Single extracellular vesicle analysis in human amniotic fluid shows evidence of phenotype alterations in preeclampsia

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, 2022
Amniotic fluid surrounding the developing fetus is a complex biological fluid rich in metabolically active bio‐factors. The presence of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in amniotic fluid has been mainly related to foetal urine. We here characterized EVs from

Amniotic fluid disorders and the effects on prenatal outcome: a retrospective cohort study

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2021
Background The amniotic fluid is a protective liquid present in the amniotic sac. Two types of amniotic fluid disorders have been identified. First refers to polyhydramnios, which is an immoderate volume of amniotic fluid with an Amniotic Fluid Index ...

Compartmentalized profiling of amniotic fluid cytokines in women with preterm labor.

PLoS ONE, 2020
ObjectiveAmniotic fluid cytokines have been implicated in the mechanisms of preterm labor and birth. Cytokines can be packaged within or on the surface of extracellular vesicles.

RNA Sequencing Reveals Diverse Functions of Amniotic Fluid Neutrophils and Monocytes/Macrophages in Intra-Amniotic Infection

Journal of Innate Immunity, 2020
Intra-amniotic infection, the invasion of microbes into the amniotic cavity resulting in inflammation, is a clinical condition that can lead to adverse pregnancy outcomes for the mother and fetus as well as severe long-term neonatal morbidities.

Perfluorooctane sulfonate concentrations in amniotic fluid, biomarkers of fetal Leydig cell function, and cryptorchidism and hypospadias in Danish boys (1980–1996) [PDF]

Environmental Health Perspectives, 2016
Background: Exposure to perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) may potentially disturb fetal Leydig cell hormone production and male genital development. Objectives: We aimed to study the associations between levels of amniotic fluid PFOS, fetal steroid ...

Clinical significance of turbid amniotic fluid on peripartum outcome

SVU - International Journal of Medical Sciences, 2022
Background: The fluid that envelops a growing fetus in the amniotic sac is called amniotic fluid (AF), many maternal and fetal components share in composition of amniotic fluid, In the last three months of pregnancy, AF turbidity increases and was ...

Clinical characteristics of colonization of the amniotic cavity in women with preterm prelabor rupture of membranes, a retrospective study

Scientific Reports, 2022
To determine the main clinical characteristics of preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) complicated by colonization of the amniotic cavity (microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity without intra-amniotic inflammation).

The meconium microbiota shares more features with the amniotic fluid microbiota than the maternal fecal and vaginal microbiota

Gut microbes, 2020
The early-life gut microbiota is associated with potential development of diseases in adulthood. The sterile womb paradigm has been challenged by recent reports that revealed the presence of the meconium, amniotic fluid, and placenta microbiome.

Amniotic fluid interleukin-6 and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin for predicting fetal inflammatory response syndrome based on histological chorioamnionitis and funisitis

Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2023
Objective: We aimed to analyze the predictive efficacy of amniotic fluid interleukin-6 (IL-6) and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) for fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS)-related infection.
