Midtrimester abortion was successfully induced in a series of 20 patient by intraamniotic instillation of 15(S)-15-methyl-prostaglandin F2alpha with a mean abortion time of 17.78 hours. The patients in this study was divided into two groups, Groups 1 received an initial dose of 2.5 mg 15-ME-PGF2alpha and aborted in a mean time of 16.26 hours. The patients in Group II received 3.0 mg 15-ME-PGF2alpha and aborted in a mean time of 18.94 hours. There was no significant difference in the abortion time, occurrence of side effects or the initiation of uterine activity between Group I and Group II. Parous patients aborted somewhat faster than nulliparous patients but this difference was not significant. In this study 80% of the patients aborted in 24 hours or less, and the intra-amniotic instillation of 15-ME-PGF2alpha was an effective abortifacient technique from the 15th to the 23rd week of gestation. The uterine response to intra-amniotic instillation of 15-ME-PGF2alpha was characterized by the gradual appearance of low amplitude, high frequency contractions accompanied by a rise in baseline intrauterine tonus. Uterine activity developed gradually and peaked at 1:50 hours after intraamniotic instillation of 15-ME-PGF2alpha. In this small series 15-ME-PGF2alpha administered via intra-amniotic instillation did not appear to have a distinct advantage over the naturally occuring PGF2alpha administered by the same method for the induction of midtrimester abortion; a large series in indicated to define the advantage of either technique. 相似文献

Induction of abortion in mid-trimester pregnancies were performed on 26 patients. The first 12 patients were treated by intra-amniotic instillation of Prostaglandin F2 alpha, with a mean dosage of 40.2 mg. and mean abortion time of 24 hours and 41 minutes (ten patients). Fourteen additional mid-trimester abortions were performed using identical protocol plus the addition of oxytocin by intravenous infusion two hours after injection of the prostaglandin. All patients aborted, with mean dosage of PGF2 alpha of 28.2 mg. and mean abortion time of 15 hours and 37 minutes. 相似文献

PGE2 (prostaglandin E2), 20 mgm vaginal suppositories were administered to 2 groups of women seeking termination of pregnancy. 1 group had the suppository inserted inside a contraceptive diaphragm. Statistical comparisons were carried out for instillation to abortion time, side effects, and intrauterine pressure parameters. The usage of the diaphragm significantly reduced side effects, and resulted in an instillation to abortion time of 12.8 + or - 2.3 hours with no failures. The quantitative analysis of the uterine pressure recordings revealed activity significantly different than that seen with intraamniotic or extraovular PGF2alpha. The development of uterine activity simulates that of normal labor in that elevation of resting pressure does not occur and maximum active pressure evolves slowly. 相似文献

The efficacy of intramuscular administration of 15 methyl (15S) prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2a) in midtrimester pregnancy termination was evaluated in 16 healthy patients (mean age, 23.3; mean parity, 1.4; mean number of menstrual weeks, 16.1) by measuring dose response; oxytocin conversion; abortion time; side effects; intrauterine dynamics and progesterone withdrawal. Labor was monitored using extraovular balloon placed transvaginally; transcervically; and connected to a Physiograph machine. Patients not aborting within 48 hours after the first dose were considered failures. Blood samples were collected at 0, 3, and 6 hours and at abortion time for plasma progesterone measurement. Average dose given was 789 +or- 60 micrograms. Only 9 of 10 patients aborted within the prescribed 48 hours: 7 were complete abortions, and 2 were incomplete and required suction curettage. Mean induction to abortion time was 20.2 +or- 2.7 hours. Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea were the main side effects. The findings suggest that 15 methyl PGF2a in the dosages and routes prescribed is not as efficient as PGF2a. It is also suggested that prostaglandin affects the myometrium at 2 levels: 1) a membrane effect, and 2) a more fundamental intracellular regulatory effect which is necessary to initiate labor. 相似文献

