Clinical Value of Serum SIRT1 Combined with Uterine Hemodynamics in Predicting Disease Severity and Fetal Growth Restriction in Preeclampsia.

Objective: The sirtuin regulator 1-related enzyme (SIRT1) has been shown to play an important role in various pathophysiological processes. Our aim was to investigate the effect and correlation of serum SIRT1 combined with uterine hemodynamic parameters on disease severity and fetal uterine growth restriction in the progression of preeclampsia and to evaluate its clinical value as a potential marker. Methods: A total of 100 patients with preeclampsia who were hospitalized in Qufu Normal University Hospital from June 2017 to June 2021 were selected as the research objects. According to the severity, they were divided into the mild (62 cases) and severe groups (38 cases), and according to whether the fetal growth restriction was combined or not, they were divided into the combined fetal growth restriction group (56 cases) and the uncomplicated fetal growth restriction group (44 cases). Serum SIRT1 expression and uterine artery hemodynamic parameters were detected, and Spearman analysis was used to evaluate the association of serum SIRT1 expression and uterine artery hemodynamic parameters (the peak-to-trough ratio of arterial blood velocity, the pulsatility index, and the resistance index) with disease severity (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and random urinary protein levels) and fetal growth restriction (femoral length, biparietal diameter, head circumference, and neonatal weight); unsupervised principal component analysis (PCA), supervised partial least-squares discrimination analysis (PLS-DA), cluster heat map analysis, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the area under curve (AUC) were used to evaluate the diagnostic value of serum SIRT1 expression combined with uterine artery hemodynamic parameters in the severity of disease and fetal growth restriction in patients with preeclampsia. Results: Compared with patients with mild preeclampsia, serum SIRT1 expression was lower in patients with severe preeclampsia ( Conclusion: Serum SIRT1 combined with uterine hemodynamic parameters in preeclampsia is closely related to disease severity and fetal growth restriction and is expected to become a potential biomarker for early clinical intervention in patients.
