What's the difference between decidua and nondeciduate?
Decidua
Definition:
(n.) The inner layer of the wall of the uterus, which envelops the embryo, forms a part of the placenta, and is discharged with it.
Example Sentences:
(1) Implantation of the mouse embryo involves the invasion of the secondary trophoblast giant cells of the ectoplacental cone (EPC) into the uterine decidua.
(2) In this study, tritiated leucine placed on the isolated maternal side of amniochorion with adherent decidua was incorporated into newly synthesized tritiated human decidual prolactin.
(3) With the use of the radioimmunoassay for growth hormone--releasing inhibiting factor (GIF), it was found that measurable amounts of GIF-like substance existed in the chorionic villi and decidua of pregnant women.
(4) Three patterns of inflammation of the chorion-decidua were identified: marginating, nonmarginating, and a mixed pattern.
(5) The low-molecular-mass insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGF-BP) and placental protein 12 (PP12) are identical proteins that are present in human serum, amniotic fluid, secretory endometrium and decidua.
(6) 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.
(7) The process of trophoblastic invasion of the decidua and myometrium is usually complete by 18 weeks of gestation, and absolute growth of the placenta ceases in late gestation (near 35 weeks).
(8) It is concluded that the present case does not represent "fibrosing decidua."
(9) These changes are followed from one side, by an atrophy of the blood vessels and connective tissue cells, and from the other, there increases the number of decidua giant cells, as well as of syncytium and cytotrophoblast.
(10) The remaining, smaller villi lose their connection with the decidua.
(11) Since the actions of IGF-I occurred at physiological concentrations, these findings strongly support a role for IGF-I in the regulation of PRL secretion by human decidua.
(12) 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.
(13) The results suggest that placenta accreta does not arise through excessive trophoblast invasiveness or proliferation and the absence of decidua is of more importance in the pathogenesis.
(14) These findings suggest that decidua-derived cells can serve as antigen presenting cells for the presentation of membrane-bound alloantigens in a primary lymphoproliferative response.
(15) Examination of activities in early (days 32-35), mid (days 44-46) and late (within 5 days of parturition) gestation revealed no significant change in estrogen sulfatase specific activity in decidua basalis.
(16) The amnion, chorion, placenta, decidua basalis, decidua parietalis and myometrium were obtained at Caesarean section during late pregnancy.
(17) Electrophoretic and gel filtration profiles of supernatants from cultures of decidua and deciduoma seem similar.
(18) Labelling patterns were observed in each component of fetal membranes and decidua.
(19) A review of three hysterograms inadvertently performed during early pregnancy reaffirms the regular appearance of infiltration of aqueous opaque media into the substance of the decidua, producing the sign of the double-outlined uterine cavity.
(20) Decidual NK cells, indistinguishable from those found in lymphoid tissues, are present in cell suspensions prepared from maternal decidua of random-bred mice between Days 6.5 and 10.5 of first gestation.
Nondeciduate
Definition:
(a.) Characterized by the absence of a decidua; indeciduate.
Example Sentences:
(1) Barely detectable in nondecidualized stroma, desmin, unlike vimentin, increases during decidualization at a rate greater than the increase in total cell protein.
(2) Analysis of nuclear extract and cytosol from decidualized and nondecidualized endometrium from Days 6, 7, and 8 of pseudopregnancy demonstrated the presence of 11 nuclear and five cytosolic deciduoma-associated proteins.
(3) The present study examined the tissue content and in vitro production of prolactin by "decidualized" and "nondecidualized" endometrium unassociated with pregnancy.
(4) The DAPs were identified by comparing the electrophoretic maps of one-day cultures of decidualized and nondecidualized endometrium from unilaterally scratched Day-6-pseudopregnant animals.
(5) Serum CBG increased 7-fold from Day 4 to Day 9 in decidualized hamsters, but not in nondecidualized sham-operated hamsters.
(6) Neither the increase in vimentin or desmin is observed in hormonally sensitized, nondecidual stromal cells.
(7) We tried to answer this question by comparing the demography of three monkey troops: one lives in a deciduous oak forest; the second lives in an nondeciduous cedar-green oak forest while the third is found on rocky ridges of mountains without any arborescent vegetation.
(8) In the nondecidualized state, insulin increased the secretion of IGFBP-3, IGFBP-2, and the 24-kDa IGFBP, which were slightly inhibited by EGF and relatively unaffected by progesterone alone.
(9) The 60 kDa serum protein remains low in the nondecidualized PSP animal, but it increases in the pregnant animal.
(10) While nondecidualized endometrial cells displayed weak reactivity for the alpha 1 and beta 1 integrin subunits, the individual decidual cells presented both a basement membrane and a cell surface-confined immunoreactivity for anti-alpha 1, -alpha 3, and -beta 1.
(11) The objective of this study was first, to identify the proteins associated with decidualization of the hamster uterus by comparing the protein maps of decidualized and nondecidualized endometrium in vivo, and second, to determine whether decidual cell cultures produced these characteristic proteins.
(12) Perforin-containing GMG cells were in fact present in the deciduomata, but not in adjacent nondecidualized tissues of the same mice.
