Materials and Methods: This study was conducted at Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Tanta University in the period from January 2018 to December 2018. Eligible patients (n = 190) were randomly allocated into 2 groups: study group who will receive progesterone supplementation (prog. group) and control group who will receive no treatment (place. group). Results: No significant differences were found between both groups regarding all demographic data and pregnancy characteristics. Abortions were higher in place. group 17 (23.94%) than in prog. group 12 (16.44%) with no significant difference p value = 0.263. The incidence of preterm labour was also higher in the place. group 22 (30.99%) in comparison to the prog. group 17 (23.29%) with no significant difference p value = 0.300. Conclusion: Progesterone supplementation in threatened abortion was not beneficial although it reduced abortion and preterm labour rates.展开更多

Methods: The effective active ingredients and targets in ShouTaiWan were obtained by searching in TCMSP database, BATMAN-TCM database and Uniprot database. The target of threatened abortion was obtained by searching for 'threatened abortion' in GeneCards. And the co-target gene of ShouTaiWan and threaten abortion can be obtained through the use of gene mapping in Venn diagram. Then an interaction network "disease-drug-target" can be constructed through a software called Cytoscape. Upload the Co-targeted gene to the STRING database to construct the protein interaction network map (PPI) , which would be screened for the key genes by using R language. Finally, used the R language to analyze gene ontology (GO) enrichment and kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genome (KEGG) pathway enrichment. Result: It is predicted that 21 effective active ingredients for the treatment of threatened abortion and 89 common effective targets are expected. Quercetin, kaempferol, beta-sitosterol, and isorhamnetin were the most effective components. As for the targets, prostaglandin endoperoxidase receptor (PTGS2), progesterone receptor (PGR), prostaglandin endoperoxidase receptor 1 (PTGS1), and Peroxisome proliferator activates receptor gamma (PPARG) were the most effective ones. The core targets in PPI network are Interleukin-6 (IL-6), protein kinase (AKT1), vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), etc. GO enrichment analysis shows that the activity of cytokines, regulatory functions, nuclear protein receptors and transcription of genes would be affected. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis illustrates that advanced glycation end products-receptor for AGE (AGE-RAGE) pathways are of the highest significance, followed by the fluid shear stress and atherosclerosis pathways. Conclusion: ShouTaiWan can achieve anti-inflammatory, increase vascular permeability,improve endometrial receptivity and other aspects of regulation to treat threatened abortion and embryo implantation through regulating cytokine.展开更多

Compared with the control group, the average levels ofβ-HCG, progesterone, E2 and PLG in the pregnancy maintenance group and the interrupted pregnancy group were significantly decreased, and the level of the interrupted pregnancy group was significantly lower than that of the pregnancy maintenance group. The levels of PC, D-D, TAT, F1+2 and PAI-1 in the pregnancy maintenance group and the interrupted pregnancy group were significantly higher than those in the control group, and the level of the interrupted pregnancy group was significantly higher than that of the pregnancy maintenance group. There was no significant difference in the level of AT III between the groups.Conclusion: There are significant abnormal levels of reproductive hormones, prethrombotic state markers and coagulation related factors in patients with threatened abortion in early pregnancy, the detection of its index level is of great value in predicting threatened abortion in the early stage.展开更多

In this context, many endemic and/or rare plant species are threatened with extinction. This is the case of Aubregrinia taïensis (Aubrév. & Pellegr.) Heine, a critically endangered Sapotaceae species, endemic to Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana. After 3 years of investigation in and around the Tai National Park (TNP) in the West of Côte d’Ivoire, only one individual of this species was located and no sexual reproductive organs (fruits, seeds) were observed. Woody plant species around this individual were inventoried in order to know the species that can co-occur with Aubregrinia taïensis. For that a plot of 30 m of diameter was established around the individual and all of the woody species of this circle were inventoried. Then, the taxonomic diversity, the chorology of the species, the conservation status and their life-form were recorded. A total of 130 woody plant species belonging to 51 families were collected in the site. The most represented families are Euphorbiaceae (12 spp.), Rubiaceae (10 spp.), Annonaceae (7 spp.), Fabaceae, Moraceae, Malvaceae (6 spp. each) while the most represented genera are Diospyros L. (4 spp.), Cola Schott & Endl. and Vitex L. (3 spp.). Species from the Guineo-Congolese Region (GC) are the most abundant (72%). They are followed by West African endemic species (GCW, 19%). Microphanerophytes (mp) are the most abundant and represent more than 40% of the species. Three vulnerable species were found in this plot: Campylospermum amplectens, Placodiscus boya and Trichoscypha cavalliensis. Thus, the preservation of this forest is more than necessary.展开更多

文摘In the present paper, the authors review rece nt development of acupunct ure treatment of threatened abortion from 1) clinical application of "Linggui Ba fa"(灵龟八法Eight Methods of Intelligent Turtle), 2) body acupoints , and 3) acup uncture combined with Chinese materia medica, and clinical study from 1) effect of acupuncture on the blood flow of uterus, and 2) effect of acupuncture on plas ma progesterone level. In addition, acupuncture therapy is also used to help wom en in gestation and can effectively raise the pregnant rate. "Lingg ui Bafa" is r ather effective in preventing threatened abortion and should be studied further.
文摘The Upper Guinea Forest is subject to heavy deforestation. In this context, many endemic and/or rare plant species are threatened with extinction. This is the case of Aubregrinia taïensis (Aubrév. & Pellegr.) Heine, a critically endangered Sapotaceae species, endemic to Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana. After 3 years of investigation in and around the Tai National Park (TNP) in the West of Côte d’Ivoire, only one individual of this species was located and no sexual reproductive organs (fruits, seeds) were observed. Woody plant species around this individual were inventoried in order to know the species that can co-occur with Aubregrinia taïensis. For that a plot of 30 m of diameter was established around the individual and all of the woody species of this circle were inventoried. Then, the taxonomic diversity, the chorology of the species, the conservation status and their life-form were recorded. A total of 130 woody plant species belonging to 51 families were collected in the site. The most represented families are Euphorbiaceae (12 spp.), Rubiaceae (10 spp.), Annonaceae (7 spp.), Fabaceae, Moraceae, Malvaceae (6 spp. each) while the most represented genera are Diospyros L. (4 spp.), Cola Schott & Endl. and Vitex L. (3 spp.). Species from the Guineo-Congolese Region (GC) are the most abundant (72%). They are followed by West African endemic species (GCW, 19%). Microphanerophytes (mp) are the most abundant and represent more than 40% of the species. Three vulnerable species were found in this plot: Campylospermum amplectens, Placodiscus boya and Trichoscypha cavalliensis. Thus, the preservation of this forest is more than necessary.
