摘 要:Objective: The remodeling of uterine connective tissue during labor can lead to the reorganization of the extracellular matrix that, in turn, may influence the biomechanical properties of the myometrial wall. We hypothesized that the stretching of the lower uterine segment in laboring women with dystocia changes the viscoelastic properties of the uterine wall. Study design: We tested the tensile strength of lower uterine segment myometrium in 68 pregnant women at term. The biomechanical, structural, and biochemical properties were compared among 3 groups: (1) 39 laboring women who underwent primary low- transverse cesarean delivery for labor dystocia, (2) 12 nonlaboring women who underwent primary elective low- transverse cesarean delivery and (3) 17 women who underwent an elective repeat low- transverse cesarean delivery at term. The tensile properties were quantitated with a stretching regimen that was designed to mimic the conditions of labor. Parameters such as slope, yield point, and break point were recorded, analyzed, and interpreted. Biochemical properties were determined by the measurement of the sulfated glycosaminoglycans, hydroxyproline, and pyridinoline- deoxypyridinoline. Histologic properties of the connective tissue were assessed by collagen birefringence. Lastly, the association between these properties and biomechanical responses were compared among groups. Results: Lower uterine segment myometrium specimens obtained from laboring women were stiffer compared with specimens from women who were not in labor (P = .013) or had scarred myometrium (P < .001). The force that was required to reach the yield point was similar between labor and nonlabor groups (P = .216). Likewise, a previous lower uterine segment scar did not alter the yield point. The break point was similar among all groups (P = .317). Sulfated glycosaminoglycan levels were unaffected by labor or scarring (P = .354). Scarred lower uterine segment myometrium had a higher collagen content compared with unscarred myometrium specimens thatObjective: The remodeling of uterine connective tissue during labor can lead to the reorganization of the extracellular matrix that, in turn, may influence the biomechanical properties of the myometrial wall.
