The calcium binding protein, S100B, is increased in the amniotic fluid of women with intra-amniotic infection/inflammation and preterm labor with intact or ruptured membranes

Objective: S100B is produced by glia of the central and peripheral nervous systems and is considered a marker of neurologic injury in the perinatal period...

Keywords: Chorioamnionitis, fetal inflammation, funisitis, Interleukin-6, intra-amniotic infection, neonatal morbidity, parturition, preterm premature rupture of membranes

Soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE) and endogenous secretory RAGE (esRAGE) in amniotic fluid: modulation by infection and inflammation

Objective: The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) has been proposed to participate in the innate and adaptive immune responses...

Below median birth weight in appropriate-for-gestational-age preterm infants as a risk factor for bronchopulmonary dysplasia

Aims: To assess the presence of chorioamnionitis and intrauterine growth as prenatal risk factors for broncho pulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA) infants of <28 weeks' gestation.

Methods: Gender, race, birth weight, gestational age, histology of the placenta, diagnosis of BPD at 36 weeks' gestation, postnatal dexamethasone treatment, and death were recorded in 150 preterm infants born at <28 weeks' gestation, and admitted between 1996 and 2001.

Results: In 122 AGA infants (mean gestational age: 26.18 weeks, mean birth weight: 837 g), BPD was associated with gestational age-related birth weights below the 50^th centile...

Keywords: Appropriate-for-gestational-age, broncho-pulmonary dysplasia, Chorioamnionitis, dexamethasone, extremly-low-birth-weight infants, intrauterine growth, intrauterine infection, placenta histology, preterm infants
