    XU Ai-qun;BIAN Xu-ming
    2010, 37 (3):  151-156. 
    Abstract ( 1953 )   PDF (304KB) ( 5040 )  
    Cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) has been successfully detected in maternal circulation during pregnancy. Unlike intact fetal cell in maternal circulation, cffDNA can be detected from 4 weeks gestations and cleared from the circulation following birth. The source of cffDNA has not been clearly elucidated and speculated from placenta with the mechanism of apoptosis. The usage of cffDNA can be applied to diagnose fetal aneuploidy during first and second trimester pregnancy. The limitation of cffDNA is the scarcity in maternal circulation to challenge the measurements. Nowadays some new detecting methods have been developed and applied to the prenatal diagnosis, but still need to be improved. The development of cffDNA will offer a good application prospect for non-invasive prenatal diagnosis of aneuploidy.

    Abstract ( 1981 )   PDF (202KB) ( 5308 )  
    Fetal choroid plexus cysts (CPCs) are a common central nervous system malformation, with 1%~4% of all fetus suffering. They can be diagnosed by routine ultrasound examination during the first or second trimester pregnancy,and be associated with fetal chromosomal abnormalities and nervous system abnormalities especially with regard to trisomy 18 and Aicardi syndrome. This association is also influenced by many factors. So physicians should consider these factors first, such as isolated CPCs or CPCs associated with other fetal abnormalities, the risk of trisomy based on mother’s serum screening, the characteristics of CPCs and so on. Then, physicians can predict the individual risk and provide accurate genetic counseling.

    JI Yu-qin;ZHANG Yu-quan;LI Da-jin
    2010, 37 (3):  165-167. 
    Abstract ( 2746 )   PDF (198KB) ( 5160 )  
    The erythropoietin (EPO) is a novel family of angiogenic factors that promote angiogenesis, anti-apoptosis and anti-hypoxia when binding its receptor(EPOR). The EPO participates in the development of placenta vessels, as well as the angiogenesis and tumor metastasis. EPO and its receptor expressed at reside maternal-fetal interface. Since EPO and its receptor are expressed throughout human gestation, it may play a pivotal role in pregnancy, and their abnormal regulation may be involved in spontaneous abortion, eclampsia and fetal growth restriction. Therefore, EPO in pregnancy may present a novel strategy for treatment of the pregnancy-related diseases.

    2010, 37 (3):  171-174. 
    Abstract ( 1637 )   PDF (273KB) ( 4994 )  
    Corticotropin-releasing hormone(CRH) is a 41-amino-acid neuropeptide that fist identified in the hypothalamus. CRH is detectable in human’s brain peripheral circulation and the maternal-fetal-placental unit. It has been noted that in the third trimester the CRH concentration in maternal plasma increased with advanced gestation, from the 28 menstrua1 week, the women in threatened prematurity groups were significantly higher than normal pregnancy, after the delivery, the CRH concentration decreased quickly. So we can make the conclusion that CRH may be an important factor in onset of delivery by hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenocortex axis,maternal myometrium and other hormones. This article report the mechanisms of placental corticotrophin-releasing hormone(CRH) which is involved in the controlling of the onset of labour.

    WU Hai-xia;PANG Shu-jie;GUO Dong-hui
    2010, 37 (3):  194-197. 
    Abstract ( 2983 )   PDF (348KB) ( 5119 )  
    Previous numerous studies have strongly shown that certain high-risk HPV infection clearly plays an important role in the development of cervical carcinoma; however, several experimental studies have suggested that HPV infection alone is insufficient to initiate malignant transformation of the cervical epithelium because many more women are infected with HPV than develop cervical cancer. Thus other genetic events are likely to be critical in the pathogenesis of cervical cancer. At present, the relationship between gene polymorphism of HLA alleles and cervical cancer and its precancerous lesions becomes one of hot spots. This article gives an overview of the progress in several aspects such as function, expression mechanism, typing method et al.

    2010, 37 (3):  204-207. 
    Abstract ( 1616 )   PDF (215KB) ( 4890 )  
    Estrogen is one member of the family of steroid hormones, it is a critical hormone in the human body, induces diverse physiological and pathohysiological effects. The traditional view that estrogen like other steroids, is a nuclear transcription factor, mediate it’s primary effects at the genomic level. However, hormone- dependent tumors are not so effective control by the mechanism of estrogen. In recent years, a large number of reports show that in addition to transcriptional regulation, estrogen also mediates cellular effects with response times from seconds to minutes. A large number of researches have shown that G Protein-Coupled Receptor30 part in the nongenomiceffects of estrogen. When GPR30 combined with estrogen,it can rapid activated the intracellular second signaling system , including ERK activation, PI3K activation, calcium mobilization, cAMP production and so on, which play an important role in the nongenomiceffect of estrogen. In this review,we will focus on the relations between GPR30 and estrogen-related tumors.

    Objective: To investigate the relationship between endometrial blood flow measured by Color Doppler on pre-implantation and in vitro fertilization and embryos transfer cycle(IVF-ET). Methods: Data were obtained a total 70 women undergoing IVF-ET from May to November 2009. The endometrial thickness, blood flow status were detected by transvaginal ultrasonography on pre-implantation which include the third day after ovulation before IVF-ET cycles and the day of embryos transfer during IVF-ET cycles both. The patients were divided into three groups by the show of endometrial blood flow:Ⅰ, the number of the endometrial perforating blood flow ≤2 branch;Ⅱ, the number of the endometrial perforating blood flow 3~5 branch; Ⅲ, the number of the endometrial perforating blood flow≥6 branch. Results: In natural cycles, there is significant difference between the endometrial blood status of pregnancy groupand the non-pregancy group that(P <0.05), and in stimulated cycles, there is no signtifically difference(P >0.05). There is no significant difference between endometrial blood flow of the third day after natural ovulation and the day of ET as both were plentiful in pregnancy group(P >0.05)., but in non-pregnancy group the latter is more plentiful significantly than the former(P <0.01). The parameters and endometrial thickness in pregnancy group were similar to non-pregnancy group in stimulated cycle and natrual cycle(P >0.05). Conclusion: Richer of endometrial perforating blood flow in stimulated cycle have higher pregnancy rate, which can be as forecast level of endometrial receptivity. Stimulated cycle may change the endometrial receptivity, but do not have relevant evidence on the endometrial thickness and the parameters.
