Abstract
PROBLEM: Preterm labor remains the major cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity in normally formed babies. The mechanisms involved in the onset of preterm labor are poorly understood, mainly because the mechanisms initiating term labor remain ill-defined. METHOD OF STUDY: Human myometrial samples were collected at cesarean delivery from preterm (26-36 weeks gestation) and term (37-41 weeks) women. Women at term were either non-laboring or laboring. The expressions of interleukin-8 (IL-8) mRNA and protein were measured by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. RESULTS: The expression of both IL-8 mRNA and protein significantly increased in the term laboring group, compared with either the term non-laboring or preterm groups. Levels of IL-8 expression did not alter with advancing gestational age. CONCLUSIONS: The increased expression of IL-8 in laboring myometria at term supports the hypothesis that up-regulation of IL-8 has a role in the initiation of labor in association with an influx of neutrophils and the release of their collagenolytic enzymes into uterine tissues.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