Ewes were lutectomized and treatments were started 72 h later. Pregnant ewes were treated with vehicle; prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha); cortisol (C); trilostane (TR), a 3beta-hydroxy-steroid dehydrogenase inhibitor; PGF2alpha + C; TR + PGF2alpha; TR + C, or TR + PGF2 + C. TR, TR + PGF2alpha, TR + C, and TR + PGF2alpha + C aborted (P < or = 0.05) all ewes receiving TR. One ewe treated with PGF2alpha aborted (P > or = 0.05). The average time to abortion of TR-treated ewes was 50.8 h (P < or = 0.05) after initiation of treatments. All aborted ewes had retained placentas (P < or = 0.05) except one ewe in the TR + PGF2alpha, treatment group. TR was given every 12 h starting at 72 h postlutectomy until 96 h postlutectomy. TR reduced (P < or = 0.05) progesterone. Estradiol-17beta was increased (P < or = 0.05) 2 h after the first two TR treatments and declined 2 h later and was followed by a sustained increase (P < or = 0.05) in estradiol-17beta, which was coincident with the onset of abortions. Estradiol-17beta was increased (P < or = 0.05) by PGF2alpha but did not decrease (P > or = 0.05) placental secretion of progesterone. It is concluded that TR but not PGF2alpha is an abortifacient in 90-day-pregnant lutectomized ewes and that abortion occurs only when there is a decrease in circulating progesterone and an increase in circulating estradiol-17beta. 相似文献

From interpretation of 24-hour dose-response curves, it is improbable that mid-trimester abortion rates greater than about 80% can be accomplished with any one dose schedule of Prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α). To determine whether augmentation of intra-amniotic PGF2α with laminaria would improve the abortion rate, the results of a group of 22 gravidas treated with intra-amniotic PGF2α were compared to those of a group of 21 subjects treated with laminaria and an identical dose schedule of PGF2α. Patients with laminaria not only had a shorter mean abortion time (14.6 hours), but 95% aborted within 24 hours and all patients aborted within 24.5 hours of the initial PGF2α injection. Patients without laminaria had a longer mean abortion time (18.9 hours); only 68% aborted within 24 hours and one failed to abort within the 48-hour trial period. No significant differences in the frequency or severity of complications between the two groups were observed. Uterine contractility over the initial 6 hours of the induction was similar in the two groups. Therefore, augmenting the intra-amniotic PGF2α method with laminaria appears practicable. 相似文献

Peripheral plasma levels of estrone, estradiol-17beta and estriol were measured by the method of Shutt and Cox in 10 women following intra-amniotic infusion of prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2a) for therapeutic abortion. Initial dose was 30 mg, followed if necessary, by doses of 15 mg at 24 hours and 42 hours. Gestational age of pregnancies ranged from 14 to 19 weeks, with a mean of 16 weeks. All 10 women completely aborted. Mean induction-abortion interval was 24 + or - 12 hours. The mean estrone, estradiol 17beta and estriol levels declined to about half of the pre-infusion levels after 80% of the induction-abortion interval had elapsed. The main decline in estrogen levels occurred in individual women either during the 1st quarter or during the last quarter of the induction-abortion interval. There were no significant relationships between changes in estrogen levels and the interval from 1st administration of PGF2a to subsequent abortion. 相似文献

This study was designed to determine the nature of the antiluteotrophic effect of metergoline on pregnant bitches, the occurrence of clinically evident side-effects, and the efficacy of PGF(2alpha) in initiating abortion after a course of metergoline therapy. Starting on Days 18 to 20 after the onset of diestrus, 8 adult pregnant beagle bitches were treated twice daily with 0.4 to 0.5 mg/kg po metergoline for 5 d. After receiving no treatment for the next 5 d, metergoline administration was repeated for a further 3 d, followed by twice-daily intramuscular injections of dinoprost tromethamine at 250 mug/kg. There was an overall trend for the plasma progesterone concentration to decrease during the first and second course of metergoline therapy and to rise during the intervening period of no treatment. None of the bitches aborted during or after the first 5 d of metergoline administration. No side-effects were evident during the metergoline therapy. After pretreatment with metergoline a mean of 4.8 injections of PGF(2alpha) was necessary to ensure complete abortion. All abortions were rapid and uneventful, except for the usual side-effects associated with PGF(2alpha). The plasma progesterone concentration at the onset of PGF(2alpha) treatment was positively correlated to the number of PGF(2alpha) injections needed to complete the abortion process. The plasma progesterone concentration was < 8 nmol/l for several days as a result of metergoline therapy in 6 of the 8 bitches. Only 1 bitch, however, aborted before PGF(2alpha) therapy was initiated. In the other 7 bitches PGF(2alpha) appeared to be necessary for abortion. The results suggest that the effect of metergoline has to be considered incompletely luteolytic at the doses used in this study. Even prolonged suppression of luteal function in early to mid-gestation, however, did not cause abortion without the previously documented luteolytic and/or ecbolic effects of PGF(2alpha). The average interestrus interval of cycles treated with metergoline and PGF(2alpha) was shorter (mean 182.2 d, SD 7.9 d, n = 6) than expected for this group of bitches (mean 211.4 d, SD 31.5 d, n = 7). 相似文献

