Journal ArticleDOI

Human neutrophil collagenase (matrix metalloproteinase 8) in parturition, premature rupture of the membranes, and intrauterine infection.

Eli Maymon, +6 more
- 01 Jul 2000 - 
TL;DR: Spontaneous human parturition was associated with a significant increase in amniotic fluid concentrations of MMP-8 in both term and preterm gestation, and patients with preterm labor who delivered preterm had a significantly higher median amniotics fluid M MP-8 concentration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antimicrobial peptides in amniotic fluid: defensins, calprotectin and bacterial/permeability-increasing protein in patients with microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity, intra-amniotic inflammation, preterm labor and premature rupture of membranes.

Jimmy Espinoza, +15 more
- 01 Jan 2003 - 
TL;DR: Elevated amniotic fluid concentrations of BPI, immunoreactive HNP 1-3, BPI and calprotectin are associated with intra-amniotic inflammation, histological chorioamnionitis and shorter amniocentesis-to-delivery interval in patients presenting with preterm labor with intact membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence of in vivo differential bioavailability of the active forms of matrix metalloproteinases 9 and 2 in parturition, spontaneous rupture of membranes, and intra-amniotic infection.

Eli Maymon, +6 more
- 01 Oct 2000 - 
TL;DR: The authors' observations provide evidence for a novel regulation of gelatinolytic activity in vivo and explore the participation of these enzymes in labor, rupture of membranes, and microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity.
Journal ArticleDOI

The tumor necrosis factor α and its soluble receptor profile in term and preterm parturition

Eli Maymon, +6 more
- 01 Nov 1999 - 
TL;DR: Observations provide support for the thesis that preterm parturition is a pathologic condition and increased tumor necrosis factor α soluble receptor concentrations may attenuate the deleterious effects of the excess of tumor necrot factor α found in pathologic labor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neutrophil elastase and secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor in prelabor rupture of membranes, parturition and intra-amniotic infection.

B. R. Helmig, +7 more
- 01 Oct 2002 - 
TL;DR: Neutrophil elastase (NE), a multifunctional serine protease stored in azurophilic granules of mature neutrophils, is capable of intracellular degradation of proteins during phagocytosis and extracellular degrade of connective tissue during an inflammatory process.
