[Human placental morphology as an index of features of maternal-fetal relationships].

Principle possibilities of the complex evaluation of the mother-fetus exchange were studied by means of morphological investigations of the human placenta in normality, in vesicular mole, late toxicoses, hemolytic disease of newborns and malformations of the fetus. The investigation of the ratio of the villi of different size, deposition of fibrinoid on their surface, the change of the amount of cytotrophoblastic elements, cells of Kaschenko-Hofbauer and the polymerity of the basic substance are of diagnostic value. The authors propose the basal lamina of the placenta to be included into the scheme of the examination of placenta.
