Abstract:
AIM To observe the effects of DL111-IT on decidual cells, content of PGE
2 and PGF
2α, and uterine contractibility of pregnant rats. METHODS HE stain, radioimmunoassay and uterine contractility
in vitro were used to estimate histologitic changes in decidual cells, PGE
2 and PGF
2α concentration in uterus and serum and the uterine contrability of pregnant rats, respectively. RESULTS After im DL111-IT ×5 d, the PGE2 and PGF2α contents in uterus of pregnant rats increased 118.2% and 213.7%, respectively, and those in serum were increased 74.3% and 227.7%, respectively. Edema, degeneration and solvate at decidual cells with indefinite nuclei were observed in pregnant rats treated with DL111-IT for 3~5 days. DL111-IT strengthened the uterine contraction of pregnant rats and the uterine response to oxytocin and misoprostol
in vitro. CONCLUSION DL111-IT damaged the decidual cells, incresed the concentrations of PGE2 and PGF2α, and strengthened the contractibility of pregnant uterine.
