  • Title: [Quantitative characteristics of components of the placental barrier of women with uncomplicated full-term pregnancies].
    Author: Bobkov VM.
    Journal: Arkh Anat Gistol Embriol; 1979 Jun; 76(6):80-3. PubMed ID: 464829.
    Abstract:
    Placentas from four healthy women have been studied electron microscopically after urgent spontaneous deliveries. In every placenta 130-200 resorptive villi of the chorion were photographed. The results on morphometric analysis of 1,205 electronograms of the placental barrier are presented. At full-term uncomplicated pregnancies all components of the placental barrier (syncytium, cytotrophoblast, basal membrane of the trophoblast, stromal connective-tissue layer, basal membrane and endothelium of fetal capillaries) have been stated to demonstrate rather stable quantitative characteristics (see Table in the text). The quantitative data obtained can serve for electron microscopic investigation of placenta at different pathologic states of the mother and the fetus, make it possible to differentiate more precisely physiological and pathological changes in placental ultrastructure.
