Utilization of endoscopic inoculation in a mouse model of intrauterine infection-induced preterm birth: role of interleukin 1beta. (1/394)

A novel murine model of intrauterine infection/inflammation-induced preterm birth based on direct endoscopic intracervical inoculation is described. Using this model, we investigated infection-induced premature pregnancy loss in normal and interleukin (IL) 1beta-deficient mice. Seventy-four CD-1, HS, C57BL/6J wild type (IL-1beta+/+), and C57BL/6J IL-1beta-deficient (IL-1beta-/-) mice were inoculated intracervically using a micro-endoscope, at a time corresponding to 70% of average gestation. Intracervical injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or Escherichia coli reliably induced premature birth: 100% of mice intracervically injected with LPS and 92% of mice with a positive endometrial E. coli culture delivered prematurely within 36 h after inoculation. No losses were observed in mice inoculated with saline. Pregnancy loss was associated with increased uterine tissue cyclooxygenase-2 gene expression and uterine content of IL-1beta, tumor necrosis factor alpha, macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha, and IL-6, as well as elevation of nuclear factor-kappaB activity in uterine tissues. Although IL-1beta-/- mice exhibited decreased uterine cytokine production in response to bacteria and LPS, IL-1beta deficiency did not affect the rate of pregnancy loss. This model using direct intracervical bacterial or LPS inoculation is useful for studying preterm pregnancy loss in genetically altered mice in order to develop novel interventions for infection-associated preterm labor.  (+info)

A murine model for the study of Chlamydia trachomatis genital infections during pregnancy. (2/394)

Pregnant BALB/c mice were inoculated intravaginally on day 5 of gestation with the Chlamydia trachomatis mouse pneumonitis biovar. Animals that received 10(5), 10(6), or 10(7) inclusion-forming units (IFU) of C. trachomatis delivered prematurely on days 15 to 16 of gestation. A focal inflammatory infiltrate was observed in the wall of the uterus on the day 14 of gestation in animals inoculated with 10(5) IFU. In this group of mice, immunohistochemical analysis showed chlamydial inclusions in the endometrium and fetal membranes.  (+info)

Problems related to the cervical stump at follow-up in laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy. (3/394)

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate our experience with laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LASH) and to assess the short- and medium-term outcome. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of patient and surgery characteristics from chart review and evaluation of patient satisfaction by a questionnaire. RESULTS: Forty-one patients who underwent LASH were studied with a mean length of follow-up of 27 months. Operative complications consisted of one bladder lesion and one bleeding at the trocar site. Postoperative complications were bladder atony (1), paralytic ileus (1), a pulmonary embolism (1) and vaginal hemorrhage from the colpotomy incision (1). Twenty-five percent of the patients continued to menstruate, and 10% had symptoms of discharge. Overall, 98% of the patients were satisfied with their operation. CONCLUSIONS: Although preservation of the cervix with laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign diseases was satisfactory in most of the cases, several women had complications of the remaining cervix. Special attention should be paid to the careful treatment of the cervical stump. Further prospective studies are needed to evaluate the advantages of retaining the cervix at laparoscopic hysterectomy.  (+info)

Hysteroscopic treatment of severe Asherman's syndrome and subsequent fertility. (4/394)

In a retrospective case report series, we evaluated the efficacy of hysteroscopic adhesiolysis in patients with severe Asherman's syndrome. In 31 patients with permanent severe adhesions, hysteroscopic treatment was performed. In all patients, uterine cavity with at least one free ostial area was restored after one (n = 16), two (n = 7), three (n = 7), and four (n = 1) surgical procedures. All previously amenorrhoeic patients (n = 16) had resumption of menses. Twenty-eight patients were followed-up with a mean time of 31 months (range 2-84). Fifteen pregnancies were obtained in 12 patients and the outcomes were the following: two first trimester missed abortions, three second trimester fetal losses, one second trimester termination of pregnancy for multiple fetal abnormalities and nine live births in nine different patients. Pregnancy rate after treatment was 12/28 (42.8%) and live birth rate was 9/28 (32.1%). In patients 35 years (P = 0. 01). Three patients were lost to follow-up and their results omitted. In nine patients with live births, one Caesarean hysterectomy for placenta accreta and one hypogastric arteries ligation for severe haemorrhage and placenta accreta were performed. Hysteroscopic treatment of severe Asherman's syndrome appeared to be effective for the reconstruction of a functional uterine cavity with a 42.8% pregnancy rate. However, these pregnancies were at risk for haemorrhage with abnormal placentation.  (+info)

