Sažetak
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.
