چکیده

OBJECTIVE To determine the transfer of 2-naphthol (2-NPH) in fullterm human placental tissues. METHODS Six placentas were studied. The ex-vivo dual closed-loop human placental cotyledon perfusion model was used. 2-NPH was added to the perfusate in the maternal compartment. Samples were obtained from the maternal and fetal up to 360 min measuring. RESULTS The mean fetal weight was 2880 ± 304.2 g. Mean perfused cotyledon weight was 26.3 (±5.5) g. All unperfused placental tissue samples contained NPH with a mean level of 7.98 (±1.73) μg\g compared to a mean of 15.58 (±4.53) μg\g after 360 min perfusion. A rapid drop in maternal 2-NPH concentration was observed; from 5.54 μg\g in the first 15 min and 13.8 μg\g in 360 min. The fetal side increased from 0.65 μg\g in the initial 15 min to 1.5 μg\g in 360 min. The transfer rate of NPH was much lower than that of antipyrine. CONCLUSION 2-NPH has the ability to rapidly across the placenta from the maternal to the fetal compartment within 15 min. The placenta seems to play a role in limiting the passage of 2-NPH in the fetal compartment.

In Vitro Models Using the Human Placenta to Study Fetal Exposure to Drugs

Over the recent years there has been a gradual rise in the use of pharmaceuticals during pregnancy. Knowledge on placental drug transfer and metabolism has increased during the past decades as well. Investigation of the transplacental transfer of any therapeutically useful drug is essential to the understanding of its metabolic processes and is a prerequisite for its use during pregnancy. The p...

Investigating the Complications of Transplacental Needle Passage in Amniocentesis

Background and purpose: Amniocentesis is the most commonly used method for diagnosis of aneuploid and other genetic disorders of the fetus. Cautious should be taken when entering the amniocentesis needle to avoid entering the placenta. The purpose of this study was to investigate the consequences of needle transposition from the placenta during amniocentesis. Materials and methods: In a cohort...
