Abstract

Introduction: Uterine fibroids are non-malignant neoplasms originating from the smooth muscle cells of the uterus, and they represent the most prevalent tumor seen within the female reproductive system. The primary established approach to manage this condition is surgical interventions, specifically myomectomy, hysterectomy, or hysteroscopic removal of small subserous nodules. Occasionally, submucous fibroids may protrude through the cervical os, thereby enabling the feasibility of performing a vaginal hysterectomy. Case Presentation: The clinical presentation of a 44-year-old multiparous woman who arrived with symptoms of vaginal bleeding and a sizable mass protruding through the vaginal opening. The patient underwent an emergency vaginal extraction to remove the mass measuring 24 cm in the emergency room and a scheduled for elective surgery. During the procedure, uterine inversion was found with a muscle bundle around the corpus uteri and a fourth-grade perineal tear. This patient was also planned for a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral-salphyngo-oophorectomy procedure, along with Haultain's procedure and perineal repair. The patient exhibited favorable surgical outcomes. Conclusion: Hysterectomy is the preferred therapy for prolapsed pedunculated submucous myoma. It has been seen that even exceptionally big nascent myomas can be effectively removed using vaginal means.

Abstract

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy disorder marked by the onset of hypertension after the 20th week, posing risks such as cardiovascular disease. Curcumin, a commonly consumed herbal medicine, has been investigated as a potential antihypertensive agent in mouse models of preeclampsia. This study took place in the Bioscience Laboratory of Universitas Brawijaya from March to August 2023, employing a true experimental design with various groups of mice receiving different treatments. Nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) levels were measured using calorimetry and ELISA. The rats were divided into five groups: positive control, negative control and P1, P2, and P3 as the treatment groups. Treatment grups received fifferent curcumin doses of 30mg/kgBW/day, 50mg/kgBW/day, and 100mg/kgBW/day for P1, P2, and P3, respectively. Data analysis using the One-Way ANOVA and Post Hoc LSD revealed that curcumin at 100mg/kgBW/day significantly increased the NO level of 47.75±22.6 and decreased the ET-1 level of 67.03±24.47 when compared to the positive control (p<0.05). However, the 30mg/kgBW/day and 50mg/kgBW/day doses did not significantly affect the NO and ET levels. In conclusion, curcumin supplementation shows positive effects on NO and ET-1 levels in L-NAME-induced preeclamptic Wistar rats, highlighting its potential as an effective intervention for managing this pregnancy-related disorder.
