Endothelin-like immunoreactivity was observed in the endothelial lining of umbilical vein and artery as well as in the epithelium of the amniotic membrane. High levels of endothelin-like immunoreactivity (0.4–1.4 pmol g-1) were detected in human amniotic membrane, umbilical vessels and placenta. The concentration of endothelin-like immunoreactivity in the amniotic fluid was much higher (77 pmol l-1) than in umbilical cord plasma (10 pmol l-1). Characterization by reverse phase HPLC revealed that most of the endothelin-like immunoreactivity eluted in the position of synthetic endothelin-1 or oxidized endothelin-1. Specific, high affinity binding sites for endothelin-1 were present in placenta and umbilical artery. Endothelin binding sites were also found in cultured smooth muscle cells from the umbilical artery and vein. In the placenta, endothelin-1 and -3 were almost equipotent as competing ligands for endothelin-1 binding sites, whereas in the umbilical artery endothelin-3 was much less potent than endothelin-1. Scatchard analysis of the binding for placental membranes displayed a straight line (r=–0.994) indicating a single class of endothelin receptors with a Kd-value of 80 pmol l-1 and Bmax of 113 fmol mg-1. Endothelin-1 caused potent contractions of umbilical arteries and veins with threshold effects at 10 pmol l-1 while endothelin-3 had no contractile effect up to 10-7 mol l-1. It is concluded that endothelin-1 predominates over other endothelins in umbilical vessels, amnion and placenta, and high levels of endothelin-1 was observed in foetal circulation and amniotic fluid. Endothelin-receptors seem to be of different types in placenta (ETB type) and umbilical vessels (ETA type). 相似文献

The comparison of the spiral uterine arteries structure, umbilical vessels and placenta is performed in 16 women with normal haemodynamics and in 31 women with disturbances of mother-foetus circulation, and the data obtained were compared with results of dopplerometry made before the delivery. Three clinical groups are distinguished according to the predominant localization of the resistance to the blood flow: the first--with the domination of the spiral arteries obliteration (lack of gestational changes, hyperplastic arteriosclerosis) with a characteristic ultrastructural pathology of the syncytiotrophoblast microvilli, rheological disturbances in the intervillous space and large necroses of villi; the second--with a predominance of early immaturity of the stroma and capillaries or sclerosis and compression of foetal villous capillaries, i. e. with a reduction of a capillary bed and increase of the resistance to the blood flow; the third--with a predominance of the umbilical arteries narrowing and supporting villi and signs of a blood stasis in the foetal veins. Morphologic heterogeneity of the mother--foetus circulation disturbances should be taken into consideration when choosing obstetric tactics. 相似文献

Malformations of both the umbilical cord and placenta are covered in the second part of this account of placental pathology. Disorders in placental development are subdivided on the basis of the classification published by Vogel (1984). Particular importance is attributed, in this context, to purely morphological differentiation between hydatid and partial mole. Also discussed is the problem of early placental angiomatosis (chorioangiosis, chorioangiomatosis). However, its association with malformations of the placenta seems to be questionable. 相似文献

Neutrophil defensins comprise a family of cationic peptides that possess potent antimicrobial activity. Defensins are normally sequestered in cytoplasmic granules with their primary site of action in phagolysosomes, although some peptide is released into the circulation during the course of infection or inflammation. In view of the fact that neutrophils adhere to the endothelium and that defensins have been reported to bind to human endothelial cells in vitro, we used immunohistochemistry to study the distribution of these peptides in normal and in atherosclerotic human coronary arteries. Defensin was found primarily in the intima of normal and atherosclerotic vessels, most prominently in association with intimal smooth muscle cells. Both large- and small-vessel endothelium stained focally for defensin. Defensin was also found in the media near the external elastic lamina and in some periadventitial vessels. The same distribution was seen in vessels that had been perfusion fixed immediately upon procurement, excluding diffusion of defensin from PMNs ex vivo. These data indicate that neutrophil defensin is present in the walls of human coronary arteries. The deposition of defensin in vessels may contribute to the pathophysiological consequences of inflammation in addition to their role in host defense. 相似文献

The dielectric properties of freshly delivered human placenta, umbilical cord and amniotic fluid have been acquired at 37 °C and in the frequency range of 200 MHz-10 GHz. The experimental data were fitted to a Cole-Cole expression. The results show that dielectric properties of the umbilical cord are significantly higher than placenta due to the presence of high water content Wharton's jelly. The results also demonstrate large differences in the dielectric properties of amniotic and cerebrospinal fluids. The data presented can be used in numerical simulations of the exposure of pregnant women to electromagnetic fields. 相似文献

