Oocyte donations (OD) represent 4.5% of all in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles. While OD pregnancies face increased risks of obstetrical complications, especially pregnancy-induced hypertension and pre-eclampsia (PE), little is known about the physiology and the physiopathology of placentation. We performed a prospective case-control study to analyze uterine artery Doppler pulsatility index (UtA-PI) and serum maternal 17β-estradiol (17β-E) at 11 + 0 to 13 + 6 weeks’ gestation in singleton pregnancies with different modes of conception. Study groups were: 55 OD, 48 IVF with autologous oocytes from fresh cycles (Autologous-Fresh IVF), 10 IVF with autologous oocytes from frozen cycles (Autologous-Frozen IVF) and 122 spontaneously conceived pregnancies (SC). The mean UtA-PI and serum maternal 17β-E at 11 to 13 + 6 weeks were significantly lower in OD as compared to SC and autologous IVF, either from fresh or frozen cycles. Oocyte donation presents lower UtA-PI and lower serum 17β-E in the first trimester of pregnancy. The etiology of these particularr differences is likely multifactorial and deserves further investigation.

AbstractIntroductionIncreased oxidative/nitrative stress is characteristic not only in pathologic, but also in healthy pregnancy. High uterine artery pulsatility index (UtAPI) at the end of the first trimester is associated with altered placentation and elevated risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes. We aimed to examine the relationship of systemic oxidative/nitrative stress and uterine artery pulsatility index in the first trimester and their correlation to pregnancy outcomes.Material and methodsHealthy pregnant women were recruited at 12–13th gestational week ultrasound examination; UtAPI was determined by color Doppler ultrasound. Patients were divided into high (UtAPI ≥ 2.3) (n = 30) and low (n = 31) resistance groups, and pregnancies were followed until labor. Systemic oxidative/nitrative stress was estimated by measuring total peroxide level, total antioxidant capacity and nitrotyrosine level.ResultsPlasma total peroxide level was significantly lower (2,510 ± 39 µM vs. 2,285 ± 59 µM), total antioxidant capacity was higher (781 ± 16 mM CRE vs. 822 ± 13 mM CRE) in the high UtAPI group, which were accompanied by lower birth weight (3,317 ± 64 vs. 3,517 ± 77 g, P < 0.05). Plasma total peroxide level showed a negative correlation (by Pearson) to UtAPI (P < 0.01) and positive correlation to birth weight (P < 0.05).ConclusionsAccording to our results, lower systemic oxidative stress showed correlation with high UtAPI measured between the 12–13th weeks of gestation. We also found significant differences in the birth weight of healthy newborns; therefore it is worth examining this relationship in pathological pregnancies.

Background: The aim is to study the role of first trimester pregnancy associated plasma protein A (PAPP A) and second trimester uterine artery pulsatility index (PI) in prediction of pre-eclampsia in early pregnancy.Methods: This prospective study conducted at GSVM Medical College, Kanpur from May 2011 to May 2012 included 100 pregnant women. Serum PAPP-A level was determined in the first trimester (8-14 weeks) and uterine artery Doppler was done at 20-25 weeks of gestation.Results: Out of 100 patients 7 developed pre-eclampsia. Mean PAPP-A level in pre eclamptic and normotensive patients were 1.25±1.4 and 2.5±0.5ng/ml respectively. Mean PI level in pre eclamptic and normotensive patients were 1.77±0.28 and 0.96±0.25 respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of PAPP-A at cut off <1.7ng/ml was 71%, 71% respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of pulsatility index at cut off >1.4 was 100% ,94% respectively.Conclusions: Low level of maternal serum PAPP-A at 8-14weeks and high level of uterine artery PI at 22-25 weeks of pregnancy can predict subsequent development of pre-eclampsia.
