[Markers of oxidative stress in pregnancies complicated by pregnancy induced hypertension and intrahepatic cholestasis].

Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate levels of superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD-1), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and malonodialdehyde (MDA) in groups of pregnant women with pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH), hypertension recognized before pregnancy (HA) or intrahepatic cholestasis.

Material And Methods: 33 women with PIH, 6 with HA and 12 with cholestasis were compared with 33 healthy pregnant women. Levels of enzymes were assessed in blood samples.

[Obstetrical results in women who underwent intrauterine invasive procedures during the pregnancy].

Objective: The aim of this study was retrospective analysis of the results of pregnancies among women who had intrauterine invasive procedures (IIP)--amnioinfusion, amnioreduction, cordocentesis and shunts, based on the materials from Polish Mother's Memorial Hospital Research Institute in 2000-2003.

Material And Methods: 320 women performed IIP: amnioinfusions due to the oligohydramnion (frequently connected with congenital fetal abnormalities) or premature rupture of membranes. Amnioreduction due to the polihydramnion (also in a twin pregnancy with TTTS syndrome).
