Objective To investigate the role of S100 calcium binding protein A12 (S100A12) in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. Methods Sixty patients with preeclampsia were recruited from March 2013 to December 2013 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. Among them, thirty cases were defined as the mild preeclampsia group and thirty cases were defined as the severe preeclampsia group. The other thirty healthy pregnant women were recruited in the healthy pregnant women group. The levels of S100A12 protein in maternal peripheral blood were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Immunohistochemistry of streptavidin peroxidase biotin (SP) method was used to measure the protein expression of S100A12. The trophoblast cells were cultured in vitro with plasma from the three groups, and a blank control group was set up as well. Transwell was used to detect the cytotrophoblast invasion ability. Western blot was used to measure the protein expression level of receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE). Results (1) The levels of S100A12 in maternal peripheral blood of patients with preeclampisa [mild group:(30.8 ± 2.7)μg/L, severe group:(49.3 ± 4.1)μg/L] were significantly higher than that of the control group [(15.8 ± 1.4) μg/L]. In addition, compared with the mild preeclampsia group, the level of S100A12 in the severe preeclampsia group was significantly higher (P<0.05). (2)Positive immunostaining of S100A12 was observed in the cytoplasm of cytotrophoblast, decidual cells and the placentas from the three groups. The positive rate in the mild preeclampisa group was 77%(23/30);in the severe preeclampsia group it was 93%(28/30);and in the healthy pregnant women group it was 23%(7/30). The positive rates of placenta in the mild and severe preeclampsia groups were significantly higher than that in the healthy pregnant women group (P<0.05). In addition, compared with the mild preeclampsia group, the positive rate of immunostaining of S100A12 in the severe group was significantly higher (P<0.05).(3) Cytotrophoblast invasion ability and the expression of RAGE in the mild preeclampsia group were 29.1±3.2 and 0.479 ± 0.038, respectively;in the severe preeclampsia group they were 16.8 ± 2.5 and 0.652 ± 0.059;in the healthy pregnant women group they were 38.6 ± 24.3 and 0.327 ± 0.024; and in the blank control group they were 42.6 ± 5.6 and 0.194 ± 0.011. Cytotrophoblast invasion ability and the expression of RAGE protein in the mild and severe preeclampsia groups were significantly higher than those in the healthy pregnant women group and the control group(P<0.05). Conclusions The expression of S100A12 increased in materal peripheral blood and placenta, and the receptor protein of S100A12 RAGE also had high expression. It suggested that the S100A12 may have some effect on the pathogenesis of preeclampsia.

Objective To study the operative technique and effect of temporary balloon occlusion of the abdominal aorta for preventing intraoperative bleeding during cesarean for patients with pernicious placenta previa and placenta accreta. Methods Retrospective analysis was conducted on the intraoperative situation of forty-one cases and information of follow-up twenty-nine cases, which were pernicious placenta previa and placenta accreta and delivered in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from May 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014. Diagnosis was confirmed by line of color Doppler ultrasound and MRI for all patients before operations. An interventional physician performed right femoral artery puncture and preset the abdominal aortic balloon catheter in the digital subtraction angiography operation room before cesarean. At the same time of fetal delivery, 10 ml normal saline was injected into the balloon immediately, which results in filling of the balloon and blocking of the aorta. According to the area and depth of placenta implantation and implantation or penetration of the posterior bladder wall, placenta separation, partial resection of the uterine wall and partial bladder resection and repair were performed correspondingly. Meanwhile, saline in the balloon was pumped out gradually until empty. Condition of placenta implantation, blood loss and blood transfusion volume during the operation, intraoperative and postoperative complications, the duration and dose of fetal radiation exposure, and Apgar score of neonates were analyzed. Results Among the 41 cases, penetrative placenta and implanted placenta were observed in five cases and 36 cases, respectively. The latter 36 cases including 28 cases of bladder posterior wall accreta and eight cases of bladder posterior wall penetration. For all cases, the average operation time was (68.5±15.3) min, the mean blood loss in the operation was (1 058±960) ml, among which eight received blood transfusion with an average of (600±400) ml, and the mean hospital stay was (8.2±2.3) d. Uteruses were reserved in all cases. The mean duration and dose of fetal radiation exposure was (8.1±3.6) s and (5.2±2.9) mGy, and the Apgar score of neonates was 8.7±0.5 at 1 min and 9.5±0.3 at 5 min, respectively. The patients were followed up until October 31, 2014. Among them, six were lost, six were still in puerperium, 18 were breast-feeding, and the menses of 11 had returned. Conclusion Preset abdominal aortic balloon catheter in pernicious placenta previa and placenta accrete patients might effectively reduce the blood loss during cesarean section as well as the risk of hysterectomy through temporary occlusion of the abdominal aorta.
