Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Mediate Antiphospholipid Antibody-induced Pregnancy Loss

November 7, 2018 updated by: Shihua Bao, Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital
  1. Establish a multi-platform detection system for neutrophil extracellular traps in blood and tissues, and evaluate the detection performance;
  2. Comparing the expression levels of neutrophil extracellular traps in peripheral blood and decidua of patients with antiphospholipid antibody-induced pregnancy loss and normal control group;
  3. Comparing the expression levels of neutrophil extracellular traps in peripheral blood and decidua of mice with antiphospholipid antibody-induced pregnancy loss and normal control group;
  4. After treatment of antiphospholipid antibody-induced mouse abortion model with metformin,the effect of metformin on embryo loss rate and viable embryo body weight was observed.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
NETs level
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 8 months
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are networks of extracellular fibers, primarily composed of DNA from neutrophils, which bind pathogens.
through study completion, an average of 8 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
complete blood count (CBC)
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 8 months
CBC is a blood panel requested by a doctor or other medical professional that gives information about the cells in a patient's blood, such as the cell count for each blood cell type and the concentrations of hemoglobin.
through study completion, an average of 8 months

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
C3 level
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 8 months
Complement component 3, often simply called C3, is a protein of the immune system. It plays a central role in the complement system and contributes to innate immunity.
through study completion, an average of 8 months
