Objective: To evaluate subsequent pregnancy experience in patients following chemotherapy for malignant form of gestational trophoblastic disease.
Design: Retrospective clinical study.
Setting: Slovak Center of Trophoblastic Disease, Bratislava, Slovak Republic.
Methods: There were evaluated subsequent pregnancy experiences in 38 patients after chemotherapy for malignant form of gestational trophoblastic disease registered in Slovak center of gestational trophoblastic disease. Histological and cytogenetical analysis of all placentas after deliveries and material from curettage specimens after miscarriages, abortions and ectopic pregnancies were performed.
Results: 11 women conceived following successful chemotherapy of gestational trophoblastic disease became pregnant a total 19 times. Out of them there were 9 full-term deliveries, 2 spontaneous abortion, 1 ended in ectopic pregnancy and 7 pregnancies were terminated in therapeutic abortion. Cytogenetical analysis was successful in 7 to 10 reproductive losses with normal karyotype in all analysed cases.
Conclusion: Patients after successful chemotherapy of gestational trophoblastic disease have a normal reproductive outcome.

Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) describes a group of rare benign and cancerous lesions originating from the trophoblast cells of the placenta. These neoplasms are unconventional entities, being one of the few instances in which cancer develops from the cells of another organism, the foetus. Although this condition was first described over 100 years ago, the specific genetic and non-genetic drivers of this disease remain unknown to this day.

The mechanisms that drive placental dysfunction in pregnancies complicated by hypoxia and fetal growth restriction remain poorly understood. Changes to mitochondrial respiration contribute to cellular dysfunction in conditions of hypoxia and have been implicated in the pathoaetiology of pregnancy complications, such as pre-eclampsia. We used bespoke isobaric hypoxic chambers and a combination of functional, molecular and imaging techniques to study cellular metabolism and mitochondrial dynamics in sheep undergoing hypoxic pregnancy.

Studies have shown that circRNAs play an important regulatory role in trophoblast function and embryonic development. Based on sequencing and functional experiments, we found that hsa_circ_0069443 can regulate the function of trophoblast cells, and its presence is found in the exosomes secreted by trophoblast cells. It is known that exosomes mediate the interaction between the uterus and embryo, which is crucial for successful pregnancy.

Background: Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a gestational disorder that significantly endangers maternal and fetal health. Transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA)-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) are important in the progression and diagnosis of various diseases. However, their role in the development of PE is unclear.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) act as competing endogenous RNAs and play significant roles in porcine embryo development. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the uterine fluid (UF) can target and deliver maternal endometrial signalling molecules to embryonic trophoblast cells, exerting crucial regulatory effects during embryo implantation. However, the specific roles of lncRNAs carried by UF-EVs during the embryo implantation period have not been thoroughly reported in the literature.
