Endometritis, a local inflammatory disease, has been known as the most common cause of infertility in mares. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of luteolin on endometritis induced by () and further clarified the possible molecular mechanisms. An -induced endometritis model was established by the infusion of into the uterus. Luteolin was intraperitoneally administered to mice 1 h before treatment. The results showed that the mice of the group showed severe histological changes of uterine tissues, increased myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, and elevated TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 levels. These changes induced by were dose-dependently inhibited by luteolin. Furthermore, luteolin inhibited MDA and Fe production and increased the production of GSH decreased by . Luteolin prevented -induced endometrial barrier disruption through up-regulating ZO-1 and occludin expression. Luteolin dramatically inhibited -induced NF-κB activation. The expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 was increased by luteolin. In addition, the inhibitory effects of luteolin on -induced endometritis were reversed in Nrf2 knockdown mice. In conclusion, these data indicated that luteolin protected mice against -induced endometritis through inhibiting inflammation and ferroptosis via regulating the Nrf2 signaling pathway.IMPORTANCEEndometritis is an inflammatory disease of the endometrium, which is a common gynecological disease. Up to now, there is no evidence for the protective effects of luteolin on endometritis. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether luteolin has protective effects against -induced endometritis and attempts to clarify the mechanism.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of vacuum-induced intrauterine balloon tamponade (vIBT) using the modified Bakri system in a clinical setting.
Materials And Methods: This single-center observational study included women who had undergone vIBT for primary postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). Vacuum induction at 60 kPa in the uterus was continued for 1 h with 50-100 ml saline, and the balloon was promptly removed after the protocol was completed.

A zoo-based, 11-year-old, uniparous southern black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis minor) failed to conceive after weaning a calf. Behavioral observation and fecal progestagen monitoring confirmed irregular estrous cycles. Serial transrectal reproductive ultrasound examination revealed the cause to be recurrent anovulatory hemorrhagic follicles (AHFs).

Introduction: Endometritis is a very common pathology in animals which changes endometrial leukotriene (LT) formation and muscarinic 2 and 3 receptor subtypes (M2R/M3R) and α-7 nicotinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptor (α-7 nAChR) expression patterns. With the relationship between ACh, its receptors and LT production remaining unclear, the role of M2R, M3R and α-7 nAChR in action of ACh on the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO), LTA4 hydrolase (LTAH) and LTC4 synthase (LTCS) protein abundances in the inflamed porcine endometrium and on the tissue secretion of LTB4 and LTC4 were studied.
Material And Methods: On day three of the oestrous cycle in gilts aged 7-8 months, 50 mL of either saline solution (control group, n = 5) or an suspension at 10 colony-forming units/mL ( group, n = 5), was injected into each uterine horn.

Beclin1 is an autophagy related factor, and it is capable of mediating non-autophagy functions, too. Yak endometritis represents a significant obstetric ailment that impedes the normal breeding process. The current understanding of the beclin1 effect on endometrial inflammation in yak remains limited.

Introduction: Induction of labor is a common procedure, and in Denmark, approximately one in four vaginal deliveries are induced. The association between induction and maternal postpartum infections such as endometritis, surgical site infection after cesarean section, urinary tract infection, and sepsis has been sparsely investigated. Our objective was to investigate the association between induction of labor and risk of maternal postpartum infection and to identify potential risk factors for infection.
