Objective
To compare the effect of an oxytocin infusion alone or preceded by an intravaginal application of misoprostol for labor induction in women with term pregnancies and a low Bishop score.Methods
This study randomized 100 multiparous women with singleton pregnancies over 38 weeks and a Bishop score less than 6 to receive either a single 50-µg dose of misoprostol intravaginally 3 hours before initiation of the oxytocin infusion or only an oxytocin infusion. The time from induction to delivery, the route of delivery, and maternal and fetal outcomes were analyzed.Results
The mean time from induction to delivery was 9.36 ± 1.97 hours in the misoprostol plus oxytocin group and 11.08 ± 3.23 in the oxytocin alone group (P = 0.002). The rates of vaginal delivery, 1- and 5-minute Agpar scores, placental abruption, and postpartum hemorrhage were similar between the 2 groups, as were the rates of admission to the neonatal intensive care unit. There were no cases of perinatal asphyxia.Conclusion
A 50-µg intravaginal application of misoprostol before starting the oxytocin infusion is a more effective method of labor induction than an oxytocin infusion alone for our study population. 相似文献2.

Objectives
To audit caesarean sections performed at full cervical dilatation over a three year period in a tertiary referral centre in Ireland. To evaluate (i) the rate of caesarean deliveries in the second stage of labour, (ii) the indication for delivery and (iii) the associated fetal and maternal morbidity in this cohort of women.Study design
This cohort study was carried out in the University Hospital Galway (UHG). Medical records of 136 consecutive women with singleton cephalic pregnancies at term, identified from the hospital database, who underwent a second stage caesarean section (CS) between 1 January 2006 and 31 December 2008, were reviewed retrospectively and demographic and outcome data were collected.Results
During the study period 2801/10,202 (27.5%) babies were delivered by CS. One hundred and thirty six CS (4.8%) were performed at full dilatation. The rate of CS during the second stage increased from 0.9% in 2006 to 1.8% in 2008. The majority of women were nulliparous (76.5%) and in spontaneous labour (64%). 44.1% of women had a second stage CS without a trial of instrumental delivery. 41.3% of public deliveries were attended by a consultant. The majority of babies (54%) were delivered because of a prolonged second stage with a mean duration of 146 min from full dilatation to delivery. Twenty-four of 59 primiparous women (40.7%), who underwent CS because of a prolonged second stage, did not receive oxytocin. 13.2% of babies were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. Estimated blood loss was documented in 67% of cases (n = 91); 14.3% of women (n = 13) had a postpartum haemorrhage greater than or equal to 1000 mls. 23% of these women (n = 3) required a blood transfusion. The overall blood transfusion rate was 2.2%. 50% of women had a hospital stay of greater than four days.Conclusions
There is a worrying rise in the overall rate of CS at full dilatation. Audit of the second stage CS rate is a useful measure of clinical standards. Strategies for improved care include increased consultant presence, meticulous documentation and ongoing training of junior obstetric staff to ensure safe intrapartum care.Condensation

Objective
To determine the best management for women with premature rupture of membranes at term.Method
In 2008, 579 women admitted to Peking University First Hospital for premature rupture of membranes (PROM) at term were allocated to one of 3 groups. Group 1 (n = 292) consisted of those whose labor began spontaneously within 12 hours of PROM; group 2 (n = 234), of those whose labor did not begin within 12 hours of PROM and were induced with oxytocin; and group 3 (n = 53), of those who accepted a cesarean delivery immediately after PROM was diagnosed. The χ2 test was used to compare the rates of intrauterine and neonatal infection in these 3 groups.Results
Compared with the intrauterine and neonatal infection rates for group 1 (3.4% and 13.7%) and group 3 (1.9% and 3.8%), the corresponding rates were higher for group 2 (10.7% and 21.8%) (P < 0.05). In group 2, 76.5% of the women began labor within 24 hours of induction and 92.7% of these within 12 hours.Conclusion
In women at term, induction should be performed immediately after PROM is diagnosed, as it is likely to fail when labor does not begin within 12 hours of oxytocin administration. 相似文献4.

