Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

  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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. NETs level [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.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. complete blood count (CBC) [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.

Other Outcome Measures

  1. C3 level [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.
