Objectives: To compare the immunohistochemical expression of IL-6 in placental membranes of late preterm delivery in women with histologically proven chorioamnionitis with and without preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM).

Methods: Fetal membranes were collected from 60 women who had late preterm delivery with histologic chorioamnionitis with and without PPROM (30 in each group). Immunohistochemistry for IL-6 was performed on formalin fixed and paraffin-embedded sections.

We investigated whether chorioamnionitis affects immunohistochemical demonstration of RECK protein and interleukin-6 (IL-6) expression in fetal placental membranes following late preterm delivery with intact membranes. Fetal membranes of 28 women with single pregnancy, preterm delivery and histologically documented chorioamnionitis at gestational age 34-36 weeks constituted the chorioamnionitis study group. The control group consisted of 28 fetal membranes from women with preterm deliveries at the same gestational age without histological chorioamnionitis.

Objective: The aim of the study was to compare immunohistochemical expression of different T type lymphocytes in foci of villitis of placentae with villitis of unknown etiology (VUE) without and with preeclampsia (PE).

Methods: Fifty-four placentae were collected from women who had VUE with (N = 27) and without (N = 27) PE. Immunohistochemistry for types of T lymphocytes was performed on formalin fixed and paraffin-embedded sections by use of the CD3, CD4, FOXP3, CD25, CD8 and CD68 antibodies.
