title: [The role of leukocytic factors in the preparation for and induction of labor].
abstract: Preparation for labour and its induction are controlled by an integrative but not single process. The primary stimulus that comprises this integrative hormonal prostaglandin-leukocytic mechanism is a suppression of local progesterone action with further inhibition of perivascular prostaglandine dehydrogenase and sharp increase of E2 and F2 prostaglandine content in uteroplacentary mechanism bed. Vasodilatory effect of prostaglandines along with synergication of interleukine 8 leads to leukocyte emigration and formation of infiltrates consisting of neutrophilic granulocytes and certain number of macrophages and mast cells. Hydrolytic enzymes released by neutrophilic granulocytes cause degradation of collagenic tissue in uterine cervix promoting its ripening. The factors mentioned also influence loosening of choriodecidual interface. Further amplification of effect of prostaglandine including those produced by neutrophilic granulocytes along with the other uteroconstrictors increase myometrium contractions which leads to labour induction.
