Abstract

Background: The perinatal period involves significant physiological and metabolic transitions, particularly concerning hypertensive disorders, preeclampsia, hemorrhage, lactation challenges, and oxidative stress. Although pharmacological therapies are available, their safety and accessibility remain inconsistent, especially in resource-limited settings. Indonesia’s extensive biodiversity and deep-rooted ethnomedicinal traditions offer promising yet underutilized botanical alternatives. This study aimed to review the efficacy of Indonesian medicinal plants used in pregnancy, postpartum, and lactation. Methods: This systematic review investigates ten Indonesian medicinal plants traditionally used during pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and lactation: Sauropus androgynus, Curcuma longa, Moringa oleifera, Nigella sativa, Centella asiatica, Orthosiphon aristatus, Syzygium polyanthum, Andrographis paniculata, Solanum nigrum, and Zingiber officinale. Literature from 2000 to 2025 was reviewed using PRISMA guidelines across global and regional databases. Phytochemical composition, mechanisms of action, therapeutic effects (e.g., antihypertensive, antidiabetic, galactagogue, hemostatic, antioxidant), and clinical relevance were critically evaluated. Results: All ten plants demonstrated pharmacological potential relevant to perinatal health challenges. Notably, Zingiber officinale offers antiemetic and anti-inflammatory benefits during early pregnancy, complementing the lactogenic, antihypertensive, and wound-healing properties of other species. However, gaps persist in human trials, dosage standardization, and regulatory oversight. Conclusion: The review highlights the importance of integrating validated traditional botanicals into perinatal care through interdisciplinary research, targeted clinical trials, and culturally responsive health policies. Bridging ethnopharmacology with maternal health systems offers a scalable, sustainable pathway toward maternal wellness and equity in Indonesia and comparable global settings.

