  • Title: [The villous trophoblast in placentae of premature births (author's transl)].
    Author: Ruckhäberle KE, Ruckhäberle B.
    Journal: Z Geburtshilfe Perinatol; 1976 Feb; 180(1):75-83. PubMed ID: 1266275.
    Abstract:
    Enzyme histochemical behavier (cryostat-and semi-thin slice techniques) of the villous epithelium of 109 "genuine" premature birth permits evaluation of a qualitative disturbance of trophoblasts. It is characterised by an increase of pre-degenerative plasmodium and multilocular emergence of highly differentiated or degenerated Langhans cells which lack the potential for plasmodial transformation and thus for regeneration of trophoblasts. The importance of such changes for metabolic competence and hormone synthesis and the link between prematurity and insuficiency of the placenta are discussed.
