Plasma gelsolin as a potential biomarker for intrauterine inflammation in pregnant women with preterm premature rupture of membranes: A pilot study
Fig 5
Representative immunohistochemical images of amniotic membranes.
(A) In one stage-Ⅲ CAM case, localized expression of GSN was observed in the chorionic membrane layer (arrows). In contrast, no GSN expression was detected in another stage-Ⅲ CAM case or a CAM-negative control. (B) Quantification of GSN-positive cells showed a significantly higher count in the CAM group compared to the non-CAM groups. Scale bar = 50 μm; pGSN, plasma gelsolin; CAM, chorioamnionitis.
