Background: In this study, we investigated the inhibitory effects of desflurane and sevoflurane on oxytocin-induced contractions of isolated human myometrium.

Methods: Following delivery of the infant and placenta, a small segment of myometrium was excised from the upper incisional surface of the lower uterine segment and 20 strips, randomly assigned into two groups (n = 10), were obtained from 20 non-laboring term parturients. The study protocol consisted of a 60-min period of spontaneous contractions, control recording with oxytocin 2 x 10(9) m (10-min period), washout interval of 10 min, volatile administration (three times per 15-min period) of 0.

Our purpose was to investigate the direct depressant effects of desflurane and sevoflurane at 0.5, 1 and 2 minimum alveolar concentrations (MAC) on spontaneous contractions of isolated gravid rat myometrium. Ten gravid, albino Wistar rats, weighing 240-310 g and at 19-20 days' gestation were used.

Background: We studied the inhibitory effects of desflurane and sevoflurane on oxytocin-induced contractions of isolated gravid rat myometrium.

Methods: Twenty strips were obtained from rats and these were randomly assigned into two groups. The effects of desflurane and sevoflurane were evaluated by treating strips with oxytocin alone 2x10-9 M or with oxytocin after desflurane and sevoflurane at 0.

Chronic cervicitis is one of the common disorders encountered in daily practice. To overcome this problem first step should be antibiotic therapy in acute phase. If this fails, the infection becomes chronic and may spread to internal genital organs leading to pelvic inflammatory disease and eventually to infertility.
