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.

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.

Oncological and Reproductive Outcomes of Fertility-sparing Surgery in Women with Early-stage Epithelial Ovarian Carcinoma:A Multicenter Retrospective Study

Summary:With delayed childbearing in women,preservation of fertility is an important issue for reproductive-age patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma(EOC).Fertility-sparing surgery(FSS)can be considered in patients with early-stage disease in order to preserve fertility and improve quality of life.In order to evaluate oncological safety,attitudes toward childbearing and reproductive outcomes in women with EOC who underwent FSS,this multicenter retrospective study was conducted.Between January 2005 and December 2014,total of 87 young women with FIGO stage I EOC were included,with their clinicopathologic parameters in relation to disease-free survival(DFS)and overall survival(OS)assessed.Attitudes toward childbearing,ovarian function and fertility were studied in women undergoing FSS(n=36).As a result,in contrast to radical sur ery,FSS did not affect prognosis by Kaplan-Meier curves(log-rank test;DFS:P=0.484;OS:P=0.125).However,two of the three recurrence cases and both death cases were in FSS group stage IC.All women undergoing FSS resumed regular menstrual periods after chemotherapy.Only 16(44.44%)had tried to conceive,and 17 pregnancies occurred in 15(93.75%)women.Among 20 women who did not attempt conception,the most common reason was not being married(70%),followed by already having children(15%).In summary,FSS is considered safe in young women with stage IA EOC.Regular menstruation and good obstetric outcomes can be achieved.This study also provides some insight into the attitudes and social factors regarding fertility in EOC patients.

Cold exposure induces ovarian dysfunction through endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated apoptosis

Background:Prior research has established that exposure to low temperatures adversely affects ovarian function,yet the precise mechanisms remain to be elucidated.Methods:Thirty experimental rats,each demonstrating two regular estrous cycles,were assorted randomly into three distinct groups:a control group,a cold exposure group,and a group treated with 4-phenylbutyric acid(4-PBA).To mimic the conditions of cold exposure,rats in the cold exposure and 4-PBA groups were subjected to immersion in ice water for 21 days.After 7 days of exposure to ice water,the 4-PBA group received intraperitoneal injections of a 20 mg/mL solution of 4-PBA at a dose of 100 mg/kg/day for 14 days.Estrous cycles were monitored via analysis of vaginal secretion smears.Serum hormone levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)kits.Ovarian morphology and the ultrastructure of granulosa cells(GCs)were evaluated using hematoxylin and eosin(HE)staining,and transmission electron microscopy(TEM),respectively.Apoptotic levels in GCs were quantified using a terminal deoxyribonucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling(TUNEL)kit.Expression of apoptotic markers,endoplasmic reticulum stress(ERS)indicators,and molecules associated with relevant pathways were assessed through immunohistochemistry,western blot,and quantitative realtime polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR).Results:Dysregulation of the estrous cycle was notable in rats exposed to cold.The cold exposure group exhibited significantly reduced levels of estradiol(E2)and progesterone(P)compared to controls,alongside an increase in follicular atresia and a reduction in the count of developing follicles.After cold exposure,enhanced apoptosis and ERS were evident,with activation of the protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase(PERK)/eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α(eIF2α)/activating transcription factor 4(ATF4)signaling pathway in ovarian.Notable changes were also observed in the ultrastructure of ovarian GCs,where both apoptosis and ERS levels were increased.Conversely,treatment with 4-PBA alleviated disturbances in the estrous cycle and hormonal imbalances,improved ovarian morphology,and alleviated apoptosis and ERS,effectively inhibiting the PERK/eIF2α/ATF4 pathway.Additionally,4-PBA treatment significantly improved the ultrastructure of GCs and alleviated apoptosis and ERS in these cells within the cold exposure group.Conclusion:These findings suggest that ERS plays a significant role in ovarian dysfunction induced by cold exposure,primarily through promoting apoptosis.

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.