Disparate actions of mifepristone (RU 486) on glands and stroma in the primate endometrium. (5/394)

Besides being an antiprogestin, mifepristone (RU 486) was recently shown to antagonize oestrogen-dependent growth in the endometrium. To explore the molecular mechanisms for this phenomenon, we investigated whether or not the morphological effects of mifepristone are mediated by the progesterone receptor (PR) and whether mifepristone has disparate effects on the glandular epithelium and stroma. Six groups of hypogonadal, oestrogen-primed cynomolgus monkeys were treated for 2 weeks with: vehicle only (group I); mifepristone (group II); mifepristone plus progesterone at 0.2 mg/kg (group III), 1.0 mg/kg (group IV) or 5.0 mg/kg (group V); and progesterone only (5.0 mg/kg) (group VI). Histomorphological evaluation showed strikingly compacted stroma in the mifepristone-exposed endometria (group II), which was partially reversible by additional progesterone treatment (groups III-V). Glandular proliferation (pseudostratification, glandular mitoses) in mifepristone-treated monkeys was not significantly different from that in vehicle (oestradiol)-treated monkeys, but was inhibited by progesterone-only treatment. Cells containing vacuoles were scarce in the mifepristone-exposed endometrium, but detected frequently in progesterone-exposed endometria, indicating the strong antisecretory effect of mifepristone on glands. We conclude that oestrogen-dependent oedema in the stroma is antagonized by mifepristone. The reversal of this effect by progesterone suggests a PR-mediated mechanism. In glands, mifepristone is antiprogestogenic, but not antioestrogenic. Thus, stromal cells may be the target of antiprogestin-induced inhibition of oedema and endometrial growth.  (+info)

Total corporal synechiae due to tuberculosis carry a very poor prognosis following hysteroscopic synechialysis. (6/394)

Twelve consecutive patients with total corporal synechiae due to tuberculosis were reviewed in terms of intrauterine adhesion re-formation rate following hysteroscopic surgery. All patients presented with secondary amenorrhoea and infertility. The diagnosis was based on a 'glove finger appearance' at hysterosalpingography and classical laparoscopic and tubal biopsy findings. Intrauterine synechiae re-formation was assessed by postoperative hysterosalpingograms performed 3-4 months after the procedure. The 12 patients underwent 15 attempts for hysteroscopic lysis of total corporal synechiae. Three perforations occurred and all were managed with laparoscopic extracorporal suturing. Ultimately, adequate uterine cavity was obtained in all cases. Total intracorporal synechiae recurred in all patients at control postoperative hysterosalpingograms. We conclude that total corporal synechiae caused by tuberculosis, unlike other causes, carry a poor prognosis following hysteroscopic lysis. Surrogacy may be the only option for fertility in such couples.  (+info)

Hydrometrocolpos and polydactyly: a common neonatal presentation of Bardet-Biedl and McKusick-Kaufman syndromes. (7/394)

McKusick-Kaufman syndrome (MKKS) is a rare, recessively inherited syndrome reported mainly in young children and is characterised by vaginal atresia with hydrometrocolpos, postaxial polydactyly, and congenital heart defect. Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is the generic name for a genetically heterogeneous group of autosomal recessive disorders characterised by retinal dystrophy or retinitis pigmentosa (appearing usually between 10 and 20 years of age), postaxial polydactyly, obesity, nephropathy, and mental disturbances, or, occasionally, mental retardation. Typically, MKKS is diagnosed (and reported) in very young children, whereas the diagnosis of BBS often is delayed to the teenage years. We report here a series of nine patients diagnosed in infancy with MKKS because of the presence of vaginal atresia and postaxial polydactyly, who later developed obesity and retinal dystrophy, thus turning out to be instances of BBS. The overlap of BBS and MKKS is a real diagnostic pitfall and its importance has to be stressed, for genetic counselling, for clinical management and follow up, and for molecular approaches. The diagnosis of MKKS should be considered with caution in all published cases described exclusively in the neonatal period and in those with mental retardation. We strongly recommend all children seen in infancy with a diagnosis of MKKS to be re-evaluated for RP and other signs of BBS.  (+info)

