ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the expression of endometrial matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) 2 and 9 and E-cadherin in peri-implantation phase of infertile women who have undergone in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles. METHODS: This prospective study included 51 patients who underwent endometrial biopsy during the receptive phase in a menstrual cycle prior to IVF treatment. The samples were evaluated by tissue microarray for immunohistochemical study. RESULTS: The expression of MMP-2, MMP-9, and E-cadherin in the endometrium prior to IVF treatment was not associated with pregnancy. There was a decrease in E-cadherin immunodetection, the higher the age of the patients, a negative relationship between E-cadherin and MMP-2, and a positive association between MMP-9 and E-cadherin. CONCLUSIONS: The MMP-2, MMP-9, and E-cadherin are expressed in the endometrium of infertile patients during the receptive phase of the natural menstrual cycle. However, there is no correlation between the expression of these molecules and the clinical IVF outcomes.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: a gestação gemelar com mola hidatiforme completa e feto vivo é um evento raro e tem, na maior parte dos casos, evolução para aborto ou interrupção médica por causa dos riscos para a mãe e para o feto. Quando associada à reprodução assistida, a decisão de finalização é mais difícil por causa do desejo do casal em manter a gestação. Método: este artigo apresenta um caso de gestação gemelar dizigótica com mola hidatiforme completa em coexistência com feto diploide e placenta normal em uma paciente de 45 anos após fertilização in vitro por ovodoação. Resultados: paciente optou por manter a gestação e o parto ocorreu com 29 semanas, sem complicações maternas. Recém-nascido evoluiu com bom desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor, sem sequelas. Conclusão: este relato de caso ilustra a possibilidade de conduta expectante, porém não podemos ignorar o fato de que existe um alto risco de permanência da doença trofoblástica gestacional. Infelizmente, a raridade do caso torna o manejo clínico ainda controverso.


Introduction: twin pregnancy with complete hydatiform mole and live fetus is a rare event with the most cases resulting in abortion or medical interruption due to maternal and fetal risks. When associated with assisted reproduction, the decision of pregnancy interruption is more difficult due to the desire of the couple to maintain the pregnancy. Method: this study will present a case of twin dizygotic pregnancy with complete hydatiform mole coexisting with fetus diploid and normal placenta in a patient 45 years old, after in-vitro fertilization by egg donation. Results: patient chose to keep the pregnancy and the delivery occurred at 29 weeks without major maternal complications. Newborn evolved with good psychomotor developmentwithout sequelae. Conclusion: this case report illustrates the possibility of expectant management, but wecannot ignore the fact that there is a high risk of persistent gestational trophoblastic disease. Unfortunately, the rarity of the case makes the clinical management still controversial.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: analisar a associação da via de partos consecutivos de 714 gestantes adolescentes, que pariram na Maternidade do Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, no período de janeiro a dezembro de 2001. PACIENTES E MÉTODOS: em estudo prospectivo, analítico, transversal, tipo incidência, foi analisada a sucessão das vias de parto da primeira até a quarta gestação de 714 parturientes adolescentes, com idade variando entre 13 e 19 anos (média 17,2±1,5 anos). Identificando-se, no livro da sala de parto, a cada dia, as adolescentes que pariram, após ter obtido o consentimento livre e esclarecido, cada uma respondeu a um questionário estruturado, com 65 perguntas diretas e respostas fechadas, pré-codificadas, entre as quais estavam vias de parto e o número de gestações. RESULTADOS: observou-se que 527 (73,8por cento) adolescentes tiveram uma única parturição, 149 (20,9por cento) duas parturições, 35 (4,9por cento) três partos e 3 (0,4por cento) quatro partos. Dentre os 273 partos cesáreos, 207 (75,8por cento) ocorreram em primíparas, 65 (23,8por cento) em paucíparas e 1 (0,4por cento) em multípara. Houve associação estatisticamente significante entre via de parto da primeira e da segunda parturições; em 83 (55,7por cento) gestantes adolescentes quanto à via transvaginal e em 41 (27,5por cento), para a via cesárea. Coincidiram também as vias de parto de segunda e terceira parturições, em 23 (65,7por cento) gestantes adolescentes no parto transvaginal e em outras 10 (28,6por cento) na cesárea. CONCLUSAO: identificou-se tendência da coincidência das vias de parto em gestações sucessivas em parturientes adolescentes, até a terceira parturição

ABSTRACT

This case-control study analyses the association between the tuberculin response and the neonatal BCG vaccine in 330 children under 15 who are home contacts of tuberculosis patients, taking into account risk factors for the transmission of infection. Interviews were conducted with 330 children, their parents or legal guardians. Chest X-rays were taken and the tuberculin test (TT) applied using 0.1 ml of PPD RT23, taking an induration reading of > or = 10 mm as the cut-off point for a positive test result. Prior BCG vaccination was ascertained by observing the presence of a scar on the deltoid region of the right arm. Six children were excluded because they had signs/symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis, thereby reducing the final sample to 324 children. The multivariate analysis showed that being exposed to a patient with pulmonary lesions with cavities (OR = 3.14; CI: 1.59-6.20; p = 0.000), a positive sputum smear (OR = 3.65; CI: 1.52-8.78; p = 0.002) or a positive culture (OR = 4.42; CI: 1.39-14.1; p = 0.005), being under five (OR = 0.47; CI: 0.22-0.99; p = 0.045) are independently associated with a positive TT. The fact that a prior BCG scar is not associated with a positive response to the TT indicates the need to re-open discussion of the guidelines which exist in many poor countries where tuberculosis is still a serious public health problem. Such guidelines include those issued by the Brazilian Ministry of Health, which considers the child under 15 in contact with a tuberculosis case to be infected only if there is a TT of 10 mm or more and the child received no prior BCG vaccination.
