  • Title: Immunohistochemical expression of RECK protein in placental membranes of the preterm delivery with and without chorioamnionitis.
    Author: Benzon Z, Prusac IK, Zekic S, Vulic M.
    Journal: Histol Histopathol; 2014 May; 29(5):629-33. PubMed ID: 24227542.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To compare the immunohistochemical expression of RECK protein in placental membranes of late preterm delivery in women with and without histologically proven chorioamnionitis. STUDY DESIGN: Fetal membranes were collected from women who had late preterm delivery with (n=8) and without (n=9) histologic chorioamnionitis. Immunohistochemistry for RECK protein was performed on formalin fixed and paraffin-embedded sections. The two groups were matched for age, body mass index and parity. SPSS Version 13.0 was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: There was weaker immunohistochemical expression of RECK protein in placental membranes of women with histologic chorioamnionitis compared to control subjects (P=0.0498). CONCLUSIONS: Chorioamnionitis has an impact on immunohistochemical expression of RECK protein in placental membranes in late preterm delivery.
