The quotient NCA/CEA was lower than expected in two out of four patients with diabetes. Raised AFP levels were found in all ten pregnancies with neural tube defects and in two out of seven patients with chromosomal aberrations.H. Gadler
Objective]To investigate the characteristics of maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and β-human chorionic gonadotropin ( β-hCG) in twin pregnancy, and to seek if there were differences between twin pregnancies and singleton ones. 【目的】探讨双胎妊娠孕母血清甲胎蛋白(AFP)和β鄄人绒毛膜促性腺...
Problems during pregnancy can also result in mental retardation. If the mother is using alcohol or drugs such as LSD, STP, marijuana, or alcohol, she may cause damage to the brain. Thalidomide has also been shown to cause Mental Retardation, and the effects of lead can also play a role. ...
Gastroschisis was found in one low and one elevated MSAFP. Amniotic fluid alpha-fetoprotein (AFAFP) values did not correlate with MSAFP values. Patients with low MSAFP levels had a greater prevalence of abnormal karyotype (19 of 249, prevalence = 0.076) than patients with an elevated MSAFP ...
In 1,816 of these women, maternal serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels were tested as well. The proportion of women who had a second high AFP level (> or = 2.0 MOM) in their subsequent pregnancy was 6.5-fold higher as compared with the proportion of women who had normal ...
G-CSF (p=0.0002) and IL-6 (p=0.006) were influenced by Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) and G-CSF by rhesus-incompatibility (p=0.0004). These findings suggest that cytokines such as IL-6 and G-CSF play some role in physiological and pathological pregnancy....
Pregnant women age of >16, single pregnancy, gestational age 15- 20 weeks with Positive Triple or Qadry tests, completed informed consent and were entered the study. Then maternal serum markers including AFP, HCG, Unconjugated Estriol, and inhibin-A were measured by blood tests.Results: 4.4%of...
The value of maternal serum pregnancy-associated protein A (PAPP-A), free and total beta human chorionic gonadotrophin (fbetahCG, betahCG) and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in screening for Down syndrome (DS) in early pregnancy has been assessed. To evaluate the different biochemical markers, 32 DS...
RESULTS: Genetic amniocentesis revealed a karyotype of 47,XX,+9 in the amniocytes and an elevated amniotic fluid AFP level. Ultrasonography demonstrated intrauterine growth restriction, left congenital diaphragmatic hernia, fetal ascites, a sacral spina bifida, a horseshoe kidney, and absence of ...
