Coagulation and fibrinolysis in intact hydatidiform molar pregnancy. (1/1969)

Tests of coagulation, fibrinolysis, and platelet function were performed in 17 patients with intact molar pregnancies. Women with intact molar pregnancies had higher fibrinogen factor VIII, and fibrinogen degradation products, concentrations and lower prothrombin, factor X, plasminogen, and plasminogen activator concentrations than controls with normal pregnancies. They also had reduced platelet counts and thromboelastographic values, which indicated hypocoagulability. These results suggest that intravascular coagulation occurs in intact hydatidiform molar pregnancies.  (+info)

The ultrastructure of fibromyomatous myometrium and its relationship to infertility. (2/1969)

The aim of this study was to determine whether the ultrastructure of the non-neoplastic myometrial portion (host myometrium) of fibromyomatous uteri is normal or abnormal when compared to that of fibromyomata and normal myometria. Myometrial samples from 23 normal and 54 fibromyomatous uteri were examined at the ultrastructural level using standard electron microscopy techniques. Ultrastructural abnormalities of certain cellular organelles were noted in myocytes of fibromyomata but not in those of normal or host myometria. The sarcolemmal dense bands of host myometrial myocytes were of significantly greater length than those of normal myometria, but not significantly different to those of fibromyomata. Consequently, the numbers of caveolae in host myometria and fibromyomata are conceivably decreased in comparison to normal myometria. Host myometria can be, therefore, considered to be structurally abnormal. The specific structural abnormality noted may affect calcium metabolism in these tissues by causing a decrease in the cellular calcium extrusion mechanism and thus raising intracellular calcium concentrations. Such an abnormality may provide an answer, in terms of contraction abnormalities, for the unexplained infertility that occurs in a small percentage of symptomatic myomatous patients.  (+info)

Oxytocin and vasopressin receptors in human and uterine myomas during menstrual cycle and early pregnancy. (3/1969)

The purpose of this study was to determine the specificity and concentration of oxytocin (OT) and arginine vasopressin (AVP) binding sites in non-pregnant (NP) human and rhesus monkey endometrium, myometrium and fibromyomas, and to determine the cellular localization of OT receptor (OTR). Besides [3H]AVP, [125I]LVA, a specific VP1 receptor subtype antagonist, was used to determine vasopressin receptor (VPR) concentrations. Samples were obtained from 42 pre-menopausal and three pregnant women (5, 13 and 35 weeks gestation), and several NP and pregnant monkeys. Specificity of binding was assessed in competition experiments with unlabelled agonists and antagonists of known pharmacological potency. Cellular localization of OTR was determined by immunohistochemistry. In NP human uterine tissues, [3H]AVP was bound with higher affinity and greater binding capacity than [3H]OT, whereas in pregnant women and in NP and pregnant rhesus monkeys, uterine OT binding capacity was greater. OT and AVP binding sites discriminated very poorly between OT and AVP; [125I]LVA binding sites were more selective than [3H]AVP. Their ligand specificity and binding kinetics indicated the presence of two distinct populations of binding sites for OT and AVP in primate uterus. Endometrium of NP women and monkeys had low OTR and VPR concentrations. Myometrial and endometrial OTR and VPR were down-regulated in midcycle and in early human pregnancy, they were up-regulated in the secretory phase and second half of pregnancy. Immunoreactive OTR in NP uterus was localized in patches of myometrial muscle cells and small numbers of endometrial epithelial cells.  (+info)

Adenosquamous carcinoma of the endometrium. (4/1969)

An adenosquamous carcinoma of the endometrium is one which contains both malignant glandular and malignant squamous components; such tumours are considered rare in Britain but are thought to account for nearly one-third of all endometrial neoplasms in the United States. A survey of 675 cases of endometrial cancer seen during the period 1956-75 showed that the incidence of adenosquamous carcinoma was 5%, an incidence that remained static during this 20-year period. The principal difficulties encountered in the diagnosis of these neoplasms are in identifying the squamous component as such and in differentiating it from benign metaplastic squamous epithelium. The prognosis for patients with an endometrial adenosquamous carcinoma is very much worse than for women with a pure adenocarcinoma, and because these neoplasms are often wrongly identified it is possible that the currently accepted prognoses for both pure adenocarcinoma and adenoacanthoma of the endometrium may have to be revised. There appears to be a true variation in the incidence of this neoplasm between Britain and the United States.  (+info)

Heparin inhibits proliferation of myometrial and leiomyomal smooth muscle cells through the induction of alpha-smooth muscle actin, calponin h1 and p27. (5/1969)

