Pentraxin (PTX)-3 is an inflammatory molecule that may be increased in the first trimester in pregnancies with subsequent preeclampsia. We measured first-trimester serum PTX-3 and correlated levels with maternal/placental factors related to placental development.
Prospectively enrolled women had ultrasound, physical examination, and blood draw at 11-14 weeks. PTX-3 determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was related to maternal age, parity, race, body mass index (BMI), mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), smoking/caffeine, and uterine/umbilical artery Doppler pulsatility index (PI).
In 111 patients PTX-3 levels ranged from 0.2-13.8 ng/mL. Spearman correlation between PTX-3 and gestational age (rho = 0.096), maternal age (rho = -0.049), BMI (rho = -0.07), MAP (rho = -0.085), mean uterine artery PI (rho = 0.150), and umbilical artery PI (rho = -0.021) was nonsignificant (all P > .05). Similarly, PTX-3 distribution was unaffected by smoking/caffeine use, BMI >30, MAP >100 mm Hg, or uterine artery notching (P > .05 for all).
First-trimester PTX-3 is unrelated to maternal characteristics and placental Doppler.
五聚体3(PTX-3)是一种炎症分子,在随后发生子痫前期的妊娠早期可能会升高。我们测量了妊娠早期血清PTX-3,并将其水平与胎盘发育相关的母体/胎盘因素进行关联。
前瞻性纳入的女性在孕11至14周时进行超声检查、体格检查及采血。通过酶联免疫吸附测定法测定的PTX-3与母亲年龄、产次、种族、体重指数(BMI)、平均动脉血压(MAP)、吸烟/咖啡因摄入情况以及子宫/脐动脉多普勒搏动指数(PI)相关。
111例患者的PTX-3水平在0.2至13.8 ng/mL之间。PTX-3与孕周(rho = 0.096)、母亲年龄(rho = -0.049)、BMI(rho = -0.07)、MAP(rho = -0.085)、子宫动脉平均PI(rho = 0.150)和脐动脉PI(rho = -0.021)之间的Spearman相关性无统计学意义(所有P >.05)。同样,PTX-3的分布不受吸烟/咖啡因使用、BMI>30、MAP>100 mmHg或子宫动脉切迹的影响(所有P>.05)。
妊娠早期PTX-3与母体特征和胎盘多普勒无关。
