Objective:To analyze the predictive value of combined detection of color ultrasound parameters,coagulation indicators and soluble leukocyte antigen G (sHLA-G) on pregnancy outcomes of patients with threatened abortion after tocolysis. Methods:A total of 100 patients,who met the diagnostic condition of threatened abortion and admitted to Dongguan People's Hospital Xiegang Branch between January 2019 and January 2021,were selected. They were divided into success group and failure group according to pregnancy outcomes after tocolysis,with 50 cases in each group. The color ultrasound parameters,coagulation indicators and sHLA-G levels were measured,and logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used to analyze predictive value of the above indicators on the pregnancy outcomes of patients with threatened abortion after tocolysis. Results:The inner diameter of the yolk sac (5.37±1.02) ml and sHLA-G level (65.37±12.38)U/ml in success group were significantly higher than yolk sac and sHLA-G level in failure group,and the differences were statistically significant (t=12.566,19.989,P<0.05),respectively. The resistance index (RI) and D-dimer (D-D) levels of success group were significantly lower than those of failure group,and the differences were statistically significant (t=20.344,17.603,P<0.05),respectively. The inner diameter of the yolk sac,RI,D-D and sHLA-G were risk factors that affected the pregnancy outcome of patients with threatened abortion after tocolysis (OR=2.349,2.115,2.266,2.21,P<0.05),respectively. The sensitivity,specificity,accuracy and area under curve (AUC) of the combined detection of inner diameter of yolk sac,RI,D-D and sHLA-G in predicting pregnancy outcomes of patients with threatened abortion after tocolysis were 96.00%,98.00%,97.00% and 0.991,respectively,which were significantly higher than those of the singly each indicator (t=2.514,3.628,4.258,6.134,P<0.05). Conclusion:The combined detection of inner diameter of yolk sac,coagulation indicators and sHLA-G has predictive value for the pregnancy outcomes of patients with threatened abortion after tocolysis. Moreover,the combined detection of inner diameter of yolk sac,RI,D-D and sHLA-G levels can significantly improve the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of prediction.

Objective To explore the influence of Clostridium butyricum on the expression of vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor 2 (VEGFR-2), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), and tight junction protein claudin-2 in intestinal tissue in newborn rat with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Methods Forty-eight-hour-old Sprague-Dewley (SD) rats were randomly divided into model group, control group, low-dose group, mid-dose group, and high-dose group, 12 rats each. Rats in each group were fed with milk substitute. The NEC model were created by hypoxia and cold stimulation for 3 consecutive days in model group, low-dose group, mid-dose group, and high-dose group. Meanwhile, low-dose group, mid-dose group, and high-dose group were intervened by being fed with Clostridium butyricum 0.2, 0.4, and 0.8 g/(kg·d), respectively. All rats in each group were sacriifced on day 4 and the intestines tissue was obtained. The pathological changes had been observed. The expression of VEGF, PCNA, and claudin-2 were detected by immunohistochemistry. The expression of VEGFR-2 was detected by RT-PCR. Results The intestines pathological scores was signiifcantly different among ifve groups (P0 . 05 ) with the scores being higher in model group than in low-dose group, mid-dose group, high-dose, group and control group, and being higher in all intervention groups than in control group (P all?0 . 05 ). The expressions of VEGF, VEGFR-2 , and claudin-2 in model group were higher than those in all intervention groups and control group with them being higher in all intervention group than in control group (P all?0 . 05 ). The expression of PCNA in model group was lower than those in all intervention groups and control group with it being lower in all intervention groups than that in control group (P all?0 . 05 ). The expression of VEGF, VEGF-2 , PCNA, and claudin-2 were no different among intervention groups (P all?>?0 . 05 ). Conclusion The expression of VEGF, VEGF-2 , and claudin-2 were higher in rats with NEC, while the expression of PCNA was lower. Supplementation of Clostridium butyricum may protect newborn rats by its act on these factors.
