  Purpose

Analyze human skeletal muscle and learn more about the ability of adult muscle to produce myoblasts (young muscle cells).


Condition Intervention
Observe in Vitro Characteristics of Muscle Tissue
Elective Obstetric or Gynecologic Surgery
 Other: Tissue Donation

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Basic Science
Official Title: Tissue Donation for Myoblast Culture

Further study details as provided by University of California, Irvine:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • cell expansion [ Time Frame: weekly ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The goal of this pilot study is to obtain small amounts of human skeletal muscle that would normally be discarded during gynecologic surgery and instead conserve this tissue for laboratory analysis.


Estimated Enrollment: 24
Study Start Date: October 2008
Estimated Study Completion Date: September 2010
Primary Completion Date: February 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Tissue Donation
This study will involve females over 18 who are scheduled to undergo elective surgery. These patients will be screened for participation in this study, which will only involve the collection of discarded tissue.
 Other: Tissue Donation
Females over 18 who are scheduled to undergo elective surgery will have discarded tissue collected.

Detailed Description:

Study the ability of healthy human skeletal muscle to produce myoblasts, and to determine how many cells would be needed to regenerate a certain section of injured muscle. As part of this research, we hope to gain a better understanding of the effect of age on muscle and how normal skeletal muscle can regenerate itself by producing myoblasts. The information gathered from this study will be specifically used in future research for treating Anal Incontinence.