Abstract

Objectives: Preterm birth (PTB) remains a leading global cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality, with multifactorial origins including inflammation, endocrine disruption, and placental dysfunction. Recent evidence identifies cadmium (Cd), a persistent environmental toxicant, as a modifiable contributor to PTB. This review aims to integrate the mechanistic, molecular, and clinical literature on maternal blood cadmium exposure and its role in the pathogenesis of PTB.Methods: A systematic and integrative review was conducted following PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Literature from 2000 to 2025 was retrieved using PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science. Eligible studies included molecular toxicology, animal models, human epidemiological data, and placental mechanistic research addressing cadmium exposure and preterm birth. Inclusion criteria emphasized mechanistic clarity, gestational outcome relevance, and measurable cadmium biomarkers. Figures, tables, and mechanistic diagrams were used to illustrate toxicological convergence pathways.Results: Cadmium disrupts placental homeostasis via oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, impaired trophoblast invasion, progesterone suppression, and activation of inflammatory cascades such as the NLRP3 inflammasome. Consistent associations between maternal cadmium burden and PTB risk were found across animal, cellular, and human population studies. However, heterogeneity in exposure assessment, absence of unified risk thresholds, and confounding from co-exposures challenge causal inference. Literature remains fragmented, lacking integration between mechanistic insights and clinical risk models.Conclusions: Cadmium should be reclassified as a central agent in the pathophysiology of PTB. We propose a precision obstetrics framework that includes environmental cadmium screening in high-risk pregnancies, implementation of exposome-informed policies, and prospective multicenter studies with molecular endpoints. Obstetric care must evolve to include toxicological risk profiling as standard practice in the prevention of PTB.Kadmium dalam Darah dan Kelahiran Prematur: Tinjauan Toksikologi Sistemik terhadap Mekanisme Molekuler, Disrupsi Plasenta, dan Implikasi Obstetri TranslasiAbstrakTujuan: Kelahiran Prematur (preterm birth/PTB) tetap menjadi penyebab utama morbiditas dan mortalitas neonatal di seluruh dunia dengan etiologi multifaktorial yang mencakup inflamasi, gangguan endokrin, dan disfungsi plasenta. Bukti terbaru mengidentifikasi kadmium (Cd), suatu toksikan lingkungan persisten, sebagai faktor kontribusi yang dapat dimodifikasi terhadap PTB. Tinjauan ini bertujuan untuk mengintegrasikan literatur mekanistik, molekuler, dan klinis mengenai paparan kadmium dalam darah maternal dan perannya dalam patogenesis PTB.Metode: Tinjauan sistematis dan integratif dilakukan sesuai pedoman PRISMA 2020. Literatur dari tahun 2000 hingga 2025 dikumpulkan melalui database PubMed, Scopus, Embase, dan Web of Science. Studi yang memenuhi syarat mencakup toksikologi molekuler, model hewan, data epidemiologi manusia, dan penelitian mekanistik plasenta yang mengevaluasi hubungan antara paparan kadmium dan kelahiran prematur. Kriteria inklusi menekankan kejelasan mekanistik, relevansi terhadap hasil kehamilan, serta penggunaan biomarker kadmium yang terukur. Gambar, tabel, dan diagram mekanistik digunakan untuk mengilustrasikan jalur konvergensi toksikologis.Hasil: Kadmium mengganggu homeostasis plasenta melalui stres oksidatif, disfungsi endotel, gangguan invasi trofoblas, supresi progesteron, dan aktivasi jalur inflamasi seperti inflammasom NLRP3. Hubungan konsisten antara beban kadmium maternal dan risiko PTB ditemukan dalam studi hewan, seluler, dan populasi manusia. Namun, adanya heterogenitas dalam penilaian paparan, belum adanya ambang risiko yang seragam, serta pengaruh faktor pajanan lainnya menjadi tantangan dalam penarikan kesimpulan kausal. Literatur masih terfragmentasi dan belum mengintegrasikan temuan mekanistik dengan model risiko klinis secara menyeluruh.Kesimpulan: Kadmium seharusnya diklasifikasikan ulang sebagai agen sentral dalam patofisiologi PTB. Kami mengusulkan suatu kerangka kerja obstetri presisi yang mencakup skrining lingkungan terhadap kadmium pada kehamilan berisiko tinggi, menerapkan kebijakan berbasis exposome, serta studi prospektif multisentra dengan titik akhir molekuler. Pelayanan kebidanan harus berkembang dengan mengadopsi profil risiko toksikologis sebagai bagian dari praktik standar dalam pencegahan kelahiran prematur.Kata kunci: Disrupsi Plasenta; Interaksi Endokrin-Inflamasi; Kesehatan Reproduksi Lingkungan; Mekanisme Kelahiran Prematur; Toksisitas Kadmium,

Abstract

Cleft lip and palate and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) are common congenital conditions and may suggest subtle genetic abnormalities. When no chromosomal defects are detected through standard testing, this combination presents a diagnostic challenge in prenatal care. . This case report presents a 33-year-old multigravida woman at 34 weeks of gestation, referred for suspected fetal growth restriction and cleft palate. Serial ultrasound examinations confirmed asymmetric IUGR along with a complete cleft involving the lip, alveolus, and palate. Elective cesarean delivery of pregnancy was performed at 36 weeks of gestation via cesarean section, with the infant diagnosed with unilateral cleft lip and palate. This case underlines the importance of considering advanced genetic testing in non-syndromic cases of CLP with IUGR. This case highlighting a gap in standard prenatal diagnostics and emphasizing the need for a broader genetic approach in such cases. Clinicians should remain alert and pursue early, comprehensive evaluation and multidisciplinary planning to ensure accurate diagnosis, timely intervention, and better neonatal outcomes.

Abstract

Imminent preterm labor (IPL) is defined by irregular uterine contractions, back pain, and vaginal discharge, with approximately 25-30% of cases progressing to preterm delivery. Preterm birth remains a major global issue, contributing to 35% of neonatal deaths, and often results in long-term health complications for the infant. This case report discusses a 35-year-old woman (G4P2A1) at 30 weeks of gestation, with a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), bad obstetric history (BOH), and a right maxillary abscess. She presented with swelling and pus discharge from the maxillary region, along with abdominal cramps, but no signs of imminent labor. The patient’s diabetes was managed with insulin, and her clinical condition was complicated by high blood glucose and an ongoing infection. The cervical length was measured via ultrasound, which indicated a risk for preterm delivery, and the patient was diagnosed with IPL. Initial management included fluid resuscitation, tocolytics to prevent labor, and antibiotics for the maxillary abscess. The patient was closely monitored, and insulin therapy was adjusted to stabilize glucose levels. Despite the complexity of managing IPL in diabetic patients, the patient's condition improved after debridement of the abscess and management of blood glucose levels. This case emphasizes the importance of multidisciplinary care in managing complicated pregnancies with comorbidities like T2DM.

