We have recently reported that human pregnancy is characterized by a 10- to 20-fold elevation of eosinophil major basic protein (MBP) immunoreactivity in maternal blood. Here we show, by immunofluorescence, that placental tissue specifically binds antibody to MBP in and around the placental X cells and placental-site giant cells and, using thin plastic sections, that placenta has no infiltratin...

background & aim: occupational exposures can cause problems such as reproductive system disorders; however, the effects of some exposures, such as psychological stress, have not been investigated yet. this study aims to investigate the effects of women’s psychological stress on obstetric disorders. methods:this historical cohort study was conducted on 1400 working women in mashhad, iran. data c...

Background: Adrenomedullin (ADM) is a vasoactive peptide hormone found in adrenal medulla, central nervous system, immune cells, and muscle, expressed the uterus placenta. ADM plays important roles angiogenesis, vasodilation, inflammation. Altered levels of have been implicated adverse pregnancy outcomes like fetal growth restriction pre-eclampsia. Animal models can be useful tools for examinin...

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the safety of fetal delivery through placental incision in a placenta previa pregnancy.

Erythropoietin (EP) mRNA was measured in normal and anemic mice during fetal and postnatal development. Normal fetal livers at 14 d of gestation contained a low level of EP mRNA. By day 19 of gestation, no EP mRNA was detected in normal or anemic fetal livers or normal fetal kidneys, but anemic fetal kidneys had low levels of EP mRNA. Newborn through adult stage mice responded to anemia by accu...

We tested hypotheses that disproportionately large placental size and vascular lesions were associated with high systolic blood pressure (SBP); and these associations might be more evident with age. The sample included 13 273 of 40 666 full-term singletons in the Collaborative Perinatal Project. Placentas were examined by pathologists blinded of pregnancy courses and outcomes. The 4-month and 7...

•Histologic morphology is frequently equivocal for PSTTs.•Histology combined with immunohistochemical staining was necessary to make the diagnosis.•PSTT confined to the uterus was successfully treated with surgery alone.
