Among the 8 drugs investigated, all exhibited a capacity to alleviate TN more than the placebo except for pimozide and proparacaine. Moreover, LDC, BTX-A, and CBZ stood out for their high efficacy and could be recommended as the primary choice of treatment for TN.
Objective. The purpose of the study was to determine the significance of heat shock protein 90 (HSP 90) and serum chemokine ligand 21 (CCL-21) in pregnant women with preeclampsia (PE). Methods. From June 2021 to June 2022, the study enrolled 100 women undergoing obstetric examinations and delivering in our hospital; 50 PE patients undergoing routine obstetric examinations and delivering during the same period were enrolled in the research group; according to the severity, they were divided into mild PE and severe PE groups, while 50 healthy pregnant women undergoing obstetric examinations and delivering in our hospital during the same period were enrolled in the control group. In a subsequent analysis, serum levels of CCL-21 and HSP90 were compared between the two groups, and the correlation among CCL-21, HSP 90, and PE severity was analyzed. Results. An overall total of 50 patients with PE were enrolled in the study, which included 32 patients with mild PE and 18 patients with severe PE. Patients with severe PE had lower mean arterial pressure (MAP), HSP 90, and CCL21 index levels than those with mild PE; MAP, HSP 90, and CCL21 in the severe PE group were higher than those in the mild PE group, but the difference was not statistically significant; In the research group, MAP was weakly correlated with HSP90 concentration and CCL21 concentration, with correlation coefficients of 0.33 and 0.30, respectively, and the correlation analysis was significant. Conclusion. Patients with PE showed significantly increased serum concentrations of HSP90 and CCL-21, but a significant difference did not exist between mild and severe PE. In addition, there was a weak relationship between HSP90 and CCL-21 concentrations in PE patients and MAP, suggesting that HSP90 and CCL-21 play an instrumental role in the pathogenesis of PE, although more studies are needed to clarify the exact mechanisms.
Objective. The study aimed to explore the correlation of serum chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 21 (CCL21) and heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) with preeclampsia (PE). Methods. Between June 2021 and June 2022, 50 pregnant women with PE were included in the PE group, and 50 healthy pregnant women were included in the control group. The serum levels of CCL21 and Hsp90 were compared between the two groups. Results. PE patients showed significantly higher levels of CCL21 and Hsp90 than healthy pregnant women P < 0.05 . Correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between CCL21 and Hsp90 levels (r > 0, P < 0.05 ). Binary logistic regression analysis suggested that high expression of CCL21 and Hsp90 were influencing factors for PE (OR >1, P < 0.05 ). The area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUC) curves of Hsp90 and CCL21 levels for predicting PE were 0.895 and 0.864, respectively, suggesting a good predictive value. Conclusion. Serum CCL21 and Hsp90 show great potential as disease markers for PE prediction. Further trials are, however, required prior to clinical promotion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
