ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific multi-system disease with multi-factor and multi-mechanism characteristics. The cure for preeclampsia is to terminate the pregnancy and deliver the placenta. However, it will reduce the perinatal survival rate, prolong the pregnancy cycle, and increase the incidence of maternal complications. With relaxation of the birth policy, the number of elderly pregnant women has increased significantly, and the prevalence rate of preeclampsia has increased. Inappropriate treatment can seriously affect the normal postpartum life of pregnant women. Studies have shown that postpartum anxiety in women with preeclampsia can affect physical and mental health, as well as infant growth and development. AIM: To analyze the factors influencing preeclampsia in pregnant women complicated with postpartum anxiety, and to construct a personalized predictive model. METHODS: We retrospectively studied 528 pregnant women with preeclampsia who delivered in Wenzhou Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine between January 2018 and December 2021. Their basic data were collected, and various physiological and biochemical indicators were obtained by laboratory examination. The self-rating anxiety scale was used to determine whether the women had postpartum anxiety 42 d after delivery. The independent factors influencing postpartum anxiety in early pregnant women with eclampsia were analyzed with multifactor logistic regression and a predictive model was constructed. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used to evaluate the calibration and discrimination of the predictive model. Eighty pregnant women with preeclampsia admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to May 2022 were retrospectively selected to verify the prediction model. RESULTS: We excluded 46 of the 528 pregnant women with preeclampsia because of loss to follow-up and adverse outcomes. A total of 482 cases completed the assessment of postpartum anxiety 42 d after delivery, and 126 (26.14%) had postpartum anxiety. Bad marital relationship, gender discrimination in family members, hematocrit (Hct), estradiol (E2) hormone and interleukin (IL)-6 were independent risk factors for postpartum anxiety in pregnant women with preeclampsia (P < 0.05). Prediction model: Logit (P) = 0.880 × marital relationship + 0.870 × gender discrimination of family members + 0.130 × Hct - 0.044 × E2 + 0.286 × IL-6 - 21.420. The area under the ROC curve of the model was 0.943 (95% confidence interval: 0.919-0.966). The threshold of the model was -1.507 according to the maximum Youden index (0.757), the corresponding sensitivity was 84.90%, and the specificity was 90.70%. Hosmer-Lemeshow χ2 = 5.900, P = 0.658. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the model were 81.82%, 84.48% and 83.75%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Poor marital relationship, family gender discrimination, Hct, IL-6 and E2 are the influencing factors of postpartum anxiety in preeclampsia women. The constructed prediction model has high sensitivity and specificity.
ABSTRACT
The study investigates the diagnostic efficacy of ultrasound combined with the molybdenum target mode in breast cancer staging and the relationship between blood flow parameters and the expression of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and factor 2 (IGF-2) and prognosis. A total of 96 patients admitted to hospital from January 2020 to January 2021 are included in the breast cancer group, and 58 patients admitted to our hospital during the same period are included in the control group, who are diagnosed with benign breast lesions. All patients receive clinicopathological diagnosis, ultrasound detection, and X-ray molybdenum detection. Ultrasound detection, molybdenum target detection, ultrasound combined with the molybdenum target detection mode, and clinicopathological diagnosis results are compared. B-ultrasound combined with the molybdenum target detection mode has high efficiency in diagnosing breast cancer and differentiating pathological stages. Besides, blood flow parameters of patients are closely related to IGF-1 and IGF-2, and IGF-1 and IGF-2 expressions are closely related to the prognosis of patients. Subsequent diagnosis of the disease degree of breast cancer patients can be carried out by ultrasound combined with the molybdenum target detection mode. In addition, the expression of IGF-1 and IGF-2 in patients can be monitored to improve the clinical diagnosis and treatment plan to improve the prognosis of patients, which has a high clinical application value and is worth promoting.

BACKGROUND: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) reflects a deficiency in the relative need for insulin during pregnancy, as well as temporary metabolic stress in the placenta and fetus. Our study aimed to research the potential diagnostic value of transforming growth factor-beta-induced protein ig-h3 (TGFBI) and transforming growth factor beta-2 proprotein (TGFB2) for GDM patients. METHODS: Online database Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) was used to screen for different expressed genes (DEGs) associated with GDM. Meanwhile, KEGG and GO were used to analyze the molecular functions as well as pathways of enriched DEGs. One hundred ten pregnant women diagnosed with GDM and 110 healthy controls were enrolled, of whose placenta and fasting venous blood samples were collected. mRNA expression levels were determined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), and fasting blood glucose (FBG) was measured by the clinical lab of hospital. Furthermore, receiver operating characteristics curve (ROC) analysis was performed to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of detection indexed in the placenta and plasma of GDM patients. Finally, Pearson and Spearman analysis was used for the correlation analysis. RESULTS: After GEO data analysis, TGFBI and TGFB2 were identified as the most significantly up-regulated genes of GDM. TGFBI and TGFB2 expressions in placenta and plasma samples of GDM patients were in line with bioinformatic analysis. Meanwhile, the area under the curve (AUC) of TGFBI in the placenta and plasma for the diagnosis of GDM were 0.8783 (95% CI, 0.8281 to 0.9284) and 0.7832 (95% CI, 0.7215 to 0.8449) while for TGFB2 were 0.9225 (95% CI, 0.8829 to 0.9621) and 0.8961 (95% CI, 0.8526 to 0.9396). Besides, levels of TGFBI along with TGFB2 in the placenta were positively correlated with that in the plasma of GDM patients. Furthermore, both TGFBI and TGFB2 expressions in the plasma were positively correlated with FBG levels of the GDM patients. CONCLUSIONS: TGFBI and TGFB2 were up-regulated in the placenta and plasma of GDM patients, and TGFBI and TGFB2 in the plasma are potent to be diagnostic markers for the GDM.
