To investigate possible delivery-related impaired neonatal hepatocellular integrity by assessment of arterial and venous umbilical cord plasma levels of glutathione S-transferase Alpha 1-1.
Glutathione S-transferase Alpha 1-1 levels were assessed in arterial and venous umbilical cord, and maternal venous plasma samples. The influence of maternal, delivery, and neonatal characteristics on arterial umbilical cord glutathione S-transferase Alpha 1-1 levels was studied, using linear regression analysis after log-transformation.
Median (range) arterial umbilical cord glutathione S-transferase Alpha 1-1 plasma levels were higher than venous umbilical cord levels (9.68 [0.64-1125] microg/L and 7.66 [0.78-987.5] microg/L, respectively, P < .005). Median (range) arterial and venous umbilical cord glutathione S-transferase Alpha 1-1 levels were higher than, and did not correlate with, maternal venous plasma levels (8.79 [1.79-183] microg/L and 6.47 [1.58-164.5] microg/L versus 1.47 [0.46-10.4] microg/L, P < .001). Neonates born vaginally demonstrated higher median (range) levels than those delivered by cesarean (13.41 [1.02-1125] microg/L and 5.73 [0.64-172.90] microg/L, respectively, P < .001). Neonates with unfavorable pH (arterial pH under 7.20) demonstrated higher median (range) levels than those with normal pH (arterial pH at least 7.20) (15.15 [0.77-1125] microg/L and 8.82 [0.64-120.90] microg/L, respectively, P < .001). Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis showed that birth weight had the largest influence on arterial umbilical cord glutathione S-transferase Alpha 1-1 levels, followed by arterial base deficit, and route of delivery.
Arterial umbilical cord glutathione S-transferase Alpha 1-1 plasma levels, being unrelated to maternal venous levels, might give a reliable impression of early neonatal hepatocellular integrity and may become an additional indicator of neonatal condition immediately after birth.
通过评估脐动脉血和脐静脉血中谷胱甘肽S-转移酶α1-1的水平,研究与分娩相关的新生儿肝细胞完整性受损的可能性。
对脐动脉血、脐静脉血和母静脉血样本中的谷胱甘肽S-转移酶α1-1水平进行评估。采用对数转换后的线性回归分析,研究母亲、分娩及新生儿特征对脐动脉血谷胱甘肽S-转移酶α1-1水平的影响。
脐动脉血中谷胱甘肽S-转移酶α1-1的血浆水平中位数(范围)高于脐静脉血(分别为9.68[0.64 - 1125]μg/L和7.66[0.78 - 987.5]μg/L,P <.005)。脐动脉血和脐静脉血中谷胱甘肽S-转移酶α1-1水平的中位数(范围)高于母静脉血血浆水平,且与母静脉血血浆水平无相关性(分别为8.79[1.79 - 183]μg/L和6.47[1.58 - 164.5]μg/L,而母静脉血为1.47[0.46 - 10.4]μg/L,P <.001)。经阴道分娩的新生儿谷胱甘肽S-转移酶α1-1水平中位数(范围)高于剖宫产分娩的新生儿(分别为13.41[1.02 - 1125]μg/L和5.73[0.64 - 172.90]μg/L,P <.001)。pH值异常(动脉血pH值低于7.20)的新生儿谷胱甘肽S-转移酶α1-1水平中位数(范围)高于pH值正常(动脉血pH值至少为7.20)的新生儿(分别为15.15[0.77 - 1125]μg/L和8.82[0.64 - 120.90]μg/L,P <.001)。逐步多元线性回归分析显示,出生体重对脐动脉血谷胱甘肽S-转移酶α1-1水平影响最大,其次是动脉碱缺失和分娩方式。
脐动脉血中谷胱甘肽S-转移酶α1-1的血浆水平与母静脉血水平无关,可能是早期新生儿肝细胞完整性的可靠指标,且可能成为出生后即刻评估新生儿状况的一项附加指标。
