Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the predictive value of coagulation function, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and placental growth factor (PIGF) for postpartum hemorrhage in patients with perilous placenta previa (PPP). METHODS The clinical data of 104 PPP patients were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into a hemorrhage group (n=68) and a non-hemorrhage group (n=36). A total of 55 healthy pregnant women were recruited as controls. The coagulation function, AFP and PIGF were compared between the three groups. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to determine independent risk factors for hemorrhage. RESULTS PT, TT, APTT, FIB and AFP were significantly higher while PIGF was lower in the PPP group than the control group (all P<0.05). Placental adhesion (OR 3.924, 95% CI 1.389-11.083, P=0.01), anterior placenta (OR 4.583, 95% CI 1.589-13.22, P=0.005), AFP (OR 0.208, 95% CI 0.068-0.635, P=0.006) and PIGF (OR 3.963, 95% CI 1.385-11.34, P=0.01) were independent risk factors for hemorrhage. CONCLUSION Coagulation function, AFP and PIGF could predict postpartum hemorrhage in PPP patients.

Expression of ADAM17 and its clinical value for patients with pernicious placenta previa: A retrospective study of 148 PPP patients underwent cesarean section. Medicine (Baltimore) 2024; 103:e32848. [PMID: 38335437 PMCID: PMC10860947 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000032848] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2022] [Revised: 12/13/2022] [Accepted: 01/17/2023] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
To explore the expression and the diagnostic value of ADAM17 in pernicious placenta previa (PPP) combined placental accreta. A total of 148 PPP patients were enrolled and divided into 2 groups: 62 patients with placenta accrete (PPP with PA group) and 86 patients without placenta accrete (PPP without PA group). In the same period, 74 pregnant women without PPP who had undergone cesarean section were selected as controls. The levels of ADAM17 were detected by qt-PCR. Diagnostic efficiency of ADAM17 were evaluated by receiver operating characteristics curve. ADAM17 was higher expression in PPP patients. Multivariate analysis showed that ADAM17 was related to gravida times (HR = 2.43 95% CI, 1.25-3.31), history of cesarean delivery (HR = 3.44, 95% CI = 2.24-4.28), history of abortions (HR = 2.22, 95% CI = 1.57-3.06) for PPP with PA patients and gravida times (HR = 2.01, 95% CI = 1.45-2.86), history of cesarean delivery (HR = 1.89, 95% CI = 1.33-2.48) for PPP patients without PA. Diagnostic efficiency of ADAM17 indicated that the sensitivity and specificity of ADAM17 detection for PPP with PA were 74.41% and 67.21% and for PPP without PA were 89.29% and 85.52%. Area under curve were 0.7876 (0.7090-0.8661) for PPP with PA and 0.9443 (0.9136-0.9750) for PPP without PA. Insummary, ADAM17 was higher expression in patients with PPP. ADAM17 was associated with gravida times, history of cesarean delivery, history of abortions. It also indicated a better diagnostic efficiency for patients with PPP. Further larger sample, multicenter studies should be conducted to confirm the conclusion from our study.

[PMID: 37722677 PMCID: PMC10512921 DOI: 10.1080/19932820.2023.2258669] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2023] [Accepted: 09/08/2023] [Indexed: 09/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: The termination of pregnancy in patients with placenta accreta spectrum disorder (PASD) during the second trimester remains uncertain. In addition, interventional radiology techniques, such as arterial embolization and balloon placement, are potential options. We evaluated the outcomes of pregnancy termination in patients with PASD during the second trimester and the effectiveness of preoperative interventional radiology techniques.Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 48 PASD patients who underwent pregnancy termination during the second trimester between January 2016 and May 2021.Results: Of the 48 patients, 20 (41.67%) underwent transvaginal termination, whereas 28 (58.33%) underwent cesarean section. Notably, no significant differences were observed in success rates between the transvaginal termination and cesarean section groups (80.00% vs. 92.86%, P = 0.38). Furthermore, no statistically significant differences were observed in the success rates (94.12% vs 90.32%, P = 1.00) and blood loss (512.35 ± 727.00 ml vs 804.00 ± 838.98 ml, P = 0.23) between the artery embolization and non-embolization groups. In the vaginal termination group, statistically significant differences were observed in gestational weeks (16.70 ± 3.12 vs 22.67 ± 3.63, P < 0.01) and blood loss (165.00 ± 274.43 ml vs 483.64 ± 333.53 ml, P = 0.04) between the (artery embolization and non-embolization) subgroups. Conversely, in the cesarean section group, no significant differences were observed in gestational weeks (23.59 ± 3.14 vs 23.20 ± 4.37, P = 0.79) and blood loss (811.11 ± 879.55 ml vs 989.47 ± 986.52 ml, P = 0.76) between the subgroups.Conclusions: Further studies are needed to evaluate the efficacy of vaginal termination in PASD patients during the second trimester. Regarding cesarean termination, arterial embolization did not demonstrate increased effectiveness.

