Impact of uterine artery embolization on ovarian function and pregnancy outcome after uterine-fibroids treatment:A prospective study

Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that originate from smooth muscle cells of the uterus.It is the most common gynecological disorder,affecting up to 80%of women of reproductive age.Uterine fibroids can cause various symptoms such as abnormal uterine bleeding,pelvic pain,infertility,and pregnancy complications.The treatment options for uterine fibroids include medical therapy,surgical intervention,and minimally invasive techniques.AIM To compare ovarian function of women with uterine fibroids who did or did not undergo uterine artery embolization(UAE).METHODS This prospective cohort study enrolled 87 women with symptomatic uterine fibroids who underwent UAE,and 87 women with the same symptoms who did not undergo UAE but received conservative management or other treatments.The two groups were matched for age,body mass index,parity,and baseline characteristics of uterine fibroids.The primary outcome was ovarian function that was evaluated by serum levels of follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH),luteinizing hormone(LH),estradiol(E2),and anti-Müllerian hormone(AMH),as well as ovarian reserve tests,such as antral follicle count(AFC)and ovarian volume(OV).The secondary outcome was fertility that was evaluated based on the menstrual cycle,ovulation,conception,pregnancy,and delivery.The participants were followed-up for 36 months and assessed at 1,3,6,12,24,and 36 months after treatment.RESULTS The study found that the most common minor complication of UAE was postembolization syndrome in 73.6% of women,resolving within a week.No significant differences were observed between the UAE group and the control group in serum levels of reproductive hormones(FSH,LH,E2,AMH)and ovarian reserve indicators(AFC,OV)at any point up to 36 months post-treatment.Additionally,there were no significant differences in conception,pregnancy,or delivery rates,with the average time to conception and gestational age at delivery being similar between the two groups.Birth weights were also comparable.Finally,there was no significant correlation between ovarian function,fertility indicators,and the type or amount of embolic agent used or the change in fibroids posttreatment.CONCLUSION UAE resulted in significantly positive pregnancy outcomes,no adverse events post-treatment,and is a safe and effective treatment for uterine fibroids that preserves ovarian function and fertility.

hucMSC-derived exosomes protect ovarian reserve and restore ovarian function in cisplatin treated mice

Anti-cancer therapy often causes premature ovarian insufficiency and infertility as the ovarian follicle reserve is extremely sensitive to chemotherapy drugs,such as cisplatin.Various fertility preservation methods have been explored for women,especially prepubertal girls undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy due to cancer.In recent years,mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes(MSC-exos)have been reported to play an important role in tissue repair and the treatment of various diseases.In the current study,we observed that human umbilical cord-derived MSC-exos(hucMSC-exos)after short-term culture improved follicular survival and development while receiving cisplatin treatment.Moreover,intravenous injection of hucMSC-exos improved ovarian function and ameliorated inflammatory environment within the ovary.The underlying mechanism of hucMSC-exos on fertility preservation was associated with the down-regulation of p53-related apoptosis and their anti-inflammatory function.Based on these findings,we propose that hucMSC-exos may be a potential approach to improve fertility in women diagnosed with cancer.

Effect of Acupuncture and Jianpi Bushen Decoction on Ovarian Function and Metabolic Disorders in Patients with PCOS

Objective:To study the effects of acupuncture combined with Jianpi Bushen Decoction on ovarian function and metabolic disorders in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS).Methods:A total of 100 PCOS patients admitted in our hospital from October 2018-January 2020 were selected,and the patients were divided into the Jianpi Bushen Decoction group and the combined group with 50 patients each according to a completely random method.The patients in the Jianpi Bushen Decoction group were given Jianpi Bushen Decoction;the combined group was given acupuncture on the basis of the Jianpi Bushen Decoction group.Detection of follicle stimulating hormone(FSH),testosterone(T),pituitary prolactin(PRL),estradiol(E2),fasting insulin(FIN),fasting blood glucose(FBG),insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR),triglyceride Ester(TG),total cholesterol(TC),high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),endometrial thickness,ovarian volume,number of ovarian sinus follicles,C-reactive protein(CRP),procalcitonin(PCT).Statistical treatment is effective.Results:After treatment,FSH,T,PRL,FIN,FBG,HOMA-IR,TG,TC and LDL-C were lower in Jianpi Bushen Decoction group,and E2 and HDL-C levels were higher than Jianpi Bushen Decoction group(P<0.05).The endometrial thickness of the combined group was higher than that of Jianpi Bushen Decoction group,and the ovarian volume and the number of ovarian sinus follicles were lower than that of Jianpi Bushen Decoction group(P<0.05).The levels of CRP and PCT in the combination group were lower than those in the Jianpi Bushen Decoction group(P<0.05).The total effective rate of patients in combination group was higher than that in Jianpi Bushen Decoction group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Acupuncture combined with Jianpi Bushen Decoction has significant therapeutic effects on patients with PCOS,effectively improves patients'ovarian function,improves endocrine and metabolic disorders,and reduces inflammatory reactions,which deserves clinical promotion.

