Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a multi-system disorder thought to be mediated by circulating factors released from damaged placental villous trophoblast. There is extensive evidence of changes in the villous tissue in PE, some of which may be replicated by culturing villous tissue in hypoxic conditions.
The fundamental process of placental trophoblast cell fusion (syncytiotrophoblast formation or syncytialisation) which is a characteristic of this tissue is poorly understood. Pre-eclampsia is associated with placental hypoxia and suppressed syncytiotrophoblast formation. We therefore have studied
OBJECTIVE
We studied the effect of pre-eclampsia sera on the expression of placenta growth factor (PlGF), soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1), metal-responsive transcription factor-1 (MTF-1), heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) and hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) mRNAs in JEG-3 cells
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and its receptor complex, IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) and gp130, are critical in induction of suppressor of cytokine signalling-3 (SOCS-3) protein, a negative cytokine regulator and anti-inflammatory mediator, in a biological system. Increased inflammatory response is believed to
Changes in immune status, central hemodynamics, oxygen regimen and endogenous intoxication indexes have been compared in patients with eclampsia combined with blood loss and in patients with isolated blood loss. It has been established that severe septic processes were 1.5 times and lethality was 4
On the basis of a series of 18 cases of severe eclampsia, the authors analyse the predisposing circumstances for these episodes and the method of delivery. Caesarian section is still the usual method of delivery in severe cases (12/18). There is a high perinatal mortality (4/18), which is
Few data are available on the role of hypoxia in sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). The purpose of this study was to assess whether 10 antenatal factors consistent with in utero hypoxia were associated with an increased risk of SIDS. Cases and two sets of controls were chosen from the Upstate New
Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a serious hypertensive disorder of pregnancy that remains a leading cause of perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Placental ischemia/hypoxia and the secretion of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt1) into maternal circulation are involved in the
Hypoxia is a normal and essential part of embryonic development. However, this state may leave the embryo vulnerable to damage when oxygen supply is disturbed. Embryofetal response to hypoxia is dependent on duration and depth of hypoxia, as well as developmental stage. Early postimplantation rat
Eclampsia is a grand mal convulsion associated with pregnancy-induced hypertension. It is caused by cerebral hypoxia from intense vasospasm combined with cerebral oedema. CT scans show cerebral ischaemia from thrombosis and oedema.
Intravenous glucose tolerance tests were performed on 30 primigravidae with pre-eclampsia and 15 normal primigravidae in late pregnancy. The groups were matched for age, height and weight and had no stigmata of potential diabetes. Plasma glucose, plasma immunoreactive insulin and plasma placental
BACKGROUND
Reduced placental perfusion predisposes to the maternal syndrome pre-eclampsia characterized by systemically reduced perfusion. Considerable data support the role of angiogenic factors in the development of the maternal syndrome. Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1) mediates the cellular
Placental hypoxia, ischaemia, reperfusion and resultant oxidative stress, with the release of various factors into the maternal vasculature acting as mediators of endothelial cell dysfunction, play an important role in the development of pre-eclampsia. Human term placental tissue explants were
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of hypoxia on the activity of nucleolar organizer regions (AgNORs) in placentas obtained from healthy women and patients with late gestosis (pre-eclampsia). Chorionic villi from healthy and pre-eclamptic placentas were incubated in hypoxic
