[Circulating immune complexes and immunoglobulins A, M and G in the mother-fetus system in normal pregnancy and gestosis].

Circulating immune complexes (CIC) and immunoglobulins A, M, and G were measured in the maternal peripheral blood, mixed umbilical blood, and amniotic fluid in women with normal pregnancy and gestosis. CIC concentrations in the examined fluids did not surpass the levels typical of healthy donors. Maternal blood CIC levels were higher in gestosis than in normal pregnancy, and CIC levels in the umbilical blood and amniotic fluid were always lower than in maternal blood serum. IgG levels were found the most shifted. These data evidence changes of the humoral immunity in normal pregnancy, this being, probably, one of the mechanisms providing its favorable course.

[Immunological properties of the amniotic fluid in physiological pregnancy and gestoses].

Immunologic analysis of the amniotic fluid included measurements of immunoglobulins A and M, circulating immune complexes, rheumatoid and antinuclear factors, immunophoresis and electrophoresis, and tests for the presence of donor lymphocytes, Changed immunologic parameters of the amniotic fluid indicate a complicated course of pregnancy, development of gestosis among other things. Basing on their findings, the authors suggest that gestosis involve dysfunction of the adaptive mechanisms, that may result from disordered interactions of the immunity system components.

[Analysis of plasma levels of dehydroepiandrosterone and 17-hydroxyprogesterone in physiologic and pathologic pregnancy and labor].

Plasma levels of dehydroepiandrosterone (DEA) and 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-HP) were studied in 43 pregnant females 11 with normal pregnancy and labor and 32 at high risk of obstetric complications (primary powerless labor, prematurity, postmaturity, rapid parturition). Hormonal investigation was performed in each particular female in the time-course of her pregnancy and labor as well as in the mixed blood plasma from the umbilical cord. Concentrations of hormones observed in the females with normal pregnancies and labors differed from those in the patients whose pregnancy was complicated as well as their labor. It has been concluded that the results of DEA and 17-HP variation assessment in the blood plasma are essential additional indicators of adrenal performance both in mother and fetus.
