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.

To explore one-step method for the preparation of Ganoderma lucidum multicomponent microemulsion, according to the dissolution characteristics of triterpenes and polysaccharides in Ganoderma lucidum, formulation of the microemulsion was optimized. The optimal blank microemulsion was used as a solvent to sonicate the Ganoderma lucidum powder to prepare the multicomponent microemulsion, besides, its physicochemical properties were compared with the microemulsion made by conventional method. The results showed that the multicomponent microemulsion was characterized as (43.32 +/- 6.82) nm in size, 0.173 +/- 0.025 in polydispersity index (PDI) and -(3.98 +/- 0.82) mV in zeta potential. The contents of Ganoderma lucidum triterpenes and polysaccharides were (5.95 +/- 0.32) and (7.58 +/- 0.44) mg x mL(-1), respectively. Sonicating Ganoderma lucidum powder by blank microemulsion could prepare the multicomponent microemulsion. Compared with the conventional method, this method is simple and low cost, which is suitable for industrial production.
