Objective To investigate the different concentrations of progesterone on the expression of a disintegrin and metalloprotease 10 (ADAM10),long form leptin receptor (Ob-R) and the secretion of soluble leptin receptor (SLR),leptin (LEP) in primary pregnancy human chorionic trophoblast cells. Methods Cultured primary human trophoblast cells and added in different concentrations of progesterone (0,100,150 and 200 ng/mL) for 24 hours. The relative expression of ADAM10 and Ob-R in the cells and the content of SLR and LEP in the supernatant were detected. Results With increasing concentrations of progesterone,early human trophoblast cells ADAM10 content gradual-ly decreased,the difference between the two groups was significant (P<0. 05). With increasing concentrations of progesterone,human chori-onic trophoblast cells in early pregnancy Ob-R expression levels increased, the difference was no statistically significant between each two groups (P>0. 05). SLR content of the cell supernatants as the concentration of progesterone increased and decreased,there are significant differences between each two groups (P>0. 05). LEP cell supernatant in each group with the increase of the concentration of progesterone concentration increased gradually between the two groups were significantly different(P>0. 05). Pearson’s test showed that the expression of expression SLR and LEP exists a significant negative correlation (R= -0. 949,P<0. 01). Conclusion Progesterone may influence the ex-pression of ADAM10,SLR and LEP by the regulation of leptin to participate GDM occurs.

Objective:To observe the clinical outcomes of continued pregnancy in pregnant women with cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the pregnancy outcomes of 55 pregnant women who were diagnosed with CSP at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University during the first trimester of pregnancy from August 1st, 2018 to October 31st, 2021 and strongly requested to continue the pregnancy.Results:Of the 55 pregnant women, 15 terminated the pregnancy in the first trimester, 1 underwent hysterotomy at 23 weeks of gestation due to cervical dilation, and 39 (71%, 39/55) continued pregnancy to the third trimester achieving live births via cesarean section. The gestational age of the 39 pregnant women delivered by cesarean section was 35 +6 weeks (range: 28 +5-39 +2 weeks), of whom 7 cases at 28 +5-33 +6 weeks, 20 cases at 34-36 +6 weeks, and 12 cases at 37-39 +2 weeks. The results of pathological examination were normal placenta in 3 cases (8%, 3/39), placenta creta in 4 cases (10%, 4/39), placenta increta in 9 cases (23%, 9/39) and placenta percreta in 23 cases (59%, 23/39). Among the 36 pregnant women who were pathologically confirmed as placenta accreta spectrum disorders (PAS) after surgery, the last prenatal ultrasonography showed placenta previa in 27 cases (75%, 27/36) and not observed placenta previa in 9 cases. The median intraoperative blood loss, autologous blood transfusion, and allogeneic suspended red blood cell infusion of 39 pregnant women during cesarean section were 1 000 ml (300-3 500 ml), 300 ml (0-2 000 ml) and 400 ml (0-2 400 ml), respectively. The uterine preservation rate was 100% (39/39), and only 1 case received cystostomy due to intracystic hemorrhage. The birth weight of the newborn was 2 580 g (1 350-3 800 g), and 1 case of mild asphyxia. Conclusions:Pregnant women with CSP who continue pregnancy under close monitoring after adequate ultrasound evaluation and doctor-patient communication could achieve better maternal and infant outcomes, but pregnant women with CSP are highly likely to continue pregnancy and develop into PAS. Effective hemostasis means and multidisciplinary team cooperation are needed in perinatal period for ensuring maternal and fetal safety.

OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the adverse effects of drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) drugs on pregnant women and fetuses ,so as to provide evidence-based reference for clinical medication. METHODS PubMed,Cochrane Library,Embase,CBM,CNKI,Wanfang database and VIP were searched by computer to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs),cohort studies ,case-control studies ,case series and case reports about pregnant women exposed to DR-TB drugs. The retrieval time limit was from the establishment of each database to August 20,2021. After selecting the literature and extracting the data,the bias risk assessment tool recommended by 6.2 version of Cochrane system evaluator manual was used to evaluate the quality of the included RCTs ;Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used to evaluate the quality of the included cohort studies and case-control studies ;IHE scale issued by the Canadian Institute of Health Economics (IHE)was used to evaluate the quality of the included case series and case reports. RevMan 5.1 software was used for Meta-analysis of non-comparative binary data. RESULTS A total of 13 literature were included ,including 7 case series and 6 case reports ,involving 203 patients and 204 newborns;among them,there were 6 literature about non-comparative binary data. The results of meta-analysis showed that after exposure to DR-TB drugs,no newborn had birth defects ;the mortality of pregnant women was 0.09[95%CI(0.06,0.15),P<0.000 01];the neonatal mortality was 0.02[95%CI(0,0.06),P<0.000 01];the incidence of preterm birth was 0.14[95%CI(0.03,0.43),P=0.02];the incidence of infants with low birth weight was 0.17[95%CI(0.04,0.51),P=0.06];the incidence of growth retardation was 0.15[95%CI(0.09,0.22),P<0.000 01];the incidence of stillbirth was 0.05[95%CI(0.02,0.09),P<0.000 01];the incidence of abortion was 0.08[95%CI(0.05,0.14),P<0.000 01]. CONCLUSIONS Pregnant women exposed to DR-TB drugs can cause pregnant women ’s death and abortion ,neonatal death ,premature birth ,infants with low birth weight ,growth retardation and stillbirth,but there is no neonatal birth defect ;these adverse outcomes may be related to the history of DR-TB.
