The human amniotic membrane (hAM) or amnion contains two principal types of cells: epithelial cells (hAECs) and mesenchymal stromal (hAMSCs), located in distinct regions: the epithelium layer. Emerging evidence suggests that both them retain multipotent/pluripotent characteristics, making a promising very attractive source for regenerative medicine. Therefore, isolation hAECs hAMSCs has recently received great interest; they can be released by differential enzymatic digestion various...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Exposure to intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) can have a negative impact on nephrogenesis resulting in limited fetal kidney development and supporting the hypothesis that IUGR represents risk for renal function long-term disease. Cystatin-C (Cys-C), strong inhibitor of cysteine proteinases, is freely filtered by glomerulus reabsorbed tubules, where it almost totally catabolized; what remains subsequently eliminated urine. In tubular...
Fetal exposure to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) seems stimulate a negative impact on the kidneys. Renal volumes and urinary biomarkers of renal function tubular impairment injury were evaluated in 30⁻40-day old newborns GDM mothers (n = 139) who needed insulin therapy during pregnancy. We found that neonates maintained strict control over normoglycemia 65) pregnancy fulfilled other criteria management program showed no differences compared 55). Conversely, those (n = 74),...
Background: Prematurity, low birth weight (LBW), very (VLBW), and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) are risk factors of long-term poor neuro-development outcomes associate with reduction regional brain volumes.Objective: To evaluate the possible role 3D ultrasound sonography (3DUS) volumes, measured at 30–40 days postnatal period, as early predictors neuro-behavioral disorders.Methods: A highly selected population, which included: full-term, preterm, IUGR, preterm-IUGR born individuals,...

AbstractThese experiments were designed to quantify the vascular-to-alveolar leakage of albumin in neonatal lung and analyze distribution leaking airspaces parenchyma. Immediately after delivery, newborn rabbits with gestational age 27-29 days received an intravenous injection human as a marker ventilated for 15 min standardized tidal volume (10 ml/kg). After period ventilation lungs either lavaged via airways or fixed histological studies. The median amount lavage fluid, determined by...
