Mesovarian leiomyomas in the rat.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Prolonged treatment with two chemically distinct beta-stimulants, Salbutamol and Terbutaline, resulted in mesovarian leiomyomas in Sprague-Dawley rats. Development of these tumors induced by Salbutamol was prevented by concurrent administration of the beta-blocker Propranolol. Mesovarian leiomyomas induced by Salbutomol did not show any regression or progression during a 44-week postdosing recovery period. This report also gives the first recorded incidence of spontaneous mesovarian leiomyomas in the rat.

I-50: The Effect of Uterine Leiomyomas on Reproductive Performance
Background: Uterine leiomyomas (fibroids) are now known to be highly variable in their clinical behavior and biologic basis. However, the approach to leiomyomas and their effect on fertility, miscarriage and pregnancy complications has been based on location alone. Materials and Methods: This talk with bring together published information on the effect of leiomyomas on reproductive performance ...
متن کاملLeiomyoma of Scrotum: a Rare Case Report
Leiomyomas are benign tumors that originate from smooth muscle cells. Leiomyomas are well known to be the commonest neoplasm arising from the uterus but leiomyomas originating from the scrotum is a rare entity. They originate from the subcutaneous tissue or tunica dartos and can be solitary or multiple. We present a case of solitary scrotal leiomyoma in a 75 years old male who presented with a ...
متن کاملAberrant expression of HMGA2 in uterine leiomyoma associated with loss of TSC2 tumor suppressor gene function.
Unregulated proliferation of mesenchymal cells in leiomyomas, lipomas, hamartomas,and other diseases has been linked to the high mobility group (HMGA) family of DNA architectural proteins. HMGA genes are primarily expressed during embryonal development and silenced in adult tissues but can become reactivated in neoplasia as a result of chromosomal rearrangements. Although the genetic data sugge...

BACKGROUND/AIMS The objective of this study was to assess in vivo gene therapy of uterine leiomyomas in the Eker rat model using adenovirus (Ad)-mediated delivery of herpes simplex virus 1 thymidine kinase gene (HSV1TK) followed by ganciclovir (GCV) treatment. METHODS We randomized 27 female Eker rats with MRI-confirmed uterine leiomyomas to a single treatment with direct intra-tumor injectio...
