Principle possibilities of the complex evaluation of the mother-fetus exchange were studied by means of morphological investigations of the human placenta in normality, in vesicular mole, late toxicoses, hemolytic disease of newborns and malformations of the fetus. The investigation of the ratio of the villi of different size, deposition of fibrinoid on their surface, the change of the amount of cytotrophoblastic elements, cells of Kaschenko-Hofbauer and the polymerity of the basic substance are of diagnostic value. The authors propose the basal lamina of the placenta to be included into the scheme of the examination of placenta.

Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is characterized as de novo hypertension (HTN) with end-organ damage, especially in the brain. PE is hypothesized to be caused by placental ischemia. PE affects ~5-8% of USA pregnancies and increases the risk for HTN and cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) later in life.

Evidence-based dose selection of drugs in pregnant women has been lacking because of challenges in studying maternal-fetal pharmacokinetics. Hence, many drugs are administered off-label during pregnancy based on data obtained from nonpregnant women. During pregnancy, drug transporters play an important role in drug disposition along with known gestational age-dependent changes in physiology and drug-metabolizing enzymes.

Embryonic and fetal development can be affected during gestation by exposure to xenobiotics that cross the placenta. Liquid crystal monomers (LCMs) are emerging contaminants commonly found in indoor environments; however, whether they can cross the placenta and affect placental development remains unexplored. Here, we develop an evaluation system that integrates human biomonitoring, uterine perfusion in pregnant rats, and placental cells.

The placenta acts as a barrier, excluding noxious substances while actively transferring nutrients to the fetus, mediated by various transporters. This study quantified the expression of key placental transporters in term human placenta (n = 5) and BeWo, BeWo b30, and JEG-3 placenta cell lines. Combining these results with pregnancy physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling, we demonstrate the utility of proteomic analysis for predicting placental drug disposition and fetal exposure.

Pre-eclampsia is a known hypertensive disorder of pregnancy. While abnormal placentation and poor trophoblast invasion into maternal endometrium during blastocyst implantation are primary causes of pre-eclampsia, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Hematopoietic PBX-Interacting protein (HPIP) is an estrogen receptor (ER) interacting protein that plays a pivotal role in cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation; however, its role in trophoblast functions is largely unknown.
