Physical and biomechanical characteristics of rat cervical ripening are not consistent with increased collagenase activity

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to identify, discriminate, and quantify the physical characteristics of rat cervix during pregnancy, labor, and both before and after exposure to either prostaglandin (PGE2) or the collagenolytic enzyme matrix metalloprotease-1 (MMP-1). The changes in physical properties of the rat cervix during physiologic ripening was similar to those induced by PGE2 and RU486.

Proteomic biomarkers that predict the clinical success of rescue cerclage

Article Abstract:

The examination of amniotic fluid from women preparing to undergo rescue cerclage for proteomic biomarkers is discussed. Results indicate that an intrauterine inflammatory response or decidual hemorrhage predated surgery in nearly half the women requiring rescue cerclage.
