[OA-17] The expression of CD15 in placental vessels belonging haemoglobin Bart's hydrops foetalis
Haemoglobin Bart can lead to hydrops foetalis (HF). Its placental findings include abnormally increased intermediate villi with immature endothelium. CD15 assists in diagnosis of delayed villous maturation by identification of foetoplacental endothelial immaturity. Thus, investigation of CD15 expression has benefit for understand pathophysiology of Hb Bart's HF. This study aimed to evaluate CD15 immunoreactivity in placental endothelium of Hb Bart's HF in comparison to that in other causes of HF. CD15 was performed in 14 cases of Hb Bart and 9 cases of HF by other causes...
[OA-03] A comparison of placental pathology in pregnant women developing severe pre-eclampsia with and without intrauterine growth restriction
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is commonly found in women with severe pre-eclampsia. However, the placental pathologic findings are varied reported between cases with and without IUGR. The aim of this study was to compare the placental pathology between pregnant women complicated by severe pre-eclampsia with and without IUGR. ...
