Aim: To determine quantitative parameters of volume density and absolute volume of syncytiotrophoblast in resorption villi of control and experimental group, compare the results and search for correlation between structural parameters of resorption villi and pregnancy age.
Methods: The research was performed on 60 human placentas of term pregnancy: 30 placentas of pregnant women of age 20 - 34 (control group), and 30 placentas of pregnant women of age 35 and older (experimental group). Stereological analysis was performed on multipurpose testing system M42 with 40 times objective magnification.
Results: Average volume density of syncytiotrophoblast in resorption villi of experimental and control group was Vvss = (0,489 ± 0,032) mm0 and Vvsm = (0,389 ± 0,078) mm0 , respectively. Statistical analysis of results using Student t-test indicated a significantly higher volume density of syncytiotrophoblast of resorption villi in the experimental than in the control group (p < 0,001). Absolute volume of syncytiotrophoblast in resorption villi of the experimental and control groups was Vss = (205,250±40,894) cm3 and Vsm = (178,386 ± 44,413) cm3, respectively. We have found a significantly higher absolute volume of syncytiotrophoblast in resorption villi in the experimental than in the control group (p < 0,005).
Conclusions: Statistically significant higher values of volume density and absolute volume of syncytiotrophoblast in resorption villi of placentas in older pregnant women represent a compensatory mechanism as a response to decreased metabolic exchange between a mother and a fetus.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of decidual natural killer (dNK) cells and their elevated levels of IFN-γ in recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), aiming to understand how exosomes from induced abortion and RPL patients impact these cells.* -
- Researchers employed methods like flow cytometry and RT-qPCR to analyze the effects of villus-derived exosomes (vEXOs) on dNK cells, focusing on the regulation of IFN-γ levels and identifying therapeutic candidates through miRNA analysis.* -
- Results showed higher IFN-γ in dNK cells from unexplained RPL patients compared to induced abortion patients, indicating that both types of vEXOs could be taken up by dNK cells, with implications

Radium-223 dichloride is the first approved alpha particle-emitting radiopharmaceutical for patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer with symptomatic bone metastases and no known visceral metastases. A large percentage of intestinal enrichment and a slow clearance rate were the main causes of gastrointestinal adverse events after RaCl administration. The molecular weight of sodium alginate in aqueous solution was determined to be 656 kDa.

Article Synopsis
- FKBP5 plays a significant role in recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) by affecting trophoblast function and promoting M1 macrophage polarization in the placenta.
- Increased FKBP5 expression was found in placental tissues from women with RSA, inhibiting essential factors that support healthy trophoblast activity.
- Targeting FKBP5 could offer new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for RSA treatment.

Introduction: The human placenta performs multiple functions necessary for successful pregnancy, but the metabolic pathways and molecular mechanisms responsible for regulating placental development and functions remain incompletely understood. Catabolism of the essential amino acid tryptophan has numerous critical roles in normal physiology, including inflammation. The kynurenine pathway, which accounts for ∼90% of tryptophan breakdown, is mediated by indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) in the placenta.

Methods: The implantation sites, fetus resorption, and abnormal fetuses were studied in pregnant mice treated with different doses of BaP by oral gavage from day 1 to day 10 of gestation. Additionally, apoptosis and related signaling pathway, and the migration and invasion of trophoblasts, were assessed before and after exposure of BPDE in Swan 71 trophoblast cell. Besides, the migration and invasion, and its related signaling pathway, were assessed in villi obtained from women.
