Immunohistochemical technology and Western blot were used to determine the expression of Calponin-1 and Transgelin in the 2 groups.Immunohistochemical detection and Western blot showed that Calponin-1 protein in the uterine smooth muscle tissue of the body and the lower uterine segment of smooth muscle tissues had significant difference (P<0.05). The expression of Transgelin in the uterine body smooth muscle tissue in the IL was higher than that in the NIL(P<0.05). In the lower uterine segments of the smooth muscle, the expression of Transgelin was not significantly different in the 2 groups (P>0.05).Calponin-1 of the uterine smooth muscle and Transgelin of the uterine body smooth muscle may involve in the regulation of uterine smooth muscle contractility, which is closely related to child birth launch.Read More
