Abstract:Objective To investigate the relationship between serum STOX1, soluble Fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) and state of illness and pregnancy outcome in patients with preeclampsia (PE). Methods Totally 92 patients with PE who were treated in our hospital from June 2017 to June 2018 were enrolled. Among them, 50 patients with mild PE were included in the mild PE group and 42 patients with severe PE were included in the severe PE group. Another 50 healthy pregnant women who underwent maternity examination in the hospital during the same period were selected as healthy control group. The mean arterial pressure, 24 h urine protein quantitation and serum STOX1, sFlt-1 levels and pregnancy outcome were compared in the three groups. The correlation between serum STOX1 and sFlt-1 levels and mean arterial pressure and 24 h urine protein quantitation were analyzed. The influencing factors of adverse pregnancy outcomes in patients with PE were analyzed. Results After t-test, the mean arterial pressure, 24 h urine protein quantitation and serum STOX1, sFlt-1 levels in the severe PE group and the mild PE group were higher than those in the healthy control group (P < 0.05), and those in the severe PE group were higher than those in mild PE group (P < 0.05), and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). After x2-test, the incidence of amniotic fluid pollution ≥ III degree, intrauterine distress and HELLP syndrome in the severe PE group was higher than that in healthy control group and mild PE group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Pearson analysis showed that serum STOX1 and sFlt-1 levels were positively correlated with mean arterial pressure and 24 h urine protein quantitation in the mild PE group and the severe PE group (P < 0.05). Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in mean arterial pressure, 24 h urinary protein quantification, STOX1 and sFlt-1 by x2-test (P < 0.05). Conclusions The levels of serum STOX1 and sFlt-1 in patients with PE are closely related to the state of illness and pregnancy outcome.
