Effect of low molecular weight heparin therapy on maternal endothelial injury and placental pathological injury after hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy

摘要

Objective: To study the effect of low molecular weight heparin therapy on maternal endothelial injury and placental pathological injury after hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy. Methods: A total of 70 patients with hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy who were treated in the hospital between September 2014 and May 2016 were divided into control group and observation group according to the random number table method, 35 cases in each group. Control group received conventional therapy, the observation group received low molecular weight heparin combined with conventional therapy, and both therapies lasted until delivery. The differences in the levels of endothelial injury indexes in serum as well as the expression of oxidative stress indexes and apoptosis molecules in the placental grinding fluid were compared between the two groups of patients. Results: After treatment, serum ET and VCAM-1 levels of both groups of patients were lower than those before treatment while NO and PGE levels were higher than those before treatment, and serum ET and VCAM-1 levels of observation group were lower than those of control group while NO and PGE levels were higher than those of control group; after delivery, AOPP and MDA levels in placental grinding fluid were significantly lower than those of control group while SOD and GSH-Px levels were higher than those of control group; Fas, p53 and caspase-3 mRNA expression in placental grinding fluid were lower than those of control group while Bcl-2 and bax mRNA expression were higher than those of control group. Conclusion: Adjuvant low molecular weight heparin therapy can help to reduce the maternal endothelial injury, reduce the systemic oxidative stress and suppress the placental cell apoptosis in patients with hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy.