Hofmeyr GJ. Novel concepts and improvisation for treating postpartum haemorrhage: a narrative review of emerging techniques. Reprod Health 2023; 20:116. [PMID: 37568196 PMCID: PMC10422815 DOI: 10.1186/s12978-023-01657-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2022] [Accepted: 07/27/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Most treatments for postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) lack evidence of effectiveness. New innovations are ubiquitous but have not been synthesized for ready access. NARRATIVE REVIEW Pubmed 2020 to 2021 was searched on 'postpartum haemorrhage treatment', and novel reports among 755 citations were catalogued. New health care strategies included early diagnosis with a bundled first response and home-based treatment of PPH. A calibrated postpartum blood monitoring tray has been described. Oxytocin is more effective than misoprostol; addition of misoprostol to oxytocin does not improve treatment. Heat stable carbetocin has not been assessed for treatment. A thermostable microneedle oxytocin patch has been developed. Intravenous tranexamic acid reduces mortality but deaths have been reported from inadvertent intrathecal injection. New transvaginal uterine artery clamps have been described. Novel approaches to uterine balloon tamponade include improvised and purpose-designed free-flow (as opposed to fixed volume) devices and vaginal balloon tamponade. Uterine suction tamponade methods include purpose-designed and improvised devices. Restrictive fluid resuscitation, massive transfusion protocols, fibrinogen use, early cryopreciptate transfusion and point-of-care viscoelastic haemostatic assay-guided blood product transfusion have been reported. Pelvic artery embolization and endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta and pelvic arteries are used where available. External aortic compression and direct compression of the aorta during laparotomy or aortic clamping (such as with the Paily clamp) are alternatives. Transvaginal haemostatic ligation and compression sutures, placental site sutures and a variety of novel compression sutures have been reported. These include Esike's technique, three vertical compression sutures, vertical plus horizontal compression sutures, parallel loop binding compression sutures, uterine isthmus vertical compression sutures, isthmic circumferential suture, circumferential compression sutures with intrauterine balloon, King's combined uterine suture and removable retropubic uterine compression suture. Innovative measures for placenta accreta spectrum include a lower uterine folding suture, a modified cervical inversion technique, bilateral uterine artery ligation with myometrial excision of the adherent placenta and cervico-isthmic sutures or a T-shaped lower segment repair. Technological advances include cell salvage, high frequency focussed ultrasound for placenta increta and extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation. CONCLUSIONS Knowledge of innovative methods can equip clinicians with last-resort options when faced with haemorrhage unresponsive to conventional methods.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the risk factors of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) in patients with pernicious placenta previa (PPP) and to develop and validate a clinical and imaging-based predictive model. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients diagnosed surgically and pathologically with PPP between January 2018 and June 2022. All patients underwent PPP magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound scoring in the second trimester and before delivery, and were categorized into two groups according to PPH occurrence. The total imaging score and sub-item prediction models of the MRI risk score/ultrasound score were used to construct Models A and B/Models C and D. Models E and F were the total scores of the MRI combined with the ultrasound risk and sub-item prediction model scores. Model G was based on the subscores of MRI and ultrasound with the introduction of clinical data. Univariate logistic regression analysis and the logical least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) model were used to construct models. The receiver operating characteristic curve andision curve analysis (DCA) were drawn, and the model with the strongest predictive ability and the best clinical effect was selected to construct a nomogram. Internal sampling was used to verify the prediction model's consistency. Results: 158 patients were included and the predictive power and clinical benefit of Models B and D were better than those of Models A and C. The results of the area under the curve of Models B, D, E, F, and G showed that Model G was the best, which could reach 0.93. Compared with Model F, age, vaginal hemorrhage during pregnancy, and amniotic fluid volume were independent risk factors for PPH in patients with PPP (p < 0.05). We plotted the DCA of Models B, D, E, F, and G, which showed that Model G had better clinical benefits and that the slope of the calibration curve of Model G was approximately 45°. Conclusion: LASSO regression nomogram based on clinical risk factors and multiple conventional ultrasound plus MRI signs has a certain guiding significance for the personalized prediction of PPH in patients with PPP before delivery.

