A successful outcome of pregnancy in a patient with congenital antithrombin deficiency
Uvod. Prisustvo uroÄene trombofilije predstavlja dodatni faktor rizika od nastanka venskog tromboembolizma u trudnoÄi, ali i komplikacija same trudnoÄe kao Å”to su ponavljani gubitak trudnoÄe, abrupcija placente, intrauterino zaostajanje u rastu i razvoju, te rana preeklampsija. Trudnice sa trombofilijom, a posebno one sa nedostatkom antitrombina, u riziku su od nastanka obe vrste komplikacija u trudnoÄi. Prikaz bolesnice. U radu je prikazana trudnica sa uroÄenim nedostatkom antitrombina u toku njene prve trudnoÄe, Äija majka je Äetiri puta imala duboke venske tromboze, tokom trudnoÄe i puerperijuma. Uz redovno laboratorijsko praÄenje hemostaznih parametara i redovne akuÅ”erske kontrole sa praÄenjem važnog parametra placentne vaskularizacije, Äitava trudnoÄa protekla je bez komplikacija. ProfilaktiÄka terapija niskomolekularnim heparinom uvedena je od 20. nedelje trudnoÄe, a supstituciona terapija primenom koncentrata antitrombina, neposredno pre poroÄaja. PoroÄaj je protekao bez komplikacija i u 37. nedelji roÄena je zdrava muÅ”ka beba telesne težine 3,6 kg i dužine 52 cm, sa Abgar skorom 9/10. ZakljuÄak. Pravovremeno postavljena dijagnoza trombofilije, redovne akuÅ”erske kontrole i praÄenje hemostaznih parametara u toku trudnoÄe, kao i primena adekvatne profilaktiÄke i supstitucione terapije, doprinele su prevenciji moguÄih maternalnih ili komplikacija same trudnoÄe kod bolesnice sa uroÄenim nedostatkom antitrombina.Background. Presence of inherited thrombophilia is an additional risk factor for maternal thromboembolism and certain adverse pregnancy outcomes, including recurrent fetal loss, placental abruption, intrauterine growth restriction and earlyonset severe preeclampsia. Pregnant women with thrombophilia, especially those with antithrombin (AT) deficiency, are at high risk of both kinds of complications. Case report. We presented a pregnant women with congenital antithrombin deficiency in the first pregnancy, whose mother had had four times pregnancy-related deep vein thrombosis, and antithrombin deficiency. With the regular laboratory monitoring of hemostatic parameters and gynaecology surveillance including the follow-up of placental vascular flow, the whole pregnancy proceeded without complications. The prophylactic therapy with low molecular weight heparin was introduced from the 20th week of gestation and one dose of substitution therapy with antithrombin concentrate was administrated before delivery. Pregnancy and labour were terminated without complications at the 37th week of gestation, resulting in the delivery of a healthy male newborn of 3.6 kg body weight, 52 cm long, and with the Apgar scores of 9/10. Conclusion. A timely made diagnosis of thrombophilia, accompanied with regular obstetrics check-ups and follow-ups of hemostatic parameters during pregnancy, as well as the use of adequate prophylactic and substitution therapy, are the successful tools for the prevention of possible maternal complications and pregnancy itself in our patient with congenital AT deficiency
Izmenjena struktura i antioksidativni kapacitet lipoproteinskih Äestica visoke gustine u preeklampsiji
Background/Aim. One of the complications that can oc-
cur during pregnancy is the development of preeclampsia
(PE). The main characteristics of this condition are high
blood pressure and very often signs of kidney damage or
other organ damage. The condition affects 5ā7% of all
pregnant women and is one of the main factors of maternal
and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. The aim
of this study was to investigate the structural and functional
modifications of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles
during high-risk pregnancies (HRP) for PE development.
Methods. The longitudinal prospective study included a to-
tal of 91 pregnant women with a HRP for developing PE.
