..This prospective study examined purine metabolism in relation to free oxygen radical activity, as reflected by lipid peroxide levels in umbilical cord blood at birth...

..Manual removal of placenta is performed in 1-3% of cases, and whilst a well established and relatively safe procedure, it is not without complications, which include infection, hemorrhage, uterine rupture, and occasional maternal death...

..Carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum induces peritoneal oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to verify the effect of intra-abdominal pressure on oxidative stress in the peritoneum and on post-operative adhesion formation...

..This method could be potentially employed for routine analysis of plasma F(2)-isoprostanes in clinical laboratories...

..The study was carried out in the delivery suite of a university teaching hospital, using a prospective matched controlled-pairs survey...

..It is hoped that earlier classification of patients at-risk of the disease, on the basis of pathophysiological changes, will enable specific therapies to be developed targeting these changes...

....

..We suggest that oligohydramnios should be defined as an AFI < 8 cm or LVP < 4 cm. We concur with the recommendation of < 15 cm2 for the 2phi measurement...

..More consistent results for prediction of pre-eclampsia are therefore likely to be obtained using fasting (early morning) urine specimens and adjusting cut-off criteria for the other factors...

..The goal was to examine the carbohydrate tolerance and cardiometabolic risk among children exposed to maternal gestational diabetes mellitus in utero...

..With (-)-epigallocatechin gallate, increased numbers of nonviable and apoptotic cells in the malformed embryos were associated with increased embryo 8-isoprostane...

..To compare patients' health status function after treatment with thermal balloon endometrial ablation (TBEA) and levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) for idiopathic menorrhagia...

..To estimate whether fetal bradycardia-to-delivery interval or decision-to-delivery interval was related to cord arterial pH according to different causes of fetal distress...

..The study aim was to assess whether the incorporation of myo-inositol (MI) into culture medium could improve oocyte maturation in vitro...

..Biochemical reactions were also observed in the laparotomy group, but are thought to be related to mechanisms other than lipid peroxidation...

..CONCLUSION: Moderate or thick meconium-stained liquor is an independent factor for increased oxidative stress in pregnancy...

..CONCLUSIONS: Exposure to both CO(2) and helium induces oxidative stress in mesothelial cells. Hypoxia-reoxygenation may play a role in this process...

..CONCLUSIONS: The data demonstrated the potential application of bioinformatics methods in this metabolomic study and proved its clinical relevance...

..5 to 12.2 h. Significant reductions in 8-epi-isoprostane levels were found in the compartments except the choroid-sclera or plasma, indicating antioxidative activities of catechins in these tissues...

..EGCG had the highest level of exposure (AUC) and the highest Cmax in the fetus, implying it may have potential for in utero antioxidant protection...

..This method is capable for determining catechins in rat tissues of liver, brain, spleen, and kidney. The method is robust, reproducible, with high recovery, and has been validated for both in vitro and in vivo sample analysis...

..Hierarchical clustering patterned specific expression of hChr21 gene dosage effects on neuron outgrowth, migration, and differentiation, such as Syngr2, Dncic2, Eif3sf, and Peg3...

..However, only half of the dosage of misoprostol was recovered in the solution. Therefore, misoprostol dosage should be adjusted before clinical application...
