A prospective randomized,double-blinded,placebo-controlled trial comparing mifepristone and vaginal misoprostol to vaginal misoprostol alone for elective termination of early pregnancy

BACKGROUND: Vaginal misoprostol has been shown to be an effective single agent for medical abortion. This randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial compared a regimen of mifepristone and misoprostol with misoprostol alone for termination of early pregnancy. METHODS: 250 women with gestations < or = 56 days were randomized by a random number table to receive either 200 mg mifepristone orally or placebo followed 48 h later by 800 microg vaginal misoprostol. Administration of misoprostol was repeated every 24 h up to three doses if abortion failed to occur. Abortion success was defined as complete abortion without the use of surgical aspiration. RESULTS: Successful medical abortions occurred in 114 out of 119 subjects (95.7%) after mifepristone followed by vaginal misoprostol. In all, 110 out of 125 subjects (88.0%) successfully aborted after placebo and vaginal misoprostol. The higher success rate of complete abortion with the mifepristone and misoprostol regimen was statistically significant compared with the placebo and misoprostol regimen (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: A regimen of mifepristone and misoprostol was significantly more effective for termination of pregnancies < or = 56 days than misoprostol alone. The 88% efficacy obtained with vaginal misoprostol alone may be clinically acceptable when mifepristone is not available.     

自身免疫型习惯性流产的临床治疗

目的探讨三种不同方法治疗自身免疫型习惯性流产的临床效果。方法选取78例确诊为自身免疫异常引起的习惯性流产患者，分为4组，1为阿司匹林＋泼尼松组（22例），2为阿司匹林＋肝素组（18例），3为静丙组（20例），4为对照组（18例），不接受任何治疗，用卡方检验比较各组妊娠成功率。结果1、2、3组与对照组分别比较，差异均有统计学意义（P〈0．05），但3种治疗方法之间无显著差异（P〉0．05）；1组出现了胎膜早破、妊娠期高血压疾病等妊娠合并症，2组出现了早产和消化道出血，但各组发生率无统计学差异（P〉0．05）。结论传统的激素、抗凝剂和被动免疫疗法均有一定疗效，但三者之间疗效无差异。     

超声影像学与分子生物学在复发性自然流产的联合应用

不孕及反复流产患者血清抗心磷脂抗体的检测

目的检测不孕及反复流产患者血清中的抗心磷脂抗体(ACA),探讨ACA的临床意义.方法应用酶联免疫吸附(ELISA)法检测105例原发或继发不孕患者(不孕组)、171例反复流产或有胚胎停育史患者(流产组)及40例正常对照组血清中的IgG、IgM及IgA-ACA 3种抗体.结果不孕组ACA总阳性率为44.76%,流产组为35.09%,均显著高于对照组(P＜0,01).不孕组及流产组的单纯IgG阳性率亦明显高于对照组(P＜0.05);而两组的单纯IgM阳性率与对照组相比,差异均无显著性意义(P＞0.05).结论ACA是导致不孕及反复流产的免疫学因素之一,IgG型的ACA比IgM型的更具临床意义     

Divergence of natural killer cell receptor and related molecule in the decidua from sporadic miscarriage with normal chromosome karyotype

