Abstract:Objective To explore the clinical value of serum lipoxin A4 (LXA4) and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) levels in the diagnosis of pre-eclampsia. Methods A total of 128 cases of singleton pregnancy scheduled for prenatal check-ups and hospital deliveries in our hospital from June 2014 to July 2016 were included in the study for retrospective data analysis. Of 60 cases with pre -eclampsia selected as the observation group, 27 cases were defined as the mild pre-eclampsia group, 33 cases were defined as severe pre-eclampsia group which included 20 cases of early-onset severe pre-eclampsia and 13 cases of late-onset severe pre-eclampsia; while 68 cases of normal pregnancy were selected from the remaining patients as the control group. Fasting blood samples were collected before delivery, the expression levels of LXA4 and HSP70 in the groups of pregnant women were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the expression levels were compared and analyzed. Results The levels of serum LXA4 in the mild and the severe pre-eclampsia group were significantly lower than those in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05); and the level of serum LXA4 in the mild pre-eclampsia group was higher than that in the severe one (P < 0.05); there was no significant difference for the levels of serum LXA4 between the early and the late onset severe pre-eclampsia group (P > 0.05). The levels of serum HSP70 in the mild and the severe pre-eclampsia group were higher than those in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05), the serum HSP70 level of the mild pre-eclampsia group was lower than that of the severe pre-eclampsia group (P < 0.05). Conclusions The level of serum LXA4 is significantly decreased, while the level of HSP70 is significantly increased in pre-eclampsia patients. And the more severe the disease is,the lower the level of serum LXA4 is, and the higher the level of HSP70 is. Combined monitoring of serum LXA4 and HSP70 is of great value levels in the diagnosis of pre-eclampsia.
