Placental Protein 13 (PP13) – a placental immunoregulatory galectin protecting pregnancy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Galectins are glycan-binding proteins that regulate innate and adaptive immune responses, and some confer maternal-fetal immune tolerance in eutherian mammals.

High‐elevation adaptation and gestational hypoxia jointly shape vascular development in a rodent placenta

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend We investigated how environmental hypoxia and genetic adaptation to high altitudes jointly impact the development of the placental exchange surface in ways that might protect fetal growth potential. We used wild‐derived, lab‐born North American deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) from low‐elevation and high‐elevation environments (

The contribution of maternal serum markers in the early prenatal diagnosis of molar pregnancies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of maternal serum markers in the early prenatal diagnosis of molar pregnancies. The ultrasound features, cytogenetic and histopathological findings of 10 cases of molar pregnancy diagnosed at 11-13 ...

Human placental exposure to pollutant nanoparticles: uptake, translocation and functional impact

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Prenatal exposure to pollutant nanoparticles has been increasingly investigated due to concerns about their potential effects on placental function and pregnancy outcomes. Maternal inhalation of pollutant nanoparticles can result in a pro‐inflammatory response; particles can also translocate across the alveolus epithelial barrier

The impact of metabolic risk management on recurrence of urinary stones [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Introduction: Urinary stone disease is a common urologic problem and recurrence in stone formation is a very familiar issue to urologists. Although recurrence in stone formation has been linked to metabolic abnormalities, it can be accessible by ...

MCT1‐mediated bidirectional propionate transport across human placental syncytiotrophoblast layer: insights from a trophoblast stem cell‐derived barrier model

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Propionate in the fetal circulation is thought to originate from fermentation of dietary fibre by the maternal gut microbiota. However, the mechanism of transplacental transport has remained unclear. Here, we measured propionate permeability using a placental barrier model generated by differentiating human placental trophoblast ...

Invasive mole in a perimenopausal woman with lung and vaginal metastases: A case report

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, 2019
Gestational trophoblastic disease can result in serious complications and disease progression. Therefore, follow‐up of such patients is essential for early detection of malignant trophoblastic tumors and to reduce mortality rate.

Physiological and anatomical determinants of placental drug transfer

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Fetal exposure to pharmaceuticals and their subsequent clearance back to the maternal circulation are governed by placental transfer. Passive diffusion down a maternal‐to‐fetal concentration gradient is the primary route of fetal drug exposure, with specific compounds undergoing transporter‐mediated transfer.

Placental site trophoblastic tumor: a case report and review of the literature [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We present a case of a gravida 1 para 1 woman, who presented with an 11- month history of amenorrhea after cesarean delivery. The patient was taking birth control pills at the time of presentation.
