Abstract:Objective To explore the the influence of placental hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) in gestational diabetes. Methods A number of 30 patients diabetes during pregnancy and 30 gestational diabetes patients were selected, and 30 cases of normal pregnant women were selected at the same time as a control group. Immune histochemical method and SP method were used to detect EF-1 and HIF-1α protein content. Differences between groups of test result and its influence on pregnancy outcomes of diabetes were compared and analysis. Results The placental tissue EF-1 and HIF-1α protein positive expression rate in patients with diabetes during pregnancy was significantly higher than that of gestational diabetes mellitus patients and the control group (P < 0.05). Patients with diabetes during pregnancy had higher rate of postpartum hemorrhage, fetal growth restriction and higher incidence of complications (P < 0.05). Conclusions The expressions of EF-1 and HIF-1α protein in placental tissue have adverse effects on patients with diabetes during pregnancy.