160 women with uteri at 10-20 weeks gestation were treated with either PG(prostaglandin)F2alpha or saline solution followed by oxytocin to effect an abortion. 80 women were in each treatment group. The distribution of the patients according to age, parity, and gestation duration is tabulated. PGF2alpha was administered extraovularly in a concentration of .1 mg/ml with .7 mg being injected in the operating theater and nurses administering the rest based on response to previous injections. Administration continued for up to 30 hours. Saline was given in a volume in ml dependent on the duration of pregnancy multiplied by a factor of 10. Subcutaneous injections of oxytocin were given on subsequent days to speed the abortion. 85% of the PG patients successfully aborted without surgical dilatation of the cervix. The average dosage of PG required was 7.5 mg in 11 instillations. Side effects and complications in the PG group were minimal. 1 instillation of saline followed by 2 days of oxytocin were required to effect a 79% abortion rate in the saline group. Although the number of patients requiring surgical dilatation was the same for both groups, the procedure was much less time-consuming for the PG group. The complication rate was 26% for the saline group as compared to 14% for the PG group. The PG group required a shorter hospital stay. 相似文献

A group of 94 volunteers were treated with PGE2-analogue SHB 286 at the 12+1 week of pregnancy. Of the 94 gravidas, 78 received a single extravular dose of 50-200 microgram (Mean +/- S.E. 76 +/- 7 microgram) while 16 a short intravenous infusion of 1000-2000 microgram SHB 286. Despite the single treatment and low dose, the success rate was 69% and the instillation abortion time only 15 +/- 1 hours. At 24 hours after treatment even those gravidas who failed to abort (31%) had sufficient cervical dilatation for curettage and thus could be spared from rapid surgical dilatation. Peripheral plasma progesterone and estradiol-17 beta decreased significantly at 4 hours after treatment in those gravidas who subsequently aborted. After an initial contracture response of the uterus to SHB 286, the cyclic intraterine pressure evolved gradually. In 4 hours it reached significantly higher levels in those gravidas who subsequently aborted than in those who did not. 相似文献

The efficacy and safety of intra-amniotic prostaglandin (PG) F2 alpha (25 mg repeated in six hours) and hypertonic saline (200 ml 20% NaC1) were compared in an international multicentre randomised study organised by the World Health Organisation''s prostaglandin task force. Both hypertonic saline and PGF2alpha were found to be effective in terminating second-trimester pregnancy. The main advantage of PGF2alpha however, was its greater efficacy, with significantly higher success rates in the first 48 hours. Out of 717 women given PGF2alpha 614 (85-6%) aborted within 48 hours; by 24 hours 439 (61-2%) had aborted, and by 36 hours 574 (80-1%) had aborted. Out of 796 women given hypertonic saline 641 (80-5%) aborted within 48 hours; however, by 24 and 36 hours, respectively, only 161 (20-2%) and 462 (58%) had aborted. Although PGF2alpha was associated with a somewhat higher frequency of minor side effects than hypertonic saline, notably vomiting and diarrhoea, these were within acceptable limits. Only 59 women (8-2%) in the prostaglandin group had more than four episodes of vomiting and 11 (1-5%) more than four episodes of diarrhoea. Ohter side effects occurred only occasionally. No difference was found between the two groups in the frequency of incomplete abortion or excessive bleeding. 相似文献

