Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) in cervical secretions in women with symptoms of preterm delivery

چکیده
ABSTRACT The aim of this prospective study was to investigate a value of insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) in cervical secretion in women with symptoms of preterm delivery and correlate this test to the Bishop Score in prediction of a preterm delivery. The study group included 30 pregnant women with singleton pregnancy between 24 – 34 gestational weeks who were hospitalized because of a threatening preterm delivery with intact fetal membranes. A positive Actim Partus test (concentration higher than 10 μg/l) and Bishop Score higher than 4 signify a risk of the preterm delivery. The Bishop Score is a better predictor of the preterm delivery in patients with symptoms of the preterm delivery.

Objectives The loss of muscle mass in older adults is attributed to the impaired ability of the skeletal muscle in response to anabolic stimuli and the increased activation of the proteolytic signaling pathway. With increasing age, plasma concentrations of circulating anabolic hormones and growth factors, e.g. testosterone, Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) and Insulin-like Growth Factor Bin...

BACKGROUND/AIM Prediction and prevention of preterm delivery remain great challenge. It is important to include in everyday medical practice determination of certain markers that could help identifying pregnant women with preterm delivery. Insulinlike growth factor (IGF) is involved in the control mechanism of fetal and placental growth and development. The aim of this study was to examine the ...