Objective
This study looked at the association between caesarean section (CS) and Body Mass Index (BMI) in primigravidas compared with multigravidas.Study design
We enrolled women at their convenience, in the first trimester after an ultrasound examination confirmed an ongoing pregnancy. Weight and height were measured digitally and BMI calculated. After delivery, clinical details were again collected from the Hospital's computerised database.Results
Of the 2000 women enrolled, there were 50.4% (n = 1008) primigravidas and 49.6% (n = 992) multigravidas. Of the 2000 8.5% were delivered by elective CS and 13.4% were delivered by emergency CS giving an overall rate of 21.9%. The overall CS rate was 30.1% in obese women compared with 19.2% in the normal BMI category (p < 0.001). In primigravidas the increase in CS rate in obese women was due to an increase in emergency CS (p < 0.005) and in multigravidas the increase was due to an increase in elective CS (p < 0.01). In obese primigravidas 20.6% had an emergency section for fetal distress. In obese multigravidas 17.2% had a repeat elective CS.Conclusion
The influence of maternal obesity on the increase in CS rates is different in primigravidas compared with multigravidas. 相似文献5.

Objective
To compare the efficacy and safety of oral misoprostol with intracervical prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) gel for the active management of premature rupture of membranes (PROM) at term.Methods
Women with pregnancies between 37 and 42 weeks presenting with PROM at term and a Bishop score of 5 or less were randomly assigned to receive either a 4-hourly oral dose of 50 µg of misoprostol up to a maximum of 3 doses or 2 applications of intracervical PGE2 gel at a 6-hour interval. Oxytocin was given if labor had not started after 12 hours.Results
Twenty women in the misoprostol group (n = 31) delivered within 12 hours compared with 5 in the PGE2 group (n = 30) (P < 0.001). The induction-to-delivery interval in the misoprostol group was shorter than in the PGE2 gel group (615 min vs 1070 min; P < 0.001). The mode of delivery was comparable between the 2 groups (P = 0.821). Abnormalities in uterine contractions and neonatal outcomes were also comparable. The requirement for oxytocin was lower and patient satisfaction was better in the misoprostol group.Conclusion
Oral misoprostol is a safe and efficacious alternative to intracervical PGE2 gel in the active management of PROM at term. 相似文献6.

Objective
Our purpose was to determine if prolonged second-stage labour independently increases postpartum anal incontinence.Study design
360 primiparous women were studied retrospectively after vaginal delivery of term cephalic singletons, including a group with short second-stage labour (<30 min, n = 163) and a group with a prolonged second stage (>90 min, n = 197). A quality of life questionnaire on anal incontinence (FIQOL) was sent out at 15 months after delivery.Results
184 women (96 with short second-stage labour and 88 with a prolonged second stage) answered the questionnaire (response rate 51%). Flatus incontinence was reported after prolonged second-stage labour in 9.1% of women vs 15.6% after short second stage (p = 0.18). Fecal incontinence was reported after prolonged second-stage labour in 2.3% vs 5.2% after a short second stage (p = 0.45).Conclusion
We suggest that prolonged second stage of labour should not be associated with an increased risk of postpartum incontinence. 相似文献7.