Out of this total number, 71 women did not develop PE
until delivery, and this group was designated as the group
without PE (WPE). The rest of the 20 HRP women devel-
oped PE before delivery and were designated as the PE
group. The blood was sampled toward the end of each tri-
mester and before the delivery. The distribution of HDL
particles was determined by the vertical 3ā31% polyacryla-
mide gradient gel electrophoresis method. The antioxidative capacity of HDL particles was measured by the activity of
the HDL-associated enzyme ā paraoxonase 1 (PON1).
PON1 activity was determined by the method of kinetic
spectrophotometry from serum samples. Results. The re-
sults have shown that the proportions of HDL 2b particles
significantly increased in the 2nd trimester (p Ė 0.05) and
remained increased until the end of pregnancy in the WPE
group. PON1 activity was significantly higher in the 3 rd tri-
mester (p < 0.05) of the WPE group. In the PE group, we
found that the proportions of HDL 3a particles significantly
decreased in the 2 nd trimester (p < 0.05) and remained de-
creased until the end of pregnancy. PON1 activity has not
changed in the PE group during pregnancy. Conclusion.
Dyslipidemia in pregnancy could be associated with differ-
ent modifications of HDL particles. The adaptive pregnancy
mechanisms expressed as a functional modification of HDL
particles in pregnant women who develop PE seem inade-
quate and, therefore, lose their atheroprotective role.Uvod/Cilj. Jedna od komplikacija koja se može javiti

Cilj ovog rada bio je ispitivanje strukturnih i funkcionalnih
modifikacija lipoproteinskih Äestica visoke gustine (high-
density lipoprotein ā HDL) u trudnoÄama sa visokim rizikom
(TVR) za razvoj PE. Metode. U longitudinalnoj
prospektivnoj studiji uÄestvovala je ukupno 91 trudnica sa
TVR od razvoja PE. Od ukupnog broja trudnica, kod njih 71, PE se nije razvila do kraja trudnoÄe i ova grupa je
oznaÄena kao grupa bez PE (BPE). Kod preostalih 20 žena
sa TVR se razvila PE do poroÄaja, i one su svrstane u grupu
PE. Krv je uzimana za analizu na kraju svakog trimestra i
pred poroÄaj. Raspodela HDL Äestica je odreÄivana
metodom vertikalne elektroforeze u 3ā31% gradijentu
poliakrilamidnog gela. Antioksidativni kapacitet HDL
Äestica je odreÄivan na osnovu aktivnosti enzima
paraoksonaze 1 (PON1) vezanog za HDL. Aktivnost
PON1 u serumu je odreÄivana metodom kinetiÄke
spektrofotometrije. Rezultati. Rezultati su pokazali da se
udeo HDL 2b Äestica znaÄajno poveÄao u drugom trimestru
(p < 0,05) i ostao je poveÄan do kraja trudnoÄe u grupi BPE.
Aktivnost PON1 bila je znaÄajno veÄa u treÄem trimestru (p < 0,05) kod ove grupe trudnica. Udeo HDL 3a
Äestica se znaÄajno smanjio u drugom trimestru u PE grupi
trudnica (p < 0,05) i ostao je snižen do kraja trudno Äe.
