OBJECTIVE In this study we tested the hypothesis that nicotine restores proangiogenic functions to endothelial cells pretreated with soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 and/or soluble endoglin. METHODS Wound healing assay and tube formation assay were performed using human umbilical vein endothelial

Aims: Placental tissues from patients with preeclampsia (PE) and in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced PE-like model were used to investigate the implication of placental inflammation and apoptosis in PE. Whether the beneficial effects

OBJECTIVE We assessed tobacco exposure in nulliparous women with preeclampsia compared with that in control subjects by measuring urinary cotinine to confirm the reduced risk of preeclampsia associated with tobacco exposure during pregnancy. METHODS A case-control study group of 50 women with

Normal pregnancy is the controlled state of inflammation and this systemic inflammatory response is reported to be more intense in preeclampsia. The current study tested the hypothesis that maternal serum stimulates interleukin 6 (IL-6) production from endothelial cells and that nicotine inhibits

Preeclampsia (PE) exerts a more intense systemic inflammatory response than normal pregnancy. Recently, the role of the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway (CAP) in regulating inflammation has been extensively studied. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of nicotine, a selective

Preeclampsia is a leading cause of maternal and infant mortality and morbidity worldwide. Both Swedish snuff and cigarette smoke include nicotine, but combustion products accompany only smoking. The aims of this study were to compare the effects of Swedish snuff and cigarette smoking on preeclampsia

Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH), also known as preeclampsia, is one of the major causes of maternal and fetal death. While the precise cause of PIH is not known, aberrant cytokine production and placenta participation are considered to be important factors. Gestational cigarette smoking, which

Analysis of 7776 singleton births defined a cohort of babies with birthweight below the 10th percentile after adjusting for gestational age and sex. The relative risk of a baby being small for gestational age in respect to a number of factors, such as parental anthropometry, demographic factors,

Use of smokeless tobacco (ST) (chewing tobacco and snuff) can lead to a number of consequences detrimental to health. ST rapidly delivers high doses of nicotine, which can lead to dependence and is also a source of carcinogenic nitrosamines. Changes usually develop in the mouth area where the ST is

The use of snus (smokeless tobacco) can be detrimental to health. Containing carcinogenic nitrosamines (Swedish snus do not contain nitrosamine). Snus delivers rapidly high doses of nicotine which can lead to dependence. It do not induce bronchial carcinoma differently smoked tobacco. Lesions

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to examine birth outcomes in women treated or untreated for thrombophilia during pregnancies affected or not by tobacco exposure. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of consecutive women from a single maternal fetal medicine clinic who delivered

The purpose of this study was to investigate associations between Doppler measurements and adverse outcomes in an obstetric population with high tobacco use. This retrospective study included patients with Doppler data (umbilical systolic/diastolic velocity ratios (S/D), uterine S/D, uterine

In pre-eclamptic and in smoking women, the foetus often develops growth retardation. Hence, nicotine as vasoconstrictive substance increases the blood pressure, therefore causes a higher incidence for pre-eclamptic toxaemia in smoking pregnant women. By means of perinatal inquiry in

In prenatal life the fetus can be exposed to more incentires which affect the mother. In case of both active and passive smoking by pregnant women many pernicious substances contained in tobacco smoke can influence the foetus. The components of tobacco smoke can contribute to various antenatal

OBJECTIVE We previously reported that nicotine decreases leukocyte adhesion to uterine vascular endothelial cells in vivo under ischemic conditions in pregnant rabbits. To further investigate the mechanism of decreased leukocyte-endothelial adhesion by nicotine exposure, the effect of nicotine on
