Place of Selective Tubal Catheterization in the Management of Female Infertility in Togo

Objective: To determine the effectiveness of selective tubal catheterization in the management of female infertility due to proximal tubal obstruction. Method: This was a longitudinal descriptive study, conducted over a period of 24 months, which included 73 patients presenting with objectified bilateral proximal tubal obstruction after standard HSG. The intervention was performed on an outpatient basis, during the follicular phase with negative β-hCG assay the day before, in the interventional radiology room and under antibiotic coverage. Confirmatory hysterosalpingography was performed as the first step followed by selective tubal catheterization after the failure of spontaneous tubal opacification. The parameters studied related to socio-epidemiological, clinical and radiological data. Results: The age of our patients was between 24 and 42 years with an average of 33.97 years. The average duration of infertility was 3.95 years, with a predominance of primary infertility in 83.56% of cases. Voluntary termination of pregnancy (38.89%) and fibromyomas (33.33%) were the most represented gynecological-obstetrical antecedents. Selective tubal catheterization was successful in 92.14% of cases (129/140 tubes). It was possible bilaterally in 93.02% of cases and unilaterally in 6.98% of cases. The confirmatory HSG allowed a spontaneous opacification of 4.10% of the fallopian tubes. At the end of the procedure, all the recanalized tubes were opacified;62.01% of them were normal, against 37.99% pathological with a preponderance of inflammatory tubes 26.61% followed by hydrosalpinx in 5.03% of cases. No major complications were encountered. The fertility rate was 23.29%. Conclusion: Selective tubal catheterization is a simple technique, without major complications with an efficiency close to natural fertility. It should be proposed as the first intention before any other procedure in the treatment of infertility by proximal tubal obstruction.

Ultrasound Causes of Female Infertility at the Fertilia Medical Clinic in Bamako

Aims: Infertility is a major problem in our current societies and the Fertilia medical clinic in Bamako is a center for medical assistance in procreation (MAP) where there is an increasingly growing demand for ultrasound. The objective of our study was to investigate the ultrasound causes likely to prevent the occurrence of pregnancy in a group of infertile and subfertile women. Subjects and Methods: This was a 5-year cross-sectional and prospective study, between January 2017 and January 2022, which involved 250 women wishing to become pregnant (infertile or subfertile), who came for pelvic ultrasound or follicular monitoring and who agreed to participate in our study. The parameters used were ultrasound reports including uterine, ovarian and tubal pathologies. It should be noted that in some cases no ultrasound cause of infertility was found. Data were entered and analyzed in SPSS. Results: 250 women were recruited into our. The average age was 32 years with extremes ranging from 17 to 51 years. 179 patients or 71.6% were between 17 and 35 years old. 139 patients or 55.6% had secondary infertility against 44.4% primary infertility. 202 patients or 80.8% had at least one ultrasound lesion and 48 patients or 19.2% had no significant ultrasound abnormality. The most represented ultrasound lesions were of uterine origin with 72.20%, 23.7% ovarian lesions and 04% tubal lesions. Uterine lesions were dominated by myomas, adenomyosis, endometrial polyps, uterine malformations and synechiae. As for ovarian lesions we noted cysts, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), ovarian endometriosis, non-follicular ovaries and tubal ultrasound lesions showed unilateral or bilateral hydrosalpinx. Conclusion: In our study, ultrasound was an invaluable contribution to the diagnosis of the causes likely to explain subfertility and infertility in our respondents. She highlighted uterine, ovarian and tubal lesions, some of which could be corrected and pregnancies ensued.

A Retrospective Study of the Prevalence of Female Infertility in the Southwest Region, Cameroon

Background: Infertility is a major reproductive health care problem that affects the wellbeing of women. Although views vary between cultures, infertility is seen almost exclusively as a woman’s problem in Africa with secondary infertility being the most prevalent while sexually transmitted infections the most investigated cause of infertility. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of female infertility in the Limbe and Buea Regional hospitals of the Southwest region of Cameroon from 2015-2019. Materials and Methods: A retrospective descriptive design was used which involved studying clinical files of women within the reproductive age group (15 - 49) with infertility problems, at the gynaecological and maternity units of the selected hospitals in the Southwest region of Cameroon over a period of five years (2015-2019). Data were collected from all files included in the study. Results: A total of 4609 females visited the two hospitals for investigation and 1111 files were identified with infertility giving prevalence of 24 %. Three hundred and forty-three (343;31%) presented with primary infertility while seven hundred and sixty-eight (768;69%) had secondary infertility. The average age of affected female was 31.5 making age the predisposing factor of infertility because after the peak of 25 years, infertility started decreasing. Employment with salary and the association between diagnosis and age had a p-value < 0.005 which was considered significant in this study. Conclusion: This study found that the prevalence of infertility in Southwest Cameroon is high with secondary infertility being most predominant among infertile women with a prevalence of 69% caused principally by sexually transmitted infection (STIs). Age and occupation were significantly associated with infertility. Routine laboratory screening of women of reproductive age may reduce the high prevalence of infertility in the study area.