Abortion was successfully induced in 62 of 68 patients in the 9th to the 26th week of pregnancy be serial intramuscular administration of 15(S)-15-methyl-prostaglandin F2alpha (15-ME-PGF2alpha). In 6 patients who failed to abort after 24 hours of prostaglandin administration, a concomitant infusion of oxytocin was initiated; 5 of these patients aborted within 12 hours of the combined therapy. A single patient failed to abort, even with the combined therapy, and underwent surgical evacuation. The mean abortion time in the 67 successful inductions was 14.56 hours. Parous patients aborted somewhat fasteter, mean 13.98 hours, as compared to nulliparous patients, mean 15.02 hours, but this difference was not statistically significant. In this study initial intramuscular injection of 100 mug 15-ME-PGF2alpha was followed in 1 hour by 250 mug and then 250 mug every 2 hours with concomitant oxytocin therapy initiated after 24 hours. The results with this dose schedule were compared to the results obtained in a previous study with a higher dose schedule, an initial dose of 100 mug 15-ME-PGF2alpha, followed in 1 hour by 250 mug then 500 mug every 2 hours. There was significant difference in the mean abortion time and the incidence of side effects between the 2 dose schedules. The mean abortion time for patients with gestational ages 16 weeks and less was the same with both dose schedules, however patients with gestational ages of 17 weeks and higher aborted somewhat faster with the higher dose schedule. It might therefore be advisable for patients with gestations of 17 weeks and higher to be treated with the higher dose schedule. In earlier gestations patients could be started on the lower schedule, and if abortion had not occurred within 15 hours the dose of 15-ME-PGF2alpha could then be increased to 500 mug every 2 hours. 相似文献

Using Csapo's technique, a single dose of 24.3 +or- 1.1 mg prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha) had been delivered intraamniotically to 20 sedated pregnant patients (15.9 +or- 0.6 weeks pregnant) in order to provoke a PG impact (PGI), a consequent progesterone (P) withdrawal, and a conversion of the pharmacologically refractory normal pregnant uterus into a reactive organ. The side effects were occasional and acceptable and no further PGF2alpha treatment was needed except in 4 cases (5-10 mg). Only after the Oxytocin test showed that the uterus is becoming reactive, was 50 mU/minute oxytocin infused intravenously to facilitate the evolution of IUP to 93 +or- 3 mmHg and thus promote clinical progress. All the 20 patients aborted both the fetus and the placenta in 16.5 +or- 2.1 hours, but 8 women retained small placental residues to be removed by curettage. The Csapo score was a high 92 +or- 2. As early as 3 hours after PGI, the plasma P levels already decreased significantly. They continued to decline throughout the IAT and reached a 72% withdrawal when the fetus was aborted. 15 patients whose P withdrawal was rapid, aborted before the mean IAT, while those 5 women whose P withdrawal was slow aborted after this time. Thus, the rate of P withdrawal was direct while parity and gestational age indirectly related to the IAT. Studies are in progress to elucidate further the abortifacient action of PGF2alpha and through this knowledge promote predictable therapy. 相似文献