Aktivnost PON1 enzima u PE gripi se nije menjala u toku
trudnoÄe. ZakljuÄak. Dislipidemija u trudnoÄi može biti
posledica razliÄitih modifikacija HDL Äestica. Strukturne i
funkcionalne modifikacije HDL Äestica, kao jedan od adaptivnih mehanizama, kod trudnica kod kojih se razvila
PE, nisu adekvatne i kao takve gube svoju ateroprotektivnu

Cholesterol homeostasis is dysregulated in women with preeclampsia
Introduction The link between preeclampsia and dyslipidemia has been established. Even though lipid profile parameters have been intensively investigated in the pathology of preeclampsia, their accurate molecular mechanisms of action have not been fully decoded. Objectives We aimed to identify the specifics of cholesterol metabolism in women affected by lateāonset preeclampsia and single out potential biomarkers associated with lateāonset syndrome. Patient s and methods A total of 90 pregnant women with a priori risk for preeclampsia were monitored at 4 time points during gestation and, based on the outcome of pregnancy, they were classified into the highārisk group (70 women) and the preeclampsia group (20 women). Cholesterol metabolic profiling was done using liquid chromatographyātandem mass spectrometry. Result s The only significant change in the preeclampsia group was an increase in the lathosterol level (P = 0.001). The firstātrimester lathosterol level was higher in the preeclampsia group compared with the highārisk group (P = 0.02). Further, in the preeclampsia group, positive correlations were found between desmosterol and Ī²āsitosterol (Ļ = 0.474; P = 0.03) in the third trimester, desmosterol and campesterol changes between the second and the first (Ļ = 0.546; P = 0.02), and the third and first trimesters (Ļ = 0.754; P <0.001), as well as between the desmosterol and Ī²āsitosterol differences between the third and first trimesters (Ļ = 0.568; P = 0.01). No similar correlations were found in the highārisk group. Conclusions Lateāonset preeclampsia could be associated with an altered lipid profile. By studying the quantitative metabolic signatures of cholesterol, we might assume that both cholesterol synthesis and absorption are increased, that is, there is an imbalance in the cholesterol homeostasis regulation in women affected by the disease

Kombinovano prisustvo genskih polimorfizma faktora koagulacije XIII V34L i inhibitora plazminogen aktivatora 1 4G/5G znaÄajno utiÄe na rizik od spontanog pobaÄaja u srpskoj populaciji
Background:Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a heterogeneous condition affecting up to 5% of women of reproductive age. Inherited thrombophilia have been postulated as one of the causes of RPL. Here we examined the prevalence of nine thrombophilic gene polymorphisms among women with history of recurrent miscarriages and fertile controls.Methods:The study included 70 women with history of at least three early pregnancy losses and 31 fertile controls with no miscarriages. We investigated mutations in genes responsible for clotting and fibrinolysis, including factor V(FV) Leiden, FV H1299R, factor II (FII) G20210A, methyl-ene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T and A1298C, factor XIII (FXIII) V34L, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) 4G/5G and endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) H1 and H3 haplotypes using reverse polymerase chain reaction ViennaLab cardiovascular disease StrippAssays. Results:Our results showed no significant increase inprevalence of tested polymorphisms in women with RPL. However, relative risk for PRL among women heterozygousfor FXIII V34L was 2.81 times increased (OR 2.81, 95% CI1.15ā6.87, P=0.023). Haplotype analysis showed that combined presence of high-risk genotypes for FXIII andPAI-1 significantly increases risk for RPL (OR 13.98, CI95% 1.11ā17.46, P=0.044).Conclusions:This is the first study in Serbian population that investigated prevalence of FVR2, A1298C, FXIII V34Land EPCR gene variants. Compound heterozygosity forFXIII V34L and PAI-1 4G is significant risk factor for recur-rent miscarriage. Our results should be viewed in context of small case-control study, so further large prospective studies are need for confirmation of our findings.Uvod: Ponavljani spontani pobaÄaji (PSP) su etioloÅ”ki heterogeni i javljaju se kod 5% parova u reproduktivnom period. Jedan od moguÄih uzroka PSP su i nasledne trombofilije. U