Abstract

Delivery is uncomplicated in 60 to 75% of cases. Movement through the pelvic pathway requires precise foetal mobility in relation to the pelvis, since the head must pass using a double rotation: 120 degrees deflection around the symphysis pubis and 45 degrees to 135 degrees rotation around the pelvic cavity, according to the presentation. This mechanism, imposed by the adaptation of the form of the pelvis to the upright position, is possible cue to an apparent reduction in volume of the foetal head by its molding and its flexion. This accommodation is favoured by the maturity of the foetal nervous system, the maturity of the uterus, and by the type of presentation. Anterior presentation (anterior left occipito-iliac), more common in multiparas, is usually safer than posterior presentation (posterior right occipito-iliac). more often seen in primiparas.

The role of MR imaging in invasive cervical carcinoma.

In this article the role of MR imaging in the management of cervical cancer is reviewed and illustrated. The appearance of the normal uterine cervix and of cervical carcinoma is shown. Important factors for optimal MR imaging of cervical carcinoma are reviewed. The value of MR imaging in the staging of cervical carcinoma is illustrated by showing parametrial invasion and lymph node involvement. Finally, the value of MR imaging staging is compared with clinical staging, CT staging, and surgical findings. The role of new imaging techniques, such as fast dynamic enhanced MR imaging, is described.

Determination of the cellular retinoic-acid-binding protein in dysplastic epithelia of the cervix uteri, differentiated into apo and holo forms.

PURPOSE: The appearance of the cervical mucosa is regulated by different factors including retinoic acid. Hormone-dependent alteration of the cervix uteri mucosa is accompanied by a decrease or increase of cytoplasmatic retinoic-acid-binding protein (CRABP). To elucidate whether this hormone-dependent alteration of CRABP is preserved in the case of neoplasms of the cervix uteri, we measured the level of total and apo-CRABP in normal and neoplastically transformed cervical cells. METHODS: In a prospective pilot study, standardised biopsies of normal epithelium and cervical intra-epithelial neoplasm grade 3 (CIN III) were taken from 24 patients. A newly developed method was used to determine the intra-epithelial level of apo- and total CRABP. RESULTS: The concentration of total CRABP in normal squamous epithelium compared with that in intra-epithelial neoplasm grade 3 is very significantly lower in the CIN III areas (normal: 3.66 +/- 1.46 pmol/ mg wet weight +/- SD; CIN III 1.43 +/- 0.59 pmol/mg P < 0.01). In addition CRABP in the apo form is lower in normal than in neoplastic epithelium (Wilcoxon test for paired non-parametric values: P < 0.05; mean for all patients: normal: 1.65 + 0.82 pmol/mg; CIN III: 1.14 +/- 0.23 pmol/mg). CONCLUSION: From our results we conclude that, in neoplastically transformed cells, the hormone-dependent CRABP cycle is interrupted. Whether this has consequences for the further development of the neoplastic cells has to be elucidated.
