습관성 유산에 대한 최신 연구 경향 및 실험적 방법 연구

Objectives : Recurrent pregnancy loss occurs in approximately 0.5-3% of women. There are many studies concerning immunological factor recently. Therefore, aim of this study is to examine the latest trend of researches concerning recurrent pregnancy loss, and controlled experiment on animals about antiphospholipid antibody. Method : We referred Pubmed site by using searching word of 'recurrent pregnancy loss' (Limits : 2000.1-2004.3, animal) Results and conclusions : 1. We searched 29 papers. Immunological factor : 18 ( about antiphospholipid antibody : 10 ), Chromosomal abnormality : 6, The others : 5 2. In five papers about controlled experiment on animals, (1) Materials : 8-12 weeks old mice / 11.5-day old-rat embryos / New Zealand rabbit (2) Inductions : inject intraperitoneally with human IgG containing antiphospholipid antibodies / culture in a solution of 1 ml medium which contained IgG purified from sera of women / inject intradermally with cardiolipin (3) Treatments : inject intraperitoneally with complement component before / culture in a solution of 1 ml medium which contained IgG purified from sera of women with SLE and RPL or from healthy women / inject intradermally with TFX, 0.9% NaCl (4) Measurements : weight fetuses and placentas, calculate frequency of fetal resorption / after culture, examine the embryos / examine platelet counts, APTT and numbers of live and dead newborns, resorbed fetuses, body mass, newborn viability and survival rates.