Mast cells are widely distributed in human tissues, including the human uterus. However, the function of mast cells in uterine smooth muscle has not been clearly established. Mast cells possess secretory granules containing such substances as heparin, serotonin, histamine and many cytokines. To help establish the role of mast cells in the human myometrium, the action of heparin was investigated using smooth muscle cells (SMC) from normal myometrium and from leiomyoma. The proliferation of cultured myometrial and leiomyomal SMC was inhibited by heparin treatment. Flow cytometric analysis showed that the population in the G1 phase of the cell cycle increased under heparin treatment. Western blotting analysis showed that markers of SMC differentiation such as alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA), calponin h1 and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27 were induced by heparin, whereas cell-cycle-related gene products from the G1 phase of the cell cycle, such as cyclin E and cdk2, were not changed. Taken together, these results indicate that heparin inhibits the proliferation of myometrial and leiomyomal SMC through the induction of alpha-SMA, calponin h1 and p27. We suggest that heparin from mast cells may induce differentiation in uterine SMC and may influence tissue remodelling and reconstruction during physiological and pathophysiological events.  (+info)

CD9 is involved in invasion of human trophoblast-like choriocarcinoma cell line, BeWo cells. (6/1969)

The CD9 molecule is expressed on human extravillous trophoblasts, which invade the endometrium during implantation and placentation. To elucidate the role of CD9 in trophoblastic function, we investigated the expression of CD9 protein and mRNA in BeWo cells, a human trophoblast-like choriocarcinoma cell line, using immunohistochemistry, Western blotting and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). When BeWo cells were cultured with anti-CD9 monoclonal antibodies (mAb), their invasion through the extracellular matrices was significantly enhanced in a dose-dependent manner. Cell proliferation and human chorionic gonadotrophin production were unaffected. On the other hand, culture in the presence of mAb against integrins alpha3, alpha5 and beta1, which partially block the interaction with the extracellular matrices, inhibited BeWo cell invasion. Anti-CD9 monoclonal antibody had a stimulatory effect on BeWo cell invasion in the presence of anti-integrin alpha3 antibody. In contrast, it had no effect in the presence of mAb against integrins alpha5 and beta1, which were also highly expressed on BeWo cells. These findings suggest that CD9 has a function connected with the invasive properties of BeWo cells, which is partially mediated by integrin alpha5beta1. This may relate to the involvement of CD9 in trophoblastic invasion.  (+info)

Genetic mapping of a maternal locus responsible for familial hydatidiform moles. (7/1969)

Hydatidiform mole (HM) is the product of an aberrant human pregnancy in which there is an abnormal embryonic development and proliferation of placental villi. The incidence of HM varies between ethnic groups, and occurs in 1 in every 1500 pregnancies in the USA. All HM cases are sporadic, except for extremely rare familial cases. The exact mechanisms leading to molar pregnancies are unknown. We previously postulated that women with recurrent hydatidiform moles are homozygous for an autosomal recessive defective gene. To map this gene genetically, we initiated a genome-wide scan with highly polymorphic short tandem repeats in individuals from two families with recurrent HM. Here, we demonstrate that a defective maternal gene is responsible for recurrent HM. This gene resides on chromosome 19q13.3-13.4 in a 15.2 cM interval flanked by D19S924 and D19S890. The identification of a gene for HM adds new insights into the molecular genetics of early embryogenesis and may be relevant to the large number of patients with sporadic HM.  (+info)

Ubiquitous induction of p53 in tumor cells by antisense inhibition of MDM2 expression. (8/1969)

BACKGROUND: The MDM2 oncogene functions as a negative feedback regulator of the p53 tumor suppressor. Abnormal expression of MDM2 in tumors may attenuate the p53-mediated growth arrest and apoptosis response, resulting in increased cell proliferation and resistance to chemotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We have developed phosphorothioate antisense oligodeoxynucleotides optimized for inhibition of MDM2 expression and investigated the role of MDM2 in a large panel of tumor cell lines. RESULTS: Inhibition of MDM2 expression in 15 tumor types containing wild-type p53 results in a significant induction of nuclear p53 accumulation. The increase in p53 level is due to prolonged half-life and is associated with an increase in p53 transcriptional activity, growth inhibition, or apoptosis. Inhibition of MDM2 expression is also sufficient to induce nuclear p53 accumulation in several cell lines with cytoplasmic p53. CONCLUSIONS: The MDM2 negative feedback loop is important for maintenance of p53 at a low level by promoting p53 degradation. Nuclear export and degradation by MDM2 may contribute to the p53 nuclear exclusion phenotype. Inhibition of MDM2 expression can effectively activate p53 in most tumor types, including those without MDM2 overexpression, and may have broad anti-tumor potential.  (+info)

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) or integrated PET/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) with 18F-Fluoro-Deoxy-Glucose (18F-FDG) is a functional imaging modality, useful in the characterization of undetermined morphological findings, and in the staging/re-staging of a large number of malignancies. Although its use in uterine malignancies has been poorly investigated, in recent years the employment of this technique has constantly increased. In this review, we evaluate the role of PET (/CT) with 18FFDG in uterine malignancies (cervical and endometrial cancers as well as uterine sarcomas), underlying its advantages and discussing its limitations. Metabolic and anatomic information given by PET/CT with 18F-FDG could be useful in the evaluation of local and distant disease involvement at the staging, in the detection of disease recurrence, and in the evaluation of the response after chemotherapy and/or radio-therapy.
10 mitosis per high power field. In contrast a uterine leiomyoma as a benign lesion would have < 5 mitosis per high power field. Therapy is based on staging and patient condition and utilizes one or more of the following approaches. Surgery is the mainstay of therapy if feasible involving total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Other approaches include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and hormonal therapy. Prognosis is relatively poor. Uterine sarcoma are rare, out of all malignancies of the uterine body only about 4% will be uterine sarcomas. Generally, the cause of the lesion is not known, however patients with a history of pelvic radiation are at higher risk. Most tumors occur after menopause.

