Abstract:
Objective To determine the relationships between maternal serum copper,amniotic copper,lysyl oxidase (LOX) and collagen Ⅲ in pregnant women with premature rupture of membranes (PROM) and without PROM.Methods One hundred women with PROM were enrolled in this study,and divided into 37-42 weeks,34-36~ +6 weeks and 28-33~ +6 weeks according to gestational age. One hundred non-PROM pregnancies matching the same gestational ages were recruited as control group. Copper of maternal serum and amnion in two groups were compared by FAAS method. Amniotic LOX was analyzed by fluorometry. Amniotic collagen Ⅲ was detected by immunohistochemical method and computer image analysis system(absorbance,A). Linear correlation analysis was used to explore the relationships between maternal serum copper,amniotic copper,LOX and collagen Ⅲ. Results (1)For 37-42 weeks pregnant women,serum copper was correlated positively with amniotic copper in two groups, r= 0.82(P0.05),but amniotic LOX and collagen Ⅲ decreased significantly compared with controls, being [(0.53?0.10)?g/g vs (0.75?0.10)?g/g,P
