Objective:The purpose of this study was to explore the effect and mechanism of maternal chorioamnionitis on placental microvasculature and platelet activation among preterm infants by activating Wnt-Flt1 signal pathway . Methods:With clinical randomized controlled trial (RCT), the cases were matched with 1:1 according to gestational age and divided into 2 groups according to the placental pathology result: chorioamnionitis group and control group. (1) To observe the platelet parameter, birth weight, thrombrocytopenia and hemorrhage complication, such as intracranial hemorrhage, retinal hemorrhage, pulmonary hemorrhage and gastrointestinal hemorrhage. (2) To observe the miscrovascular density (MVD) in placenta, platelet activating factor (CD62p,CD63) and thrombopotetin (TPO) in preterrn infants.The placental MVD was assessed by immunohistochemical method. The platelet activating factors were detected by flow cytometry. TPO was detected by ELISA. (3) To observe Wnt5a, Flt1 and VEGF in placenta and fetal circulation.The measurement data were analyzed by pair t test and conditional logistic regression. Pearson correlation analysis was used for relationship.
