[Basic and clinical studies of cefminox in obstetrics and gynecology]. 1985

K Kubota

The study was done to evaluate the usefulness of cefminox (CMNX, MT-141) injection for the treatment of infections in the field of obstetrics and gynecology. Fundamental and clinical studies were made and following results were obtained. When 1 g of CMNX was administered by intravenous single shot, the maximum concentrations in various tissues of female genital organs were as follows: 34.98 micrograms/g in oviduct at 1 hour 10 minutes after the single shot, and 37.11, 28.01, 26.84, 30.01 and 40.06 micrograms/g in ovary, endometrium, myometrium, cervix uteri and portio, respectively, after 1 hour 20 minutes. In the clinical studies, CMNX was given to 13 cases with female genital organ infections and others. As for the clinical effects, responses were excellent in 1 case, good in 12 cases among 13 cases in total. The efficacy rate was 100%. As for the clinical effects on causative bacteria, the efficacy rates were 100% (3/3) for single infections due to Gram-negative bacteria, 100% (8/8) for mixed infection cases. Side effects were not observed. CMNX showed a satisfactory clinical efficacy and a potent bacteriological effect in treatment of the infection in the field of obstetrics and gynecology, and it has been concluded that CMNX will be a useful addition to the antibiotics for the therapy of these infections.

D007700	Kinetics	The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D007889	Leiomyoma	A benign tumor derived from smooth muscle tissue, also known as a fibroid tumor. They rarely occur outside of the UTERUS and the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT but can occur in the SKIN and SUBCUTANEOUS TISSUE, probably arising from the smooth muscle of small blood vessels in these tissues.

D010051	Ovarian Neoplasms	Tumors or cancer of the OVARY. These neoplasms can be benign or malignant. They are classified according to the tissue of origin, such as the surface EPITHELIUM, the stromal endocrine cells, and the totipotent GERM CELLS.

D010053	Ovary	The reproductive organ (GONADS) in female animals. In vertebrates, the ovary contains two functional parts: the OVARIAN FOLLICLE for the production of female germ cells (OOGENESIS); and the endocrine cells (GRANULOSA CELLS; THECA CELLS; and LUTEAL CELLS) for the production of ESTROGENS and PROGESTERONE.	Ovaries
D002513	Cephamycins	Naturally occurring family of beta-lactam cephalosporin-type antibiotics having a 7-methoxy group and possessing marked resistance to the action of beta-lactamases from gram-positive and gram-negative organisms.	Antibiotics, Cephamycin,Cephamycin,Cephamycin Antibiotics
D002923	Cilia	Populations of thin, motile processes found covering the surface of ciliates (CILIOPHORA) or the free surface of the cells making up ciliated EPITHELIUM. Each cilium arises from a basic granule in the superficial layer of CYTOPLASM. The movement of cilia propels ciliates through the liquid in which they live. The movement of cilia on a ciliated epithelium serves to propel a surface layer of mucus or fluid.
