Article Abstract
Objective: The prognosis of preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) combined with chorioamnionitis is often unsatisfactory for both mother and newborn. Although tragic outcomes can be avoided if treated early, no effective prediction method for decision-making is available currently. This study aimed to establish an effective method with maternal inflammation indexes to predict preterm premature rupture of membranes with concomitant chorioamnionitis.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study examined the data of 206 singleton PPROM cases and 60 normal full-term cases. The PPROM cases included 93 cases of PPROM with chorioamnionitis and 113 cases of PPROM without chorioamnionitis based on clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations, and histopathological diagnosis. Normal full-term cases were included as the control group. Peripheral blood levels of selected inflammatory indicators were observed 12 h after fetal membrane rupture. Associations between selected inflammatory indicators and chorioamnionitis diagnosis were analyzed.
Results: Selected factors except for procalcitonin predicted chorioamnionitis in PPROM patients. Combined results of C-reactive protein and white blood cell (WBC) count showed best predictive ability with area under curve, sensitivity, and specificity of 0.702, 60.22%, and 76.11%, respectively. Furthermore including Interleukine-6 and neutrophil count provided similar predictive results.
Conclusions: The best predictive factor combinations for PPROM-CAM were C-reactive protein and white blood cell count. Results of this study provide a useful clinical reference for PPROM-CAM and may improve maternal and infant prognostic outcomes.

This study investigated the correlation between quantitative echocardiographic characteristics within 3 days of birth and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and its severity in preterm infants. A retrospective study was conducted on 168 preterm infants with a gestational age of < 34 weeks. Patients were categorized into NEC and non-NEC groups.

Physical activity is crucial for children's physical, cognitive, and social development, reducing the risk of non-communicable diseases and improving overall well-being. A major legacy of extremely preterm delivery is respiratory limitation with reduced lung function and decreased exercise capacity which can be further exacerbated by inactivity and deconditioning. Strategies to increase incidental physical activities in early childhood and participation in sport and more formal exercise programmes in middle childhood have the potential to optimize cardiopulmonary function, improve quality of life, and foster social interactions in childhood and beyond, thereby providing benefits that extend far beyond the physical domain.

Introduction: Fusion of mononucleated cytotrophoblasts into syncytium leads to trophoblast senescence. Yet, premature senescence is associated with preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction (FGR), and related obstetrical syndromes. A set of 28 transcripts that comprise senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) was recently described in placentas from women with preeclampsia.
