background and aim: preeclampsia is a considerable problem of pregnancy. endothelial dysfunction and placental hypoxia are the current hypothesis of preeclampsia. chronic inflammation, including periodontitis may provoke systemic maternal and placental pro-inflammatory endothelial dysfunction, which represent a significant risk factor for diseases of vascular origin. so this study was carried o...

introduction: regarding to the recent advances in assisted reproductive techniques (art), twin and multiple pregnancies have increased during past years. objective: this study was performed to compare obstetrics and perinatal outcomes of dichorionic twin pregnancy following art with spontaneous pregnancy. materials and methods: in this cross-sectional study which was performed in ghaem hospital...

background: the aim of this study was to evaluate maternal and perinatal outcomes in preeclampsia (pe), according to the value of albumin.materials and methods: preeclamptic women were retrospectively divided into mild hypoproteinemia (mhp, n = 220) and severe hypoproteinemia (shp, n = 79) pe according to the value of albumin. the maternal and perinatal outcomes were evaluated in both groups. r...

Porphyromonas gingivalis is a gram-negative anaerobic pathogen, involved in the development of periodontal disease. Current evidence has associated this periodontopathogen with systemic disorders such as preterm birth, low birth weight, and preeclampsia. The aim systematic review was to identify, through literature, influence P. on immune response pregnant women, presence microorganism placenta...

Background: FcγRIIb acts as a negative feedback regulator by inhibiting B-cell antigen receptor-elicited activation signals through tyrosine phosphorylation of immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM). FcγRIIb gene polymorphisms might be related to the lower level of IgG antibody response to periodontal bacteria and lead to the development of periodontitis. Our previous studies sho...