This research analyzed other 36 studies and overall it involved 143.019 women coming from high-income countries. The data in the study is from between 1965 and 2014. The findings indicate that the risk of uterine cancer was reduced in the case of women who took oral contraceptives for an extended period of time.. Hormonal birth control reduces the risk of uterine cancer by 25-50 percent. A woman who has never taken oral contraceptives has 2 to 3 percent chances of developing uterine cancer before she turns 75 years. A woman who takes birth-control pills for five years has 1.7 percent lower risk of developing uterine cancer. The risk drops to 1.3 percent after ten years of using oral contraceptives and after 15 years the risk is of only 1 percent.. The study also indicates that the protective effect against cancer which contraceptives have lasts for at least 30 years even after the woman has stopped taking them. It was also observed that the reduced risk of cancer varied according to the type of ...

If uterine cancer is diagnosed, your doctor needs to learn the extent (stage) of the disease to help you choose the best treatment. The stage is based on whether the cancer has invaded nearby tissues or spread to other parts of the body.. When cancer spreads from its original place to another part of the body, the new tumor has the same kind of abnormal cells and the same name as the primary (original) tumor. For example, if uterine cancer spreads to the lung, the cancer cells in the lung are actually uterine cancer cells. The disease is metastatic uterine cancer, not lung cancer. Its treated as uterine cancer, not as lung cancer. Doctors sometimes call the new tumor distant disease.. To learn whether uterine cancer has spread, your doctor may order one or more tests:. ...
The uterus is the female reproductive organ where the unborn baby grows and develops until birth. This muscular organ is connected to the vagina by the cervix and contains entrances for the two fallopian tubes, which transfer eggs from the ovaries. The uterus is a highly hormone sensitive organ with monthly bleeding and shedding cycles (menstruation) in the absence of pregnancy. The growth of the most common uterine cancer, adenocarcinoma, is also sensitive to female hormones. Uterine cancer usually arises from the surface of the uterus or endometrium and less frequently from glands in the uterus. For most women, uterine cancer is brought to medical attention because of unanticipated or problematic bleeding from the uterus, usually occurring after menopause. Fortunately, 80% of women diagnosed after developing abnormal bleeding will have cancer limited to the uterus (stage I and II) and a high proportion are cured..

Adding the monoclonal antibody drug trastuzumab-already used to treat certain breast cancers-to the chemotherapy regimen of women with a rare form of uterine cancer lengthens the amount of time their tumors are kept from growing, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers conducting a small phase II trial of the regimen, testing its safety and value.. The results of the trial, published online ahead of print on March 27 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, show that the drug extended the length of time to tumor progression by four to eight months in the seven-year trial. The researchers say this may lead to new national guidelines for treating this cancer subtype, known as uterine serous carcinoma.

Uterine cervical cancer is the second most common female malignancy. Therapy monitoring is essential to detect early recurrence. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging is an emerging MRI imaging technique which has a potential value for the detection of primary and recurrent disease and for the assessment of response to therapy. The purpose of this project is to evaluate the predictive value of DWI during and after therapy in the prediction of recurrence of cervical uterine cancer. It will be considered whether DWI is able to provide early information about the response to therapy. This could enable the identification of less- or non-responsive tumors and in this way therapy can be adapted as soon as possible. Hence the investigators could offer the patient a more efficient treatment scheme and a reduction in toxicity related to the treatment could be established ...

Uterine Cancer which is also known as Endometrial Cancer is characterized by the irregular growth of cells in the Uterus. The uterus, or womb, is the place where a baby grows when a woman is pregnant.
Hi, Alida!. I am 66 and have been dealing with this crud for 10 years now. in 2004 I was diagnosed with uterine cancer and had a hysterectomy with the removal of the ovaries at the same time. Before the surgery, the gynecological oncologist thought it was probably Stage 1C. Ended up being IIIC. We immdeiately did 8 sessions of adriamyicin/cisplatin. Only real problem I had was it lowered the magnesium in my system so low that 10 days after the treatment, Id end up getting a 4 hour transfusion of the magnewium. Seemed to work great.. In 2008, like some of the others on the forum, ended up going to the emergency room for bronchitis. Could tell from the reactions to the X-rays that something else might be going on. 3 days later got a letter suggesting that I contact my oncologist. We decided to just watch the nodule with CT Scans every 3 months. Worked fine - wasnt seeing any growth until 2010, when it tripled in size between two scans. We decided to try targeted radiation since the nodule is ...