J Obstet Gynaecol Res 2023; 49:548-559. [PMID: 36412218 DOI: 10.1111/jog.15493] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2022] [Revised: 10/19/2022] [Accepted: 10/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is an ongoing major iatrogenic public health challenge with devastating obstetric complications, but its underlying molecular pathogenesis remains poorly illuminated. LAMC2 is reported to regulate tumor cells proliferation and invasion, yet has not been explored in placenta trophoblast cells. This study investigated LAMC2 expression and its contribution in the etiology of PAS. METHODS Quantitative polymerase chain reaction, western blot, and immunohistochemistry were performed to detect the expression of LAMC2 in placentas. Cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and apoptosis were monitored by CCK8 assay, wound healing assay, transwell invasion assay, and flow cytometry assay. Western blot was conducted to confirm the pertinent proteins level of PI3K/Akt/MMP2/9 pathway in HTR8/SVneo cells. RESULTS LAMC2 was predominantly expressed in placental villous syncytiotrophoblasts and cytotrophoblasts. LAMC2 mRNA and protein expression were substantially upregulated in placental tissues with PAS compared to those with pernicious placenta previa without PAS. LAMC2 overexpression eminently boosted HTR8/SVneo cells proliferation, invasion, and migration, but inhibited apoptosis, accompanied by elevated protein expression of MMP2, MMP9, and phosphorylated Akt (pAkt). Knockdown of LAMC2 yielded the converse results. Additionally, when treated with LY294002, the effects of LAMC2 overexpression on proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis of HTR8/SVneo cells were abolished and concomitantly the elevated pAkt, MMP2, and MMP9 proteins induced by LAMC2 overexpression were eliminated. CONCLUSION Our study highlighted the involvement of LAMC2 in the pathogenesis of PAS by activating the PI3K/Akt/MMP2/9 signaling pathway to stimulate trophoblast over-invasion. These findings provide a new target for the diagnosis and disease stratification of PAS.

Cook Cervical Ripening Balloon for placenta accreta spectrum disorders with placenta previa: a novel approach to uterus preserving. Arch Gynecol Obstet 2022; 306:1979-1987. [PMID: 35290491 DOI: 10.1007/s00404-022-06476-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2021] [Accepted: 02/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/02/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of intrauterine inflated Cook Cervical Ripening Balloon (ICRB) in postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) management and fertility preserving for placenta accreta spectrum disorders with placenta previa (previa PAS). METHODS At a tertiary referral center, 74 patients suffering with previa PAS were entered into this retrospective cohort study from January, 2016 to December, 2020, and were confirmed intraoperatively that abnormal invasive placenta reaches the cervical internal ostium and the upper part of the cervical canal. In control group (n = 39), the combination of infrarenal abdominal aorta balloon occlusion (IAABO) and longitudinal parallel compression suture to lower uterine segment were performed. In study group (n = 35), in addition to the aforementioned surgical techniques, ICRB was implemented at the cervical internal ostium and the outside of the cervix simultaneously. RESULTS Use of ICRB significantly reduced the rate of peripartum hysterectomy (2.9% vs 30.4%, p = 0.001), and associated with a reduction in surgical time and duration of IAABO (mean 172.7 min vs 206.6 min, p = 0.017; median 30 min vs 40 min, p < 0.001). Use of ICRB significantly reduced the estimated amount of blood loss (median 2500 ml vs 4000 ml, p < 0.001), amounts of packed red blood cells and fresh-frozen plasma transfusion (median 6 U vs 13.5 U, p < 0.001; median 450 ml vs 1200 ml, p < 0.001), postoperative hospital stay and the incidence of oligomenorrhea postoperatively (median 5 days vs 6 days, p = 0.009; 13.8% vs 61.1% p = 0.001). No significant difference was observed between both the groups regarding the use of cryo and PLT, injury of urinary system, relaparotomy, admission to the ICU, postpartum hematocele in uterine cavity, and postoperative complications (including incidence rate of DVT, incidence rate of femoral thrombosis, puerperal morbidity, intrauterine infection, surgical site infection, and deep tissue infection). CONCLUSION ICRB was a simple, effective procedure for PPH management and fertility preserving in some previa PAS cases in which abnormal invasive placenta reaches the cervical internal ostium and the upper part of the cervical canal, in tandem with IAABO and compression suture.