Abstract

Objective: To systematically evaluate current scientific evidence on the association between cadmium (Cd) exposure and the risk of preeclampsia in pregnant women, and to explore underlying mechanisms and population-specific patterns.Methods: This systematic review was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. Comprehensive literature searches were performed across PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar without time restriction, focusing on the past 15 years. Inclusion criteria encompassed original human studies measuring cadmium exposure—biological, dietary, or environmental—and reporting preeclampsia as an outcome. Risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.Results: Twenty-five eligible studies were included, spanning case-control, cohort, and cross-sectional designs across diverse geographic regions. Most studies found a positive association between cadmium exposure and increased preeclampsia risk, though methodological heterogeneity exists. Proposed mechanisms include cadmium-induced oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, placental insufficiency, and hormonal dysregulation. Evidence also highlights differences in risk based on diet, region, and environmental regulation. However, inconsistencies in exposure metrics and population stratification remain.Conclusion: The cumulative evidence suggests cadmium is a plausible environmental risk factor for preeclampsia. Future research must standardize exposure assessments and address population-specific modifiers. This review provides critical groundwork for hypothesis-driven studies and policy frameworks addressing toxic metal exposure in maternal health.Paparan Kadmium dan Preeklampsia: Tinjauan Sistematis terhadap Risiko Lingkungan pada KehamilanAbstrakTujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan tinjauan sistematis terhadap bukti ilmiah terkini mengenai hubungan antara paparan kadmium (Cd) dan risiko preeklampsia pada ibu hamil, serta mengeksplorasi mekanisme biologis yang mendasari dan pola risiko spesifik populasi.Metode: Tinjauan sistematis ini disusun berdasarkan pedoman PRISMA. Pencarian literatur dilakukan secara menyeluruh melalui basis data PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, dan Google Scholar tanpa batasan waktu, dengan fokus pada publikasi 15 tahun terakhir. Kriteria inklusi meliputi penelitian asli pada manusia yang mengukur paparan kadmium—baik secara biologis, dietetik, maupun lingkungan—dan melaporkan preeklampsia sebagai luaran. Risiko bias dinilai menggunakan Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.Hasil: Sebanyak 25 studi memenuhi kriteria dan dianalisis, mencakup desain studi kasus-kontrol, kohort, dan potong lintang dari berbagai wilayah geografis. Mayoritas studi menunjukkan adanya hubungan positif antara paparan kadmium dan peningkatan risiko preeklampsia, meskipun terdapat heterogenitas metodologis. Mekanisme yang diusulkan meliputi stres oksidatif akibat kadmium, disfungsi endotel, insufisiensi plasenta, dan disregulasi hormonal. Bukti juga menunjukkan perbedaan risiko berdasarkan pola diet, lokasi geografis, dan tingkat pengawasan lingkungan. Namun, masih terdapat ketidakkonsistenan dalam metrik paparan dan stratifikasi populasi.Kesimpulan: Bukti kumulatif mendukung bahwa kadmium merupakan faktor risiko lingkungan yang potensial terhadap preeklampsia. Penelitian selanjutnya perlu menstandarkan metode pengukuran paparan dan mempertimbangkan faktor-faktor spesifik populasi. Tinjauan ini memberikan landasan penting bagi studi berbasis hipotesis dan penyusunan kebijakan terkait paparan logam toksik dalam kesehatan maternal.Kata kunci: Komplikasi kehamilan; paparan kadmium; preeklampsia; stres oksidatif; toksikologi lingkungan

