[Immunoprophylaxis in the prevention of perinatal transmission of hepatitis virus B. Analysis of limiting factors].

The significance of obstetric anamnesis in neonatal risk identification and efficiency of a vaccinal schedule were investigated in order to verify the condition which limited the efficiency of immunoprophylaxis in the prevention of perinatal hepatitis B virus transmission. The data suggested that the lack of obstetric screening is the highest limitative factors in the realization of hepatitis B neonatal prevention. The immunoprophylaxis is surely a substantial method in the prevention of hepatitis B virus perinatal transmission, but the vaccinal schedule and follow-up should be improved.

Magnesium content of mononuclear blood cells in newborn infants and its correlation with maternal magnesium status.

In 25 full-term infants at birth and in their mothers, we determined plasma and mononuclear blood cell (MBC) Mg levels in order to investigate the relationship between maternal and fetal Mg status. MBC isolation for Mg analysis was carried out with a Ficoll-Isopaque gradient which is commercially available in disposable tubes. There was no difference in the plasma and MBC Mg levels between infants and their mothers. Neonatal MBC Mg content was significantly correlated with maternal plasma Mg concentration. The data demonstrate that MBC Mg content does not present any difference on the basis of age and emphasize that the constitution of fetal Mg reserve depends on maternal plasma Mg concentration.