okviru ove studije analizirali smo uÄestalost devet trombofilnih polimorfizama kod pacijentkinja sa ponavljanim spontanim pobaÄajima. Metode: Ispitanici su u studiji podeljeni u dve grupe na osnovu anamnestiÄkih podataka o broju spontanih pobaÄaja (70 u grupi sa PSP i 31 u kontrolnoj grupi). Ispitivani su sledeÄi genski polimorfizmi: faktor V Lajden (FVL), FVR2, faktor II (FII) G21210A, metilentetrahidrofolat reduktaza (MTHFR) C677T i A1298C polimorfizmi, inhibitor aktivatora plazminogena 1 (PAI-1) 4G/5G, faktor XIII (FXIII) V34L i endotelni protein C receptor (EPRC) H1, H2 i H3 haplotipovi. Za detekciju navedenih polimorfizama je koriÅ”Äena metoda multipleks reakcije lanÄanog umnožavanja i reverzne hibridizacije na ViennaLab stripovima. Rezultati: Dobijeni rezultati nisu pokazali poveÄanu uÄestalost ispitivanih polimorfizama u grupi sa PSP. PosmatrajuÄi uticaj pojedinaÄnih polimorfizama na ishod trudnoÄe pokazano je da polimorfizam FXIII V34L poveÄava rizik za ponavljane spontane pobaÄaje (OR 2,81, 95%CI 1,15-6,87, P=0,023). Analizom haplotipova ustanovljeno je da kombinovano prisustvo V34L i PAI-1 4G varijanti znaÄajno poveÄava rizik za PSP (OR 13,98, CI 95% 1,11-17,46, P=0,044). ZakljuÄak: Ovo je prva studija koja je ispitivala prevalencu FVR2, A1298C, FXIII V34L and EPCR polimorfizama u populaciji žena iz Srbije. Složeni heterozigoti za FXIII V34L i PAI-1 4G polimorfizme imaju znaÄajno poviÅ”en rizik sa ponavljane gubitke trudnoÄe. Radi potvrde dobijenih rezultata potrebne su veÄe prospektivne studije
Cholesterol Metabolic Profiling of HDL in Women with Late-Onset Preeclampsia
A specific feature of dyslipidemia in pregnancy is increased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentration, which is probably associated with maternal endothelium protection. However, preeclampsia is most often associated with low HDL cholesterol, and the mechanisms behind this change are scarcely explored. We aimed to investigate changes in HDL metabolism in risky pregnancies and those complicated by late-onset preeclampsia. We analyze cholesterol synthesis (cholesterol precursors: desmosterol, 7-dehydrocholesterol, and lathosterol) and absorption markers (phytosterols: campesterol and Ī²-sitosterol) within HDL particles (NCSHDL), the activities of principal modulators of HDL cholesterolās content, and major HDL functional proteins levels in mid and late pregnancy. On the basis of the pregnancy outcome, participants were classified into the risk group (RG) (70 women) and the preeclampsia group (PG) (20 women). HDL cholesterol was lower in PG in the second trimester compared to RG (p < 0.05) and followed by lower levels of cholesterol absorption markers (p < 0.001 for campesterolHDL and p < 0.05 for Ī²-sitosterolHDL). Lowering of HDL cholesterol between trimesters in RG (p < 0.05) was accompanied by a decrease in HDL phytosterol content (p < 0.001), apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) concentration (p < 0.05), and paraoxonase 1 (PON1) (p < 0.001), lecithinācholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) (p < 0.05), and cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP) activities (p < 0.05). These longitudinal changes were absent in PG. Development of late-onset preeclampsia is preceded by the appearance of lower HDL cholesterol and NCSHDL in the second trimester. We propose that reduced capacity for intestinal HDL synthesis, decreased LCAT activity, and impaired capacity for HDL-mediated cholesterol efflux could be the contributing mechanisms resulting in lower HDL cholesterol
Novi biomarkeri u procjeni rizika za razvoj preeklampsije
Despite significant progress in improving pregnancy outcomes in recent decades,
predicting the risk and treatment of preeclampsia are still major challenges in clinical
practice (1). The aim of this study was to examine non-routine biomarkers in preeclampsia
risk assessment. The study involved 90 women with high-risk pregnancies, 20 of whom
developed preeclampsia by the end of pregnancy. Biochemical parameters were determined
between the 12th and 13 th weeks of gestation. The results of the study showed that women
who later developed preeclampsia had higher concentrations of lathosterol, cholesterol
synthesis marker (p <0.05), inflammatory proteins - monocyte chemoattractant protein-1
(MCP-1), and resistin (p <0.01, both), as well as paraoxonase-1 (PON1) activity (p <0.05).
