the effects of spontaneous labor before elective repeat cesarean delivery (ERCD) on short-term maternal and neonatal outcomes.Methods:This was a prospective cohort study. All consecutive ERCDs, occurring at ≥37 weeks of gestation between July 1, 2017 and December 31, 2019 in Makassed General Hospital, were evaluated. The maternal and neonatal outcomes of 183 laboring women undergoing unscheduled repeat cesarean delivery (URCD) group were compared with those of 204 women undergoing cesarean delivery (CD) without spontaneous labor (ERCD) group. Primary outcomes were "composite adverse maternal outcome" and "composite adverse neonatal outcome." Fisher’s exact and Student’s t tests were used to assess the significance of differences in dichotomous and continuous variables, respectively. Two logistic regression models were constructed to identify risk factors with most significant influence on the rate of composite adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.Results:"Composite adverse maternal outcome" was significantly more common in women who underwent spontaneous labor ((40/183) 21.9% vs. (19/204) 9.3%, P= 0.001, relative risk (RR): 2.7, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.50-4.90). Similarly, "composite adverse neonatal outcome" was significantly increased in the URCD group ((24/183) 13.1% vs. (12/204) 5.9%, P= 0.014, RR: 2.4, 95% CI: 1.18-4.98). These adverse effects persisted after adjustment for confounders. Multivariate regression models revealed that, besides labor, CD-order impacted maternal outcome (RR: 1.5, 95%CI: 1.02-2.30, P= 0.036), while CD-order and teenage pregnancy influenced neonatal outcome (RR: 2.1, 95%CI: 1.29-3.38, P= 0.003, and RR: 16.5, 95%CI: 2.09-129.80, P= 0.008, respectively).Conclusion:In our study, spontaneous labor before ERCD, including deliveries at term, was associated with adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes, indicating that it is preferable to conduct ERCD before the onset of labor. Screening women with MRCD may identify those at increased risk for spontaneous labor for whom CD could be scheduled 1-2 weeks earlier. Further large prospective studies to assess the effects of such an approach on maternal and neonatal outcomes are strongly warranted.

简介：AbstractObjective:To evaluate the clinical utility of noninvasive prenatal screening (NIPS) for fetuses with congenital heart disease (CHD) and impact of NIPS results on pregnancy outcome.Methods:This was a retrospective study of pregnant women with fetuses diagnosed with CHDs by sonographic examination, who willing to underwent NIPS as a side-test for fetal aneuploidies. From August 2016 to October 2017, in the sonographic examination center of Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. NIPS was offered to 117 women, 19-32 years old, who carried fetuses with CHD diagnosed by fetal ultrasound (mean gestational age= 24 weeks). The pregnancy outcomes were followed-up.Results:NIPS positive rate in our pregnancies with CHD fetuses’ cohort was 11.1% (13/117), and the positive predictive value for aneuploidies is 85.7% (6/7). In the NIPS positive group (n = 13), all pregnancies terminated, 76.9% (10/13) of those decisions were made on ultrasound finding alone. In the NIPS negative group (n= 104), 2 lost follow-up, 79 pregnancies terminated, among which 77.2% (61/79) of the decision was made by ultrasound results alone. Twenty-three pregnancies continued and 78.3% of those fetuses carried single type CHD. In terminated pregnancies that did not considered NIPS results (71/115), 73.2% (52/71) of those carried fetuses with two or more types of CHDs.Conclusion:NIPS can detect common aneuploidy associated with CHD with high positive predictive value and screening yield. The NIPS result played certain meaningful roles in determining pregnancy outcomes, particularly for fetus with simplex CHD; yet the parents’ decision of pregnancy was mainly made based on ultrasound findings.

简介：AbstractInnate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a group of lymphocytes without diversified antigen receptors encoded by gene rearrangement on T and B cells. ILCs, which are tissue-resident innate immune cells, expressed particularly in the mucosa or the barrier surface, contribute to the formation of lymphoid organs, the maintenance of tissue homeostasis, and the regulation of antimicrobial defenses. It has been recently reported that ILCs were enriched at the maternal-fetal interface. During a successful pregnancy, the maternal immune system must tolerate a fetus as an allograft. With the new defined of ILCs, a number of studies have shown that three types of ILCs are involved in embryonic development and pregnancy maintenance as well as the occurrence and development of pregnancy-related complications. This article reviews the types and roles of ILCs in normal pregnancy and pregnancy-related diseases.

简介：AbstractHypertension in pregnancy is currently defined as a systolic blood pressure (BP) of 140 mmHg or more, or a diastolic BP of 90 mmHg or more. This level of BP warrants antihypertensive therapy. Treating to a target BP of 135/85 mmHg halves the risk of severe hypertension that is itself associated with adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes, similar in magnitude to preeclampsia. While based on the results of the Control of Hypertension in Pregnancy Study (CHIPS) trial, this finding is consistent with all antihypertensive trials to date. Also, in the CHIPS trial, "tight" BP control also halved the risk of progression to thrombocytopenia and elevated liver enzymes for the mother, without adverse effects for the fetus or newborn. This was true regardless of the gestational age at which BP control was instituted. While methyldopa, labetalol, and nifedipine are the most commonly-recommended oral antihypertensives, it is not clear that one antihypertensive agent has advantages over the others for treatment of non-severe hypertension in pregnancy. No antihypertensives, including renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors, have been shown to be teratogenic, although there may be an increase in malformations associated with the underlying condition of chronic hypertension. Atenolol and RAAS inhibitors should not be used once pregnancy is diagnosed, based on fetotoxicity. At present, BP treatment targets used in clinic are the same as those used at home as the differences are quite variable among hypertensive women. For treatment of acute severe hypertension, the most commonly-recommended antihypertensives are oral nifedipine, IV labetalol, and IV hydralazine, although oral agents have also been shown to be effective in the majority of women; while concerns raised about IV hydralazine-induced maternal hypotension and its consequences have not been confirmed, this medication may be an inferior antihypertensive to oral nifedipine. While treatment recommendations are based on evidence, women should be engaged in decision-making, as their values may alter target BP and antihypertensive choice. Future work will clarify the optimal target BP based on home BP measurements; whether BP targets should be lowered further if the definition of hypertension is based on a lower BP; which, if any, antihypertensive medication for non-severe hypertension is better with regards to maternal and perinatal outcomes; and whether factors beyond BP level (such as variability, race, and other physiological variables) should inform antihypertensive therapy in pregnancy.

