(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.
Fetal
Definition:
(a.) Pertaining to, or connected with, a fetus; as, fetal circulation; fetal membranes.
Example Sentences:
(1) In each sheep there was a significant negative correlation between the glucose and corticosteroid concentrations in both maternal and fetal plasma, and there were positive correlations between the maternal and fetal plasma concentrations of glucose, and between the glucose and fructose concentrations of fetal plasma.
(2) Direct fetal digitalization led to a reduction in umbilical artery resistance, a decline in the abdominal circumference from 20.3 to 17.8 cm, and resolution of the ascites within 72 h. Despite this dramatic response to therapy, fetal death occurred on day 5 of treatment.