New drug combinations in development offer hope to women who are looking for HRT alternatives. A class of drugs known as SERMS of which Evista is a member, used in combination with estrogen has shown promising results in clinical studies. A SERM will protect against the uterine cancer causing effect of estrogen so progesterone is no longer needed with HRT. This immediately reduces many of the undesirable effects of HRT found in the WHI including breast cancer risk and producing better cholesterol effects. This combination of drugs is referred to as a tissue-selective estrogen complex (TSEC). Other advantages of TSEC treatment are improvement in bone density (lower osteoporosis risk) and possible reduction in coronary artery disease development. Although TSEC treatment is not yet FDA approved for treatment of post-menopausal symptoms, individual doctors can prescribe this if they feel the available information is favorable and the risk/benefit ratio is in favor of the patients well being ...

Breast metastasis from extra-mammary malignancy is rare, constituting 2% of breast tumors. Uterine leiomyosarcoma is a rare soft tissue neoplasm comprising 1% of all uterine malignancies. This report presents the first case of uterine leiomyosarcoma metastasis of the breast. A 44-year-old woman, G4P3AA1, presented with a one-week history of painless bilateral breast lumps. Twelve years previously she had undergone a right salpingo-oophorectomy and hysterectomy for uterine leiomyosarcoma. An excisional biopsy of the breast nodule was performed, and the histopathological study revealed the nodule was composed of spindle cells, typical of breast metastasis with uterine leiomyosarcoma found in the immunohistochemical study. The patient was healthy and symptom free during the 12 month post-operative follow-up period.

We earlier reported that LMP2-null mice spontaneously develop uterine LMS through malignant transformation of the myometrium, thus implicating this protein as an anti-tumorigenic candidate as well. In the present study, we show that LMP2 may negatively regulate LMS independently of its role in the proteasome. Moreover, several lines of evidence indicate that ...

Uterine leiomyomas, or fibroids, are extremely common tumors. Regardless of their benign nature, fibroids can cause considerable morbidity. Women with African ancestry have a threefold increased risk of developing uterine leiomyomas with a greater symptom severity when compared to white women. Recently, we demonstrated that exon 2 of the MED12 gene is somatically altered in up to 70 per cent of uterine leiomyomas in a series of Finnish (Caucasian) patients. To validate these results in other populations, we sequenced a set of 28 uterine leiomyomas for MED12 exon 2 mutations from 18 different Black African or Coloured South African patients. We observed 14 mutation positive lesions (50%). When corrected by tumor size, these results are very similar to those derived in the Finnish material. This study confirms a major role of MED12 in the genesis of leiomyomas, regardless of ethnicity.

Fibroids that occur inside the myometrial layer of the uterus are called intramural fibroids. They can grow into the open space inside the uterus and may also include a stalk. These fibroids have limited space to grow. Uterine fibroids are the unusual muscular outgrowths that grow in a females uterus. Intramural fibroids are the most common type of fibroids, grow within the uterine wall. Estrogen is a hormone. Submucosal fibroids that grow underneath the uterine lining and may crowd the uterus cavity, leading to heavy bleeding. Subserosal fibroids grow on the outside of the uterine wall. What causes … Submucosal fibroid: These fibroids are not as common as the other types of fibroids. Treatment for uterine fibroids depends on your symptoms. Intramural fibroids grow in the muscle tissue of the uterus and are the most common type of fibroids. Submucosal fibroids may cause heavy menstrual bleeding and trouble conceiving. Fibroids are non-cancerous tumors that abnormally grow in a womans uterus. ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - New concepts in the treatment of uterine leiomyomas. AU - Stewart, Elizabeth A.. AU - Nowak, Romana A.. PY - 1998/10. Y1 - 1998/10. N2 - Uterine leiomyomas are a common clinical occurrence for gynecologists. The current approach to treating these neoplasms is shaped by classic surgical principles and the knowledge that these tumors are responsive to the gonadal steroids estrogen and progesterone. As knowledge of leiomyomas advances through the techniques of molecular biology and molecular genetics, new concepts are developed that go beyond just myomas as steroid-responsive tumors. Understanding the molecular events involved in the transformation of a normal myometrial cell into a neoplastic cell and the subsequent growth of these leiomyoma cells will be important in determining the pathogenesis of these tumors and providing new targets for treatment. Knowing the role of peptide growth factors, including basic fibroblast growth factor and transforming growth factor-beta, in the ...

A 59-year-old woman, diagnosed 7 years ago with uterine leiomyosarcoma (ULMS), developed several intrathoracic, pelvic and lately intra-abdominal and brain metastases. On each occasion, surgical resection was followed by a course of failed chemotherapy. Lately she presented with acute neurological deterioration and focal signs. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated two presumed brain parenchymal lesions involving the supratentorial and infratentorial compartments. She underwent surgical resection of the left cerebellar lesion. Histological analysis of the brain specimen confirmed the presence of metastatic ULMS. Leiomyosarcoma of the uterus is an uncommon tumor with a very aggressive course and poor prognosis.

