IRIS Institutional Research Information System - AIR Archivio Istituzionale della Ricerca

IRIS è il sistema di gestione integrata dei dati della ricerca (persone, progetti, pubblicazioni, attività) adottato dall'Università degli Studi di Milano.

AIR nasce in UNIMI nel 2006 con lo scopo di raccogliere, documentare e conservare le informazioni sulla produzione scientifica dell'Università degli Studi di Milano e costituisce di fatto l'Anagrafe della ricerca dell'Ateneo.

Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were measured in the first trimester of pregnancy in women who subsequently developed preeclampsia (PE, n 16) and fetal growth restriction (FGR, n 12) requiring iatrogenic delivery before 37 weeks, and those who had uncomplicated pregnancies delivering at term (n 60). Mean PTX3 levels were significantly higher in women who subsequently developed PE (7.31 ng/ml, SD 4.12) when compared to those with normal pregnancy outcome (4.92 ng/ml, SD 1.94, p 0.0046). There were no significant differences between PTX3 levels in women with FGR (4.82 ng/ml, SD 2.35) compared to normal pregnancy outcome (p 0.88). The median CRP levels did not vary significantly between the three groups (p 0.26). PTX3 levels in women who subsequently develop PE are already elevated in the first trimester, but not in those that develop FGR. This supports the hypothesis of an excessive maternal inflammatory response to pregnancy in the etiology of PE.
