[Cysts in the villous stroma of the placenta in maternal diabetes mellitus (author's transl)]. 1978

P Emmrich, and U Fuchs, and E Gödel

Edemateous placentae of diabetic mothers have been examined by light as well as electron microscopy. In addition to typical fetal capillaries there were observed thin-walled cysts containing Hofbauer-cells rather than blood cells which, unlike the capillary system, cannot be filled up with intraarterially injected ink. Derivation and significance of these cavities are discussed. They are considered to be a possible expression of frustraneous extracapillary formation of new vessels. The changes, while not specific, are characteristic of the placenta in maternal diabetes mellitus.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D010920 Placenta A highly vascularized mammalian fetal-maternal organ and major site of transport of oxygen, nutrients, and fetal waste products. It includes a fetal portion (CHORIONIC VILLI) derived from TROPHOBLASTS and a maternal portion (DECIDUA) derived from the uterine ENDOMETRIUM. The placenta produces an array of steroid, protein and peptide hormones (PLACENTAL HORMONES). Placentoma, Normal,Placentome,Placentas,Placentomes
