Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı fetal ve erken postnatal serum endoglin düzeylerinin fetal büyümedeki rolünü ve maternal preeklampsinin endoglin düzeylerine olan ilişkisini araştırmaktır.
Materyal ve Method: Bu çalışmaya 55 yenidoğan prospektif olarak çalışmaya dahil edildi ve 4 gruba ayrıldı:1)Normal gebelik ve gebelik haftasına göre düşük doğum ağırlıklı yenidoğanlar (n:13,small for gestational age:SGA) 2)normal gebelik ve gebelik haftasına göre fazla doğum ağırlıklı yenidoğanlar (n:19, large for gestational age:LGA) 3)Preeklamptik anneden doğan gebelik haftasına göre normal ağırlıklı yenidoğanlar (n:12, appropriate for gestational age:AGA)) 4)kontrol grup: preeklampsi ve herhangi bir hastalığı olmayan anneden doğan gebelik haftasına göre normal ağırlıklı yenidoğanlar (n:11).Kanlar umblikal kordondan ve postnatal 4.saatte periferal venden toplandı. Serum endoglin düzeyleri ELISA kit kullanılarak ölçüldü.
Bulgular: Endoglin çalışılan tüm umblikal kord ve yenidoğan serumlarında saptandı. Fetal ve erken postnatal serum endoglin düzeyleri arasında SGA, LGA, preeklamptik ve kontrol grupları bakımından fark saptanmadı. Fetal ve erken postnatal serum endoglin düzeyleri SGA grupta AGA gruptan yüksek saptandı.
Sonuçlar: Fetal ve erken postnatal serum endoglin düzeyleri yenidoğanlarda değişmemektedir. SGA yenidoğanlarda serum endoglin düzeyleri farklılık göstermektedir. Sonuçlarımız artan endoglin düzeylerinin SGA patofizyolojisinde rol oynayabileceğini düşündürmektedir.Normal ve komplike gebeliklerden doğan yenidoğanlarda endoglinin fetal büyümedeki rolünu belirlemek için geniş serili çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.

The relation of fetal and early postnatal serum endoglin levels with birth weight and maternal preeclampsia

Abstract

Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of fetal and early postnatal serum endoglin levels in fetal growth and to investigate the association between neonates of preeclamptic mothers and endoglin levels.
Material and Methods: Fiftyfive neonates were prospectively enrolled into the study and divided into four groups: 1) Normal pregnancy and small for gestational age (SGA) neonates (n:13), 2) normal pregnancy and large for gestational age (LGA) neonates (n:19), 3) appropriate for gestational age (AGA) neonates of preeclamptic mothers (n:12), and 4) control group: AGA neonates born to mothers without preeclampsia or any other disease (n:11). Blood was collected from umbilical cords (UC) with both ends clamped, and from peripheral vein in the postnatal 4th hour. Serum endoglin levels were measured by employing an ELISA kit.
Results: Endoglin was detectable in the serum of all studied umbilical cord and neonates. No statistically significant differences were found between fetal and early postnatal serum endoglin levels in SGA, LGA, preeclamptic and control groups. Fetal and early postnatal serum endoglin levels of SGA group were significantly higher than the values of AGA group.
Conclusion: Fetal and early postnatal serum endoglin levels seem to be unchanged in neonates.We showed that SGA neonates are characterized by a alterations in serum endoglin levels.Our results suggest that increased endoglin levels may play a role in the pathophysiology of SGA. Further studies with larger patient series are required to determine the role of endoglin in fetal growth in normal neonates and in neonates born after a complicated pregnancy.
