Immunologic Aspects of Preterm Labor
Murray D. Mitchell,Murray D. Mitchell,D. Ware Branch,D. Ware Branch,Sarah Lundin-Schiller,Sarah Lundin-Schiller,Roberto Romero,Roberto Romero,Raymond A. Daynes,Raymond A. Daynes,Donald J. Dudley,Donald J. Dudley +11 more
TL;DR: The role of the immune system in the mechanism(s) of the onset and progression of labor at term is unknown, little relevant information is available, and the most obvious connection lies in the secretion and action of cytokines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maternal plasma angiogenic index-1 (placental growth factor/soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1) is a biomarker for the burden of placental lesions consistent with uteroplacental underperfusion: a longitudinal case-cohort study.

TL;DR: Maternal plasma angiogenic index-1 (PlGF/sVEGFR-1) is the first biomarker for the burden of placental lesions consistent with MVU, and it is proposed that an accumulation of these lesions in placentas delivered before 34 weeks is a histologic counterpart of an antiangiogenic profile.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for a local change in the progesterone/ estrogen ratio in human parturition at term
TL;DR: Spontaneous human parturition at term was associated with significantly increased amniotic fluid concentrations of estradiol, estriol, and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, and it is concluded that a local change in the progesterone/estrogen ratio occurs duringhuman parturitions at term.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interleukin 6 determinations in cervical fluid have diagnostic and prognostic value in preterm premature rupture of membranes.
Jong Kwan Jun,Bo Hyun Yoon,Roberto Romero,Miha Kim,Jeong Bin Moon,Suk Hyun Ki,Joong Shin Park +6 more
TL;DR: Cervical fluid interleukin 6 determinations are of value in the assessment of the likelihood of microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity, impending preterm delivery, and the occurrence of significant neonatal complications in the setting of preterm premature rupture of membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are amniotic fluid neutrophils in women with intraamniotic infection and/or inflammation of fetal or maternal origin?
Nardhy Gomez-Lopez,Nardhy Gomez-Lopez,Roberto Romero,Yi Xu,Yi Xu,Yaozhu Leng,Yaozhu Leng,Valeria Garcia-Flores,Derek Miller,Derek Miller,Suzanne M. Jacques,Suzanne M. Jacques,Sonia S. Hassan,Sonia S. Hassan,Jonathan Faro,Adham Alsamsam,Ali Alhousseini,Hunter Gomez-Roberts,Bogdan Panaitescu,Bogdan Panaitescu,Lami Yeo,Lami Yeo,Eli Maymon,Eli Maymon +23 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that both fetal and maternal neutrophils can invade the amniotic cavity, suggesting that both the fetus and the mother participate in the host defense mechanisms against intraamniotic infection.
