The pathogenesis of early pregnancy convulsion

Early seizures in pregnant women is a common disease, can lead to serious death. British scientists at the University of Reading recently found in pregnant women with pre-convulsion related to a substance, the substance detection of the disease to help in the early diagnosis and treatment. Early seizures in pregnant women in the incidence rate is as high as 10%, usually in the last three months of pregnancy attacks, often without warning. Symptoms for pregnant women dramatically increased blood pressure, swelling of hands and feet, a blood clot, would lead to serious convulsions and death. Therapy is usually implemented immediately caesarean section, because it would lead to premature infants and frail. Feilipulao scientists at the University of Reading, and others recently in the United Kingdom "natural" study published by the magazine report that they will be pre-convulsion of the placenta of pregnant women and health of the placenta of pregnant women compared and found one called "Neurokinin B "(NKB) material content varied considerably, with the body of NKB in healthy pregnant women higher than 100 times. In vivo, NKB can vasoconstriction, a rise in blood pressure, heart rate accelerated, serious brain may affect the blood supply. The researchers also found that, in some pre - and the seizure of organs and tissues in the presence NKB receptor. For example, the portal vein in the human receptor NKB, and the portal vein is the function of digested food will be transported to the liver, when the high content in NKB, is bound to have significant impact on the liver. The facts show that in the pre-seizure cases, the liver is one of the organs severely damaged. It has been previously proposed, and the fetus may be pre-convulsion in the mother's womb in which the position. If the wrong direction, it will lead to fetal insufficiency, for the mother placenta will be sent to a large number of chemical signals from the blood of pregnant women other organs will be "diverted" to the fetus. This will cause blood pressure in pregnant women show up specific sites, there convulsions early symptoms. Experts believe that NKB issued by the placenta is probably one of the chemical signals. Scientists believe may be suffering from convulsions in pregnant women in the early, early stages of pregnancy should be a high content of the NKB. Through NKB levels in the blood, pregnant women can be found as early as possible whether there is a risk of suffering from convulsions early. At present, drugs can inhibit the role of NKB receptor, can be used for the prevention of disease onset.
