New way to 'stop'
premature birth
|
A drug used to treat
cancer can stop contractions and may
prevent premature labour, researchers
say.
The Newcastle University
team tested the drug Trichostatin A on
tissue taken from 36 women undergoing a
caesarean.
The researchers said the therapy worked
by increasing the levels of a protein
that controls muscle relaxation. One
expert said with rates of premature
births rising - there are 50,000 a year
in the UK - a new treatment was badly
needed.
Preterm labour and birth continue to be
the single biggest cause of death in
infants in the developed world and
around 1,500 babies die in the UK every
year. A number of drugs are used to try
to stop early labour, but most have
serious side effects. Trichostatin A (TSA)
is known to promote the death of cancer
cells. The researchers got permission to
take samples of the muscles of women
undergoing caesarean sections at the
Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle,
the Cellular and Molecular Medicine
journal reported.
Contractions
They exposed the muscle to TSA and
measured the effects on both spontaneous
contractions and those induced by the
labour drug, oxytocin. They found an
average 46% reduction in contractions
for the spontaneously contracting tissue
and an average 54% reduction in the
oxytocin induced contractions. It has
been previously shown that a protein
kinase A (PKA) is involved in
controlling the relaxation of the uterus
during pregnancy.
The researchers showed that TSA
increased the levels of a protein
sub-unit of PKA. Professor Nick Europe-Finner,
who led the research, said: "We will not
give this drug to a patient because it
can damage as many as 10% of the genes
in a cell. "But it does show us that
other more specific agents that act on
the same enzymes but only one at a time
are worth investigating."
New treatment
Dr Yolande Harley, deputy director
of research at Action Medical Research
which funded the study, said: "This
project has uncovered some of the
molecular pathways that regulate uterine
contractions and so could be linked to
premature birth. "It could have a role
in preventing premature birth - finding
a new treatment for early labour would
be a major step forward." Professor Jane
Norman, a spokeswoman for the Royal
College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (RCOG),
said: "At the moment, it's not possible
to treat preterm labour effectively.
We
only have drugs that delay it by 24
hours or so - not enough to deliver the
baby safely. "One of the interesting
things about this research is that they
are using a new kind of drug - the drugs
we are currently using have been around
for a long time. "And they are targeting
pathways we have not known about before.
"When you consider that preterm birth
rates are rising in all four countries
of the UK a new more effective drug is
badly needed."

Forgiveness
is Divine
Assalam-O-Alaikum!
Hello friends, so are you enjoying the change of weather.
The regions that were smoldering with blazing summer sun are
now enjoying pleasant weather but some regions are now set
to face chilly winters. To whatever region you belong, I
wish you happy winters.
This time I will be discussing a noble trait that we rarely
see being practiced now- The habit of forgiving. To forgive
means to abstain from taking revenge or inflicting
punishment on your enemy or some one who has done wrong to
you, while you have the ability and the means to do so. It
calls for overlooking the offence and injustice of a person
who has purposefully or mistakenly hurt you.
It is because the act of forgiving is now rarely practiced,
that we see more of hatred and unrest around. Each side
keeps blaming the other and ignores the virtue of pardoning.
The more this trait is being neglected the more we hear the
news of wars, fighting and killing. It is demand of the day
that we re-inculcate the value of forgiveness in our lives.
It demands a lot of courage to forgive and one who learns to
forgive tends to be kind to fellow humans because he
realizes the truth of "To err is human and to forgive is
divine". He who forgives is nearer to God. God forgives us
when we fail Him. Then what is it that makes mortal man so
merciless, unpardonable, mean and so unable to forgive.
When you forgive you do good more to your own self than you
do to the other. Forgiveness cleanses your system of the
poison that will surely worsen and cause sufferings and
continued misery if not released. Peace and forgiveness is
an inseparable pair. By offering forgiveness to others, you
give yourself peace of mind and it makes you a good person.
Refusing to forgive by holding on to the anger and
bitterness can make your own life miserable. . Don't poison
your mind with resentment and anger. You cannot take the
poison and expect someone else to die. There is nothing so
bad that cannot be forgiven. So don't hold on to the anger
and resentment but let go of it and you will be much happier
in life.
Forgiveness is a gift you give to yourself. So friends, lets
be the change we wish to see, let us adopt a forgiving
attitude towards others.
Till next time,
Ms. Amna
Tariq Holy City of Makkah-Ul-Mukarrama