Crucial in vivo experiments cannot be conducted in humans and depend on in vitro methodologies such as cell culture systems. However, some procedures involving the quality control of cells in culture have been gradually neglected by failing to acknowledge that primary cells and cell lines change over time in culture. Thus, we report methods based on our experience for monitoring primary cell culture of human myometrial cells derived from uterine leiomyoma. We standardized the best procedure of tissue dissociation required for the study of multiple genetic marker systems that include species-specific antigens, expression of myofibroblast or myoblast markers, growth curve, serum deprivation, starvation by cell cycle synchronization, culture on collagen coated plates, and 17 beta-estradiol (E-2) and progesterone (P-4) effects. The results showed that primary myometrial cells from patients with ...
OBJECTIVE: Trabectedin demonstrated significantly improved disease control in leiomyosarcoma and liposarcoma patients in a global phase 3 trial (NCT01343277). A post hoc analysis was conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of trabectedin or dacarbazine in women with uterine leiomyosarcoma (uLMS), the largest subgroup of enrolled patients (40%). METHODS: Of 577 patients randomized 2:1 to receive trabectedin 1.5mg/m2 by 24-hour IV infusion or dacarbazine 1g/m2 by 20-120-minute IV infusion once every three weeks, 232 had uLMS (trabectedin: 144; dacarbazine: 88). The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS); secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), clinical benefit rate (CBR: complete responses+partial responses+stable disease [SD] for at least 18weeks), duration of response (DOR), and safety. RESULTS: PFS for trabectedin was 4.0months compared with 1.5months for dacarbazine (hazard ratio [HR]=0.57; 95% CI 0.41-0.81; P=0.0012). OS was similar ...
Background: Uterine leiomyomas (fibroids) are the most typical benign estrogen-dependent tumors of premenopausal ladies. which ultimately result in tissue fibrosis. Outcomes: We noticed that TGF-3 induced fibronectin and collagen type 1 proteins expression in HuLM cells, and that effect was suppressed by vitamin D3. TGF-3 also induced protein expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, an important TGF- target, in HuLM cells, which was also inhibited by vitamin D3. Additionally, TGF-3 induced phosphorylation of Smad2 as well as nuclear translocation of Smad2 and Smad3 in HuLM cells, whereas vitamin D significantly reduced all these TGF-3-mediated effects. Therefore, our results suggest that vitamin D3 has consistently reduced TGF-3 effects that are involved in the Vilazodone process of fibrosis in human leiomyoma cells. Conclusion: Vitamin D3 is an antifibrotic factor that might be potentially useful as a novel therapeutic for nonsurgical treatment of benign uterine fibroids. Uterine ...

Untreated Uterine Fibroids Lead to Sterility Problems. Bookmark . Depending on the size of your fibroid and the symptoms you are experiencing, your doctor may want to simply watch the fibroid, or he or she may recommend. The mean diameter of type 2 submucosal fibroids was 3.8 ± 0.9 cm (range: 2.0-5.0 cm) for 39 patients in the FUS group and 3.5 ± 0.8 cm (range: 2.0-4.8 cm) for the 42 patients enrolled in the TCRM group. Submucosal fibroids are visualized and distinguished from all other fibroids, including at least intramural fibroids and subserosal fibroids, and the identified submucosal fibroids are selectively treated by delivering energy from the energy delivery element to the submucosal fibroid(s) while not targeting the other fibroid(s), if any. ... called a leiomyosarcoma.

In contrast, eicosapentaenoic acid at similar concentration decreased internalisation of leptin by 2-fold. Use of ibuprofen and indomethacin (inhibitors of prostaglandin synthesis) inhibited the stimulatory effect of arachidonic acid. Prostaglandin E-2, a cyclooxygenase metabolite of arachidonic acid, stimulated internalisation of leptin by these cells. All these data demonstrate that stimulation of leptin internalisation by arachidonic acid in placental trophoblasts may be mediated via prostaglandin E2. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science (USA).

When youre pregnant, your baby is nourished through your placenta. The placenta starts to develop when one of your eggs is fertilized, but occasionally, your body can over-produce the raw material that will form the placenta, resulting in a mass or growth that is called a hydatidiform mole.. This condition occurs in two distinct forms: partial and total. A partial molar pregnancy occurs when there is an abnormal mass or growth in the placenta along with a fetus, and a complete molar pregnancy happens when a woman has an abnormal growth in her placenta, but no fetus to go with it.. Both types of molar pregnancy occur as the result of an abnormality during egg fertilization. The embryo receives two copies of the fathers chromosomes, making it impossible for it to survive. Doctors believe there may be links between low levels of vitamin A, animal fats and proteins in the diet and molar pregnancies. Women who get pregnant later in life also have an increased chance of molar pregnancy.. ...