Binary logistic regression analysis showed that higher concentrations of lathosterol, MCP-1,
resistin, and PON-1 were associated with preeclampsia development. To determine whether
the parameters significant in univariate analysis, are independent predictors of
preeclampsia, we applied multivariate regression analysis. Clinical markers commonly used
in risk assessment (maternal age and body mass index, mean arterial pressure, and uterine
blood flow), lathosterol, MCP-1, resistin, and PON-1 were included in the model. MCP-1 and
resistin stood out as significant independent predictors of preeclampsia. The diagnostic
accuracy of the investigated model was excellent (AUC=0.859). The study results indicated
the importance of a multi-marker approach in risk assessment for preeclampsia
development.Uprkos znaÄajnom napretku u poboljÅ”anju ishoda trudnoÄe poslednjih decenija,
predviÄanje rizika i terapija preeklampsije su joÅ” uvijek veliki izazovi u kliniÄkoj praksi (1).
Cilj ove studije je bio ispitivanje biomarkera koji se ne koriste u rutinskoj praksi u proceni
rizika za razvoj preeklampsije. U studiji je uÄestvovalo 90 žena sa visokoriziÄnim
trudnoÄama, od kojih je 20 razvilo preeklampsiju do kraja trudnoÄe. Biohemijski parametri
su odreÄivani izmeÄu 12. i 13. nedelje gestacije. Rezultati studije su pokazali da su žene koje
su razvile preeklampsiju imale viŔe koncentracije latosterola, markera sinteze holesterola (p
<0,05), inflamatornih proteina - monocitnog hemoatraktantnog proteina-1 (MCP-1) i
rezistina (p < 0,01, oba), kao i aktivnost enzima paraoksonaze-1 (PON1) (p <0,05). Binarna
logistiÄka regresiona analiza je pokazala da su viÅ”e koncentracije latosterola, MCP-1,
rezistina i PON-1 povezane sa razvojem preeklampsije. Da bi se utvrdilo da su parametri koji
su se u univarijantnoj analizi pokazali znaÄajnim, nezavisni prediktori preeklampsije,
primjenili smo multivarijantnu regresionu analizu. U model su uÅ”li kliniÄki parametri koji se
uobiÄajeno koriste u procjeni rizika (starost i indeks tjelesne mase majke, srednji arterijski
pritisak i protok krvi kroz matericu), latosterol, MCP-1, rezistin i PON-1. MCP-1 i rezistin su
se istakli kao znaÄajni nezavisni prediktori preeklampsije. Pokazana je odliÄna dijagnostiÄka
taÄnost ispitivanog modela (AUC=0,859). Rezultati ove studije su ukazali na znaÄaj
multimarkerskog pristupa u procjeni rizika za razvoj preeklampsije.VIII Kongres farmaceuta Srbije sa meÄunarodnim uÄeÅ”Äem, 12-15.10.2022. Beogra
Examination of Trace Metals and Their Potential Transplacental Transfer in Pregnancy
With the ever-growing concern for human health and wellbeing, the prenatal period ofdevelopment requires special attention since fetuses can be exposed to various metals through themother. Therefore, this study explored the status of selected toxic (Pb, Cd, Ni, As, Pt, Ce, Rb, Sr, U)and essential trace metals (Mn, Co, Cu, Zn, Se) in the umbilical cord (UC) sera, maternal sera, andplacental tissue samples of 92 healthy women with normal pregnancies. A further aim focuses on thepotential transplacental transfer of these trace metals. Based on the obtained levels of investigatedelements in clinical samples, it was observed that all of the trace metals cross the placental barrierand reach the fetus. Furthermore, statistical analysis revealed significant differences in levels oftoxic Ni, As, Cd, U, Sr, Rb, and essential Mn, Cu, and Zn between all three types of analyzed clinicalsamples. Correlation analysis highlighted As to be an element with levels that differed significantlybetween all tested samples. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to enhance these findings.PCA demonstrated that Cd, Mn, Zn, Rb, Ce, U, and Sr were the most influential trace metals indistinguishing placenta from maternal and UC serum samples. As, Co, and Cu were responsible forthe clustering of maternal serum samples, and PCA demonstrated that the Pt level in UC sera wasresponsible for the clustering of these samples. Overall, the findings of this study could contribute toa better understanding of transplacental transfer of these trace metals, and shed a light on overalllevels of metal exposure in the population of healthy pregnant women and their fetuses
Effects of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus on Cholesterol Metabolism in Women with High-Risk Pregnancies: Possible Implications for Neonatal Outcome
