Objective To analysis the characteristics of thromboelastography and coagulation test in patients with advanced pregnancy combined with severe preeclampsia. Methods A retrospective single?center study was conducted. 35 patients with advanced pregnancy combined with se?vere preeclampsia who were admitted to hospital from January 2012 to December 2014 were analyzed compared to 43 third trimester patients with?out any complication. All the patients were treated based on the routine strategy. Blood sample were taken from the middle elbow vein to test blood cell count,serum biochemistry test,routine coagulation test and thromboelastography. All the results,including R,K,CI,α?angle and MA value, were compared between two groups. Analysis was performed to evaluate the correlation between all parameters of TEG and coagulation test. Re?sults There was no statistical significance between two groups in age ,prothrombin time and activated partial prothrombin time. In the severe pre?eclampsia group,the R value of TEG was increased(5.21±1.20 min vs 6.19±1.55 min,t=-3.144,P=0.002),α?angel was decreased(64.43°± 7.90° vs 60.37°±7.09°,t=2.367,P=0.02),and CI was decreased(0.81±2.27 vs-0.37±1.82,t=2.495,P=0.015). In blood cell count test,the platelets count was decreased in severe preeclampsia group[(217.48±65.68)×109/L vs(166.65±61.39)×109/L,t=3.500,P=0.001]. In routine coagulation test,only thrombin clotting time was increased in severe preeclampsia group(14.59±0.51 s vs 15.28±0.97 s,F=-3.800,P<0.001). In serum biochemistry test,the albumin was decreased in severe preeclampsia group(34.75±3.90 g/L vs 28.77±4.05 g/L,t=6.632,P<0.001),while serum urea nitrogen was increased(2.78±0.87 mmol/L vs 5.98±8.07 mmol/L,F=-2.333,P=0.026). In correlation analysis,thrombin clot?ting time had relationship between R(r=0.290,P=0.010),CI(r=-0.257,P=0.023)andα?angle(r=-0.243,P=0.032). Platelets count cor?related with CI(r=0.383,P=0.001),K(r=-0.409,P<0.001),α?angle(r=0.375,P=0.001)and MA(r=0.512,P<0.001). Conclusion For those who suffered from severe preeclampsia patients with advanced pregnancy,low coagulation function occurs in most of the patients com?pared to those patients without any complications. Thromboelastography may be helpful for those who have high risk factors ,especially with low platelets count and increased thrombin clotting time ,so as to reduce the incidence of bleeding or thromboembolic diseases.

Objective:To investigate the inhibitory effect of indocyanine green (ICG) on biological behavior and transdifferentiation of human lens epithelial cells (HLECs) and its mechanism.Methods:HLECs were divided into blank control group, 5% glucose solution (GS) group and 0.5% ICG group, 1.5% ICG group and 2.5% ICG group, which were treated with balanced salt solution, 5% GS and 0.5%, 1.5% and 2.5% ICG solutions for 3 minutes, respectively, and then were incubated in fresh medium for 24 hours.The apoptosis level of HLECs was detected by flow cytometry.The expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins, Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), caspase-3 and caspase-9 were detected by Western blot.Cell proliferation was detected via the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) incorporation assay.The migration ability of HLECs was detected by cell scratch assay.Cell migration and invasion were determined by Transwell assays.The expression levels transdifferentiation-related proteins, α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), nerve calcium adhesion protein (N-cadherin), fibronectin (FN) and vimentin were assessed by Western blot.Results:The apoptosis rates of blank control group, 5% GS group, 0.5% ICG group, 1.5% ICG group and 2.5% ICG group were (4.35±0.60)%, (4.63±0.19)%, (8.17±0.69)%, (13.90±0.33)% and (23.08±1.12)%, with a statistically significant difference in the overall comparison ( F=412.74, P<0.05). The apoptosis rate was significantly higher in 0.5% ICG group, 1.5% ICG group and 2.5% ICG group than in blank control group and 5% GS group (all at P<0.05). The relative expressions of caspase-3, caspase-9 and Bax proteins were significantly higher in 0.5% ICG group, 1.5% ICG group and 2.5% ICG group than in blank control group and 5% GS group, and the relative expression of Bcl-2 protein was lower in 1.5% ICG group and 2.5% ICG group than in blank control group and 5% GS group, and the differences were statistically significant (all at P<0.05). The rate of EdU-positive cells was significantly lower in 0.5% ICG group, 1.5% ICG group and 2.5% ICG groups than in blank control group and 5% GS group (all at P<0.05). The survival rate of cells was significantly lower in 0.5% ICG group, 1.5% ICG group and 2.5% ICG group than in blank control group and 5% GS group (all at P<0.05). The migration rates of scratch cells were significantly lower in 0.5% ICG group, 1.5% ICG group and 2.5% ICG group than in blank control group and 5% GS group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The number of migrating cells and the number of invading cells were significantly lower in 0.5% ICG group, 1.5% ICG group and 2.5% ICG group than in blank control group and 5% GS group (all at P<0.05). The relative expressions of α-SMA, N-cadherin and FN were significantly lower in 0.5% ICG group, 1.5% ICG group and 2.5% ICG group than in blank control group and 5% GS group, and the relative expression of vimentin was lower in 1.5% ICG group and 2.5% ICG group than in blank control group and 5% GS group, and the differences were statistically significant (all at P<0.05). Conclusions:ICG can promote HLECs apoptosis and inhibit HLECs proliferation, migration, invasion and transdifferentiation in a concentration-dependent manner.
