Effects of centrifugation, storage, and contamination of amniotic fluid on its total phospholipid content.
نویسنده
چکیده
The total phospholipid content of the supernatant fluid decreases rapidly with increasing relative centrifugal force when amniotic fluid is centrifuged. Possible explanations for this are discussed. The effect of storage on the total phospholipid content of amniotic fluid at different temperatures and the influence of contamination with blood and meconium are also described.

Sedimentation of lung-derived phospholipid during low-speed centrifugation of amniotic fluid.
In most methods proposed for the assessment of fetal lung maturity, amniotic fluid is subjected to a preliminary low-speed centrifugation in an attempt to separate whole cells and cell debris from lung-derived surfactant phospholipid (lamellar body phospholipid). However, because lamellar body phospholipid is present in amniotic fluid in a membranous or particulate form, it is also partly sedim...
متن کاملCritical assessment of phospholipid measurement in amniotic fluid.
We assessed several methods of inorganic phosphate assay for their suitability in estimating phospholipids in digested extracts of amniotic fluids. The extraction and digestion procedures used for phospholipids from amniotic fluid were also examined critically. The effect of contamination by blood or obstetric cream has been examined. Accordingly, we suggest a method for measuring total phospho...
متن کاملThe ways of amniotic fluid sampling and its influence on lamellar body count.
Even though artificial surfactant is now available, respiratory distress syndrome still remains a serious problem in neonatology. Prenatal analysis of the amniotic fluid can provide data giving insight into the fetal lung maturity, which enables planning of the further outcome of high-risk pregnancies. Surfactant prevents atelectasis by forming a layer rich in phospholipids between the air and ...

Cyclophosphamide is a chemotherapy drug for the treatment of cancer. Chicken embryo amniotic fluid, vitamin C and coenzyme Q10 have anti-oxidant properties. Total of 70 adult female mice were selected and divided into seven groups. The first group that received 2 ml kg-1 of inactivated amniotic fluid subcutaneously. The second group treated with 75 mg kg-1of cyclophosphami...
متن کاملModified lamellar body phospholipid assay compared with L/S ratio and phosphatidylglycerol assay for assessment of fetal pulmonary status.
We used a modified lamellar body phospholipid (LB-PL) assay to evaluate the effect of sample processing and to evaluate the clinical efficacy of LB-PL determinations. Within-run and between-run CVs for the modified LB-PL assay respectively ranged from 2.9 to 6.7% and from 3.4 to 14.3%. Freezing and storage at -20 degrees C did not affect results for LB-PL (n = 12). Statistically significant amo...
