Human mid-gestation amniotic fluid contains interleukin-16 bioactivity [PDF]

, 2009
CD4-positive cells are detectable in the human fetal gastrointestinal tract from 11 weeks of gestation. Interleukin-16 (IL-16) is a chemoattractant for CD4(+) cells and, via fetal swallowing of amniotic fluid, could mediate the influx of CD4(+) cells ...

Significance of echogenic amniotic fluid at term pregnancy and its association with meconium [PDF]

Al-Azhar International Medical Journal, 2023
Background: echogenicity of amniotic fluid refers to size, number, & amount of particles in AF, which in turn represents turbidity of AF. This could result in identification of echogenic particles via ultrasound, as well recognized as AF sludge, &

Effects on the maternofetal unit of the rabbit model after substitution of the amniotic fluid with perfluorocarbons [PDF]

, 2005
Objectives: Exchanging amniotic fluid (AF) with perfluorocarbon (PFC) may serve as a medium for fetoscopic surgery. This study evaluates the distribution and physiologic effects of intraamniotic PFC as a medium for fetoscopy.

Proteomic analysis for the study of amniotic fluid protein composition [PDF]

, 2009
Amniotic fluid (AF), routinely used for prenatal diagnosis, contains large amounts of proteins produced by the amnion epithelial cells, fetal tissues, fetal excretions and placental tissues. Although many amniotic fluid proteins have been identified and

Clinical Trial on the Usefulness of On-Site Evaluation of Canine Fetal Fluids by Reagent Test Strip in Puppies at Elective Caesarean Section

Biology, 2021
The reagent urinary test strips (TS) marketed for urines represent the first-line diagnostic tool in many instances. Therefore, the aim of the study was to assess the usefulness of TS for the on-field evaluation of fetal fluids’ composition in newborn ...

Human amniotic fluid glycoproteins expressing sialyl Lewis carbohydrate antigens stimulate progesterone production in human trophoblasts in vitro [PDF]

, 2004
Background: Progesterone is thought to mediate immune modulator effects by regulating uterine responsiveness. The aim of the study was to clarify the effect of transferrin and glycodelin A (former name PP14) as sialyl Lewis X-expressing glycoproteins on ...

Preterm labor is characterized by a high abundance of amniotic fluid prostaglandins in patients with intra-amniotic infection or sterile intra-amniotic inflammation

, 2021
Spontaneous preterm labor is one of the “great obstetrical syndromes” which may lead to preterm delivery, a leading cause for neonatal and infant death. Prostaglandins are considered universal mediators for the onset of spontaneous labor at term.
