In situ hybridization techniques are used to subtype the papilloma virus that may be found in premalignant lesions in uterine cervix. Most of the techniques use nonradioactively labeled avidin-biotin probes. A number of specific biotin-labeled probe cocktails are available for HPV subtype identification (e.g., HPV 6-l l, 16-18, 31-33-35). Some of these techniques use chemiluminescent components to enhance the sensitivity of HPV subtype detection (H5).

A 30-year-old woman developed uterine atony and bleeding after induced abortion because of fetal death at 17 weeks of gestation (4). Sulprostone was given intravenously at a rate of 500 micrograms/hour. When additional sulprostone was injected into the uterine cervix, the patient sustained a myocardial infarction, with ventricular fibrillation and cardiocirculatory arrest, most probably due to coronary artery spasm. She was resuscitated and recovered completely.

Mace prevented 3-methylcholanthrene (MCA)-induced carcinogenesis in the uterine cervix of Swiss albino mice (Hussain and Rao, 1991). Oral administration of mace at a dose of lOmg/mouse/day for 7 days before and 90 days following carcinogen thread insertion reduced cervical carcinoma incidence by 50%.