Metabolic disorders in pregnancy, particularly gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), are associated with an increased risk for adverse pregnancy outcome and long-term cardiometabolic health of mother and child. This study analyzed changes of serum cholesterol synthesis and absorption markers during the course of high-risk pregnancies, with respect to the development of GDM. Possible associations of maternal lipid biomarkers with neonatal characteristics were also investigated. The study included 63 women with high risk for development of pregnancy complications. Size and proportions of small low-density (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles were assessed across trimesters (T1āT3), as well as concentrations of cholesterol synthesis (lathosterol, desmosterol) and absorption markers (campesterol, Ī²-sitosterol). During the study, 15 women developed GDM, while 48 had no complications (non-GDM). As compared to the non-GDM group, women with GDM had significantly higher triglycerides in each trimester, while having a lower HDL-C level in T3. In addition, they had significantly lower levels of Ī²-sitosterol in T3 (p < 0.05). Cholesterol synthesis markers increased across trimesters in both groups. A decrease in serum Ī²-sitosterol levels during the course of pregnancies affected by GDM was observed. The prevalence of small-sized HDL decreased in non-GDM, while in the GDM group remained unchanged across trimesters. Newbornās size in the non-GDM group was significantly higher (p < 0.01) and inversely associated with proportions of both small, dense LDL and HDL particles (p < 0.05) in maternal plasma in T1. In conclusion, high-risk pregnancies affected by GDM are characterized by altered cholesterol absorption and HDL maturation. Advanced lipid testing may indicate disturbed lipid homeostasis in GDM
Lipidni status fizioloÅ”ke nekomplikovane trudnoÄe
Specifically altered lipid profile and physiological hyperlipidemia during pregnancy are considered essential for the normal course of pregnancy and fetal development. This specific alteration of the lipid profile raises the questions about potential proaterogenic effect of these altered lipid parameters during pregnancy and its influence on the development of cardiovascular disease in women later in life. Research topic was also the association of altered lipid profile during pregnancy with the development of complications in pregnancy, especially gestational diabetes, hypertension and preeclampsia. Through the mediation of cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP), the activity of which grows in mid-gestation, there are exchanges of the triglycerides between VLDL and LDL or HDL particle, which leads to increased accumulation of triglycerides in these particles, causes them to become smaller and denser with much greater atherogenic potential. These changes in lipid profile point out that a large number of pregnancies increase risk of development of cardiovascular diseases later in life. In order to optimize the predictive capacity of the lipid profile during pregnancy, it is recommended to determine the indexes of lipid.SpecifiÄno izmenjen lipidni profil i fizioloÅ”ka hiperlipidemija tokom trudnoÄe smatraju se esencijalnim za normalan ishod trudnoÄe i razvoj fetusa, a upravo ova specifiÄnost promena parametara lipidnog profila otvara pitanja njihove potencijalne proaterogenosti tokom trudnoÄe i uticaja na rizik za razvoj kardiovaskularne bolesti u kasnijem životu žene. TakoÄe se ispituje i povezanost izmenjenog lipidnog profila tokom trudnoÄe sa razvojem komplikacija u trudnoÄi, pre svega sa razvojem gestacijskog dijabetesa, hipertenzije i preeklampsije. Posredovanjem holesterol estar transportnog proteina (CETP), Äija aktivnost raste sredinom trudnoÄe, dolazi do izmene triglicerida i holesterola izmeÄu lipoproteinskih Äestica vrlo niske gustine (VLDL) i lipoproteinskih Äestica male gustine (LDL) ili lipoproteinskih Äestica velike gustine (HDL), tako da dolazi do poveÄanog nakupljanja triglicerida u LDL i HDL Äesticama, pri Äemu one postaju manje i guÅ”Äe, i kao takve imaju veÄi proaterogeni potencijal, Å”to sve ukazuje i na proaterogeni potencijal trudnoÄe, posebno ukoliko se ona ponavlja viÅ”e puta tokom života. Da bi se optimizirao prediktivni kapacitet lipidnog profila tokom trudnoÄe preporuÄuje se odreÄivanje lipidnih indeksa