The clinical behaviors and cytogenetics of solitary uterine leiomyomas (SUL) and multiple uterine leiomyomas (MUL) vary, which greatly affects the choice of treatments for reproductive-aged patients with leiomyomas. Our previous study demonstrated that a series of microRNAs, including miR-146b-5p, are dysregulated and play important roles in the development of SUL and MUL. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can participate in the pathogenesis of several diseases by regulating the expression of microRNAs; however, their roles in regulating miR-146b-5b and in the pathology of leiomyomas are unclear. Pair-matched uterine leiomyoma and adjacent normal myometrium tissue samples were collected from 37 patients with leiomyomas, including 15 with SUL and 22 with MUL. Six paired samples (three SUL and three MUL samples) were used for lncRNAs microarray analysis. Targeted lncRNAs were selected by bioinformatics analysis, and were verified by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and a

Uterine fibroids (aka myomas) are noncancerous growths that develop in or just outside a womans uterus (womb). Although they are composed of the same smooth muscle fibres as the uterine wall (myometrium), they are much denser than normal myometrium. Uterine fibroids develop from normal uterus muscle cells that start growing abnormally. As the cells grow, they form a benign tumour. There can either be one dominant fibroid in the uterus, or a cluster of many small fibroids. Uterine fibroids are usually round.. 20-50% of women of childbearing age have uterine fibroids. While some women do not experience any problems, those who do, can experience symptoms that require treatment.. There are four primary types of uterine fibroids classified primarily by their location within the uterus. (See below). ...
To examine the effect of the histology of carcinoma and sarcoma components on survival outcome of uterine carcinosarcoma. A multicenter retrospective study was conducted to examine uterine carcinosarcoma cases that underwent primary surgical staging. Archived slides were examined and histologic patterns were grouped based on carcinoma (low-grade versus high-grade) and sarcoma (homologous versus heterologous) components, correlating to clinico-pathological demographics and outcomes. Among 1192 cases identified, 906 cases were evaluated for histologic patterns (carcinoma/sarcoma) with high-grade/homologous (40.8%) being the most common type followed by high-grade/heterologous (30.9%), low-grade/homologous (18.0%), and low-grade/heterologous (10.3%). On multivariate analysis, high-grade/heterologous (5-year rate, 34.0%, P = 0.024) and high-grade/homologous (45.8%, P = 0.017) but not low-grade/heterologous (50.6%, P = 0.089) were independently associated with decreased progression-free survival ...
Uterine fibroids are the most common of the noncancerous (benign) tumors of the uterus. The medical term that is synonymous with uterine fibroids is leiomyoma. The cause of fibroids is unknown. However, the hormone estrogen plays a dominant role, since fibroids and associated symptoms are prevalent during the reproductive years and decline during menopause. Fibroid-related symptoms resolve during the menopause and rarely occur during puberty or adolescence. The mean age group for symptoms related to fibroid tumors is between 30 and 50 years old. The incidence of uterine fibroids ranges from 10% to 50%. Factors affecting the incidence include age, race, genetics, and family history. Luckily, most women with uterine fibroids are asymptomatic. Some fibroids may undergo cancerous (malignant) transformation, but fortunately, this is rare. In fact, leiomyosarcoma (the cancerous change of fibroids) is detected in only 0.1% of women with fibroids.. The uterus is normally about the size of a small lemon. ...
A molar pregnancy is a rare condition, which happens when there is a problem with fertilisation. Usually, an embryo gets half its genetic material (chromosomes) from the mothers egg and half from the fathers sperm. In a molar pregnancy, the wrong combination of chromosomes comes together. Sadly, this means the pregnancy cant continue and a baby cant develop.. Rarely, a molar pregnancy can also cause health problems for you. Thats because cells from a molar pregnancy can turn cancerous. It sounds scary, but this doesnt usually happen. And when it does, medical treatment is nearly always successful.. Its also reassuring to know that after a molar pregnancy, its very likely you can have a healthy pregnancy in the future.. In a complete molar pregnancy, the fathers sperm fertilises an empty egg that contains no genetic material from the mother. Sometimes two sperm fertilise the egg . It is not possible for an embryo to grow. Instead, there is a mass of abnormal tissue, which may be seen ...

In a molar pregnancy, the early placenta develops into an abnormal mass (called a hydatidiform mole) that looks a little like a bunch of white grapes. The embryo either does not form at all or is malformed and cannot survive. About 1 in 1,500 pregnancies is molar.. There are two types of molar pregnancy: complete mole (there is no embryo and no normal placental tissue); and partial mole (there is an abnormal embryo, and there may be some normal placental tissue.) Both types of molar pregnancy are caused by an abnormal fertilized egg.. In a complete mole, all of the fertilized eggs chromosomes (tiny thread-like structures in cells that carry genes) come from the father. Normally, half come from the father and half from the mother. In a complete mole, shortly after fertilization, the chromosomes from the mothers egg are lost or inactivated, and those from the father are duplicated.. In most cases of partial mole, the mothers 23 chromosomes remain. However, there are two sets of chromosomes from ...
We also compare the size to weeks or months of pregnancy, since many women are familiar with this measurement. Contemporary management of uterine clinical utility of ulipristal acetate fibroid size measurements laparoscopic hysterectomy for large fibroid size measurements. It is important to remember that the size of uterine fibroids does not determine whether you will experience symptoms of uterine fibroids or not. It measures 11. Sizes of uterine fibroids vary from the size of a normal uterus which can be compared to a small pear or tennis ball to about the size of a 28 week pregnancy or the size of a pumpkin or a football. Fibroid clusters can range in size from 1 mm to more than 20 cm (8 inches) in diameter or even larger. I have 2 small uterine fibroids (my doc said the size of a pea or something) and my doctor said its very common, no big deal and just to monitor them every 6 months. To determine the efficacy of ultrasonographic assessment of uterus size in women of reproductive age, we ...

