Evaluation of the effect of extra-amniotic normal saline infusion alone or in combination with dexamethasone for the induction of labor

AIM: To compare the effect of extra-amniotic normal saline solution infusion on its own, and in combination with dexamethasone on the ripening of the cervix and induction of labor. METHODS: A double-blind randomized clinical trial study was performed at Akbar Abadi Teaching Hospital in Tehran, Iran, between March 2002 and March 2003 on 84 pregnant women at a gestational age of 40 weeks or more, and with a Bishop score 相似文献   

4-Methylumbelliferone inhibits hyaluronate synthesis in human uterine cervical fibroblasts

AIM: Hyaluronate plays an important role in the regulation of cervical function during parturition. In our previous study we showed that 4-methylumbelliferone (MU) suppresses hyaluronate synthesis by cultured human skin fibroblasts. The present study investigated the effects of MU on fibroblasts obtained from the human uterine cervix and assessed the possibility of controlling cervical ripening with MU. METHODS: Human uterine cervical fibroblasts were collected from uterine cervices obtained from the uteri of three patients who had a total hysterectomy for uterine myoma at Hirosaki University Hospital. The fibroblasts were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium until confluence. They were then cultured in medium containing [3H]glucosamine (0.074 MBq/mL) with various MU doses. Hyaluronate synthesis was evaluated by assessing the incorporation of [3H]glucosamine into the soluble fraction of hyaluronate. Three independent studies were carried out on each specimen to clarify whether MU causes compositional changes or promotes hyaluronate degradation, whether the inhibitory effects of MU on hyaluronate synthesis are dose-dependent, and whether the effects of MU are reversible. RESULTS: MU added to the medium of the cultured cells reduced the synthesis of hyaluronate in a dose-dependent manner. After MU was removed from the medium, hyaluronate synthesis recommenced, and the amount of [3H]hyaluronate synthesized was similar to the control level. CONCLUSIONS: MU inhibits the synthesis of hyaluronate in human uterine cervical fibroblasts.     

局部晚期宫颈癌155例的综合治疗对照分析

目的:探讨影响局部晚期宫颈癌的预后因素及辅助化疗在子宫颈癌治疗中的价值。方法:2000年1月~2004年6月收治的ⅠB~ⅡB期宫颈癌患者共104例,接受手术及辅助放疗同时辅助化疗(A组),与1996年6月~1999年12月在汕头大学医学院附属肿瘤医院仅接受手术和辅助放疗的51例宫颈癌患者(B组)比较,分析其预后不良因素,并比较两组患者生存率情况。结果:两组例数相差较大,但差异无统计学意义。B组盆腔复发率、远处转移率均高于A组,P值分别为0.019和0.041。A组生存率高于B组,χ2=12.543,P=0.000。结论:根据患者预后不良因素,辅助化疗与手术、放疗结合的综合治疗能提高生存率,减少复发与转移。     

Willingness to Self-Collect a Sample for HPV-Based Cervical Cancer Screening in a Well-Screened Cohort: HPV FOCAL Survey Results

Self-collection may provide an opportunity for innovation within population-based human papillomavirus (HPV) cervical cancer screening programs by providing an alternative form of engagement for all individuals. The primary objective was to determine willingness to self-collect a vaginal sample for primary HPV screening and factors that impact willingness in individuals who participated in the Human Papillomavirus For Cervical Cancer (HPV FOCAL) screening trial, a large randomized controlled cervical screening trial. A cross-sectional online survey was distributed between 2017 and 2018 to 13,176 eligible participants exiting the FOCAL trial. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression assessed factors that influence willingness to self-collect on 4945 respondents. Overall, 52.1% of respondents indicated willingness to self-collect an HPV sample. In multivariable analysis, the odds of willingness to self-collect were significantly higher in participants who agreed that screening with an HPV test instead of a Pap test was acceptable to them (odds ratio (OR): 1.45 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.15, 1.82), those who indicated that collecting their own HPV sample was acceptable to them (p < 0.001), and those with higher educational ascertainment (OR: 1.31, 95% CI: 1.12, 1.54). The findings offer insight into the intentions to self-collect in those already engaged in screening, and can inform cervical cancer screening programs interested in offering alternative approaches to HPV-based screening.     

p53蛋白及细胞增殖指数与子宫颈鳞状细胞癌的关系

[目的]研究子宫颈鳞癌细胞增殖指数(PI)以及突变p53蛋白表达与组织病理学的关系.[方法]采用流式细胞术和免疫组化方法对44例子宫颈鳞癌组织及10例正常子宫颈上皮组织进行了研究.[结果]各临床分期及不同组织学分级的子宫颈鳞癌组织细胞增殖指数及突变p53蛋白阳性表达率均显著高于正常子宫颈上皮组织(P＜0.01),但在不同临床期别及不同组织学类型间无统计学差异(P＞0.05).[结论]子宫颈鳞状上皮癌组织的细胞增殖活性增加,突变p53蛋白表达增高,但与子宫颈鳞癌临床分期及恶性程度无关.     

子宫颈腺癌组织中癌胚抗原和甲胎蛋白的检测

采用免疫金银染色技术,对64例子宫颈腺癌组织进行了癌胚抗原(CEA)和甲胎蛋白(AFP)的免疫组化检测.结果表明,CEA和AFP的阳性率分别为75.00%和14.06%.不同分化程度组织间,CEA阳性率无显著性差异(P>0.05),但在不同组织学类型间,CEA阳性率差异有显著性意义(P<0.05).提示对子宫颈腺癌组织进行CEA检验,有助于其组织学分类.     

Perspectives on Pap Test Follow-Up Care Among Rural Appalachian Women

Approximately one- to three-quarters of women notified of abnormal Pap test results do not receive appropriate follow-up care, dramatically elevating their risk for invasive cervical cancer. We explored barriers to and facilitators of follow-up care for women in two counties in Appalachian Kentucky, where invasive cervical cancer incidence and mortality are significantly higher than the national average. In-depth interviews were conducted among 27 Appalachian women and seven local health department personnel. Those who had been told of an atypical Pap test result tended to have one of three reactions: (1) not alarmed and generally did not obtain follow-up care; (2) alarmed and obtained follow-up care; or (3) alarmed, but did not obtain care. Each of these typologies appeared to be shaped by a differing set of three categories of influences: personal factors; procedure/provider/system factors; and ecological/community factors. Recommendations to increase appropriate follow-up care included pursuing research on explanations for these typologies and developing tailored interventions specific to women in each of the response types.
