Objective To investigate the relationship of fetal total bile acid (TBA) concentration with the change of fetal pancreas endocrine secretion and its impact on fetal growth and development in intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy(ICP). Methods The concentrations of TBA, insulin, glucagon and glucose in the cord blood were measured in 30 fetuses with maternal ICP (case group) and 30 fetuses of normogravidas(control group) after elective cesarean section during the same period in the Department of Obstetrics of Xiangya Second Hospital of Central South University from March 2007 to February 2008. The cord blood TBA concentration was investigated by enzyme method and the concentrations of insulin and glucagon were investigated by radioimmunoassay. The glucose was measured by oxidase-superoxide method. The neonatal weight, length and the ponderal index (PI) were measured after parturition. Results (1) The cord blood insulin concentration (9.0±3.3) mU/L and the ratio of insulin over glucagon 0. 048±0. 028 in the case group was significantly lower than that of controls(10.1±3.7) mU/L,0.050±0. 020 (P<0.05). The concentrations of TBA(10.3±3. 8)μmol/L and glucagon(235±57) ng/L in case group were obviously higher than that in controls (4.1±1.3)μol/L, (205±34) ng/L(P<0.05). But no difference was shown in the glucose concentration in cord blood between the ease and control groups [(3.4±1.1) mmol/L vs (3.6± 1.2 )mmol/L, P > 0.05]. (2)The neonatal weight and length in case group were significantly lower than that of control [(3163±478) g vs (3498±393)g, (46.5±2.3) cm vs (49.3±1.9)cm, P<0.01]; while the Ponderal index in ease group was significantly higher than that of control group (3.13±0. 23 vs 2. 92±0. 29,P <0.01). (3) The cord blood TBA concentration respectively showed a linear relationship with the cord blood insulin concentration, the cord blood glucagon concentration and the ratio of insulin over glucagon in the case group. With the increase in cord blood TBA concentration, the cord insulin concentration and the ratio of insulin over glucagon decreased; meanwhile the cord blood glucagon concentration rose(P<0.01). The cord blood insulin concentration and the ratio of insulin over glucagon in case group were respectively positively correlated with the neonatal weight and length, and were negatively correlated with the PI (P<0.01); while the cord glucagon concentration was respectively negatively correlated with the neonatal weight and length, and positively correlated with the P1 (P < 0.01 ).Conclusions In 1CP fetus pancreas, there are hypoinsulinism, glucagon oversecretion, and decrease of the ratio of insulin over glucagon, which is closely correlated with fetal TBA concentration. The endocrine function of fetal pancreas affects the fetal growth and development.%目的 探讨妊娠肝内胆汁淤积症(ICP)孕妇的胎儿总胆酸水平与胎儿胰腺内分泌功能变化的关系及其对胎儿生长发育的影响.方法 选择2007年3月至2008年2月在中南大学湘雅二医院妇产科行剖宫产分娩的30例单胎ICP孕妇为ICP组,同期行剖宫产分娩的30例正常单胎孕妇为对照组.采用放射免疫法测定两组新生儿脐动脉血中胰岛素、胰高糖素水平;循环酶法测定总胆酸水平;氧化酶-过氧化物法测定血糖水平.并测量两组新生儿出生体重、身长,计算肥胖指数(PI).结果 (1)ICP组新生儿脐动脉血中胰岛素水平为(9.0±3.3)mU/L、胰岛素/胰高糖素比值为0.048±0.028,分别低于对照组的(10.1±3.7)mU/L及0.050±0.020,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);ICP组新生儿脐动脉血中总胆酸水平为(10.3±3.8)μmol/L、胰高糖素水平为(235±57)ns/L,分别高于对照组的(4.1±1.3)μmol/L及(205±34)ng/L,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);ICP组新生儿脐动脉血中血糖水平为(3.4±1.1)mmol/L,对照组为(3.6±1.2)mmol/L,两组比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05).(2)ICP组新生儿出生体重及身长分别为(3163±478)g及(46.5±2.3)cm,对照组分别为(3498±393)g及(49.3±1.9)cm,两组分别比较,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.01);ICP组新生儿PI(3.13±0.23)明显高于对照组(2.92±0.29),差异有统计学意义(P<0.01).(3)ICP组新生儿总胆酸水平分别与胰岛素、胰高糖素水平及胰岛素/胰高糖素比值呈直线关系,且随着总胆酸水平的升高,胰岛素水平及胰岛素/胰高糖素比值均降低,胰高糖素水平升高(P<0.01);ICP组新生儿脐动脉血中胰岛素水平及胰岛素/胰高糖素比值分别与出生体重、身长呈正相关,与PI呈负相关(P均<0.01);而胰高糖素水平与出生体重、身长呈负相关,与PI呈正相关(P均<0.01).结论 ICP孕妇的胎儿存在胰岛素分泌不足,胰高糖素分泌增多,胰岛素/胰高糖素比值下降的情况,其变化与脐动脉血总胆酸水平密切相关;胎儿胰腺内分泌功能变化可能影响胎儿的生长发育.
