Abstract
Opium addiction during pregnancy can have significant effects on the activity of the immune system as well as on pregnancy outcomes. A study was conducted comparing opium-addicted pregnant women to healthy pregnant women. Blood samples were taken from the maternal vein and umbilical cord immediately after delivery to measure concentrations of inflammatory markers. The results showed that the opium-addicted group had significantly higher levels of IL-6, IL-10, CRP, C3, and C4 in both maternal and cord blood samples compared to the control group. Additionally, adverse pregnancy outcomes such as NICU admissions, neonatal deaths, and low Apgar scores were more prevalent in the opium-addicted group. These findings suggest that opium addiction during pregnancy can lead to postpartum inflammation and negatively impact pregnancy outcomes. It is important to address opium addiction and provide appropriate support and treatment to pregnant women to improve pregnancy outcomes and reduce the risk of complications.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
