Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2021;28(5):703-707
Objective:To investigate the efficacy of magnesium sulfate combined with labetalol on severe preeclampsia and the effects on serum levels of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and pregnancy associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A).Methods:Eighty-five patients with severe preeclampsia who received treatment in Jinhua Municipal Central Hospital between January 2019 and June 2020 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to receive treatment either with magnesium sulfate (control group, n = 42) or magnesium sulfate combined with labetalol (observation group, n = 43). Before and after treatment, 24-hour dynamic blood pressure, 24-hour urinary protein excretion and umbilical artery hemodynamics were determined. In addition, serum levels of sICAM-1, VEGF and PAPP-A were detected. Results:After treatment, 24-hour mean arterial pressure, 24-hour urine protein excretion in the control and observation groups were significantly decreased compared with before treatment. After treatment, the 24-hour mean arterial pressure [(116.45 ± 9.63) mmHg vs. (120.74 ± 9.48) mmHg] and 24-hour urine protein excretion [(1.85 ± 0.52) g vs. (2.33 ± 0.75) g] were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t = 2.069, 3.436, both P < 0.05). The umbilical artery resistance index in the control group, and the peak systolic velocity/end-diastolic velocity ratio and the umbilical artery resistance index in the observation group were significantly decreased after treatment compared with before treatment (all P < 0.05). After treatment, the peak systolic velocity/end-diastolic velocity ratio in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(2.80 ± 0.50) vs. (3.01 ± 0.45), t = 2.034, P < 0.05]. After treatment, serum sICAM-1 and PAPP-A levels were significantly decreased, and serum VEGF level was significantly increased, in each group (all P < 0.05). After treatment, serum levels of sICAM-1 [(548.52 ± 102.74) mg/L vs. (647.52 ± 124.15) mg/L, t = 4.009, P < 0.05] and PAPP-A [(111.74 ± 28.52) U/L vs. (134.24 ± 35.96) U/L, t = 3.200, P < 0.05] in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group, and serum VEGF level in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(32.12 ± 7.45) ng/L vs. (28.17 ± 6.23) ng/L, t =2.659, P < 0.05]. There was no significant difference in the incidence of poor pregnancy outcome between the control and study groups ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:Magnesium sulfate combined with labetalol exhibits good therapeutic effects on severe preeclampsia. The treatment method can improve umbilical artery hemodynamics, and its mechanism may be related to its effect on vascular endothelial function.

Background and purpose: The literature on dose-volume parameters and pneumonitis is extensive. The results are inconsistent, both for the best predictive metrics and significant comorbid factors. This study aimed to investigate a prospective functional equivalent uniform dose (fEUD) with perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images as predictors of radiation pneumonitis (RP) in patients undergoing curative radiotherapy (RT). Methods: Functional lung imaging was performed using SPECT for perfusion imaging. Perfusion factors were defined as the mean percentile perfusion levels of the 4 areas, top to 75%, 75% to 50%, 50% to 25%, 25% to 0%, re-spectively. fEUD was calculated from perfusion factors and standard dose-volume parameters extracted from treatment planning computed tomography (CT) scans. Total lung (TL), ipsilateral (IL) and contralateral lung (CL) volumes minus gross tumor volume (GTV), whole-lung V5, V20, whole lung fEUD, IL and CL fEUD, and general equivalent uniform dose (gEUD) were analyzed to evaluate correlations between RP using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03. Statistical significance was defined as P<0.05. Results: A total of 15 patients treated with intensity modulated RT or 3D conformal RT were analyzed, grades≥3 RP were observed in 6 patients. There was only a trend toward significance for unilateral (UL) fEUD of higher dose side (P=0.007). Whole-lung V5, V20 were almost identical between patients who developed pneumonitis and patients who did not, as the values were below the recommended thresholds from published papers. Unilateral fEUDs were linear with unilateral gEUDs (t=0.815, P=0.000). Conclusion: SPECT-based equivalent uniform dose appears to be a better predictor of RP compared to stan-dard dose-volume parameters. Planning constraints should aim to keep unilateral fEUD below 21 Gy.
