Question 1

what causes agus cells?

Accepted Answer

Pap smear?: Are you referring to a Pap smear result of AGUS- "atypical glandular cells of undetermined significance"? If so, this is a cytologic description/category of Pap smear results. Basically the pathologist is saying there are some glandular cells that don't look " quite right". You should see your gynecologist who will most likely perform an exam called a colposcopy- basically looking at your cervix

Question 2

what binds to mast cells and causes them to degranulate?

Accepted Answer

Amongst others, IgE: IgE is an antibody that binds to the mast cell surface (aka "allergy antibody").  Its binding to an allergen causes the mast cell to deganulate. Non-IgE molecules can also cause mast cells to degranulate or just lower the threshold level for degranulation. These include signalling molecules (cytokines/hormones), drugs such as narcotics and NSAIDS, neuropeptides, tissue injury and microbes/toxins

Question 3

what causes squarmis cell carcinoma?

Accepted Answer

Depends on location: The most common form of squamous cell carcinoma (scc) occurs on skin, with sun damage being the leading cause.  Scc can also occur in the esophagus, lung, oral cavity, and anal canal.  Prolonged exposure to irritants such as smoking and chewing tobacco can lead to increased risk of scc in the lung and oral cavity.  A certain type of virus (human papillomavirus) can also increase the risk of scc.

Accepted Answer

No: An iud does not cause precancerous cells on the cervix.  However because occasionally iud can cause irritation on the cervix some women can have a mildly abnormal pap smear.

Many of the studies already done have biases or data that is not conclusive.