Total laparoscopic hysterectomy using the harmonic scalpel. (8/394)

Total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) is the complete hysterectomy including transection of the uterine vessels and opening/closure of the vaginal vault performed laparoscopically. This procedure can be performed as an alternative to total abdominal hysterectomy in many cases. We previously found use of the harmonic scalpel to be extremely helpful in performing laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomies. In this series, the harmonic scalpel was used to facilitate performing TLH. Our experience has shown this can be performed without major complications in a cost-effective manner.  (+info)

Uterine diseases refer to a range of medical conditions that affect the uterus, which is the reproductive organ in females where fetal development occurs. These diseases can be categorized into structural abnormalities, infectious diseases, and functional disorders. Here are some examples:

1. Structural abnormalities: These include congenital malformations such as septate uterus or bicornuate uterus, as well as acquired conditions like endometrial polyps, fibroids (benign tumors of the muscular wall), and adenomyosis (where the endometrial tissue grows into the muscular wall).

2. Infectious diseases: The uterus can be affected by various infections, including bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic agents. Examples include pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), tuberculosis, and candidiasis.

3. Functional disorders: These are conditions that affect the normal functioning of the uterus without any apparent structural abnormalities or infections. Examples include dysmenorrhea (painful periods), menorrhagia (heavy periods), and endometriosis (where the endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus).

4. Malignant diseases: Uterine cancer, including endometrial cancer and cervical cancer, are significant health concerns for women.

5. Other conditions: Miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, and infertility can also be considered as uterine diseases since they involve the abnormal functioning or structural issues of the uterus.

Bovine Herpesvirus 4 (BoHV-4) is a type of herpesvirus that primarily infects cattle. It belongs to the family Herpesviridae and subfamily Gammaherpesvirinae. This virus is closely related to human Herpesvirus 8, which is associated with certain types of cancer in humans. BoHV-4 has been found to have a wide range of biological activities, including immunomodulation, and it has been studied as a potential vector for gene therapy due to its ability to establish latency and undergo reactivation from latency. However, it is not typically associated with any specific disease symptoms in cattle.

Endometritis is a medical condition that refers to the inflammation of the endometrium, which is the innermost layer of the uterus. It is often caused by infections, such as bacterial or fungal infections, that enter the uterus through various routes, including childbirth, miscarriage, or surgical procedures.

The symptoms of endometritis may include abnormal vaginal discharge, pelvic pain, fever, and abdominal cramping. In severe cases, it can lead to complications such as infertility, ectopic pregnancy, or sepsis. Treatment typically involves the use of antibiotics to clear the infection, as well as supportive care to manage symptoms and promote healing.

It is important to seek medical attention if you experience any symptoms of endometritis, as prompt treatment can help prevent complications and improve outcomes.

Puerperal infection, also known as childbed fever or postpartum infection, is a healthcare-associated infection that can occur in women following childbirth, miscarriage, or abortion. It's typically caused by bacteria that enter the reproductive system during these processes and can lead to inflammation and infection of the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, or other pelvic organs.

The most common causative agents are Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A streptococcus), Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli. Symptoms of puerperal infection can include fever, abdominal pain, foul-smelling vaginal discharge, and painful urination. If left untreated, the infection can lead to serious complications such as sepsis, infertility, or even death.

Prompt diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics are crucial for managing puerperal infections and preventing complications. Good hygiene practices and proper sterilization of medical equipment can also help reduce the risk of developing this infection.
