Three-dimensional morphological analysis of placental terminal villi [PDF]
Interface Focus, 2019 Transport of nutrients and waste between the maternal and fetal circulations during pregnancy takes place at the final branches of the placental villous trees. Therefore, and unsurprisingly, pregnancy complications have been related to the maldevelopment of terminal villi.

Quantitative Research of Capillaries in Terminal Villi of Mature Placentae [PDF]
Biomolecules & Biomedicine, 2010 Advanced maternal age is known to be a risk factor for placental dysfunctions. The most common obstetric complications among older women would be considered as follows: gestational diabetes; preeclampsia; placenta praevia; preterm premature rupture of ...

Stereological analysis of terminal villi of the placentas of pregnant woman with sideropenic anemia. [PDF]
Bosn J Basic Med Sci, 2014 Iron deficiency, causing maternal sideropenic anemia, is one of the most frequent nutritive disorder that develops during the pregnancy. We collected 30 placentas from anemic mothers and 30 placentas from mothers belonging to the control group. Terminal villi (magnification 10x) and terminal villi capillaries (magnification 40x) were stereologically ...

Three-dimensional modeling of human placental terminal villi [PDF]
Placenta, 2016 Placental transport is the main factor affecting the health and development of the fetus. Due to the placenta's geometrical and mathematical complexity, the structure-function relations of placental terminal villi have not been successfully modeled.

Decrease in Sphingomyelin (d18:1/16:0) in Stem Villi and Phosphatidylcholine (16:0/20:4) in Terminal Villi of Human Term Placentas with Pathohistological Maternal Malperfusion. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Placental villi play pivotal roles in feto-maternal transportation and phospholipids constitute a major part of the villous membrane. We have been developing and optimizing an imaging system based on a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI ...

Computational modeling of the structure-function relationship in human placental terminal villi [PDF]
Journal of Biomechanics, 2016 Placental oxygen transport takes place at the final branches of the villous tree and is dictated by the relative arrangement of the maternal and fetal circulations. Modeling techniques have failed to accurately assess the structure-function relationship in the terminal villi due to the geometrical complexity.

Histomorphological and morphometrical changes of placental terminal villi of normotensive and preeclamptic mothers [PDF]
Anatomy and Cell Biology, 2013 Placental morphology and cellular arrangement are altered in maternal diseases such as preeclampsia (PE) in which oxygen delivery from the mother to the fetus is greatly disturbed, ultimately resulting in cellular oxidative stress. The present study was conducted at the Department of Anatomy and included 112 placentas (56 each from mothers with and ...

Effect of vitamin D3 supplementation starting mid-pregnancy on placental angiogenic factors and terminal villi: a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial in Bangladesh [PDF]
BMC Pregnancy and ChildbirthBackground Angiogenesis is essential for placental growth and development. Improper placental vascular development can reduce blood flow to the fetus and increase the risk of adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes.

Quantification of tissue fibronectin from terminal villi of placenta [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1985 Tissue fibronectin (TFn) was solubilized from the terminal villi of perfused human placentas by sequential chemical extractions and plasmin digestion. Alternatively, plasmin digestion of intact tissue solubilized all the TFn, which amounted to 1.8-2.9% of the dry weight of the villi. Concomitantly, 69% of the tissue was solubilized. The non-equilibrium

Imaging and quantification of placental terminal villi microvasculature and nuclear characteristics in preeclampsia [PDF]
European Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive BiologyGlobally, at least 10 % of maternal deaths, caused by obstetric complications during pregnancy, are linked to preeclampsia or eclampsia. Preeclampsia-induced placental hypoxia leads to vascular injury and syncytial knot formation in terminal villi. Early delivery of preeclampsia placentas complicates comparisons with normotensive term placentas, while ...
