Soluble endoglin and transforming growth factor‐β1 in women who subsequently developed preeclampsiaPrenatal Diagnosis - Tập 29 Số 5 - Trang 471-476 - 2009

AbstractObjectiveThis study aimed to analyze the differences of soluble endoglin
(sEng) and transforming growth factor‐beta1 (TGF‐β1) according to preeclamptic
complications and to investigate the correlation between these factors and the
clinical symptoms of preeclampsia.MethodWe estimated the levels of sEng and
TGF‐β1 in plasma collected in the second trimester at the time of genetic

First‐trimester maternal placental protein 13 levels in pregnancies resulting in adverse outcomesPrenatal Diagnosis - Tập 28 Số 2 - Trang 121-125 - 2008
Nicholas J. Cowans, Kevin Spencer, Hamutal Meiri
AbstractBackgroundIn a previous study, reduced levels of maternal serum
placental protein 13 (PP13) in the first trimester have been correlated with
adverse pregnancy outcomes. The objective of this study was to compare
first‐trimester PP13 levels in control pregnancies with pregnancies resulting in
one or more of the following adverse outcomes: intrauterine growth restriction
(IUGR), small and ve... hiện toàn bộ
PP13 mRNA expression in the cellular component of maternal blood as a marker for preeclampsiaPrenatal Diagnosis - Tập 29 Số 13 - Trang 1231-1236 - 2009
Hanako Shimizu, Akihiko Sekizawa, Yuditiya Purwosunu, Masamitsu Nakamura, Antonio Farina, Nicola Rizzo, Takashi Okai
AbstractObjectiveTo assess the PP13 expression in the cellular component of
blood in both preeclamptic patients and asymptomatic pregnant women during the
early second trimester.MethodsIn the case–control study, peripheral blood
samples were obtained from pregnant women with preeclampsia (n = 24) and
controls (n = 22). PP13 RNA expression was quantified in the cellular component
of the blood by re... hiện toàn bộ
Placental protein 13 as a first trimester screening marker for aneuploidyPrenatal Diagnosis - Tập 29 Số 13 - Trang 1237-1241 - 2009
Maria P. H. Koster, E. J. Wortelboer, Howard Cuckle, P. Stoutenbeek, Gerard H. A. Visser, Peter C. J. I. Schielen
AbstractObjectiveTo determine whether Placental Protein 13 (PP13) could be an
additional marker in first trimester screening for aneuploidies.MethodsTo
evaluate differences in multiples of the gestation‐specific normal median
(MoMs), PP13 concentrations were measured in serum samples from Down syndrome,
trisomy 18 and 13 affected pregnancies and euploid singleton pregnancies (four
for each case ma... hiện toàn bộ
Polymorphisms in genes related to folate and cobalamin metabolism and the associations with complex birth defectsPrenatal Diagnosis - Tập 28 Số 6 - Trang 485-493 - 2008
Raf Brouns, N. T. C. Ursem, Jan Lindemans, Wim C.J. Hop, Saskia M.F. Pluijm, Eric A.P. Steegers, Régine P.M. Steegers‐Theunissen
AbstractObjectiveTo investigate the associations between biomarkers and genetic
variants involved in homocysteine metabolism and the risk of complex birth
defects.MethodsTotal homocysteine (tHcy), folate, cobalamin, apo‐transcobalamin
(apo‐TC) and apo‐haptocorrin (apo‐HC) were measured in the amniotic fluid of 82
women who were pregnant with a child having a complex birth defect, such as

Funipuncture for fetocide in late termination of pregnancyPrenatal Diagnosis - Tập 22 Số 5 - Trang 354-356 - 2002
M.V. Senat, C. Fischer, Y. Ville
AbstractThe most widely used method for fetocide in late termination of
pregnancy for fetal abnormalities (TOPFA) consists of injecting of potassium
chloride (KCl) into the fetal heart and is likely to be painful after 22 weeks
of gestation. We studied ten consecutive women undergoing TOPFA between 22 and
38 weeks. This technique for fetocide consisted of a single umbilical vein
puncture under ult... hiện toàn bộ
Animal models of fetal renal diseasePrenatal Diagnosis - Tập 21 Số 11 - Trang 917-923 - 2001
Péter Nyírády
AbstractFetal models of urinary tract disease have been used for many years and
have provided unique and important insights into the pathophysiology of these
conditions. This review will summarize the principal model systems used and the
current directions of investigation. These models (including rabbit, opossum,
sheep and recently swine) have demonstrated that in utero obstruction of the
urinary... hiện toàn bộ
