Alternative method of sampling placentas for the assessment of uteroplacental vasculature.

چکیده
A new method for the taking and embedding of placental blocks to obtain maximum information regarding the uteroplacental vasculature was developed. This method involves taking en face blocks of the basal plate of the placenta. Results show that normal and abnormal maternal vessels are clearly delineated. In addition to conventional full thickness blocks, which provide information about the chorionic plate such as inflammation and meconium pigment uptake, and about the parenchyma in the other zones remote from the basal plate of the placenta, it is recommended that en face blocks be taken for histological assessment of the placenta.

Preeclampsia Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Deficiency Reduces Uterine Blood Flow, Spiral Artery Elongation, and Placental Oxygenation in Pregnant Mice
Preeclampsia is associated with impaired uteroplacental adaptations during pregnancy and abnormalities in the endothelial NO synthase (eNOS)-NO pathway, but whether eNOS deficiency plays a causal role is unknown. Thus, the objective of the current study was to determine the role of eNOS in the mother and/or conceptus in uteroplacental changes during pregnancy using eNOS knockout mice. We quanti...

متن کاملPlacental pathology in early-onset and late-onset fetal growth restriction.
Several histopathological features are found more frequently in placentas from pregnancies complicated by fetal growth restriction (FGR), including villous infarction, maternal vascular changes and villous morphological alterations, although around one quarter of placentas associated with FGR lack any morphological abnormality on routine examination. Since similar changes may also affect clinic...
متن کاملComparison between Alternative Load Path Method and a Direct Applying Blast Loading Method in Assessment of the Progressive Collapse
Extensive research has been focused on the progressive collapse analysis of buildings and most of them are based on the alternative path method (APM) with sudden removal of one or several columns. However, in this method the damage of adjacent elements of removed columns under blast conditions was ignored and this issue can lead to an incorrect prediction of progressive collapse. Therefore, in ...
متن کاملExpressions of VEGF-A and VEGFR-2 in placentae from GDM pregnancies
BACKGROUND Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the most common medical complications of pregnancy, and has important health implications for mother and child. Changes in the fetoplacental vessels may predict those in the vasculature of the developing fetus, as these have been implicated in the pathogenesis of human GDM. This study aimed to determine the differences in the localization...