Regulation of ovarian function by the matrix metalloproteinase system

In most organs of mammals, cyclic remodelling of tissues after morphogenesis is minimal; however, reproductive tissues of female animals including endometrium, mammary gland, ovarian follicle and corpus luteum undergo growth, maturation and involution at various stages in the reproductive cycle or lifespan of the animal. Reconstruction of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is required for the dynamic tissue reorganization characteristic of these tissues. The ECM consists of proteinaceous and nonproteinaceous molecules that provide the tissue-specific, extracellular architecture to which cells attach. Furthermore, interaction of cellular receptors with proteins of the ECM can regulate cellular structure, second messenger generation and gene expression. Mainte-

Effects of chitooligosaccharide-zinc on the ovarian function of mice with premature ovarian failure via the SESN2/NRF2 signaling pathway

Chitooligosaccharide-zinc(COS·Zn)is a powerful anti-oxidant and anti-aging scavenger,whose anti-oxidative ability immensely exceeds vitamin C.Therefore,this study was aimed to investigate the protective effects of COS·Zn against premature ovarian failure(POF)and potential mechanisms.Female KM adult mice were divided into the following groups:a treatment group(150 mg·kg^(−1)·d^(−1) COS·Zn),a treatment group(300 mg·kg^(−1)·d^(−1) COS·Zn),a prevention group,two control groups and two CY/BUS groups.COS·Zn(150,300 mg·kg^(−1)·d^(−1))and COS·Zn(300 mg·kg^(−1)·d^(−1))were therapeutically and preventatively administered to POF mice in the treatment and prevention studies,respectively.All the groups were administered for 21 days.Fewer primary and secondary follicles were observed in the COS·Zn-treated groups(including the treatment and prevention groups)than those of the control groups.Meanwhile,the ovarian index and the levels of FSH and LH notably increased in the treatment and prevention groups compared with those in the CY/BUS group.The levels of MVH,OCT4 and PCNA in the treatment group(300·kg^(−1)·d^(−1) COS·Zn)and MVH in the prevention group remarkably increased compared with those in the CY/BUS groups.Meanwhile,the levels of P53 and P16 protein were down-regulated in the treatment and prevention groups compared with those in the CY/BUS groups.Additionally,the amounts of Sestrin2(SESN2)and SOD2 protein were obviously higher in the treatment group(150 mg·kg^(−1)·d^(−1) COS·Zn)than those in the CY/BUS groups.Similarly,the amounts of NRF2 and SESN2 protein were up-regulated in the prevention group.Besides,an increased GSH level was observed in the two treatment groups,compared with that in the CY/BUS groups,and the same trend was also present in the prevention group.Taken together,COS·Zn improves the ovarian and follicular development through regulating the SESN2/NRF2 signaling pathway.These results suggest the role of COS·Zn as a novel agent for the treatment and prevention of POF.

Tear Up the Paper Tiger and Rediscover Fertility and Ovarian Function

Follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH), as the main indicator of ovarian function, plays an important role in the clinical activities of gynecologic endocrinology. Although anti-Miillerian hormone and antral follicle count are also the indictors evaluating ovarian function, many clinicians are still relentless in their decision to impose the death penalty of ovaries when high FSH levels(especially more than 40 IU/L) are observed.We recently encountered four patients whose FSH levels were inconsistent with actual fertility because all patients had successfully conceived after treatment. In our study, we found the culprit(macro-FSH) of false-positive FSH levels by applying the polyethylene glycol protein precipitation technique. The biological functions of macro-FSH were further evaluated by using Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis. This study suggests that ovarian reserve function should be comprehensively assessed in clinic, and the causes of serum test indicators inconsistent with clinic should be identified.

Laparoscopic coring-type resection of noncommunicating broadly attached rudimentary horn with recurrent large ovarian endometriomas:A report of two cases

Rudimentary horn of the uterus is a rare congenital malformation that is characterized by significant anatomic variability.We report two cases involving women who presented with a broadly attached rudimentary horn and large ovarian endometriomas that were innovatively treated by laparoscopic coring-type dissection of the rudimentary horn of the uterus.This novel surgical approach ensured the integrity of the myometrium of the unicornuate uterus and avoided uterine rupture during pregnancy and ipsilateral ovarian function impairment.