The aim of this cohort study was to investigate immunophenotypic characteristics of natural killer (NK) cells by assessing specific molecules expressed in the decidua of sporadic miscarriages and induced abortions. The deciduae were obtained from 29 consecutively seen women whose pregnancies ended in first trimester miscarriages (MS), and the fetal chromosome karyotype of these MS was analysed. Additionally, 13 deciduae were obtained from induced abortion (IA) with informed consent. The expression of perforin, CD94, CD161, CD158a, CD158b, CD244 on CD3-CD56+NK cells, and perforin on CD3+CD8+ T cells was analysed by flow cytometry. The CD158a (mean+/-SD, 26.2+/-14.7%) and CD94 (50.2+/-25.7%) expressions in MS with normal chromosome karyotype (MSNK; n=11) were significantly decreased as compared with those (41.5+/-19.5%, 71.4+/-20.4%) in MS with abnormal karyotype (MSAK; n=18) and those (44.3+/-21.9%, 80.8+/-17.5%) in IA (n=13). Conversely, the perforin expression on CD3-CD8-CD56+NK cells (76.3+/-11.0%) and CD3+CD8+T cells (30.6+/-9.2%) in MSNK was significantly increased as compared with those (66.8+/-16.6%, 23.6+/-8.7%) in MSAK and those (62.9+/-11.6%, 19.7+/-8.1%) in IA. A positive correlation between CD94 and CD158a expressions on NK cells, negative correlations between CD94 on NK cells and perforin on NK cells/T cells, and between CD158a on NK cells and perforin on T cells were found in the decidua. A divergence of NK cell repertoire in the decidua might be related to aetiology of sporadic MSNK.     

An Animal Model for the Study of the Function of Pregnancy-Specific Beta1 Glycoprotein and Pregnancy Zone Protein: A Review*

ABSTRACT: Two pregnancy-associated murine proteins, PAMP-1 and PAMP-2, have been found to be immunologically cross-reacting analogues to the human proteins pregnancy zone protein (PZP) and pregnancy-specific beta₁-glycoprotien (SP-1), respectively. In this study, the physiochemical and biological properties of the proteins are compared and the effect on pregnancy of administration of monospecific antibodies against the proteins is reported.     

An effective regimen for early medical abortion: a report of 2000 consecutive cases

A combination of the anti-progesterone mifepristone and gemeprostprovides an effective non-surgical method for the inductionof abortion at gestations up to 63 days, achieving completeabortion rates of over 95%. We report our experience with analternate regimen, comprising a reduced dose of mifepristonein combination with vaginal misoprostol. A consecutive seriesof 2000 women requesting early medical abortion at gestationsup to 63 days was studied retrospectively. Each woman receivedmifepristone 200 mg orally, followed 36–48 h later bymisoprostol 800 µg vaginally. Of the 2000 women, 39 (2.0%)aborted completely following administration of mifepristonealone and a further 1912 experienced complete abortion followingadministration of misoprostol (a complete abortion rate of 97.5%).Surgical intervention was required in 49 women (2.5%): for incompleteabortion in 27 (1.4%), for missed abortion in seven (0.4%),for continuing pregnancy in 11 (0.6%) and to exclude ectopicpregnancy in four (0.2%). The surgical intervention rate wassignificantly higher among women at gestations 49 days thanamong those at 49 days (3.3 versus 1.5%, P = 0.0193). The regimenappears as effective, in terms of high complete abortion rateand low continuing pregnancy rate, as any published alternative.This regimen has the benefit of being less costly as the doseof mifepristone is 67% lower and misoprostol is substantiallyless expensive than gemeprost. Additionally, misoprostol doesnot require special transport or storage requirements. As such,the combination of mifepristone and gemeprost.     

Anti-idiotypic IgM antibodies to anti-HLA class I antibodies in habitual abortion.

In order to investigate the role of the idiotypic network in miscarriages, sera from 28 habitually aborting women undergoing paternal leukocyte immunization were studied for the presence of HLA antibodies and related anti-idiotypes. Sixty-eight percent of sera from preimmunized patients which did not contain anti-lymphocyte antibodies inhibited the activity of antibodies to the HLA class I antigens expressed by the spouse. This inhibitory activity could be assigned to IgM antibodies, which cross-inhibit antibodies of similar specificity. This suggests that they are anti-idiotypes for the binding site of HLA antibodies. Immune sera of successfully treated patients exhibited both cytotoxic IgG anti-HLA antibodies and inhibitory IgM anti-idiotypic antibodies. A possible role for an intact idiotypic network in maintaining pregnancy is suggested.
