Article Abstract

Background: The amniotic membrane (AM) has shown immense potential in repairing wounds due to its great regenerative qualities. Although the role of AM as a biological scaffold in repairing wounds has been studied well, the tissue regenerative potential of AM-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and conditioned media (CM) derived from it remains to be discovered as of now. Here, we examined the wound healing abilities of fresh and frozen thawed rabbit AM (rAM) along with the MSCs and their lyophilised CM in rabbits challenged with skin wounds.

Methods: To elucidate the role of rAM-MSCs and its CM in repairing the wound, we isolated it from the freshly derived placenta and characterised their differentiation potential by performing an in vitro tri-lineage differentiation assay besides other standard confirmations. We compared the wound repair capacities of rAM-MSCs and lyophilised CM with the fresh and cryopreserved AM at different timelines by applying them to excision wounds created in rabbits.

Results: By monitoring wound contractions and tissue histology of wounded skin at different time points after the application, we observed that rAM-MSCs and rAM-MSC-derived CM significantly promoted wound closure compared to the control group. We also observed that the wound closure capacity of rAM-MSCs and rAM-MSC-derived CM is as efficient as fresh and cryopreserved rAM.

Conclusion: Our findings suggest that rAM-MSCs and rAM-MSC derived CM can be effectively used to treat skin wounds in animals and correctly delivered to the damaged tissue using AM as a bioscaffold, either fresh or frozen.

Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is a critical obstetric complication characterized by the entry of amniotic fluid and its components into maternal circulation during parturition, leading to acute cardiopulmonary failure, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), and anaphylactic shock. Affected patients typically exhibit abrupt onset, rapid progression, and exceedingly high mortality. Early recognition and prompt intervention are pivotal in AFE management.

A highly sensitive PCR method developed in our university accurately identifies the presence or absence of intra-uterine (IU) microbes without false positive results. With the inclusion of the results of an accurate assessment of IU microbes, risk factors for the development of moderate/severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a chronic lung disease that affects premature infants who require prolonged oxygen therapy or medical ventilation, were examined in 107 spontaneous preterm neonates. Perinatal risk factors were compared between cases of moderate/severe BPD (N = 49) and mild/non-BPD (N = 58).

Although many preclinical and clinical studies are ongoing on amniotic membrane extract (AME), an amniotic membrane-derived product developed to support ocular surface healing, the effect of AME on the basic cellular functions and properties of human corneal epithelial cells (hCECs) has not been clearly defined. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of AME supplementation to the culture media, on basic cellular functions of hCECs and on expression of specific cell markers of hCECs, as well as to determine its effectiveness in an experimental in vitro wound model. hCECs were seeded with the constant cell density in 6, 24 and 48 well plates.

Background: Umbilical cord hemorrhage (UCH) is a rare but catastrophic obstetric emergency associated with nearly 50% fetal mortality, and its precise pathogenic mechanisms remain elusive in clinical practice. The pathophysiological cascade involves hemorrhagic expansion from ruptured umbilical vessels predominantly the umbilical vein which generates compressive forces on adjacent umbilical arteries within the constrained Wharton's jelly. This acute vascular compromise precipitates the sudden cessation of fetoplacental circulation, culminating in irreversible hypoxic-ischemic injury.