Clinical observation of Kuntai capsule combined with Fenmotong in treatment of decline of ovarian reserve function

BACKGROUND Decreased ovarian reserve function is an ovarian hypofunction disease that occurs in women before 40 years of age,leading to a decline in fertility and perimeno-pausal symptoms,such as irregular menstruation,amenorrhea,infertility,de-creased libido,and autonomic nervous dysfunction.Fenmatong(FMT)is a com-pound mixture of estradiol tablets and estradiol didroxyprogesterone tablets,which can improve ovarian reserve function by supplementation of exogenous estrogen.However,this treatment has also been shown to cause breast pain,gastrointestinal discomfort,irregular vaginal bleeding,and changes in sexual desire.In severe cases,FMT can promote the development of breast cancer,endometrial cancer,and venous embolic disease.AIM To observe the effects of Kuntai capsules and FMT on endocrine indexes and uterine artery blood circulation in patients with decreased ovarian reserve func-tion.METHODS Patients(130)with decreased ovarian reserve function,who were treated in our hospital from May 2018 to May 2020,were divided into two groups:The FMT group,in which patients were treated with FMT,and the observation group,in which patients were treated with Kuntai capsules.Chinese medicine symptom scores,uterine artery blood flow parameters,ovarian ultrasound test indexes,pictorial blood loss assessment chart(PBAC)scores,and hormone levels were recorded,and total effective rates were calculated for both groups.RESULTS The total effective rate in the observation group was higher than that in the FMT group(P<0.05).After treatment,primary symptoms,including low menstrual volume,delayed menstruation,red color and thick consistency of menses,di-zziness,palpitation,weakness at the waist and knee,insomnia and excessive dreaming,irritability,and dryness and astringency of the pudendal canal in the observation group decreased,and scores for primary and secondary symptoms in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the FMT group(P<0.05).The systolic peak flow rate(PSV),end-diastolic flow rate(EDV),ovarian diameter,sinus follicle count,and resistance index(RI)of the uterine arteries in the observation group and FMT group increased after treatment.Notably,the PSV,EDV,ovarian diameter,and antral follicle count in the observation group were higher than those in the FMT group,whereas the RI in the observation group was lower than that in the FMT group(P<0.05).The PBAC scores in the observation and FMT groups increased after treatment,with that in the ob-servation group becoming significantly higher than that in the FMT group(P<0.05).After treatment,estradiol(E2)and anti-Mullerian hormone(AMH)levels increased,whereas follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH)levels decreased in the observation group and FMT group;E2 and AMH levels became significantly higher and FSH levels became significantly lower in the observation group than in the FMT group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Compared with FMT,Kuntai capsules promoted uterine artery blood circulation,improved menstruation,relieved symptoms,regulated endocrine function,and improved curative effects.

Ovarian Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma with Functioning Stroma Accompanied with Endometrial Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma: Immunohistochemical Study and Literature Review

Background: The ovarian tumors with functioning stroma are defined by the morphological presence of endocrine active cells in stroma, and the clinical, biochemical or pathological evidence of endocrine function. Case Report: The ovarian endometrioid adenocarcinoma with functioning stroma accompanied with endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma was found in 64-year-old post-menopausal woman complaining abnormal genital bleeding and mammary distention. Her preoperative serum 17?-estradiol level was high (53.2 pg/ml) while human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) level was within normal limit. Her right ovary with 8.8 × 5.3 cm in size and tan-yellow in color mostly consisted of solid tumor. Histologically, tumor was composed of estrogen receptor (ER)- and progesterone receptor (PgR)-positive, and androgen receptor (AR)-negative cancerous endometrial cells with aggregates of vacuolated foamy stromal cells resembling luteinized cells. These stromal cells contained lipid droplets, and was immunopositive for α-inhibin and 17?-estradiol. After surgery, serum 17?-estradiol level decreased and became normal (14.2 pg/ml). These findings indicate the production of steroid hormone (17?-estradiol) from the foamy stromal cells and may be correlated with the clinical symptoms. Furthermore, ER- and PgR-positive endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma developed synchronously. However, ovary and uterus were totally immunonegative for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Four other cases from the literature including ours are reviewed. Conclusion: Cancer cells were positive for ER and PgR in both ovary and uterus responded to steroid hormone produced by foamy stromal cells, which played a role in proliferation and progression of ovarian and endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, respectively.

