The use of misoprostol in cervical ripening and induction of labour in the term pregnancy
… (Cytotec) with prostaglandin E2 (prandin gel) in cervical ripening and induction of labour at term. STUDY DESIGN: Two independent studies were performed. The first was to evaluate misoprostol as a cervical ripening agent when compared to prandin gel and the second to compare their ability to …

The relationship between nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and cyclooxygenase (COX) in the control of cervical ripening and parturition
… between iNOS and COX-2 in the control of cervical ripening and parturition. Cervices were obtained from estrus and timed pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 4-10 per group) under normal conditions; or after treating with LPS (100ƒÝg i.p.), Onapristone (3mg/rat), progesterone (2.5 mg, twice …

Identification of Apoptotic Regulators in the Cervix of Pregnant Mice in Association with Cervical Softening
… the expression of apotosis, its relation with cervical ripening, and identify the apoptotic regulators in the cervix of pregnant mice. Pregnant mice(Albino ICR)were studied(control[non-pregnant], 2 days, 7 days, 15 days, 18 days after pregnancy, postpartum 2 days). Expression of apoptosis and …

Biomechanical properties of engineered collagen scaffolds
… which can be compared with those of non-pregnant cervical tissue to indicate the early onset of cervical ripening.

Electrical impedance measurements of the uterine cervix in pregnancy
… the anterior and posterior lips of the external cervical os. 4. A positive correlation between the resistivity measurements and gestational age using the 5.5mm probe. No significant correlations were identified between resistivity readings and both parity and maternal age. 5. A statistically …

Dynamic Changes in Collagen Organization Modulate Cervical Remodeling During Pregnancy and Parturtion: New Insights and the Potential for Improved Clinical Tools to Combat Preterm Birth
… The focus of this study was to identify how cervical collagen is reorganized throughout pregnancy to allow the cervix to become compliant for parturition. Beginning early in pregnancy a reduction in cervical collagen cross-links as well as a decline in matricellular proteins contribute to the …

Inflammatory response in maternal serum during preterm labour
… uterine contractions, membrane rupture and cervical ripening. Most intra-uterine infections are chronic and subclinical in nature and consequently hard to diagnose before labour or rupture of the membranes. A tremendous amount of efforts has been expended to identify markers to predict PTB …
