Midtrimester amniotic fluid adiponectin in normal pregnancy.
0.0001 by Wilcoxon signed-rank test) and based on the 99th percentile values for each assay, 9 discordances were found between assays for values within the reference interval vs increased values. The ADVIA TnI-Ultra method showed no interference from dilutions with plasma samples that contained high concentration of triglycerides (6.6 g/L, final dilution 1:128; y 0.044 0.14x, n 8, R 0.99) or he...
متن کاملPeptidome analysis of amniotic fluid from pregnancies with preeclampsia
Preeclampsia (PE), a life‑threatening, complicated pregnancy‑associated disease, has recently become a research focus in obstetrics. However, the peptidome of the amniotic fluid in PE patients has rarely been investigated. The present study used peptidomic profiling to perform a comparative analysis of human amniotic fluid between normal and PE pregnancies. Centrifugal ultrafiltration and liquid...
متن کاملTermination of midtrimester pregnancies by intra-amniotic injection of hypertonic saline.
Amniocentesis and intra-amniotic injection of hypertonic saline to terminate pregnancy in the second trimester has at~ tained great importance in recent [Years. That such a method was not accepted or currently used in leading obstetric institutiolll3 can be easily demonstrated. In Scandinavia, where an average of 3,354 pregnancies were legally terminated annually from 1955 to 1965, abdominal by...
متن کاملMidkine and Pleiotrophin Concentrations in Amniotic Fluid in Healthy and Complicated Pregnancies.
BACKGROUND Midkine (MDK) and pleiotrophin (PTN) are heparin-binding growth factors that, in rodents, are highly expressed in early life and decrease to undetectable levels by adulthood. The potential roles of MDK and PTN in human growth and development are not completely elucidated. METHOD AND FINDINGS To delineate the role of MDK and PTN in human development, we developed high sensitivity as...
متن کاملInvestigation of Midtrimester Amniotic Fluid Factors as Potential Predictors of Term and Preterm Deliveries
AIMS Our aim is to investigate, in 13 cases (delivering preterm) and 21 matched (for age, parity, and gestational age) controls (delivering at term), whether midtrimester amniotic fluid concentrations of elastase, secretory leukocyte proteinase inhibitor (SLPI), soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1, and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule predict asymptomatic intra-amniotic inflammatio...