The effects of norepinephrine (NE) and acetylcholine (ACh) on isometric force generation were studied in isolated helical strips of intrapulmonary arteries (IPA) and veins (IPV) (3-5 mm diam) from lungs of dog, sheep, swine, and man. Cummalative dose-effect relationships (10-minus8-10-minus 4 M) were determined. All strips contracted in a dose-related fashion when exposed to NE but responses of sheep and swineIPV were weak. Acetylcholine relaxed canine IPA and contracted human IPA, CANINEIPV, and sheep IPV in a dose-related manner. Sheep IPA and swine IPA and IPV were unresponsive to ACh. Human IPV were relaxed by ACh but this effect wasreversed at the highest concentration (10 minus 4 M) tested. All vascular stripscontracted well in a potassium-rich (127 mM) bathing medium. It is concluded thatintrapulmonary lobar vessels from man, dog, swine, and sheep are responsive to autonomicneurohormones but that quantitative as well as qualitative differences exist. 相似文献

Thrombi with newly formed vessels in thirteen human umbilical arteries were studied. Red blood cells formed masses which were covered by fibrin within twelve hours after birth. By the second day, the intima including endothelial cells was denuded. In the junctional area between the thrombi and the original intima on the sixth day, red blood cells were surrounded by endothelial-like cells, which displayed junctional complexes and did not show any connection with intact endothelial cells. These cells also exhibited filaments with fusiform densities, suggesting a probable origin from vascular smooth muscle cells. Examination of older specimens indicated that these were precursor structures of functional capillaries found in mature thrombi. 相似文献

Sulfated glycoconjugates were stained in normal human term placentas using Spicer's high-iron diamine (HID) method with thiocarbohydrazide and silver proteinate (TCH-SP) enhancement. Specific identification of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) was accomplished by digestion of the stained material with chondroitinase ABC or AC for removal of chondroitin sulfates and nitrous acid for removal of N-sulfated GAGs. The syncytiotrophoblast apical surface demonstrated moderate to intense staining with HID-TCH-SP, which was removed by prior digestion with the chondroitinases, but not by nitrous acid. The syncytiotrophoblast basal surface and endothelial cell surfaces lacked sulfate staining. A few cytoplasmic granules in syncytiotrophoblast cells demonstrated staining similar to the apical surface. Three layers of the basal lamina were identified in these preparations. The lamina lucida immediately beneath the syncytiotrophoblast and the majority of the lamina densa stained weakly or not at all, whereas the underlying lamina diffusa and stroma demonstrated moderate to intense staining. The majority of lamina diffusa staining was removed by chondroitinase ABC or AC; the remaining material was removed by nitrous acid digestion. Thus the syncytiotrophoblast surface contains a chondroitin sulfate and the basal lamina contains a mixture of intensely stained chondroitin sulfate and a weakly stained N-sulfated GAG. 相似文献

The immunohistochemical localization of the androgen receptor in the human endometrium at various stages of the menstrual cycle and post-menopausal period, in decidua and placenta of early pregnancy, and in several pathological conditions of the endometrium has been investigated. At any phase of the menstrual cycle, both endometrial glandular cells and endometrial stromal cells showed positive nuclear staining. Endometrial stromal cells of the functional layer showed stronger staining than those of the basal layer, but endometrial glandular cells of both layers showed the same staining intensity. There was little staining in myometrium. Even after menopause, endometrial glandular and stromal cells showed the same staining pattern as the basal layer of pre-menopausal endometrium and the staining intensity of endometrial stromal cells was weak. In decidua and placenta of early pregnancy, decidual and trophoblastic cells showed positive staining and there was no staining in the stromal cells of placenta. The expression of the androgen receptor was also detected in adenomyosis, endometriosis and endometrial carcinoma. Although the proliferation and differentiation of endometrium are mediated mainly by oestrogen and progesterone receptors, the androgen receptor may play some role in modulating these changes. These results suggest that it may be involved in both physiological and pathological changes of the endometrium. 相似文献

A brownish discoloration of the bladder mucosa around the ureteric orifices has been observed on cystoscopy in three patients taking excessive quantities of analgesics. Biopsy specimens revealed an unusual degree of hyalinization of the vessels in the submucosa. Similar changes have been noted in the renal medulla, pelvis, and ureter of patients with classical analgesic nephritis. This vascular change may play an important part in the development of the characteristic infarct-like necrosis seen in the analgesic kidney. 相似文献

A cytochemical study was carried out on adenylate cyclase (AC) activity in the early human placenta. Samples of placental villi were incubated in a medium containing adenylyl-imidodiphosphate (AMP-PNP) as specific substrate. No AC reaction product was encountered in placenta villi taken at 5 and 7 weeks of pregnancy. AC activity appeared at 9 weeks. At 9 and 10 weeks, AC reaction product was localized on the basal plasma membranes and on apposed plasma membranes of the Langhans cytotrophoblast. At 11 weeks AC activity was also clearly visible on Langhans cytotrophoblast and syncytiotrophoblast apposed plasma membranes. No AC reaction product was ever detected on the syncytiotrophoblast microvillar membrane. These results are in agreement with biochemical studies that localize AC on the villous trophoblast plasma membranes associated with the fetal circulation. 相似文献
