摘要:
Transplantation of fetal hematopoietic stem cells is a new therapy for fetuses diagnosed in utero with inherited disorders. However, prior to transplantation of fetal stem cells, the cells must be free of microbial contamination. In order to investigate the contamination of human fetal liver tissue, we determined the rate and types of bacterial and fungal contamination of human fetal liver tissue collected transvaginally for use in stem cell transplantation by using the US Pharmacopoiea Assay. We found a high rate of contamination with bacteria or fungi (12 of the 14 fetal livers, or 85%). Non-fermenting gram-negative rods were the predominant contaminants. The high rate of microbial contamination of fetal tissue suggests that techniques for tissue collection need to be improved before fetal stem cells are used for clinical transplantation.

摘要:
Respiratory status was assessed at a median of 12 (range 3-60) months in 17 infants who had undergone pleuro-amniotic shunting to drain fetal pleural effusions. The shunts had been inserted at a median of 29 weeks (range 21-35) gestation; 12 fetuses were hydropic at the time of shunting. In all 17 cases effective chronic drainage of the pleural effusions was achieved. Respiratory status at follow-up was assessed by documentation of respiratory symptoms and measurement of functional residual capacity (FRC) by a helium gas dilution technique. Six infants suffered from recurrent respiratory symptoms, this incidence (37%) did not differ significantly from that found in a control group. The mean FRC of the study population was 28 ml/kg (range 19-34 ml/kg), only 2 infants’ FRCs were below the reference range. These results suggest that pleuro-amniotic shunting may, by effective drainage of pleural effusion and hence prevention of chronic antenatal intrathoracic compression, avoid impairment of antenatal lung growt

摘要:
The purpose of this study was to assess the need for race-specific maternal serum α-fetoprotein (MSAFP) curves in twin gestations. MSAFP values were evaluated in 535 samples obtained from twin gestations. Results were grouped according to gestational age (from 15 to 20 weeks), as with our singletons. Separate median curves were determined for black and for white pregnancies. On average, the median serum α-fetoprotein (AFP) for twins was about twice (2.1 ± 0.3) the median of singletons. MSAFP in blacks was commonly higher than in white pregnancies of comparable gestational age. Using a 4.5 multiple of the singleton median cutoff in twin white pregnancies, 3.9% of the results were defined as ‘high’, similar to the rate observed in singleton pregnancies. ‘Low’ results in twins were defined as AFP values lower than 1.0 multiples of the singleton median (in pregnancies of similar gestational age and race). About 7 % of the serum samples for whites were defined as ‘low’ by this criteria. Data for blacks were comparable. Race-dependent median values should be used for MSAFP interpretation in twin as well as singleton pregnancies. ‘High’ and ‘low’ percentages are comparable to our large data bank of singleton pregnancies and seem to be adequate for interpretation of serum AFP in twins. Therefore, the race-specific singleton multiples are sufficient, obviating the need to build specific median curves for
