Peripheral, Placental and Cord Cytokines Profile in Spontaneous Labor and Elective Caesarean Section
Authors
Abstract:
Background: Cesarean section delivery can lead to much maternal morbidity. Different cytokines have been reported to be influenced by the mode of delivery. Objective: To investigate the influence of mode of delivery on maternal, placental and cord sera of interferon gamma (IFN-γ), interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) levels. Methods: These three cytokines were measured using ELISA in peripheral, placental and cord sera of two groups of women (38 in each group), either delivering vaginally or by elective cesarean section. Results: Concentrations of IFN-γ, IL-4 and IL-10 in the peripheral and placental sera were higher in vaginal delivery, while cord cytokines were not significantly different in the two groups. Cord sera contained significantly less con-centrations of these cytokines than the peripheral and placental sera. Conclusion: It ap-pears that the levels of IFN-γ, IL-4 and IL-10 are influenced by the mode of delivery.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the mode of delivery on the oxidant and antioxidant system in mothers and their neonates and to demonstrate which mode leads to more oxidative stress. Methods: Eighty two cases with singleton term pregnancies were prospectively recruited and classified into two groups: those who had Vaginal Delivery (VD group; n = 52), and th...

Fetal aortic and umbilical blood flows were studied in 15 mothers before and during spinal (intrathecal) anaesthesia for elective Caesarean section, using a method combining real-time ultrasonography and a pulsed Doppler technique. Spinal anaesthesia with 0.5% bupivacaine hydrochloride 2.5 ml in 8% glucose monohydrate solution was administered after preloading with 2 litre of lactated Ringer's ...
full textStatus of neonates delivered by elective Caesarean section.
A series of 144 elective Caesarean sections is reported. One hundred and five patients had no evidence of placental dysfunction (group A), of whom 57 (40 with vertex presentation) received extradural analgesia. The remaining 39 patients comprised group B. The uterine incision to delivery (U-D) interval was little influenced by presentation, but was longer with extradural block. Among group A pa...
