(13) A concentration-dependent increase in PGE2 production by amnion cells occurred in response to natural purified and recombinant IL-1 preparations.
(14) LLC-MK(2), HeLa, and human embryo skin cells produced moderate amounts of virus, but FL amnion and primary chick embryo fibroblasts supported little virus growth.
(15) Hybridization of polyadenylic-(+)ribonucleic acid extracted from amnion, chorion, decidua parietalis, basal plate, and placental trophoblast with a radiolabeled 48 mer oligonucleotide and a 540 base pair complementary deoxyribonucleic acid probe to human placental lactogen showed the placental trophoblast to be the major source of human placental lactogen and the extravillous chorion and basal plate to be additional minor sources.
(16) Amniotic bands in consequence of early rupture of amnion-membrane was found in a spontaneously aborted gestational sac.
(17) During continuing infusion, following 210 min of iodoinsulin delivery, intact conceptuses (embryo, amnion, and yolk sac), and portions of adjacent decidua, liver, and spleen were excised, rinsed, and frozen in liquid N2 within 2 min.
(18) We employed a sensitive in vitro amnion invasion assay to examine the relationship of the invasive ability of numerous mouse and human tumor cell lines and their variants to their ability to spontaneously or artificially metastasize; we also studied possible enzymatic activities involved in the in vitro invasion process.
(19) (5) In the case of transmission the frequency of cellular infiltration of the amnion and umbilical vein wall is significantly higher than in the cases of normal gestations.
(20) All amnions restrict AFP movement into maternal serum, but some are distinctly more restrictive than others; in such cases, a relatively greater increase in amniotic fluid AFP concentration would likely have to occur from a fetal lesion before being reflected in maternal serum.
Amnios
Definition:
(n.) Same as Amnion.
Example Sentences:
(1) Ultrasound diagnosis could be aided by transabdominal amnio-infusion and, if necessary, fetal intraperitoneal saline installation.
(2) These results suggested that intrapartum saline amnio-infusion might be a hopeful therapy for patients with oligohydramnios.
(3) Patients receiving amnio-infusion had significantly lower incidence of neonatal asphyxia and less cesarean sections as compared with the controls.
(4) It is warned of using drugs containing high iodine doses for amnio- or fetography.
(5) Since pulmonary hypoplasia is the major cause of neonatal mortality in these cases, restoration of normal amniotic fluid volume by serial amnio-infusion was attempted.

(7) Blood and amniotic fluid were obtained with transabdominal amnio-puncture performed routinely in prenatal diagnosis.
(8) Neutral amnio acids such as serine, phenylalanine and leucine are probably transported by the same system, as indicated by their inhibition of methionine uptake and the existence of a mutant specifically impaired in their transport.

(11) The only major difference between the 2 sets of patients was that the amnio patients were further along in their pregnancies.
(12) The patients who had amnio abortions had more pain and reacted with more anger and depression afterward.
