The origin of amniotic fluid monocytes/macrophages in women with intra-amniotic inflammation or infection. [PDF]

J Perinat Med, 2019
AbstractBackgroundMonocytes, after neutrophils, are the most abundant white blood cells found in the amniotic cavity of women with intra-amniotic inflammation/infection. However, the origin of such cells has not been fully investigated. Herein, we determined (1) the origin of amniotic fluid monocytes/macrophages from women with intra-amniotic ...

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).

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.

Clarithromycin prevents preterm birth and neonatal mortality by dampening alarmin-induced maternal–fetal inflammation in mice

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2022
Background One of every four preterm neonates is born to a woman with sterile intra-amniotic inflammation (inflammatory process induced by alarmins); yet, this clinical condition still lacks treatment.

IgGFc-binding protein in pregnancies complicated by spontaneous preterm delivery: a retrospective cohort study

Scientific Reports, 2021
To determine the IgGFc-binding protein (FcgammaBP) concentration in amniotic and cervical fluids in preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) and preterm labor with intact membranes (PTL) and to assess the diagnostic indices of FcgammaBP to predict ...

Resistin in amniotic fluid and its association with intra-amniotic infection and inflammation [PDF]

The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2008
Intra-amniotic infection/inflammation (IAI) is one of the most important mechanisms of disease in preterm birth. Resistin is an adipocytokine that has been linked to insulin resistance, diabetes, obesity and inflammation. The objective of this study was to determine if resistin is present in amniotic fluid (AF) and if its concentration changes with ...

Host-microbiome interactions in distinct subsets of preterm labor and birth

iScience, 2023
Summary: Preterm birth, the leading cause of perinatal morbidity, often follows premature labor, a syndrome whose prevention remains a challenge. To better understand the relationship between premature labor and host-microbiome interactions, we conducted
