[Placental pathology in gestational diabetes]
1First Affiliated Hospital, Beijing Medical University.
To observe the influence of gestational diabetes over placental morphology, a prospective study was taken for 28 gestational diabetic pregnancies and 25 non-diabetic control subjects. Placental net weight in diabetic group is 549.38 +/- 143.01 g; in control group 458.75 +/- 60.98 g, significant difference was found between above two groups. The changes of diabetic placentas in light microscopy shows villous immaturity, proliferation of small fetal vessels, syncytiotrophoblast knots, cytotrophoblast and vessel syncytiotrophoblast membrane increased. Morphohistometric investigations showed that the changes of placenta in gestational diabetes are significant.