One objective of this experiment was to evaluate our hypotheses that estradiol-17beta regulates secretion of pregnancy specific protein B (PSPB) and that secretion of progesterone during pregnancy is regulated by a prostanoid by examining the effects of prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha), a luteolyic agent; indomethacin, a prostanoid synthesis inhibitor; tamoxifen, an estrogen receptor antagonist; estradiol 17-beta; and interaction of these factors on the incidence of abortion and progesterone and PSPB secretion. Another objective was to determine if there is a luteal source of PSPB. Weights of corpora lutea were decreased (P < or = 0.05) by PGF2alpha, indomethacin, PGF2alpha + tamoxifen, PGF2alpha + indomethacin, and PGF2alpha + estradiol-17beta but not (P > or = 0.05) by tamoxifen or estradiol-17beta alone. No ewe treated with PGF2alpha alone aborted (P > or = 0.05). Forty percent of ewes treated with PGF2alpha + estradiol-17beta aborted (P < or = 0.05), but ewes were not aborted by any other treatment within the 72-h sampling period. Profiles of progesterone in jugular venous blood differed (P < or = 0.05) among control, indomethacin-, tamoxifen-, and PGF2alpha + indomethacin-treated ewes. Progesterone in jugular venous blood of control ewes decreased (P < or = 0.05) by 24 h, followed by a quadratic increase (P < or = 0.05) from 24 to 62 h. Progesterone in jugular venous blood of indomethacin-, PGF2alpha-, PGF2alpha- + tamoxifen-, PGF2alpha + indomethacin-, PGF2alpha + estradiol-17beta-, and tamoxifen-treated ewes was reduced (P < or = 0.05) by 18 h and did not vary (P > or = 0.05) for the remainder of the 72-h sampling period. Progesterone in vena cava and in uterine venous blood was reduced (P < or = 0.05) at 72 h in PGF2alpha-, indomethacin-, tamoxifen-, PGF2alpha + indomethacin-, PGF2alpha + tamoxifen-, and PGF2alpha + estradiol-17beta-treated ewes. Weights of placentomes did not differ among treatment groups (P > or = 0.05). Profiles of PSPB in inferior vena cava blood differed (P < or = 0.05) among control, estradiol-17beta-, indomethacin-, tamoxifen-, PGF2alpha + indomethacin-, and PGF2alpha + tamoxifen-treated 88- to 90-day pregnant ewes. Concentrations of PSPB in inferior vena cava blood were increased (P < or = 0.05) in indomethacin-, estradiol-17beta-, tamoxifen-, PGF2alpha + tamoxifen-, and PGF2alpha + indomethacin-treated 88- to 90-day pregnant ewes within 6 h and did not vary (P > or = 0.05) for the remainder of the 72-h sampling period. Concentrations of PSPB in uterine venous blood of indomethacin-, tamoxifen-, PGF2alpha + tamoxifen-, and PGF2alpha + indomethacin-treated ewes were greater (P < or = 0.05) at 72 h than at 0 h. PSPB in ovarian venous blood did not differ (P > or = 0.05) adjacent or opposite to the ovary with the corpus luteum. It is concluded from these data that estrogen regulates placental secretion of PSPB and that a prostanoid, presumably prostaglandin E, regulates placental secretion of progesterone during 88-90 days of gestation in sheep and that there is no luteal source of PSPB. 相似文献

This report discusses the authors' experience with intraamniotic administration of single doses of the prostaglandin PGF2alpha as an abortifacient agent. 98 healthy women between the 12th and 26th week of pregnancy admitted to the Clinical Research Unit of the North Carolina Memorial Hospital were given a single intraamniotic dose of PGF2a administered through an indwelling polyethelene catheter inserted either transabdominally or transvaginally. The drug was given as Tham salt with the first 5 mg of any dose being given at the rate of 1 mg/minute for 5 minutes, followed by more rapid administration of the balance of the dose. Abortion which did not occur within 48 hours was considered a failure. Each patient received 1 of the following dosages: 25, 40, 50, and 75. 9 (64%) of 14 patients given 25 mg PGF2a aborted within the 48-hour period. The percentages of abortion in the doses 40, 50, and 75 mg were 88.9% (9 patients), 96.7% (60 patients) and 93.3% (15 patients) respectively. As these figures were almost similar, the 84 patients were combined as a single group (84 patients) relative to the injection-abortion time, effect of parity, and stage of gestation at which the abortion was carried out. Half of the patients in this combined group aborted in approximately 21 hours; more than 90% at the end of 32 hours; and 95% at the end of the 48 hours post-injection. For comparison, the cumulative abortion curve of 552 patients who had intraamniotic saline for abortion showed that 50% of the women aborted within 31 hours, 84% within 48 hours, and 97% within 72 hours. Prostaglandin induced abortions thus are shown to reach the 50% level 10 hours before the saline patients, and the 90% level about 21 hours before the saline patients. Significant side effects (presented elsewhere) were observed in all groups, with the incidence increasing at higher dosages. Mean induction-abortion time for nulliparas at all dosages was 17.4 hours; for multiparas, 20.4 hours. There was no clear relationship between gestational age and parity. The study shows that the effective dose for inducing abortion with PGF2a lies within the 40 to 50 mg dose range. 相似文献

