Objective To unmask clues for the investigation of PIH pathogenesis by detecting the altered gene expression profile of placentas from PIH patients. Methods Clinical data and placentas were collected from 42 PIH patients and 22 normotensive pregnancies in seclective cesarean section to construct PIH database from Mar. 2001 to Sep. 2002 in Xi’an district. Suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) was performed to set the subtractive cDNA library and differential screening was used to identify the positive clones;insertion of positive clones were sequenced by T7 primer method. RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry were employed to confirm the putative gene inhibin A expression. Results A database was set up that consists of pre- and postpartum clinical data and placenta samples of 42 preeclamptic pregnancies and 22 normotensive ones From which,150 features of placental tissue microarray were made. One hundred and three positive clones were isolated by SSH and differential screening. Sequencing and BLAST analysis showed that 90 insertion shared more than 95% homology with sequences in the GenBank/EMBL database. We identified 36 putative genes including pregnancy-specific glycoproteins gene (BC005924),serine protease inhibitor gene (BC012868),VEGFR-1 gene (AF063657),cytokeratine 7 gene(CK7) (AF509887),etc. Inhibin beta A gene was highly expressed in placentas in PIH patients. Conclusion The gene expression profile in PIH placenta was greatly changed;it might be necessary to investigate the role of VEGFR1,serine protease inhibitor,inhibin and CK7 in the pathogenesis of PIH.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and the risk of major adverse cardiac events within 1 year of middle-aged and elderly in-patients with acute decompensated and mid-range ejection fraction heart failure(HF)in the medical alliance setting.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted among a total of 180 in-patients with acute decompensated heart failure in Cardiovascular Hexi Hospital Consulting Area of Tianjin Chest Hospital.According to ejection fraction measured by echocardiogram, the in-patients were classified into three groups: heart failure with reduced ejection fraction(HFrEF)group(n=70, 38.9%), HFmEF group(n=50, 27.8%), and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction(HFpEF)group(n=60, 33.3%). Clinical feature and 1-year prognosis between different groups were compared.Results:Univariate Cox regression analysis of 1-year all-cause death and cardiovascular death showed that there was no significant difference between HFrEF group and HFmEF group, HFpEF group and HFmEF group(all P>0.05); 1-year readmission analysis of heart failure showed that 47.1%(33 cases)of HFrEF group was higher than 24.0%(12 cases)of HFmEF group, 48.3%(29 cases)of HFpEF group was higher than HFmEF group( HR=2.307, 2.368, 95% CI: 0.187-4.480, 1.207-4.644, respectively, all P<0.05); The major 1-year cardiovascular events were 57.1%(40 cases)higher in the HFrEF group than 34.0%(17 cases)in the HFmEF group( HR=2.053, 95% CI: 0.187-4.408, P< 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the 1-year risk of major cardiovascular events was significantly different between HFmEF group and HFpEF group( HR=0.477, 95% CI: 0.241-0.941, P< 0.05). Pulmonary heart disease( P< 0.05), atrial flutter and/or atrial fibrillation( P< 0.01), New York Cardiology class Ⅳ( P< 0.01)were risk factors for death.Hypertension and cor pulmonale were the risk factors for readmission in patients with heart failure(all P< 0.01). Conclusions:The clinical characteristics of inpatients with HFmEF in the medical alliance setting tended to be consistent with those with HFrEF, while the feature of ischemic heart disease was more prominent in HFmEF.The 1-year risk of heart failure readmission in HFmEF group was significantly lower than that in HFpEF and HFrEF group, and the risk of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality at 1 year was not significantly different among the three groups.
