To investigate the relationship between endothelin-1 (ET-1) concentration in amniotic fluid (AF) and perinatal hypoxia.
161 cases were measured for amniotic fluid(AF) ET-1 levels by radioimmunoassay. 110 cases of normal pregnancy were included in control group among which 30 term pregnancies were simultaneously measured for maternal and umbilical plasma ET-1. 51 cases of intrauterine hypoxia were the study group.
(1) The AF ET-1 levels showed increasing trend after 14 weeks (P < 0.01). (2) Fetal plasma ET-1 levels were significantly higher than that of maternal plasma ET-1 levels, but lower than those of AF ET-1 (P < 0.01). The ET-1 levels of umbilical plasma had positive correlation with those of AF ET-1 (r = 0.952, P < 0.01), but there is no correlation with levels of maternal plasma ET-1 (r = 0.338, P < 0.05). (3) In study group, the level of AF ET-1 was elevated with severity of hypoxia, the average level of AF ET-1 in cases of intrauterine hypoxia was (30.654 +/- 5.832) ng/L. In cases of severe neonatal asphyxia it was (960.650 +/- 236.698) ng/L.
The ET-1 exists in AF and gradually increases while pregnancy advanced. AF ET-1 levels can be served as a marker to predict perinatal hypoxia.
探讨羊水内皮素 -1(ET -1)浓度与围产期缺氧的关系。
采用放射免疫法测定161例孕妇羊水ET -1水平。对照组纳入110例正常妊娠孕妇,其中30例足月妊娠孕妇同时测定母血和脐血血浆ET -1。研究组为51例宫内缺氧孕妇。
(1)孕14周后羊水ET -1水平呈上升趋势(P < 0.01)。(2)胎儿血浆ET -1水平显著高于母血血浆ET -1水平,但低于羊水ET -1水平(P < 0.01)。脐血血浆ET -1水平与羊水ET -1水平呈正相关(r = 0.952,P < 0.01),与母血血浆ET -1水平无相关性(r = 0.338,P < 0.05)。(3)研究组中,羊水ET -1水平随缺氧程度加重而升高,宫内缺氧孕妇羊水ET -1平均水平为(30.654 ± 5.832)ng/L。重度新生儿窒息孕妇羊水ET -1平均水平为(960.650 ± 236.698)ng/L。
ET -1存在于羊水中,且随孕周增加而逐渐升高。羊水ET -1水平可作为预测围产期缺氧的指标。