Objective
To assess maternal and neonatal outcomes following the use of additional doses of vaginal prostaglandins (PGE2) above the recommended dose for induction of labour in post-dates pregnancies.Study design
Retrospective cohort study set in Aberdeen Maternity Hospital, Aberdeen, UK. A total of 3514 nulliparous women with labour induced with vaginal PGE2 (3 mg tablet or 2 mg gel) for a post-dates singleton pregnancy from January 1994 to December 2009 were included. Women receiving ≤ 2 doses of PGE2 were compared with those receiving > 2 doses (maximum 5 doses). Binary logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Primary outcomes included mode of delivery, terbutaline use, indication for CS, postpartum haemorrhage, neonatal unit admission, and Apgar score < 7. A further analysis was conducted which stratified for number of doses of PGE2 given.Results
Of the 3514 women who met inclusion criteria, 605 (17%) received PGE2 that exceeded the licensed dose. They were more likely to deliver by caesarean section (53.4% vs. 31.8%, OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.8–2.6), have a caesarean section for ‘failed’ induction of labour (11.4% vs. 1.9%, OR 4.1, 95% CI 1.3–13.2) or lack of progress in labour (37% vs. 17%, OR 2.8, 95% CI 2.3–3.4), but not for fetal concerns (8.2% vs. 8.8% OR 0.9, 95% CI 0.7–1.3). Terbutaline use and postpartum haemorrhage was no more likely (0.7% vs. 0.9% OR 0.6 95% CI 0.3–1.5 and 19.8% vs. 18.9% OR1.01, 95% CI 0.97–1.06 respectively). Apgar score < 7 (1.1% vs. 1.3% OR 0.9 95% CI 0.8–1.1) and neonatal unit admission (13.7% vs. 10.7% OR 1.2 95% CI 0.8–1.6) were similar in both groups.Conclusion
The use of additional doses of vaginal PGE2 above the recommended dose for induction of labour was not associated with increased maternal or neonatal morbidity and almost half of these women achieved a vaginal delivery. 相似文献8.

Objective
To determine whether there is an association between endometrial expression of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle preceding in vitro fertilization (IVF) and treatment outcome.Methods
Biopsy specimens from the endometria of 52 women in the luteal phase were immunostained against LIF. Embryo culture and transfer were done according to standard procedures.Results
Clinical pregnancy occurred in 39% of the women following IVF, and strong endometrial immunohistochemical staining for LIF was associated with pregnancy (P = 0.01). The women with a strong LIF expression had a 6.4-fold higher chance of becoming pregnant than those with weaker intensities (P = 0.005).Conclusion
Endometrial expression of LIF during the luteal phase can be used as a predictor of IVF success. 相似文献9.
A noninvasive evaluation of autonomic nervous system dysfunction in women with an overactive bladder
Objective
To verify the hypothesis that a connection exists between overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome and a bladder-specific dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system (ANS).Method
An electrocardiogram recorded heartbeat cycles from the onset of urinary urgency to 5 minutes after voiding in 33 women with an overactive bladder and 176 controls. Power spectral density (PSD) analysis allowed to quantify heart rate variability (HRV), which is in relation to ANS function. Three-dimensional spectrograms and multiscale entropy graphs were used to display HRV values.Results
The differences between patients and controls were all significant in the time and frequency domains of HRV (P < 0.05), which suggests disturbances in bladder-specific ANS activity in women with OAB.Conclusion
By quantifying HRV data, PSD analysis provides a simple, noninvasive method of assessing disturbances in ANS activity and monitoring treatment in women with OAB. It can also be used to evaluate other neuronal conditions. 相似文献10.

Objective
To evaluate whether controlled cord traction (CCT) for management of the third stage of labor reduced postpartum blood loss compared with a “hands-off” management protocol.Methods
Women with imminent vaginal delivery were randomly assigned to either a CCT group or a hands-off group. The women received prophylactic oxytocin. The primary outcome was blood loss during the third stage of labor.Results
In total, 103 women were allocated to the CCT group and 101 were allocated to the hands-off group. Median blood loss in the CCT group and the hands-off group was 282.0 mL and 310.2 mL, respectively. The difference in blood loss (- 28.2 mL) was not significant (95% confidence interval, - 92.3 to 35.9; P = 0.126). Blood collection in the hands-off group took 1.2 minutes longer than in the CCT group, which may have contributed to this difference.Conclusion
CCT may reduce postpartum blood loss. The present findings support conducting a large trial to determine whether CCT can prevent postpartum hemorrhage. 相似文献11.

