Disease relevance of Cervix Uteri

 

Psychiatry related information on Cervix Uteri

  • Mating itself did not increase circulating oxytocin or cortisol; uterine motility remained unchanged during and after copulation but the cervix was significantly stimulated during teasing and after copulation [6].
  • VIP inhibits the spontaneous motor activity (including tone) in isolated preparations of uterine cervix from oophorectomized rats, but has no direct effect on preparations from estrogen-treated animals [7].
 

High impact information on Cervix Uteri

  • In 771 women given metronidazole for the treatment of vaginal trichomoniasis, more cancers developed than had been expected after exclusion of carcinoma of one uterine cervix (observed, 24 cases; expected on the basis of the Connecticut Tumor Registry, 21.7; expected on the basis of the Third National Cancer Survey, 18.4) [8].
  • Relaxin promotes growth and softening of the cervix, thus facilitating rapid delivery of live young [9].
  • INTERVENTION: Women self-collected a vaginal swab for HPV testing in the clinic and were then screened using 4 different tests: Papanicolaou smear, direct visual inspection of the cervix after the application of 5% acetic acid, cervicography, and HPV DNA testing of a clinician-obtained cervical sample [10].
  • Moreover, nucleolin expression is altered in HPV18(+) precancerous and cancerous tissue from the cervix uteri [11].
  • We examined microvessel density and expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in specimens of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), a preinvasive lesion of the uterine cervix, to determine whether a connection could be established between these parameters of angiogenesis and the grade of dysplasia (i.e., tissue abnormality) [12].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Cervix Uteri

  • CONCLUSION: CIFX improved the response rate and PFS duration in advanced cervix cancer compared with cisplatin alone, but at the cost of greater toxicity and with no improvement in survival [13].
  • CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that for patients with locally advanced carcinoma of the cervix, the combination of 5-FU and CF with RT offers patients better PFS and overall survival than HU, and with manageable toxicity [14].
  • This study prospectively evaluates the combination of bleomycin to this regimen in women with histologically proven advanced recurrent or persistent squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix [15].
  • Randomized trial of cisplatin and ifosfamide with or without bleomycin in squamous carcinoma of the cervix: a gynecologic oncology group study [15].
  • After hysterectomy, 156 evaluable patients with stage I (limited to the corpus) or stage II (limited to the corpus and cervix) uterine sarcomas were randomly assigned to adjuvant chemotherapy with Adriamycin (Adria Laboratories, Columbus, Ohio) for six months or to no further treatment [16].
 

Biological context of Cervix Uteri

 

Anatomical context of Cervix Uteri

  • Indium-111 labelled monoclonal antibody to placental alkaline phosphatase in in the detection of neoplasms of testis, ovary, and cervix [22].
  • Two proinflammatory cytokines, interleukin 1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), inhibited proliferation of normal epithelial cells cultured from human cervix [23].
  • Whereas normal cervical epithelium demonstrated diffuse, moderate to intense cytoplasmic staining, many pathological lesions of the cervix displayed reduced or absent Fhit expression [24].
  • In normal tissues, EAG mRNA is almost exclusively expressed in brain, but it is expressed in several somatic cancer cell lines, including HeLa, from cervix [25].
  • Randomized comparison of fluorouracil plus cisplatin versus hydroxyurea as an adjunct to radiation therapy in stage IIB-IVA carcinoma of the cervix with negative para-aortic lymph nodes: a Gynecologic Oncology Group and Southwest Oncology Group study [14].
