Serum Expression of ESM-1, HMWA, and AGEs and Its Relationship with Disease Severity in Patients with Gestational Hypertension. (9th December 2021) - Yan, Yun
Abstract : Objective . The research is to investigate the expression and the relationship between serum endothelial cell-specific molecular molecule-1 (ESM-1), high molecular weight adiponectin (HMWA), and late glycosylation terminal product (AGEs) in patients with gestational hypertension. Methods . 75 patients with pregnant hypertension who were treated in our hospital from June 2019 to June 2020 were selected as the case group, and 70 healthy pregnant women with pregnancy examination at the same period in our hospital were selected as the control group to analyze the changes in serum ESM-1, HMWA, and AGEs levels and the correlation with the degree of illness and their predictive value. Results . Serum ESM-1 and AGEs were significantly higher in the case group than in the control group. Serum HMWA was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05 ). The gestational hypertensive serum ESM-1 and AGEs was significantly lower than in patients with mild preeclampsia and severe preeclampsia. Serum HMWA was significantly higher than in patients with mild preeclampsia and severe preeclampsia. Serum ESM-1 and AGEs of mild preeclampsia were significantly lower than in patients with severe preeclampsia. Serum HMWA was significantly higher than in patients with severe preeclampsia (P < 0.05 ). The result of correlation analysis shows a positive correlation between serum ESM-1 and AGEs (P < 0.05 ). A negative correlation was observed between HMWA and the degree of illness (P < 0.05 ). Conclusion . Serum ESM-1, HMWA, and AGEs are abnormally expressed in gestational hypertension, are closely related to the degree of condition, and have important clinical significance for condition control.
