Cytokine production in chorioamnionitis

Journal of Reproductive Immunology, 2000
Lymphohematopoietic cytokines play a significant role in many biological mechanisms including a number of reproductive processes such as ovulation, implantation, placentation, cervical dilation and parturition. Recent experiments have suggested that cytokines play a crucial role in the mechanisms of preterm labor and delivery, which are the leading ...

Re-evaluation of chorioamnionitis and funisitis with a special reference to subacute chorioamnionitis

Human Pathology, 2002
Our purpose is to prove that prolonged inflammation of the chorionic plate, which we have termed subacute chorioamnionitis (SCAM), is a distinctive entity and should be differentiated from acute chorioamnionitis (ACAM) because it is an excellent prognostic indicator of chronic lung disease (CLD), including Wilson-Mikity syndrome (WMS). Ninety singleton

Chorioamnionitis and bacterial vaginosis

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1993
An improved understanding of bacterial vaginosis and of clinical intraamniotic infection and histologic chorioamnionitis has produced data showing strong associations among these conditions. It has recently been shown that the microorganisms in both bacterial vaginosis and clinical intraamniotic infection are similar, of which anaerobes, Gardnerella ...

Chorioamnionitis and the prognosis for term infants

Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1999
To assess the effects of clinical chorioamnionitis and labor complications on short-term neonatal morbidity, including seizures.This was a retrospective cohort study of all live-born term infants who weighed more than 2500 g delivered between 1988 and 1997 at Parkland Memorial Hospital, Dallas, Texas.

Chorioamnionitis and prematurity: a critical review

The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2012
Chorioamnionitis is the inflammatory response to an acute inflammation of the membranes and chorion of the placenta. We provide a critical review of the relationship between chorioamnionitis and the risk of prematurity and adverse maternal-fetal outcome.

Prostaglandins, chorioamnionitis and preterm labour

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 1987
Summary. The production of prostaglandin E (PGE) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) by amnion was measured in vitro in 12 women delivered after spontaneous preterm labour and in 15 women delivered after spontaneous labour at term. The placenta and fetal membranes were examined histologically in all cases. PGE output (fmol/mg dry weight/2 h) in the amnions from

Chorioamnionitis and Intraamniotic Infection

Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1993
Intraamniotic infection is a common (2-4%) event in labor. The predictors of IAI include preterm labor or rupture of membranes, abnormal vaginal flora (e.g., GBS, sexually transmitted disease, bacterial vaginosis), obstetric manipulations (e.g., vaginal exams, internal fetal monitoring) in the presence of ruptured membranes, and diminished host ...

Chorioamnionitis and inflammation of the fetal lung

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2001
Fetal intrauterine exposure to proinflammatory cytokines present in amniotic fluid has been associated with an increased risk of chronic lung disease. However, the impact of histologically confirmed chorioamnionitis on the fetal lung has not yet been elucidated.

The Fetus at Risk: Chorioamnionitis

2012
Infection and inflammatory injury are the major threats during pregnancy. The extraembryonic tissues play important roles in protecting the fetus. From 10–12 days post conception (p.c.), yolk sack and allantoic vessels provide nutrition to the embryo. By 20 days conception p.c. fetal vessels are discernible in developing villi.

Chorioamnionitis

The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 1986
Chorioamnionitis is both a clinical and a histopathologic diagnosis. The latter may be clinically silent, but it commonly accompanies reproductive casualty and premature birth. Satisfactory delineation of its pathogenesis is elusive. Detailed histologic study indicates that endometrial inflammation usually precedes that of the membranes.
