Development of a Rat Model of Intra-Amniotic Inflammation via Ultrasound-Guided Administration of a Triggering Agent in the Gestational Sac to Enable Analysis of Individual Amniotic Fluid Samples

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Objectives: To develop a rat model of intra-amniotic inflammation, characterized by the concentration of interleukin-6 in the amniotic fluid, induced by an ultrasound-guided transabdominal administration of lipopolysaccharide into individual gestational ...

Demonstration of astrocytes in cultured amniotic fluid cells of three cases with neural-tube defect [PDF]

, 1981
We have investigated the origin of rapidly adhering (RA) cells in three cases of neural tube defects (two anencephali, one encephalocele). We were able to demonstrate the presence of glial fibrillary acidic (GFA) protein in variable percentages (4–80 ...

The earlier the gestational age, the greater the intensity of the intra-amniotic inflammatory response in women with preterm premature rupture of membranes and amniotic fluid infection by Ureaplasma species

Journal of Perinatal Medicine, 2019
Objectives To determine the relationship between the intensity of the intra-amniotic inflammatory response and the gestational age at the time of diagnosis in cases with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PROM) and intra-amniotic infection caused by

Cellular immune responses in amniotic fluid of women with preterm labor and intra‐amniotic infection or intra‐amniotic inflammation

American Journal of Reproductive Immunology, 2019
Preterm birth is commonly preceded by preterm labor, a syndrome that is causally linked to both intra‐amniotic infection and intra‐amniotic inflammation.
