چکیده

bacterial vaginosis (bv) has been considered to be the most prevalent infection found in sexually active women. bv is thought to play an important role in the premature rupture of membranes (prom) and preterm birth. preterm delivery accounts for a substantial percentage of low birth weight infants and perinatal mortality and morbidity. bacteroides and prevotella species have been isolated from the amniochorion of women with preterm birth and prom. women with> 104/ml prevotella bivius (formerly bacteroides bivius) have a 60-100% higher rate of preterm delivery. the purpose of this study was to determine wether some strains of prevotella species isolated from prom and bv patients produce proteases especially collagenase enzymes which faciliate the rupture of membranes leading to preterm birth. vaginal specimens have been obtained from 120 women with bv and premature rupture of membrane in 30-44 weeks gestational age. twenty anaerobic coccobacilli consisting of bacteroides fragilis, black pigmented bacteroides and prevotella bivius were isolated and identified. the isolates were examined for protease activity, using porcine skine gelatin and casein as substrates by martleys method. elastase and collagenase activity were detected using elastin, guinea pig skin collagen, bovine achilles tendon col1agen, falgpaand gp,vpkas substrates by levenson method. collagenase and elastase activity was detected in 90 and 100% of isolates. gelatinase and caseinase activity was detected in 40 and 50 % of isolates. collagenase produced by prevotella bivia isolates was purified by ammonium sulphate precipitation, gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography. the collagenase was cleaved from the synthetic collagen substrate f algpa, and gp, vpk substrates. the activity of the enzyme was inhibited by edta, antipain and pmsf. this study suggests that proteases produced by prevotella bivia may be involved in the pathogenesis of premature rupture of membrane. prom before 37 weeks has been reported to be significantly higher among patients with bacteroides and prevotella colonisation of the genital tract. the amniochorion consists of collagen and elastin which convey physical integrity to the placenta. collagenase and elastase released into the genital tract may promote connective tissue destruction in the cervix and chorioamnion membranes.

Effects of Progesterone on Latency Period in Patients with Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes during 24-34 Weeks of Pregnancy

Background & Aims: Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) is the leading cause of preterm birth and perinatal mortality and morbidity, and complications. The objective of the present study was to assess the effect of progesterone agents (rectal suppositories and weekly injection of 17- hydroxyprogesterone caproate) on latency period in women with PPROM. Methods: This randomized, double-...

Premature rupture of membranes.

The management of patients with premature rupture of membranes has changed markedly in the past several years. The basis for this is a combination of a better understanding of newborn physiology, improved neonatal care, refinements in antibiotic therapy, and the widespread use of maternal and fetal monitoring. The best outcome for both mother and infant undoubtedly reflects data based on a comb...

Premature rupture of the membranes

Premature rupture of the membranes (= amniorrhea) occurs in 1% to 2% of all pregnancies and 30% of preterm births (earlier than 37 weeks) are due to the rupture of membranes.The rupture occurs if an imbalance between the resilience of the amnion and the pressure administrated develops; this can have different reasons. An intact amnion with sufficient amniotic fluid is not only essential for the...
