Akihiko Sekizawa,Masatoshi Jimbo,Hiroshi Saito,Mariko Iwasaki,Yumi Sugito,Yasuo Yukimoto,Junko Otsuka,Takashi Okai +7 more
TL;DR: A real-time quantitative PCR assay is developed with which to measure the concentration of fetal DNA within maternal plasma, and the Y-chromosome-specific SRY sequence is analyzed to quantify the number of genome equivalents per milliliter of plasma in women carrying male fetuses.
Cell-free Fetal DNA Is Increased in Plasma of Women with Hyperemesis Gravidarum
Akihiko Sekizawa,Yumi Sugito,Mariko Iwasaki,Akira Watanabe,Masatoshi Jimbo,Shinichi Hoshi,Hiroshi Saito,Takashi Okai +7 more
TL;DR: The concentration of fetal DNA in maternal plasma in HG patients was evaluated using maternal blood samples obtained at the time of admission from 35 patients with HG carrying a single fetus between 7 and 16 weeks of gestation.

Relationship between Severity of Hyperemesis Gravidarum and Fetal DNA Concentration in Maternal Plasma
Yumi Sugito,Akihiko Sekizawa,Antonio Farina,Antonio Farina,Yasuo Yukimoto,Hiroshi Saito,Mariko Iwasaki,Nicola Rizzo,Takashi Okai +8 more
TL;DR: Investigating a possible correlation between HG and fetal DNA concentrations found an overactivated maternal immune system that destroys trophoblasts, causing both HG and higher concentrations of cell-free fetal DNA.

Placenta Increta: Postpartum Monitoring of Plasma Cell-free Fetal DNA
Masatoshi Jimbo,Akihiko Sekizawa,Yumi Sugito,Ryu Matsuoka,Kiyotake Ichizuka,Hiroshi Saito,Takashi Okai +6 more
TL;DR: A case of placenta increta is described in which a small part of the Placenta remained adherent despite manual removal of theplacenta at the time of delivery.

Fate of Fetal Nucleated Erythrocytes Circulating in Maternal Blood: Apoptosis Is Induced by Maternal Oxygen Concentration
TL;DR: The mechanism by which apoptotic changes are induced in fetal NRBCs transferred into the maternal circulation is clarified, and differences in oxygen concentration between fetal and maternal blood play an important role in the clearance ofNRBCs from maternal circulation.
