Childbearing Women

Exposure to drugs and toxic chemicals, during late pregnancy, is a common occurrence in childbearing women. Some studies have reported that more than 90% of pregnant women use at least 1 prescription; of this, 60% used more than one. Another study indicated that 80% of the consumed drugs were not prescribed, and of this figure, 95% were “over-the-counter” drugs. Acetaminophen, the safest of all over-the-counter drugs, has been reported to induce fetal liver necrosis in man and animals and to have abortifacient and embryocidal action in mice. This study examines the degree to which acetaminophen affects the neonatal liver and kidney, when a fatty diet is simultaneously fed to the mother during late pregnancy.Timed Swiss Webster female mice were gavaged during late pregnancy (days 16-19) with fat suspended acetaminophen at a high dose, HD = 84.50 mg/kg, and a low dose, LD = 42.25 mg/kg; a control group received fat alone.

SummaryThe fibrinolytic activity of the intimal cells of decidual spiral arteries and the syncytium of placental villi was studied by electron microscopy in ten normal full-term human pregnancies using a modification of the fibrin slide technique. Endothelial cells lining the intima of the decidual spiral arteries showed a considerably greater fibrinolytic activity than intimal cytotrophoblast and the syncytiotrophoblast showed no activity.The replacement of endothelial cells by an intimal lining of cytotrophoblast, and the presence of cytotrophoblast in the media, appears to play an important role in the reduction of the fibrinolytic activity of the vessel. This inhibition of fibrinolytic activity in the utero-placental arteries may be the physiological mechanism which controls fibrin deposition in these vessels and on the placental villi.