Midtrimester abortion was successfully induced in 13 of 22 patients by serial intravaginal administration of 15(S)-15-methyl-prostaglandin F2alpha (THAM) suppositories. Nine patients, 4 nulliparas and 5 multiparas, failed to abort after 24 hours of prostaglandin administration and a concomitant infusion of oxytocin was initiated. Seven of the nine patients aborted within 7 hours of the combined therapy and one patient on methadone maintainence aborted after 17.5 hours of combined therapy, 41.5 hours after the first dose of prostaglandin. A single patient failed to abort, despite the concomitant prostaglandin-oxytocin administration and underwent surgical evacuation. The mean abortion time for the 21 successful abortions was 22.56 hours. Nulliparous patients aborted somewhat faster, mean 21.79 hours, than multiparous patients, mean 23.80 hours, but this difference was not statistically significant. In this study, one patient aborted in less than 12 hours, and 62% of the successful cases aborted within 24 hours. The plasma levels of 15-ME-PGF2alpha were analyzed by radioimmunoassay in 10 patients. Plasma prostaglandin levels rose significantly 30 minutes after the insertion of the first suppository, but there was a wide variation in levels from patient to patient. It was observed that the 2 patients with the highest levels had the fastest abortion times and episodes of gastro-intestinal side effects appeared related to a rise in prostaglandin levels. Sixty-four percent of the patients in this study had no gastro-intestinal side effect related to prostaglandin administration. 相似文献

Reassessment of systemic administration of prostaglandins for induction of midtrimester abortion 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This investigation was conducted to evaluate the abortifacient efficacy of vaginal and intramuscular administration of different dose schedules of the 15-methyl analogues of prostaglandin F2 alpha. Both 15-methyl PGF2 alpha and 15-methyl PGF methyl ester can be absorbed from the vagina in sufficient amounts to induce abortion. The potency of the methyl ester was approximately twice that of the free acid. The most successful treatment schedule consisted of an initial dose of 0.5 mg of the methyl ester followed by 1.0 or 2.0 mg every third hour. On this treatment all patients aborted within 24 hours. Initially 200 ug of 15-methyl-PGF2 alpha was given. The dose was increased to 400 ug or occassionally to 500 ug depending on the effect and tolerance of the patient and repeated every third hour. The treatment schedule resulted in a 100% abortion rate and the mean induction-abortion interval was 16.1 hours. Both routes were associated with a higher frequency of side effects than that reported for intraamniotic administration of 15-methyl-PGF2 alpha. It seems justified to conclude that the intraamniotic route is preferable after the 14th week when the uterine cavity is easy to puncture, but that vaginal or intramuscular injections of the compounds could be an alternative in late first trimester and early second trimester cases. 相似文献

In 9 normal 1st trimester pregnant patients strong stimulation with a single intravenous dose of 250 mU oxytocin, or 100 mc prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha), only provoked barely detectable and transient contractures, rather than advanced cyclic intrauterine pressure (IUP). Evidently, the normal early pregnant human uterus is not an "inert" muscle organ, but is "refractory" to stimulants. Luteectomy-induced rapid and continued progesterone(P)-withdrawals in 5 of the 9 patients "converted" these "refractory" uteri to "responsive" organs. This "conversion" was revealed by advanced cyclic IUP during the OR and PGR within 24-28 hours after luteectomy. Abortion occurred in 60.6+ or - 7.6 hours. "Conversion" was delayed in those 2 patients whose P-withdrawal was slow and who only aborted after 140.5 + or - 13.5 hours. The remaining 2 patients, whose luteectomy-induced P-withdrawal was moderate and transient showed no "conversion" and failed to abort. The rate and degree of P-withdrawal in these 3 groups of patients was a function of gestational age. Apparently the normal pregnant human uterus is a suppressed organ, refractory to stimulants. Continued P-withdrawal suspends suppression, lowers threshold and thus "converts" the refractory uterus to a reactive organ. Once "converted" the pregnant human uterus becomes spontaneously active under endogenous stimulation and expels its contents, a process which can be hastened by exogenous stimulants. 相似文献
