{"title":"[Prolonged pregnancy--prostaglandins as the cause of labor onset].","authors":"W Rath","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"The causes of prolonged pregnancy are still largely unknown and their investigation requires a detailed observation of potential birth-initiating stimuli on the endocrine and biomolecular level. A large number of clinical and biochemical studies point to the central importance of prostaglandins for the beginning of human birth. The main places of origin of the intensified prostaglandin formation and release are the amnion and the decidua which has \"macrophage-like\" properties and functions. The superordinate regulation and trigger mechanisms for intensified uterine prostaglandin production has not been sufficiently investigated either. Possible factors currently being debated include local changes in estrogen and progesterone biosynthesis in fetal membranes and decidua, subclinical inflammatory reactions with the activation of macrophages and the consecutive release of cytokines, and a loss of maternal immune tolerance with a time-determined rejection reaction. In addition, the substances inhibiting and stimulating prostaglandin synthesis have been detected in the amniotic fluid, fetal membranes and decidua. The fetus itself also plays an important part in the initiation of labor. Prolongation may be due to anatomic functional disturbances of the one hand which prevent the activation of the fetal hypothalamic-hypophyseal-adrenal axis and the release of the birth-initiating stimuli originating in the fetus; on the other hand, an elevated immune tolerance with a delayed rejection reaction or the lack of \"bacterial stimulus\" may inhibit the activation of the macrophages and hence the formation of cytokines. The consequences would be the development and release of a quantity of prostaglandins from the fetal membranes and decidua insufficient to overcome the pregnancy-maintaining safety systems.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)","PeriodicalId":23919,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift fur Geburtshilfe und Perinatologie","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18719568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"[Biochemical principles of cervix ripening and dilatation].","authors":"W Rath, R Osmers, H W Stuhlsatz, B C Adelmann-Grill","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"The central function of the cervix to maintain pregnancy is biochemically characterized by an increased synthesis of collagen, proteins, glycosaminoglycans (GAG) and fibronectin within the extracellular matrix, thus leading to an increase of cervical volume without significant changes of cervical consistency. During the time of cervical ripening we found a marked reduction of collagen concentration, a 2.5-fold increase in GAG content, a significant fall in dermatan sulfate concentrations from 41% to 15% of total GAG content, a 12-fold increase in hyaluronate concentrations, and a marked reduction in fibronectin, demonstrated by immunhistochemical methods. Thus, the loss of collagen and sulfated GAGs may facilitate distensibility in the ripened cervix, while the significant gain in hyaluronate associated with hydratation may explain the soft and swollen consistency. In this connection increased hyaluronate concentrations and degradation of fibronectin may play a trigger role for subsequent cervical dilatation. The dramatic changes of the cervix during parturition occurring within a few hours require the rapid activation and action of catabolic enzyme systems. Our studies showed a significant increase of sialidase-, collagenase- and elastase activities during cervical dilatation. These proteinases originate from polymorphonuclear leucocytes (pml), which accumulate in cervical capillaries at the onset of labor; this is followed by a massive leucocyte infiltration of the cervical stroma at the beginning of cervical dilatation and a degranulation of the pml at further dilatation, thus releasing collagenase and other proteinases. This process is limited by the immediate post partum insudation of the cervix by plasma containing highly potent proteinase inhibitors. The clinical aim of our basic biochemical studies is to develop new concepts in the causal treatment of cervical pathology during pregnancy.","PeriodicalId":23919,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift fur Geburtshilfe und Perinatologie","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18718966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
