Abstract:
Objective To observe the difference and clinical significance of expression levels of microRNA-155(miR-155)mRNA and interleukin-6(IL-6)in very preterm neonates with preeclampsia.Methods Twenty-eight cases of very preterm newborns(gestational age<32 weeks and/or body weight<1500 g)from preeclampsia pregnant women admitted to the department of obstetrics of Liaocheng People's Hospital from January to December 2021 were selected as the observation group,and 26 cases of very preterm neonates hospitalized for other reasons during the same period were selected as the control group.Electronic medical record clinical data related to children were collected,and the differences between the two groups were compared,including general conditions of preterm infants and pregnant mothers(gender,gestational age,birth weight,preeclampsia or not),proportion of invasive ventilation,proportion of bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD),incidence of acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS)and early-onset sepsis,white blood cell count(WBC),neutrophil count(NEUT),and expression of miR-155 mRNA and IL-6 levels in the serum of umbilical arterial blood after birth.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between miR-155 and IL-6 levels Results The birth body weight of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group(kg:1.21±0.22 vs.1.32±0.33,P<0.05),the proportion of invasive ventilation,the proportion of BPD,the incidence of ARDS and sepsis were significantly higher than those in the control group[the proportion of invasive ventilation:75.0%(21/28)vs.57.7%(15/26),the proportion of BPD:35.7%(10/28)vs.11.5%(3/26),incidence of ARDS:100.0%(28/28)vs.84.6%(22/26),incidence of sepsis:71.4%(20/28)vs.53.8%(14/26),all P<0.05],the level of miR-155 mRNA expression and IL-6 were significantly higher than those in the control group[miR-155 mRNA(2-ΔΔCt):0.93±0.18 vs.0.17±0.03,IL-6(ng/L):73.84(33.44,429.00)vs.19.05(9.30,47.20),both P<0.05].Pearson correlation analysis showed that miR-155 and IL-6 levels were significantly positively correlated(r=0.782,P<0.01).With the extension of birth time,both WBC and NEUT gradually decreased in the two groups,and there were statistically significant differences in WBC and NEUT at each time point after birth,with counts significantly lower at 48 hours and 72 hours compared to 24 hours after birth(both P<0.05).The WBC of the observation group at 24,48 and 72 hours after birth was significantly lower than that of the control group(×109/L:7.85±2.44 vs.12.28±6.81 at 24 hours after birth,7.31±3.53 vs.10.98±7.91 at 48 hours after birth,4.97±2.05 vs.7.82±4.65 at 72 hours after birth,all P<0.05),NEUT in observation group was significantly lower than of control group at 24 hours and 48 hours after birth(×109/L:24 hours after birth was 4.13±1.93 vs.7.45±5.67,48 hours after birth was 3.96±2.64 vs.6.89±6.24,both P<0.05).Conclusion The expression level of miR-155 mRNA and IL-6 in very preterm neonates with preeclampsia is significantly up-regulated at the time of birth,and the inflammatory response of the body is disturbed,which has certain value for early assessment of the disease.