Evaluation the effect of fertility-preserving surgery on young patients with malignant ovarian tumors

Objection： To evaluate the impact of fertility-preserving surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy on survival and fertility of young patients with ovarian malignant tumors. Methods： Retrospective analysis of 39 patients with ovarian malignant germ cell tumors, 23 patients with malignant epithelial tumors and 4 patients with sexual cord mesenchymal tumors receiving conservative treatments. Results： Two patients lost follow-up （we do not statistics them）. Fifty-nine among 64 patients were alive up to now （92.19%）. The overall survival rate for ovarian epithelial malignancies, malignant germ cell tumors and sexual cord mesenchymal tumors were 95.45%, 89.47% and 100% respectively. Fifteen patients received second operation and recurrence was found in 6 patients. Among the 59 surviving patients, 53 patients have normal menstruation. Thirteen patients among 20 patients who want to pregnant have 15 pregnancies and 9 successful deliveries. Conclusion： The management of fertility-preserving surgery on patients with ovarian malignant germ cell tumors, whatever the FIGO staging is, is a safe option. For patients with ovarian epithelial carcinomas, fertility-preserving surgery only confined to low-stage （stage Ⅰ）, low-grade （G1）, and patients who want keep fertility function seriously. Cisplatinum-based combination chemotherapy is necessary. Standardized chemotherapy has no affection on fertility function.

Endocrine and ovarian responses in water buffalo cows immunized against inhibin and subjected to the Ovsynch protocol

The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of stimulating ovarian fol icle development in order to improve fertility in water buffalo cows by immunization against inhibin. The experiment was carried out in early summer (May) and included 24 multi-parity crossbred Murrah-Swamp buffaloes that were divided into immunized (n=11) and control (n=13) groups. Each immunized cow was administered with a 2-mL immunogen of mineral oil adjuvant containing 2 mg of recombinant inhibinα-subunit fusion protein. The controls were treated with the adjuvant only. Al animals received Ovsynch protocol treatment, starting on the day of the antigen administration, and they were artiifcial y inseminated upon behavioral estrus. As a result, al of the immunized buffaloes generated antibodies against inhibin during the experimental period and had higher plasma concentrations of fol icle-stimulating hormone (FSH), activin, and estradiol (E2) related to estrous expression. A higher proportion of immunized animals expressed estrus behavior than did the controls (72%vs. 30%, P<0.05). On aver-age, inhibin-immunized buffaloes had signiifcantly more large fol icles (≥9 mm in diameter) than the controls (mean±SEM;1.2±0.1 vs. 0.84±0.1, respectively;P<0.05) and a slightly higher mean total number of fol icles (≥2 mm;11.4±0.7 vs. 9.0±1.1, respectively;P=0.09) and smal (2–4 mm) fol icles (8.81±0.6 vs. 6.84±1.0, respectively;P=0.12). A higher percentage of cows ovulated in the immunized group than in the control group (91%(10/11) vs. 54%(7/13), respectively;P<0.05). Moreover, inhibin-immunized cows had slightly larger corpus luteum (CL) than the controls 9 days after ovulation and signiifcantly higher (P<0.01) post-ovulation peak plasma progesterone (P4) concentrations. Immunization against inhibin also mar-ginal y increased the conception rate 42 days after insemination (45.8%vs. 15.4%;P>0.05). These results demonstrate that immunization against inhibin, coupled with the treatment with the Ovsynch protocol, can constitute a new technique to increase fertility in water buffalo cows.

目的探讨腹腔镜子宫肌瘤剔除术(LM)对子宫肌瘤患者盆底功能、卵巢功能的影响。方法纳入2021年1月至2022年10月濮阳市安阳地区医院收治的80例子宫肌瘤患者,按抽签法分两组。对照组40例行开腹子宫肌瘤剔除术(AM),研究组40例行LM,对比两组手术前后疼痛因子[心肌细胞P物质(SP)、前列腺素E_2(PGE_2)]、应激反应指标[去甲肾上腺素(NE)、皮质醇(COR)]、免疫功能指标(CD3^(+)、CD4^(+)、CD8^(+)、CD4^(+)/CD8^(+))、盆底功能指标[盆底障碍影响简易问卷7(PFIQ-7)]及卵巢功能指标[雌二醇(E_2)、促黄体生成素(LH)、促卵泡激素(FSH)]。结果术后1 d、术后3 d时,研究组血清SP、PGE_2、NE、COR水平低于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。术后1d时,两组CD3^(+)、CD4^(+)及CD4^(+)/CD8^(+)功能指标与术前相比均有所降低,但研究组明显高于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);而两组的CD8^(+)功能指标与术前相比有所升高,但研究组明显低于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。术后1个月、术后3个月时,两组PFIQ-7评分均有所升高,但研究组明显低于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。术后3个月、术后6个月时,研究组血清E_2水平高于对照组,而血清LH、FSH水平低于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论对子宫肌瘤患者行LM可有效减轻机体疼痛程度、应激反应及对免疫、盆底和卵巢功能的负面影响,优势较为显著,具有进一步的使用价值。