Uterine leiomyomas are the most prevalent benign tumors of the reproductive tract in women. Available treatments for leiomyomas are limited to surgical procedures or hormonal therapy, which are costly and have significant side effects. In an effort to develop alternative therapeutic strategies, we tested the drug halofuginone (HF) in primary leiomyoma smooth muscle cells (LSMCs) in vitro and in vivo. Our results show that treatment of LSMCs with 50nM HF in vitro caused a significant decrease in …
If youre suffering from fibroids and the symptoms that come with it (menstrual cramping, heavy menstrual bleeding, etc.), then perhaps you need to try the natural Chinese medicine treatments of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. They can reduce the size of your fibroids and eviscerate your symptoms.. Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that are also called myomas or uterine leiomyomas. Uterine fibroids are made up of connective tissue and smooth uterine muscles. This condition affects about 20 percent of women ages 35 years and over. In some women, uterine fibroids do not manifest any symptoms; in other women, they can cause signs and symptoms like pelvic pain or discomfort, painful sexual intercourse, backache (if there is compression in the nerves and muscles), urinary frequency (if there is compression in the bladder), constipation (if there is compression in the rectum), stomach bloating or discomfort, menstrual cramps, heavy menstrual bleeding, and other symptoms.. Fibroids may bring ...
This study elaborated on the significance of total hysterectomy in a cervical cancer screening population. As expected, excluding women with total hysterectomy from the target population had the greatest effect on coverage among the older women for whom the coverage increased from 72.7 to 79.4%. Even though the effect of excluding women with total hysterectomy increased with age, recalculating the coverage did not result in coverage higher than 82.7% at any age. In addition, our study showed that within the target population for cervical cancer screening, social and cultural differences were associated with having had a total hysterectomy. Women with higher socioeconomic status (higher education and higher disposable income) had lower odds of being hysterectomized compared to other women. Also, immigrants and descendants had lower odds of being hysterectomized compared to ethnic Danes.. A major strength of this study was the register-based design, minimizing the risk of both selection and ...
Uterine fibroids are common benign tumors found in the uterus. Made up of muscle tissue, they grow within the uterine wall itself or attach to it.. Uterine fibroids can cause excessive menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and frequent urination; fibroids potentially can cause many health problems.. According to Pubmed Health, as many as one in five women may have fibroids during their childbearing years. They grow in response to stimulation by estrogen. These growths can show up as early as age 20 but are more common for women in their thirties. They tend to shrink after menopause when the body stops producing large amounts of estrogen. Uterine fibroids can range in size, from microscopic to several inches across, filling the entire uterus and weighing tens of pounds. Fibroids grow slowly and although it is possible for just one fibroid to develop, usually there is more than one. The exact reasons why some women develop fibroids are unknown. Fibroids tend to be genetic. Affected women often have a ...
A hydatidiform mole is a pregnancy that starts with the wrong amount of genetic information (chromosomes). It is also called a molar pregnancy. Our genetic information holds the instructions for the body to grow and develop normally. The genetic information is packaged into structures called chromosomes. In humans, most cells contain 23 pairs of chromosomes, or 46 total chromosomes. The two types of molar pregnancies are called complete and partial.. In pregnancy, an egg is fertilized by the sperm. Usually, the egg and sperm each provide half of the chromosomes. In a complete molar pregnancy, the egg is missing its chromosomes. The missing information is replaced by either making a second copy of the chromosomes from the sperm or being fertilized by two sperm. The resulting pregnancy doesnt have any genetic information from the mother, only the father. Without genetic information from the mother, a baby cannot develop. The fertilized egg grows into a mass of tissue that implants in the uterus. ...
Intramural fibroids are one of the most common types of fibroids. Submucosal fibroids develop in the myometrium or the middle muscle layer of the uterus. They can grow to various sizes and occupy different parts of the uterine wall. Genetic factors: It has been observed that having a family member or more with fibroids increase ones probability of developing fibroids - suggesting a hereditary link. In some cases, fibroids can outgrow their blood supply and cause severe pain. They occur in ~25% of women of reproductive age 1and are particularly common in the African population. 4. Most fibroids are detected in a routine pelvic examination. In many women, fibroids cause no problems. Aside from the details we have already explored on the topic, here are some of the most common questions we get about uterine fibroids, and the answers to each of them: Fibroids typically look well-defined, solid masses that are firm and usually round in shape. Jun 20, 2019. The root cause of fibroids is still unknown ...
Discussing the premise of the study, lead investigator Frédéric Amant (Leuven Cancer Institute, Belgium) commented: We wanted to generate a clear view on the presence of targetable proteins in all subtypes of uterine sarcomas, with the aim of improving treatment options for these patients. Identifying biomarkers is crucial because novel treatments are expensive, underscoring the importance of patient selection.. The investigating team assessed five proteins in 288 samples of uterine sarcoma. In terms of subtypes, these samples included 157 leiomyosarcomas, 52 benign uterine stromal tumors and 41 normal uterine tissues. The remaining samples consisted of endometrial sarcomas, adenosarcomas and other undifferentiated types of uterine sarcoma.. These analyses uncovered that activated P-S6S240 is more often found expressed in high-grade tumors when compared with low-grade tumors - 32% vs 9%, respectively. Given that P-S6S240 is involved in the PI3K/mTOR cell signaling pathway, the team went on ...
