Objective To investigate the induction factors of hypotension during cesarean sec-tion for perilous placenta previa under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia(CSEA)and to construct a nomogram prediction model.Methods A total of 130 parturients who underwent cesarean section for perilous placenta previa under CSEA from January 2020 to December 2023 in Yulin Maternity and Child Healthcare Hospital were selected as study subjects.A self-designed general information ques-tionnaire was used to investigate the basic information and the occurrence of hypotension of the sub-jects.According to the occurrence of intraoperative hypotension,the patients were divided into hypo-tension group(47 cases)and non-hypotension group(83 cases).Univariate analysis was performed on the general information of the two groups,and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the induction factors of intraoperative hypotension.Results Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in body mass index,anesthesia level,presence of multiple pregnancy,preoperative systolic blood pressure,operative time,and the occurrence of Bezold-Ja-risch reflex between the two groups(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that body mass index ≥ 24 kg/m2,anesthesia level was in the eighth thoracic vertebra(T8)or a-bove,multiple pregnancy,preoperative systolic blood pressure<90 mmHg,operative time>1.5 h,and the occurrence of Bezold-Jarisch reflex were independent risk factors for hypotension during ce-sarean section for perilous placenta previa under CSEA(P<0.05).A regression equation for the induction factors of hypotension during cesarean section for perilous placenta previa under CSEA was constructed:Logit(P)=-23.211+1.079 ×(body mass index≥24 kg/m2)+1.101 × anesthesia level(≥T8)+3.193 x multiple pregnancy+2.214 x preoperative systolic blood pressure(<90 mmHg)+4.606 × operative time(>1.5 h)+2.011 × occurrence of Bezold-Jarisch reflex.The nomogram showed high discrimination and accuracy for patients with preoperative systolic blood pres-sure<90 mmHg.After 1,000 times of Bootstrap resampling for the nomogram model,a calibration curve was obtained,and the consistency index was calculated as 0.850,indicating good calibration of the nomogram model.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was plotted,with an ar-ea under the curve of 0.896 and 95%confidence interval of 0.802 to 0.956,suggesting good pre-dictive performance.Conclusion Body mass index ≥24 kg/m2,anesthesia level ≥ T8,multiple pregnancy,preoperative systolic blood pressure<90 mmHg,operative time>1.5 h,and the oc-currence of Bezold-Jarisch reflex are induction factors for hypotension during cesarean section for perilous placenta previa under CSEA.

Objective:To analyze and compare the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of Yes-associated protein (YAP)-positive and negative hepatocytes and further understand the preliminary functional characteristics of YAP-positive hepatocytes in an early mouse model of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with transcriptome sequence (RNA-Seq).Methods:C57BL/6 mice were fed with methionine-choline deficiency (MCD) diet for 2 weeks to establish an early NASH model, and the control group was fed with normal diet. Liver tissue was stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and Sirius red, and the pathological score was recorded. The expression of YAP and P-YAP were determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in liver tissues. Primary hepatocytes with viability greater than 90% were isolated and purified by collagenase perfusion combined with Percoll density gradient centrifugation. YAP-positive and negative hepatocytes were assessed by YAP antibody, flow cytometry and RNA-Seq analyses. Sequencing results were screened by GO, KEGG and interaction network analysis methods. RT-PCR was used to verify the expression levels of YAP and some DEGs in liver tissue model group. Two samples mean was compared by independent samples t-test. Results:Compared with the control group, the HE-stained liver tissue of MCD-induced mice at 2 weeks showed steatosis (pathological score 1.07±0.21), accompanied by lobular inflammation (pathological score 1.13±0.32) and ballooned hepatocyte (pathological score 0.80) ±0.20). Sirius red staining showed non-significant liver fibrosis (pathological score 0.40±0.40). IHC showed partial YAP-positive hepatocytes expression in an early stage of NASH. RNA-Seq analysis showed that clean reads of YAP-positive and negative hepatocytes were 49 310 604 and 5 4820 036, respectively. Compared with YAP-negative hepatocytes, YAP-positive hepatocytes had differential expression of 5 565 genes, including 1 662 up-regulated genes and 3 903 down-regulated genes. GO analysis of up-regulated genes showed that the metabolic processes related to mitochondrial functions, such as purine nucleoside triphosphate and nucleoside triphosphate were significantly enriched in biological processes (BP), while down-regulated gene analysis showed that olfactory-related receptor were significantly enriched in BP. KEGG analysis showed that DEGs were enriched in 292 pathways, and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) pathway was significantly enriched in signaling pathway. RT-PCR validated that inflammatory factors (interleukin-1β, interleukin-6), YAP and its target genes (Cyr61, Ankrd1), and Cox5b and Sdhc genes were significantly up-regulated in the OXPHOS pathway, which was consistent with the sequencing results. In addition, eight key genes with interaction network analysis were predicted.Conclusion:Changes in hepatocyte metabolic levels may be associated with increased YAP activity in an early stage of NASH.