Purpose
Most women with one previous cesarean section (CS) are suitable for either a vaginal birth after CS (VBAC) or an elective repeat CS. Previously, nurse-led prenatal education and support groups have failed to have an impact on the mode of delivery, which women opted for after one CS. A novel one-stop obstetrician-led cesarean education and antenatal sessions (OCEANS) has been developed to inform and empower women in their decision-making following one previous CS. The objective of our study was to evaluate how OCEANS influences the mode of delivery for women who have previously had one CS.Study Design
Two-hundred and sixty-six women who had a single previous lower segment CS were invited to attend OCEANS, which is a 1-h discussion group of women between 5 and 15 in number, facilitated by an experienced obstetrician. Data were collected prospectively on women who were invited to attend OCEANS over a 12-month period commencing on the 1st January 2012.Results
188 (71 %) attended the group, while 20 (8 %) canceled their appointment and 58 (22 %) did not keep their appointment. Those who attended OCEANS were 38 % more likely to opt for a VBAC than those who did not attend. There was no difference in the rates of successful vaginal delivery between women who attended OCEANS and those who did not (56 vs. 61 %, p = 0.55).Conclusions
While nurse-led prenatal education and support groups have no impact on mode of delivery after one CS, a dedicated obstetrician-led clinic increases the rate of those opting for VBAC by 38 %. Such clinics may be a useful tool helping in empowering women in their decision-making and reduce the rate of CSs. 相似文献12.

Objective
To compare the “top-hat” and conventional loop electrosurgical excision procedures (LEEP) performed in women with a type 3 transformation zone to assess the rate of endocervical margin involvement.Methods
Women with a type 3 transformation zone randomly allocated into the conventional (n = 94) and top-hat LEEP (n = 86) groups were analyzed.Results
The rate of endocervical margin involvement in the top-hat group was lower than that in the conventional group (32.6% vs 53.2%; RR 0.36; 95% CI, 0.19-0.68; P = 0.003). Among women with positive endocervical margins, women undergoing top-hat LEEP were less likely to have residual lesions compared with those in the conventional group (52.2% vs 84.1%, respectively, P = 0.04). There was no significant difference in the complication rate between the top-hat and conventional groups (7.0% vs 10.6%, respectively, P = 0.39).Conclusion
Top-hat LEEP performed in women with a type 3 transformation zone reduces the risks of endocervical margin involvement and residual diseases compared with conventional LEEP, with no significant difference in perioperative complications. 相似文献13.

Objective
To determine perioperative risk factors for prolonged hospitalization after gynecologic laparoscopic surgery.Methods
Data on patients who underwent gynecologic laparoscopic surgery at a single academic institution from January 2000 to January 2009 were evaluated. Patient demographics, clinical history, intraoperative data, and postoperative adverse events were analyzed. Logistic regression analysis identified significant predictors of prolonged hospitalization (hospital stay > 48 h after surgery). A risk score was created from the analysis to predict prolonged hospitalization.Results
Eight hundred seven patients were included. The median body mass index was 26.5 kg/m2 (range, 14.2-72.3 kg/m2), and the median age was 49 years (range, 12-88 years). Four hundred fifty-nine patients (56.9%) underwent surgery for benign conditions, and 348 (43.1%) underwent surgery for malignant disease. A total of 78 patients (9.7%) had a prolonged hospitalization. Independent predictors of prolonged hospitalization were age > 54 years (P < 0.0001), operative blood loss > 120 mL (P < 0.0001), intraoperative or postoperative blood transfusion (P = 0.0237), and early postoperative complication (P < 0.0001). Having a prior laparoscopy was associated with a shorter hospital stay (P = 0.0276). The risk score showed how changes in perioperative factors change the risk of prolonged hospitalization.Conclusion
Factors such as age, blood loss, perioperative blood transfusion, and postoperative complications are associated with prolonged length of stay after laparoscopic surgery, while having a prior laparoscopy is associated with a shorter hospital stay. A clinical scoring system can be used to estimate probability of prolonged hospitalization after gynecologic laparoscopic surgery. 相似文献14.

