In 34 women missed miscarriage was diagnosed readily by ultrasound; all but five had depressed hCG and PAPP-A levels. | |||||||||||||||

|
CONCLUSION: AMI patients treated with PCI had an early significant reduction in MMP-9, MMP-9/TIMP-1 ratio and PAPP-A when compared to patients with stable angina pectoris treated with PCI. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
High-dose atorvastatin significantly decreased PAPP-A at 1 month and hs-CRP at 6 months in patients with verified CAD. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Patients randomly assigned to atorvastatin 10 mg did not show a significant decrease in PAPP-A from baseline at 1 or 6 months. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Maternal serum levels of PAPP-A in the first trimester are significantly reduced when a fetus affected by Down syndrome is present. | |||||||||||||||

|
On univariate analysis, male gender (P<0.001), age (P<0.001), previous history of myocardial infarction (P=0.013), reduced ejection fraction (P<0.001), severe coronary artery disease (P<0.001), aspirin treatment (P<0.001), PAPP-A levels (P<0.001), and PAPP-A/proMBP ratio (P<0.001) were correlated with the number of complex stenoses. | |||||||||||||||

|
UNLABELLED: The objective of this study was to investigate the time profiles of plasma matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP-1 and -2), and pregnancy associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), compared to patients with stable angina pectoris (AP), all treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent. | |||||||||||||||

|
Although PAPP-A levels were found to be lower in individuals with ectopic pregnancies and intrauterine abortions compared to those with normal pregnancies, PAPP-A measurements cannot be used to distinguish between EP and intrauterine abortion.35 Tornehave et al. examined the tissue distribution and intensity of immunohistochemical staining for hCG, SP-1, and PAPP-A in trophoblastic and decidualized endometrial tissues of 10 women with EP. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Serum PAPP-A levels were lower in the EP and intrauterine abortion groups compared to the normal pregnancy group; they were undetectable in 82% of the EP group and 55% of the intrauterine abortion group. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
A live fetus was demonstrated in 259 women of whom six subsequently miscarried; one of these had markedly depressed serum hCG and PAPP-A, but normal SP1 levels, and two had oligohydramnios. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The authors measured PAPP-A, hCG, and SP1 concentrations in 164 serum samples and 29 tissue samples obtained from these women. | |||||||||||||||

|
The objectives of the FACS trial are to determine:
(i) Whether initiation of fluvastatin therapy in patients with ACS immediately after hospital admission decreases levels of CRP, IL-6, and pregnancy-associated plasma protein A/ proform eosinophilic major basic protein (PAPP-A/proMBP), which represent indirect markers of plaque instability and indicators of poor prognosis; and (ii) Whether initiation of fluvastatin therapy decreases the occurrence of ischemic events (death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, recurrent symptomatic ischemia, urgent revascularization, cardiac arrest) in patients with ACS.

Newborns and young infants less than 46 months of age also have increased free fraction of the drug in the blood because of decreased plasma protein (less alpha-1 acid glycoprotein and albumin) binding. | |||||||||||||||