从生物钟对卵巢功能的影响探析调周法的科学内涵

国医大师夏桂成教授立足于中医学天人相应的观点,重视女性生殖节律中的阴阳消长转化,创立“调整月经周期节律法”。女性的特殊生理现象表现在周期节律上,生物钟是产生和调节生物体生理行为和规律的内在机制,生物钟基因广泛表达于卵巢颗粒细胞、卵泡膜细胞及黄体细胞中,并且参与类固醇激素的合成、卵泡体细胞的分化、卵泡发育以及排卵等多个生理过程,在女性生殖内分泌中发挥重要作用。昼夜节律紊乱可导致女性月经失调、卵巢功能障碍、内分泌代谢紊乱等生殖疾病。中医时间医学与生物钟节律系统有共通之处,充分认识生物钟对女性卵巢功能的影响,揭示其科学的内涵,明确其调控方法和机制,对抵御生殖障碍性疾病,优化生育具有积极的促进作用。

目的:分析膈下逐瘀汤抑制NOD1(含核苷酸结合寡聚化域蛋白1)/RIP2(受体相互作用蛋白2)/NF-κB(核因子κB)信号通路继而调控气滞血瘀型子宫内膜异位症(EMT)模型大鼠卵巢功能,并最终影响病灶修复的可能机制。方法:将6只正常大鼠和30只成功造模的气滞血瘀型EMT大鼠进行分组:空白组、模型组、西药干预组,以及中药低、中、高剂量组,连续干预14 d,比较各组大鼠干预后信号通路指标、卵巢功能指标的差异。结果:与空白组相比,气滞血瘀型EMT造模大鼠的NOD1、RIP2、NF-κB均有增加,雌二醇(E2)、促黄体生成素(LH)对应增加、卵泡刺激素(FSH)降低(p<0.05)。与模型组相比,无论西药还是中药干预,NOD1、RIP2、NF-κB均下降,E2和LH对应下降、FSH增加(p<0.05)。中药组随着使用剂量的增加,NOD1、RIP2、NF-κB均有下降,E2和LH对应下降、FSH增加(p<0.05)。结论:膈下逐瘀汤能通过抑制NOD1/RIP2/NF-κB信号通路而导致E2和LH激素下降、FSH激素升高,且随着用药剂量增加,疗效相应增强。

桂枝茯苓丸联合亮丙瑞林对子宫内膜异位症患者卵巢功能及血清VEGF和MCP-1的影响

目的:观察桂枝茯苓丸联合亮丙瑞林对子宫内膜异位症患者卵巢功能及血清血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)和单核细胞趋化蛋白-1(MCP-1)的影响。方法:选取佳木斯市中心医院2021年1月—2023年4月收治的87例子宫内膜异位症患者,按照随机数字表法分为研究组和对照组。对照组(n=43)采用亮丙瑞林治疗,研究组(n=44)在对照组的基础上联用桂枝茯苓丸。比较两组临床疗效、卵巢功能、免疫代谢、细胞因子及子宫动脉血流参数。结果:研究组治疗总有效率高于对照组,子宫动脉阻力指数(RI)、搏动指数(PI)及VEGF、MCP-1、卵泡刺激素(FSH)、黄体生成素(LH)均低于对照组,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:桂枝茯苓丸联合亮丙瑞林治疗子宫内膜异位症的效果较好,能够改善患者卵巢功能、免疫代谢。

超声引导介入治疗卵巢子宫内膜样囊肿患者疗效及血清肿瘤标志物水平的研究

目的:探究超声引导介入治疗卵巢子宫内膜样囊肿患者的疗效及血清肿瘤标记物水平。方法:将本院2019年5月至2022年5月收治的80例卵巢子宫内膜样囊肿患者随机分为两组。对照组40例行腹腔镜囊肿剔除术,研究组40例行超声引导介入穿刺治疗。比较两组的临床疗效、手术时间、抗生素使用时间及住院时间;评价两组手术前后的血清肿瘤标志物水平及卵巢功能指标变化,观察两组术后1年的复发率。结果:研究组的临床疗效高于对照组(P<0.05);研究组的手术时间、抗生素使用时间及住院时间短于对照组(P<0.05);术后6个月,研究组的血清糖类抗原125(CA125)、糖类抗原199(CA199)、人附睾蛋白4(HE4)水平均低于对照组(P<0.05);术后6个月,研究组的雌激素(E2)水平低于对照组,卵泡刺激素(FSH)、黄体生成素(LH)水平高于对照组(P<0.05);研究组术后1年的复发率低于对照组(P<0.05)。结论:对卵巢子宫内膜样囊肿患者应用超声引导介入穿刺治疗可增强疗效,降低血清肿瘤标记物水平,改善卵巢功能,降低术后复发率。