Objective
To compare the efficacy of rectally administered misoprostol with intravenous oxytocin infusion in preventing uterine atony and blood loss during cesarean delivery.Methods
In this prospective, randomized, double-blind trial, 200 women undergoing cesarean delivery who did not have risk factors for postpartum hemorrhage were randomly allocated to receive either 800 µg of rectal misoprostol at the time of peritoneal incision or an intravenous infusion of oxytocin after delivery of the neonate. Primary outcome measures were estimated amount of intraoperative and postoperative (8 hours) blood loss and changes in hemoglobin levels 24 hours after delivery.Results
A total of 96 and 94 women were analyzed in the misoprostol and oxytocin groups, respectively. Intraoperative and postoperative blood loss was significantly lower in the misoprostol group than in the oxytocin group (503 vs 592 mL, P = 0.003 and 74 vs 114 mL, P = 0.045, respectively). The incidence of shivering was higher in the misoprostol group (8.3% vs 1.1%, P = 0.018; RR 7.83; 95% confidence interval, 0.99-61.42).Conclusion
Rectal misoprostol appears to be an effective alternative to intravenous oxytocin in preventing blood loss for routine use during cesarean delivery. Clinical Trials Registration: CTRI/2009/091/000075. 相似文献15.

Objectives
The aim of this study was (i) to characterise differentially expressed proteins in cervico-vaginal fluid (CVF) at the time of preterm labour onset and (ii) to confirm these studies in human CVF samples taken from women before and during spontaneous labour.Study design
Preterm labour was induced in sheep (n = 5) via fetal dexamethasone infusion (1 mg/24 h). CVF samples were taken prior to dexamethasone infusion (0 h), 28 h after the start of dexamethasone infusion, and immediately prior to delivery. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and mass spectrometry (MS) were used to identify differentially expressed proteins. For the human studies, paired CVF samples were taken 5-9 days before labour and during spontaneous labour onset (n = 7).Results
There was a 4.2-fold increase in α-enolase protein expression in sheep CVF during labour. Likewise, α-enolase protein expression was significantly increased during spontaneous human labour at term.Conclusions
Alpha-enolase is known to be bound to neutrophils and interact in the immune response, and thus may play a role in inflammation associated with human labour. 相似文献16.

Objective
To compare the hormonal-metabolic profiles and reproductive outcomes in clomiphene-resistant patients with polycystic ovary syndrome and insulin resistance between women receiving metformin and those undergoing laparoscopic ovarian drilling.Methods
A total of 110 eligible participants were randomly allocated to diagnostic laparoscopy plus metformin therapy (group 1, n = 55) or laparoscopic ovarian drilling (group 2, n = 55). The t test was used for mean comparisons of hormonal-metabolic parameters and OGTT values before and after treatment. The χ2 test was used for comparisons of ovulation, pregnancy, and abortion rates.Results
Groups 1 and 2 showed a significant decline in testosterone, insulin-like growth factor-1 (P < 0.001 vs P < 0.001), and luteinizing hormone (P < 0.05 vs P < 0.001), while the glucose to insulin ratio was significantly increased (P < 0.001 vs P < 0.05) compared with baseline. Group 2 patients had more regular cycles and higher rates of ovulation and pregnancy compared with group 1: 76.4% [42/55] vs 58.2% [32/55], P < 0.04; 50.8% [131/258] vs 33.5% [94/281], P < 0.001; and 38.2% [21/55] vs 20.0% [11/55], P < 0.03, respectively. The difference in the early abortion rate between the groups was not statistically significant.Conclusion
Although metformin results in a better attenuation of insulin resistance, laparoscopic ovarian drilling is associated with higher rates of ovulation and pregnancy. 相似文献17.

Objective
Research suggests that the resectoscopic management of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) following cesarean section (CS) is safe and effective. There is, however, a lack of complementary data from routine clinical practice. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of resectoscopic remodeling of the CS scar in the management of post CS AUB (pCSAUB).Study design
The case notes of 57 women with pCSAUB who had undergone a resectoscopic remodeling procedure were reviewed retrospectively. Primary outcome measures were the duration of preoperative and postoperative menstruation, and postoperative menstrual change. Secondary outcome measures were the impact of patient-dependent variables on the success of the resectoscopic remodeling procedure. The CS scar was located using transvaginal ultrasonography and hysteroscopy. The remodeling procedure was performed with a hysteroscopic resectoscope, and commenced with resection of the fibromuscular scar. This started at the roof of the scar pouch and progressed towards the external os. It then continued along a line parallel to the axis of the cervical canal. The exposed dilated blood vessels and endometrial-like tissue in the roof of the remaining pouch were electrocauterized with a roller-ball electrode.Results
The mean operating time was 30.2 ± 6.6 min. There was a significant difference in the mean duration of preoperative and postoperative menstruation (12.9 ± 2.9 days and 9.4 ± 4.1 days, respectively; p < 0.001). However, only 59.6% of patients (34/57) reported a postoperative improvement in symptoms. A significant postoperative improvement was observed more frequently in patients with anteflexed uteri than in patients with retroflexed uteri, and this difference was significant (90.6% (29/32) and 20.0% (5/25), respectively; p < 0.001). No correlations were found between treatment outcome and age, body weight, parity, number of cesarean deliveries, duration of preoperative menstruation, or operating time.Conclusions
Resectoscopic uterine remodeling is an appropriate therapy in patients with pCSAUB and an anteflexed uterus. 相似文献18.