Abstract

HIGHLIGHTS Perinatal ultraprocessed food (UPF) exposure disrupts maternal gut microbiota composition, increasing pro‑inflammatory taxa and systemic endotoxemia. Placental immune activation and oxidative stress represent key mediators linking maternal diet to fetal immune and metabolic programming. Neonatal outcomes include altered regulatory T‑cell development, Th2 immune skewing, allergic sensitization, and early metabolic risk. Integrated dietary counseling, microbiota‑targeted interventions, and public health policies are urgently needed to mitigate transgenerational immune health risks.   ABSTRACT Objective: To synthesize and critically evaluate evidence linking perinatal exposure to ultraprocessed foods (UPFs) with maternal gut dysbiosis, placental inflammation, and neonatal immune programming, and to identify translational implications for perinatal care. Materials and Methods: A systematic narrative review was conducted following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, without PROSPERO registration. Literature searches of major databases (2000–March 2025) identified 1,845 records. After screening and eligibility assessment, 20 studies were included. Study quality was appraised using validated tools, and data were synthesized thematically into evidence domains covering maternal microbiota, inflammatory pathways, placental changes, and neonatal immune outcomes. Results: Maternal UPF consumption was associated with gut dysbiosis characterized by reduced microbial diversity, increased pro-inflammatory taxa, and systemic endotoxemia. Elevated inflammatory biomarkers including lipopolysaccharide, interleukin‑6, tumor necrosis factor‑a, and C‑reactive protein were frequently reported. Limited placental studies revealed increased innate immune activation and oxidative stress. Neonatal immune alterations included regulatory T cell suppression, T helper 2 skewing, increased allergic sensitization, and metabolic programming changes. Evidence strength was highest for maternal gut dysbiosis and immune programming but limited for direct placental mechanisms. Translational opportunities include dietary counseling, microbiota-targeted interventions, and public health strategies aimed at improving maternal diet quality. Conclusion: Perinatal exposure to UPFs adversely impacts the maternal gut–placenta–fetal immune axis. Integrated dietary interventions and population-level nutrition policies are urgently needed to mitigate downstream transgenerational immune risk.

Abstract

Background: Water birth, defined as labor and/or delivery conducted in warm water, has gained increasing recognition as a patient-centered and physiologically supportive birth practice. Beyond analgesia, growing evidence indicates that water immersion during labor modulates maternal neuroendocrine regulation, psychological well-being, and neonatal physiological adaptation. Nevertheless, these hormonal and psychophysiological mechanisms remain insufficiently integrated into conventional perinatal research and clinical frameworks. This review aims to synthesize current evidence on the neuroendocrine, psychophysiological, obstetric, and neonatal effects of water birth and to evaluate its clinical effectiveness and safety in low-risk pregnancies. Methods: An integrative review was conducted using a PRISMA-guided approach to identify peer-reviewed studies published between 2000 and 2025. Literature searches retrieved 3,287 records from major biomedical databases, of which 44 studies (12 randomized controlled trials, 19 cohort studies, 6 case–control studies, and 7 systematic reviews) met inclusion criteria. Data were synthesized thematically, focusing on maternal hormonal responses (oxytocin, β-endorphins, cortisol, prolactin), labor outcomes, breastfeeding, postpartum mood, neonatal adaptation, and safety considerations. Results: Across study designs, water immersion during labor was associated with increased endogenous oxytocin and β-endorphin activity and reduced stress-related hormonal responses. Clinically, first-stage labor was shortened by approximately 42–78 minutes, and epidural analgesia use was reduced by 30–50% compared with conventional land birth. Episiotomy rates were generally below 5%, and maternal satisfaction scores were consistently higher. Early breastfeeding initiation occurred in 86–92% of water birth cases, with exclusive breastfeeding rates at six weeks ranging from 66–77%. Neonatal outcomes, including 5-minute Apgar scores and NICU admission rates, were comparable to or slightly better than conventional birth in low-risk populations, with no consistent increase in infection or respiratory complications when standardized protocols were applied. Conclusion: Water birth supports a hormonally optimized and psychologically protective labor environment, with measurable benefits for labor efficiency, maternal experience, breastfeeding success, and neonatal physiological transition. When implemented under evidence-based guidelines, it represents a credible non-pharmacological option within contemporary, physiology-informed maternity care.

