Objective: To investigate the correlation between the serum γ-interferon(IFN-γ), human β-defensin-2(HBD-2) levels and the vaginal microecology and pregnancy outcome in pregnant women with mycotic vaginitis(VVC). Methods: A total of 83 pregnant women with VVC who were hospitalized and delivered in the obstetrics department of our hospital from June 2020 to June 2022 were selected as our research subjects(VCC group), and 90 pregnant women without VVC who were hospitalized and delivered in our hospital during the same period were selected as controls(non VVC group).The pregnancy outcomes of VVC patients were calculated and they were divided into an adverse pregnancy outcome group(51 cases) and a normal pregnancy outcome group(32 cases). ELISAwas applied to detect serum IFN-γ and HBD-2 levels and Pearsonwas employed to analyze the correlation between the serum IFN-γ, HBD-2 levels and the various indicators of vaginal microbiota. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of adverse pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women with VVC. Results: The serum IFN-γ and HBD-2 levels in the VVC group were obviously higher than those in the non VVC group(P<0.05). The proportions of vaginal microbiota density of grade II-III, bacterial diversity of grade II-III, vaginal cleanliness of grade I-II, and vaginal pH of 3.8-4.5 in the VVC group were obviously lower than those in the non VVC group(P<0.05). The proportions of catalase positive and leukocyte lipase positive in the VVC group were obviously higher than those in the non VVC group(P<0.05). The serum IFN-γ and HBD-2 of VVC patients with vaginal microbiota density of grade II-III, bacterial diversity of grade II-III, vaginal cleanliness of grade I-II, vaginal pH of 3.8-4.5, catalase negative, and leukocyte lipase negative were obviously lower than those with vaginal microbiota density of grade I or IV, bacterial diversity of grade I or IV, vaginal cleanliness of grade III-IV, vaginal pH greater than 3.8-4.5, catalase positive, and leukocyte lipase positive(P<0.05). The incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes(postpartum hemorrhage, post-term birth, low birth weight, neonatal asphyxia, intrauterine growth restriction) in the VVC group was significantly higher than that in the non VVC group(P<0.05).The levels of serum IFN-γ and HBD-2 in the adverse pregnancy outcome group were obviously higher than those in the normal pregnancy outcome group(P<0.05). IFN-γ and HBD-2 were both the risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women with VVC(P<0.05). Conclusion: The levels of serum IFN-γ and HBD-2 increase in pregnant women with VVC, while those with abnormal vaginal microecological indicators have higher levels of serum IFN-γ and HBD-2. The increases in serum IFN-γ and HBD-2 are related to the occurrence of adverse pregnancy outcomes. |
