Umbilical cord CD71+ erythroid cells are reduced in neonates born to women in spontaneous preterm labor.
PROBLEM Preterm neonates are highly susceptible to infection. Neonatal host defense against infection seems to be maintained by the temporal presence of immunosuppressive CD71+ erythroid cells. The aim of this study was to investigate whether umbilical cord CD71+ erythroid cells are reduced in neonates born to women who undergo spontaneous preterm labor/birth. METHOD OF STUDY Umbilical cord b...
متن کاملIs "Delayed Umbilical Cord Clamping" Beneficial for Premature Newborns?
Background: The appropriate moment for clamping the umbilical cord is controversial. Immediate cord clamping (ICC) is an item of active management of the third stage of labor (AMTSL). Unclamped umbilical cord may cause inconvenience in preterm neonates because they commonly need some levels of emergent services. Some studies revealed delayed cord clamping (DCC) of preterm neonates results in be...
متن کاملPreterm Cord Blood Contains a Higher Proportion of Immature Hematopoietic Progenitors Compared to Term Samples
BACKGROUND Cord blood contains high number of hematopoietic cells that after birth disappear. In this paper we have studied the functional properties of the umbilical cord blood progenitor cells collected from term and preterm neonates to establish whether quantitative and/or qualitative differences exist between the two groups. METHODS AND RESULTS Our results indicate that the percentage of ...
متن کاملEvidence for differential regulation of the adipokine visfatin in the maternal and fetal compartments in normal spontaneous labor at term.
OBJECTIVE Visfatin, a novel adipokine with metabolic and immunoregulatory properties, has been implicated in the regulation of fetal growth, as well as in preterm labor. A gap in knowledge is whether spontaneous labor at term is associated with changes in the maternal and fetal concentrations of visfatin. The aim of this study was to determine if the presence of labor at term is associated with...
متن کاملCorrection for erythroid cell contamination in microassay for immunophenotyping of neonatal lymphocytes.
Immunophenotyping of blood lymphocyte subpopulations in neonates and young infants is hampered by the limited amount of blood that can be collected. Contamination of the flow cytometric "lympho-gate" by normoblasts and analysed erythrocytes, and therefore the underestimation of the relative frequencies of lymphocyte subpopulations, interferes with the precise calculation of absolute counts. A m...