Abstract

Objective: Trisomy 21 remains the most common live-born aneuploidy and a major contributor to perinatal morbidity. Although prenatal screening, particularly non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), has advanced substantially, clinical management offers no corrective options. Emerging allele-specific genome-editing approaches propose targeted removal or silencing of the extra chromosome 21. This review summarizes current evidence and evaluates the translational relevance of these technologies in perinatal medicine.Methods: A narrative review was conducted following PRISMA-aligned procedures. A structured search of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science (January 2000–July 2025) identified 1,242 records. After duplicate removal, title/abstract screening, and full-text assessment based on predefined inclusion criteria, 54 studies met eligibility requirements. Data were synthesized across four domains: mechanistic strategies, developmental applicability, translational feasibility, and ethical–regulatory considerations.Results: Allele-specific CRISPR-Cas9 studies demonstrated selective cleavage of the supernumerary chromosome 21 in cellular models, with partial restoration of near-euploid transcriptional patterns. Additional approaches—XIST-mediated silencing and centromere destabilization—provided alternative mechanisms with varying stability and specificity. Evidence remains limited to in vitro systems, with no validated embryo or fetal applications. Key challenges include mosaicism, delivery barriers, individualized SNP targeting, and ethical governance.Conclusions: Allele-specific chromosome editing represents a promising but still experimental direction for future perinatal therapeutics. Current findings justify continued multidisciplinary investigation while emphasizing cautious interpretation and rigorous ethical oversight prior to any clinical translation. Abstrak Tujuan: Trisomi 21 tetap menjadi aneuploidi yang paling sering ditemukan pada kelahiran hidup dan merupakan kontributor utama terhadap morbiditas perinatal. Meskipun skrining prenatal—khususnya non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT)—telah mengalami kemajuan yang signifikan, penatalaksanaan klinis hingga kini belum menawarkan opsi korektif. Pendekatan pengeditan genom spesifik alel yang mulai berkembang mengusulkan penghilangan atau penghambatan terarah terhadap salinan ekstra kromosom 21. Tinjauan ini merangkum bukti terkini serta mengevaluasi relevansi translasional teknologi tersebut dalam kedokteran perinatal.Metode: Tinjauan naratif dilakukan dengan mengikuti prosedur yang selaras dengan PRISMA. Pencarian terstruktur terhadap PubMed, Scopus, dan Web of Science (Januari 2000–Juli 2025) mengidentifikasi 1.242 rekaman. Setelah penghapusan duplikasi, penyaringan judul/abstrak, dan penilaian teks lengkap berdasarkan kriteria inklusi yang telah ditentukan, sebanyak 54 studi memenuhi persyaratan kelayakan. Data disintesis ke dalam empat domain: strategi mekanistik, aplikabilitas perkembangan, kelayakan translasional, serta pertimbangan etika dan regulasi.Hasil: Studi CRISPR-Cas9 spesifik alel menunjukkan pemotongan selektif terhadap kromosom 21 supernumerari pada model seluler, dengan pemulihan parsial pola transkripsi menuju profil ekspresi gen yang menyerupai kondisi euploid. Pendekatan lain—seperti penghambatan berbasis XIST dan destabilisasi sentromer—menyediakan mekanisme alternatif dengan tingkat kestabilan dan spesifisitas yang bervariasi. Bukti saat ini terbatas pada sistem in vitro, tanpa aplikasi yang tervalidasi pada embrio maupun janin. Tantangan utama meliputi mosaikisme, hambatan pengantaran, kebutuhan penargetan SNP individual, serta tata kelola etis.Kesimpulan: Pengeditan kromosom spesifik alel merupakan arah yang menjanjikan, namun masih bersifat eksperimental bagi terapi perinatal di masa mendatang. Temuan saat ini mendukung keberlanjutan penelitian multidisipliner, sekaligus menekankan perlunya interpretasi yang hati-hati dan pengawasan etika yang ketat sebelum penerapannya dalam praktik klinis.Kata Kunci: Bedah genom janin; CRISPR-Cas9; Penyuntingan gen perinatal; Terapi kromosom; Trisomi 21