Info you have to have to know about Uterine Fibroids in Ladies. What are Uterine Fibroids?. Uterine Fibroids are cells that expand from the uterine muscle. There are forms of uterine fibroids, also recognized as myocardial infarction, and can improve on the wall of the uterus and place pressure on the bladder or intestine. It can also mature within the wall of the uterus, or even arise from the wall of the uterus as a mass hanging by a slender leg into the uterine cavity or into the ectopic.. Fibroids might be as little as a pea bean or as large as a soccer ball, and they are often benign in approximation, no make a difference how large. Fibroids do not improve your chance of most cancers. If the sizing of the fibroid is plainly huge or rising on the outer area of the uterine wall, the uterus may possibly often be pushed aside. The growth of the uterus may compress the bladder or intestines.. In unusual conditions, if the fibroid is massive or if it grows in the reduce element of the uterus, ...
While experts say many forms of cancer are decreasing, federal researchers state that uterine cancer is rising. And African American women are experiencing the biggest toll of that increase.As the seventh most common fatal cancer for U.S. women, rising incidence rates of uterine cancer has garnered much medical attention. According to NBC News, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states the rise of obesity is closely tied with the rise of uterine cancer. Federal researchers found that rates of uterine cancer increased by 0.7 percent each year from 1999 to 2015, while death rates increased 1.1 percent each year. While uterine cancer incidence rates increased for white and Black women, Black women were twice as likely to die from the cancer than white women.. Dr. Michael Birrer, an oncologist and director of the ONeal Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, states, Theres no doubt that the incidence and mortality of uterine cancer, specifically ...
Uterine sarcoma (US) is a general term referring to rare malignancies of the uterus that originate from mesenchymal cells. US differ with regards to their histological features, growth behavior and response to therapy. Uterine carcinosarcoma, a type of mixed epithelial and mesenchymal tumor, is most frequently diagnosed. The most common uterine malignancy of solely mesenchymal origin is leiomyosarcoma. The identification of US on the basis of imaging results poses a major challenge. Therefore, many patients undergo surgery for presumed benign disease, such as leiomyoma, and the true type of tumor is only recognized after the histological examination of resected tissues.… Uterine Sarcoma: Read more about Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment, Complications, Causes and Prognosis.
What causes uterine fibroids, how are they detected and how are they treated? Uterine fibroids… The phrase alone is intimidating. What are they, and how do they form? Who is at risk, and how are they treated? What are Uterine Fibroids? Uterine Fibroids are noncancerous tumors that grow from the muscle layers of the womb. These benign growths of smooth muscle can vary from the size of a bean to as large as a melon. According to the Mayo Clinic, many women have uterine fibroids at some point durin
Mutations of mediator subcomplex 12 (MED12) and of high mobility group protein AT-hook 2 (HMGA2) are driver mutations in uterine leiomyomas (UL) that have not been observed to coexist in one tumor and even rarely coexist in different UL tumors of one patient. Here we describe a patient who underwent hysterectomy because of multiple leiomyomas which were studied by cytogenetics, MED12 hotspot sequencing, and copy number variation arrays. Two of the UL tumors had different HMGA2 rearrangements not detected by G-banding. Two UL tumors had deletions of the long arm of chromosome 3, in one case associated with a MED12 mutation. Both deletions lead to the loss of MED12L showing strong similarity with MED12. It remains to be determined if this gene can play a role in leiomyomagenesis independent of MED12. In summary, the patient presented exhibits an unusual coincidence of different driver mutations among her leiomyomas.
Fibroids are muscular tumours, the most common benign tumours in females and typically found during the middle and later reproductive years. It originate from the smooth muscle layer of the uterus. Another medical term is leiomyoma or just myoma. It can be as small as an apple seed or as big as a melon. In unusual cases they can become very large. With the advent of high frequency ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging it is now possible to diagnose such cases at an early stage1. Asymptomatic uterine fibroids often left untreated. Giant fibroids are the fibroids weighing 11.4kg2,3 or more. Such a fibroid may appear as a solitary tumor or as a conglomerate mass of uterine fibroids presenting as a single uterine tumor4. Giant uterine fibroid are very rare neoplasm and represents a great diagnosis and therapeutic challange. This article illustrates a case of 34 years old woman presented with a four year history of slowly increasing abdominal size with rapid increase in the last one year ...
PDCD-4 is unexpectedly elevated in leiomyomas, but normal myometrium does not express the protein; the expected inverse correlation of microRNA-21 and its target PDCD-4 is absent in fibroids.
Based on a review of 139 cases, Glasser29 found that myomectomy performed through a 3- to 6-cm minilaparotomy incision affords the advantage of same-day discharge as well as the ability to palpate the uterus and close the defect using a standard three-layered suturing technique.