简介：AbstractGut microbiota is symbiotic and interdependent with human body. Intestinal probiotics are colonized in the human gastrointestinal tract, which can improve the host intestinal microenvironment and enhance the intestinal function and immune function of the human body. A small number of opportunistic pathogens exist in the intestinal tract. Once the number of pathogens exceeds the threshold of intestinal tolerance, the intestinal micro-ecological balance can be destroyed, and various diseases may thus develop. Pregnancy is a special status with different physiologic changing stages. In the meanwhile, alterations in the gut microbiome populations occur, which can promote the differentiation, development, and maturation of fetal organs by affecting maternal metabolism. Compared with normal pregnant women, great changes in the gastrointestinal function and gut microbiome may take place in pregnant women with pregnancy-related complications, in which these changes include the number, species, and intestinal translocation. The composition of the maternal gut microbiome could contribute to pregnancy and obstetric outcomes, and long-term health of mother and child. The relationships of pregnancy to gut microbiome have attracted an increasing attention in recent years. This article will provide a summary review of the research studies of gut microbiome in normal pregnant women versus abnormal pregnancy women with complications.

简介：AbstractDecidualization is the differentiation of endometrial stromal cells into secretory decidual stromal cells. Human decidualization involves some amount of signaling molecules and pathways as well as genetic reprogramming, which is driven by the postovulatory rise in progesterone levels and local cyclic adenosine monophosphate production. Decidualization extends from the primary decidual zone to the secondary decidual zone, and then exits through apoptosis. Evidences support that decidual fibroblasts function as the pool of decidual stromal cells during pregnancy. Decidualization undergoes an acute inflammatory phase, an anti-inflammatory secretory phase to the final recession phase. The decidualization of the inner layer of endometrium, termed decidua, is the most critical determinant of pregnancy success, which can promote placenta formation, modulate immune tolerance, foster resistance to oxidative stress, sense embryo quality, and control labor. Failure to adequate decidualization in terms of hormones, biochemistry, and immunology leads to adverse pregnancy outcomes, including diseases such as preeclampsia, miscarriage, premature labor, repeated implantation failures, and some age-related decline in reproductive capacity. The development of animal models and in vitro culture systems combined with emerging technologies provides a powerful system to explore the mechanism of decidualization. However, decidualization is a dynamic, multi-step process, and translating of current research progress into disease predictions and interventions for pregnancy complications remains to be achieved. The study of periodic regeneration and spontaneous decidualization of the endometrium will be beneficial to the diagnosis and treatment of pregnancy diseases.

简介：AbstractHuman coronavirus (HCoV) causes potentially fatal respiratory disease. Pregnancy is a physiological state that predisposes women to viral infection. In this review, we aim to present advances in the pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment in HCoV in pregnancy. We retrieved information from the Pubmed database up to June 2020, using various search terms and relevant words, including coronaviruses, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus, 2019 coronavirus disease, and pregnancy. Both basic and clinical studies were selected. We found no evidence that pregnant women are more susceptible to HCoV infection or that those with HCoV infection are more prone to developing severe pneumonia. There is also no confirmed evidence of vertical mother-to-child transmission of HcoV infection during maternal HCoV infection. Those diagnosed with infection should be promptly admitted to a negative-pressure isolation ward, preferably in a designated hospital with adequate facilities and multi-disciplinary expertise to manage critically ill obstetric patients. Antiviral treatment has been routinely used to treat pregnant women with HCoV infection. The timing and mode of delivery should be individualized, depending mainly on the clinical status of the patient, gestational age, and fetal condition. Early cord clamping and temporary separation of the newborn for at least 2 weeks is recommended. All medical staff caring for patients with HCoV infection should use personal protective equipment. This review highlights the advances in pathogenesis, maternal-fetal outcome, maternal-fetal transmission, diagnosis and treatment in HCoV including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus, and coronavirus disease 2019 in pregnancy.

简介：AbstractServing as the interface between the fetal and maternal environments during gestation, the placenta plays critical roles in the protection of the developing fetus and the maintenance of maternal health. The placenta is primarily derived from the embryonic trophectoderm which differentiates into various subtypes of trophoblast cells through villous and extravillous pathways. The interactions among trophoblasts and multiple decidual cells and immune cells at the maternal-fetal interface fundamentally form the functional units of the placenta, which are responsible for blood perfusion and maternal-fetal material exchange, immune tolerance, and the regulation of pregnancy adaptation. Defects in placental development and functional maintenance are in tight association with adverse pregnancy outcomes such as preeclampsia. In this article, we review recent advances on human trophoblast cell differentiation and the construction of placental functional units and discuss the placental and maternal factors that may contribute to the occurrence of preeclampsia.
