چکیده

Methods This study designed prospectively 33 pregnant women between 5 to 7 gestational weeks with a history of unexplained RSA included in this study. 47 normal pregnant women between 5 to 7 gestational weeks without history of infertility and/or RSA included as a control. Peripheral blood natural killer (pbNK) (CD3/56) fractions among peripheral blood monocyte (PBMC) were checked by flow cytometry. Uterine color-pulsed Doppler trans-vaginal ultrasound for evaluation of uterine radial artery RI was checked. Uterine radial artery resistance index (RI) compared between study and control group. After then, uterine radial artery RI was compared between high pbNK cell fraction above 12.1% among PBMC and normal pbNK cells fraction below 12.1%. Correlation between pbNK cell fraction to uterine radial artery RI was also evaluated.

The Assessment of NK Cytotoxicity and CD56+/CD16+ Phenotype by Flowcytometry in PBL Isolated from Women with Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion

Background: Human peripheral blood NK cells constitutively express CD56 and CD16 antigens. Peripheral blood NK cells seem to be strongly related with decidual NK cells, and may reflect the decidual NK cell functional status. There are varied reports concerning the relationship between NK cell cytotoxicity in women with recurrent spontaneous abortion. Objective: To study NK activity in women wit...

Introduction: Immunological processes play an important role in recurrent spontaneous abortion(RSA). According to studies, T lymphocytes and natural killer cells(NK cells) are two effective cell groups in RSA. The aim of this study was to study the percentage and absolute number of natural killer(NK) cells in women with RSA of unknown etiology. Methods: A total of 24 women with history of recu...
