Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of vaginally and orally administered misoprostol on the local cervical inflammatory response. METHODS:Healthy women with a normal intrauterine pregnancy between 8 and 12 weeks of gestation presenting for an elective termination of pregnancy by vacuum aspiration were recruited into a cohort study with a control and a treatment group. In the treatment group, the women were randomized to misoprostol, 400 mug, given either orally or vaginally 3 h before surgery. Immunohistochemistry staining of CD45, CD68, MMP 8, MMP 9, TIMP 1 and TIMP 2 were assessed in cervical biopsies obtained directly prior to mechanical cervical dilatation and vacuum aspiration. RESULTS:In the treatment group, there was a greater amount of CD45-positive cells in the subepithelium region of the cervix compared to the control group. The staining of CD68 was similar in both groups. The immunostaining of MMP 8 and MMP 9 was greater in the treatment group, while the expression of TIMP 1 and TIMP 2 did not differ between control and treatment groups. CONCLUSIONS:Compared to untreated controls, treatment with misoprostol was associated with a greater expression of inflammatory cells. It could be hypothesized that administration of misoprostol mimics the cervical ripening at term pregnancy by a possible influx and activation of inflammatory cells, which increases MMP 8 and MMP 9 and thereby leads to the degradation of collagen and cervical softening.

CONTRACEPTION文献大全abstract::STS 557 (17 alpha-cyanomethyl-17 beta-hydroxy-estra-4.9(10)-diene-3-one) is a potent progestin. This compound was 10 times as potent as the standard levonorgestrel as judged by the classic Clauberg-McPhail Assay. The antiprogestational response is significant when STS 557 treatment starts 2 days before progesterone ad...