Objective
Uterine carcinosarcoma (CS) is a rare uterine tumor with an extremely poor prognosis. In the adjuvant setting, efficacy has been shown with radiotherapy (RT), systemic chemotherapy, or both. This is the first report describing the efficacy and toxicity of adjuvant ifosfamide or ifosfamide plus cisplatin “sandwiched” with RT in patients with surgically staged and completely resected uterine carcinosarcoma.Methods
Women with surgically staged CS with no gross residual disease were initially administered ifosfamide (1.2 g/m2/day × 5 days) with cisplatin (20 mg/m2/day × 5 days) every 3 weeks for 3 cycles followed by pelvic external beam RT and brachytherapy followed by 3 additional cycles of ifosfamide (1.0 g/m2/day) with cisplatin (20 mg/m2/day × 5 days) every 3 weeks. Similar to the GOG trial in recurrent CS (Sutton et al., 2000), the addition of cisplatin added toxicity without additional efficacy, so mid-study, the cisplatin was eliminated from the regimen. Toxicities were recorded and disease-free survival (DFS) was calculated with Kaplan-Meier statistical methods.Results
In total, 12 patients received ifosfamide and cisplatin and 15 patients received ifosfamide alone, both ‘sandwiched’ with RT. The median follow up was 35.9 months (range 6-88). The 2 year DFS was similar in both the ifosfamide/cisplatin and ifosfamide groups (log-rank p = 0.16), so they were combined for analysis. 19 patients (70%) completed the protocol. As expected, stage 1 patients had a better 2-year DFS (18.75 ± 1.12 months; log-rank p = 0.008 when compared to stages 2, 3, 4). Also, in stages 2, 3 and 4 patients, the DFS was 15.81 ± 1.73 months. Grade 3/4 neutropenia, anemia and thrombocytopenia occurred in 18%, 4% and 4% of cycles, respectively.Conclusions
Ifosfamide “sandwiched” with RT appears to be an efficacious regimen for surgically staged CS patients with no residual disease, even in patients with advanced stage. The addition of cisplatin to the regimen added toxicity without improving efficacy. Even with ifosfamide alone, the efficacy of this ‘sandwich’ regimen comes with a moderate but tolerable toxicity profile. 相似文献19.

Objective
To investigate the association of a specific polymorphism (S89N) in exon 3 of the urotensin II (UTS2) gene in pre-eclampsia.Study design
One hundred and forty-two subjects, 85 with a diagnosis of pre-eclampsia/eclampsia (group I) and 57 healthy pregnant subjects as a control group (group II), who had been admitted between January 2006 and December 2007, were included. All the subjects were tested for G to A transition in codon 266 in the urotensin II gene by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The distributions of genotypes and allele frequencies were compared between the groups.Results
Demographics such as age, gestational age, gravidity, abortion and parity were similar in both groups (p > 0.05). No statistically significant differences were observed between the groups concerning genotype distribution and allele frequency (p = 0.305, p = 0.326, respectively). The observed genotype counts did not deviate significantly from those expected according to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE).Conclusion
The results of this study suggest that UTS2 single gene (S89N) polymorphism is not associated with pre-eclampsia. Further studies are needed to investigate the prevalence of other single nucleotide gene polymorphisms in pre-eclampsia. 相似文献20.
