Journal: The Future of Abortion is Now: Mifepristone by Mail and In-Clinic Abortion Access in the United States. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 14, 2021 Although remote medication abortion improves access for many, those who need or want in-clinic care, such as people later in pregnancy, people for whom abortion at home is not safe or feasible, or people who are not eligible for medication abortion, will need comprehensive support to access safe and appropriate care. To understand how we may adapt to remote abortion without leaving people behind, we can look outside of the U.S. to become familiar with emerging and alternative models of abortion care.

Journal: Glucocorticoids protect HEI-OC1 cells from tunicamycin-induced cell damage via inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 13, 2021 In HEI-OC1 cells, dexamethasone was shown to significantly reduce the tunicamycin-induced expression of ATF4 and CHOP in the context of sustained viability and proliferation, a therapeutic effect that was reversible by co-treatment with a glucocorticoid antagonist. Dexamethasone can protect hair-cell-like HEI-OC1 cells from ERS damage, which may be one of the mechanisms of action for GCs in SNHL treatment.

Journal: Corticosterone Inhibits LPS-Induced NLRP3 Inflammasome Priming in Macrophages by Suppressing Xanthine Oxidase. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 11, 2021 Finally, the effects of a CORT antagonist (RU486) on XO expression and activity and NLRP3 expression in macrophages were further analyzed...In conclusion, our results suggested that CORT inhibits LPS-induced NLRP3 inflammasome priming in macrophages. The underlying mechanism is related to the modulation of XO expression and activity, which may be involved in priming and activating the NLRP3 inflammasome.

Journal: Epidermal ROCK2-induces AKT1/GSK3β/β-catenin, NFκB and dermal tenascin-C; but enhanced differentiation and p53/p21 inhibit papilloma. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 10, 2021 ROCK2 roles in epidermal differentiation and carcinogenesis have been investigated in mice expressing an RU486-inducible, 4HT-activated ROCK2 transgene (K14.creP/lslROCKer)...Alongside an altered ECM, these latent tenascin C-positive dermal fibroblasts may become putative pre-cancer associated fibroblasts (pre-CAFs) and establish a susceptibility that subsequently contributes to tumour progression. However, anomalous differentiation was also accompanied by an immediate increase in basal-layer p53/p21 expression; suggesting that whilst ROCK2/AKT1/β-catenin activation increased keratinocyte proliferation resulting in hyperplasia, compensatory p53/p21 and accelerated differentiation helped inhibit papillomatogenesis.

(Pubmed Central) - Jul 8, 2021 In a mouse model of AGP drug inhibition, mifepristone restores midostaurin activity. This suggests combinatorial methods for overcoming plasma protein inhibition of existing TKIs for leukemia as well as providing a platform for investigating the drug-protein interaction space for developing more potent small-molecule agents.

Journal: Uterine Rupture During Medical Induction for Second Trimester Abortion. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 26, 2021 Medical induction is an alternative to dilatation and evacuation (D and E) in second trimester abortion, though it has higher risk of minor complications compared to D and E. Combination of mifepristone and misoprostol is commonly used for the medical abortion...After 63 doses of misoprostol, she had to undergo unintended major intra-abdominal surgery for partial uterine rupture. Keywords: Dilatation and evacuation; medical induction; second trimester abortion; uterine rupture.

Preclinical, Journal: 5-lipoxygenase- and Glucocorticoid-dependent eosinophilia in a novel surgical model in mice. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 23, 2021 The effectiveness of pharmacologic agents alone beyond 16 weeks' gestation and the optimal timing of dilator placement remain important questions for future research. These findings document glucocorticoid-, allergen- and 5-lipoxygenase-dependent eosinophilia, which makes EWIp carriers an abundant source of pure, nontransgenic eosinophils for immunopharmacological studies.

Although none of the studies showed robust evidence of efficacy, the mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, particularly eplerenone, appear to demonstrate the highest quality evidence for use in this condition. The review aims to give the reader an overview of the current available evidence for oral medications used in the treatment of CSCR in order to provide an evidence-based discussion with the patient and guide through possible options for treatment.

Journal: Glucocorticoid receptors involved in melatonin inhibiting cell apoptosis and NLRP3 inflammasome activation caused by bacterial toxin pyocyanin in colon. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 22, 2021 In order to further investigate the molecular mechanism, goblet cells were exposed to MEL and PCN in the presence of luzindole and RU486, inhibitors of MEL receptors and GR respectively...Moreover, we found that MEL mainly upregulated the expression of GR to achieve its anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic functions rather than through its own receptor (MT2) in colon goblet cells. Therefore, MEL can reverse the inhibitory effects of PCN on GR/p-GR expression to present its anti-oxidative and anti-apoptotic function.

Cervical preparation reduces pain and improves feasibility associated with outpatient hysteroscopy but increases the risk of side-effects.

Journal: "I'll just deal with this on my own": a qualitative exploration of experiences with self-managed abortion in the United States. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 16, 2021 In addition to those who pursue SMA as a last resort (after facing barriers to facility-based care) or as a first resort (because they prefer homeopathic remedies), our findings show that some individuals view SMA as a potential interim step worth trying after suspecting pregnancy and before accessing facility-based care. These people in particular would benefit from a medication abortion product available over the counter, online, or in the form of a missed-period pill.
