Abstract

Background: Hypertensive disorders, particularly preeclampsia, are major contributors to maternal mortality and neonatal morbidity. Angiogenic imbalance plays a critical role in placental ischemia, a hallmark of preeclampsia. Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the roles of endoglin, soluble endoglin (sEndoglin), and matrix metalloproteinase-14 (MMP-14) in the angiogenic imbalance observed in preeclampsia placentas compared to normal-term placentas. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted using 68 placental samples: 34 from normal-term pregnancies and 34 from preeclampsia cases. Concentrations of endoglin, sEndoglin, and MMP-14 were measured using the sandwich ELISA method, and protein levels were determined using the Christian Warburg method. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20. Results: The concentration of endoglin in preeclampsia placentas was slightly higher (1.37 [0.2–2.2] ng/μg protein) compared to normal placentas (1.12 [0.6–14.1] ng/μg protein), although the difference was not statistically significant. In contrast, sEndoglin (0.05 [0.0–0.01] ng/μg protein vs. 0.02 [0.0–0.3] ng/μg protein) and MMP-14 (0.14 [0.1–0.6] ng/μg protein vs. 0.11 [0.1–1.3] ng/μg protein) concentrations were significantly higher in preeclampsia placentas compared to normal placentas. All parameters showed a gradual decrease with advancing gestational age. sEndoglin and MMP-14 demonstrated a strong positive correlation (r = 0.658, p < 0.001), while endoglin and MMP-14 exhibited a moderate positive correlation (r = 0.554, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Endoglin, sEndoglin, and MMP-14 were differentially expressed in preeclampsia placentas, with sEndoglin and MMP-14 significantly elevated. These findings highlight their potential role in angiogenic imbalance and may provide insight into the pathophysiology of preeclampsia.

Abstract

Background: Congenital abnormalities are anatomical and physiological abnormalities that are present in babies from birth. One of the main causes of high infant mortality and neonatal mortality in Indonesia is congenital abnormalities in babies. This study describes the prevalence of congenital abnormalities in Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, as a tertiary referral hospital in Indonesia, which requires integrated healthcare service to be treated well. Methods: Data obtained from 323 patients at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital are collected in a year, to be further analyzed in retrospective cohort study. Collected data includes the patients’ age, birth date, reproductive history, gestational age, and congenital abnormalities of the baby. Results: The data shows that patients with the age group of 30-39 years old dominated the cases of pregnancy with congenital abnormalities. Cases are also more dominant in the gestational age of 13 – 28 weeks (second-trimester). Most cases of abnormalities are from the central nervous system with 159 cases and followed by cardiovascular system with 130 cases. Overall prevalence of congenital abnormalities are detected within patients during prenatal screening in Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital. Conclusion: This study highlights the importance in managing congenital abnormalities and birth defects by developing an integrated service in the healthcare system to lower infant and neonatal mortality.