Aetiological Diagnosis of Infertility at Conakry University Hospital: Role of Hysterosalpingography and Pelvic Ultrasound

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the etiologies of infertility and to determine the contribution of hysterosalpingography coupled with ultrasound in the exploration of female infertility at Donka University Hospital. Methodology: This was a prospective descriptive cross-sectional study carried out in the Radiology Department of Donka National Hospital over a period of ten (10) months. It involved 78 women who came to the department for hysterosalpingography and/or pelvic ultrasound examinations, as part of the exploration of infertility. Data collection involved the use of pre-established survey forms to gather information on the parameters studied. Sociodemographic parameters, ultrasound and hysterosalpingography results were studied. A correlation was made between age at marriage and infertility to determine whether early marriage has an impact on primary infertility, with a statically significant result for p value greater than 0.05. Results: The mean age of our patients was 33.7 ± 5.6 years, with extremes of 18 and 35 years. The 18-35 age group was the most represented, with a frequency of 80.7%. The 34% of our patients were married before the age of 18, with a marriage duration ranging from 6 months to 15 years. The indication for investigations was dominated by secondary infertility, with a frequency of 65%, followed by primary infertility (35%). All our women underwent ultrasound-hysterosalpingography, i.e. 100%, in search of the cause of infertility. Ultrasound was pathological in 35.8%. The most common ultrasound lesions were myomas and ovarian dystrophies, with 12.8% each. However, hysterosalpingography was pathological in 35%. Tubal obstructions affected almost a third of our women (29.5%), followed by phimosis and tubo-peritoneal adhesions. Conclusion: Diagnostic evaluation of infertility requires a multidisciplinary approach, including collaboration between infertility gynecologists, radiologists and other infertility specialists. Medical imaging remains indispensable in the evaluation of female infertility.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Compound Mianbu Mixfang Is Effective in Treating Immunological Infertility: a Female Mice

Objective To study the therapeutic effectivess of Traditional Chinese Medicine compound mixture Mianbu Fang (Immunological infertility therapy) on immunological infertility caused by antisperm antibody (AsAb) in female mice. Materials & Methods Forty-two female Kunming mice were evenly divided into 7 groups by weight. Group A was control group; Group B was model of infertility. Group C, D and E were fed with normal, half and double dosage of Mianbu I respectively. Group F and G were fed with Mianbu II and prednisone Acetates respectively. Animal model of immunological infertility were set up by injecting mice sperm to the other 36 Kunming female mice except Group A. The AsAb levels in serum, cervical mucus were measured, the histological and immunohistochemistry changes in ovary and endometrium were observed, and the pregnancy indexes were compared in different groups. Results Compared with the infertility model group, the AsAb level in serum and cervical mucus in treatment group was lower. Less immune compounds in ovary and endometrium and atretic follicle of ovary was found in treatment group than in model and control group. The immune compounds in ovary and endometrium were less in the treatment group than that in the model and control group. Conclusion By regulating immunological system, Traditional Chinese Medicine compound mixfang Mianbu Fang lowers AsAb in the circulation system and special organs, eliminates immunological compound, repairs tissue impairment and increases pregnancy of female mice.

Interference with the C-terminal structure of MARF1 causes defective oocyte meiotic division and female infertility in mice

Meiosis-arrest female 1（MARF1） is a recently identified key oogenic regulator essential for the maintenance of female fertility and genome integrity in mice. However, the detailed functions and the underlying mechanisms of MARF1 remain elusive. Here, in an attempt to create a mouse model expressing fluorescent protein-tagged MARF1 to facilitate further exploration of the roles of MARF1 in oocytes, we produced a Marf1-eGFP knockin（KI） mouse line in which the C-terminal structure and function of MARF1 were interfered by its fusing eGFP peptide. Using these Marfl-eGFP-KI mice, we revealed, unexpectedly, the functions of MARF1 in the control of oocyte meiotic division.We found that the Marfl-eGFP-KI females ovulated mature oocytes with severe meiotic and developmental defects,and thus were infertile. Moreover, meiotic reinitiation was delayed while meiotic completion was accelerated in the KI-oocytes, which was coincident with the increased incidence of oocyte aneuploidy. Therefore, MARF1 is indispensable for maintaining the fidelity of homolog segregation during oocyte maturation, and this function relies on its C-terminal domains.

Detection of <i>Chlamydia trachomatis</i>and <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i>in Egyptian Women Suffering from Infertility

Chlamydial and gonococcal infections are recognized as two of the major causes of sexually transmissible human bacterial infection which may lead to infertility. In this cross sectional study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis among Egyptian women using different microbiological methods. One hundred and fifty cervical swabs were collected, of which 100 were from infertile women. Culture and ELISA technique were used for screening of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis individually. In addition, PCR was used for all examined samples. For C. trachomatis, 3 cases were positive for antigen detection by ELISA. Moreover, in obtained results of PCR, DNA was detected in 4 samples, and three of them from infertile group. So based on PCR results, the sensitivity and specificity of ELISA were 75% and 100% respectively. Furthermore, 3 samples were positive for gonococcal infections by PCR, and two of them were taken from infertile women. Positive results of two samples were verified by culture. The estimated sensitivity and specificity of culture method were 66.7% and 100% respectively. Results of this study indicate that PCR is a valuable method for detection of gonococcal and chlamydial infection and it is suitable for the confirmation of ELISA results for C. trachomatis diagnosis. Culture method is less sensitive than PCR for detection of N. gonorrhoeae. The prevalence of such infections is higher among infertile women.

The Endometrium Biopsy and Hystero-Laparoscopy in Evaluation of Women’s Infertility. A Prospective Study in Algeria

Female infertility is considered as a real obstacle to the development of a couple who cannot conceive in a natural way. The aim of this study is to evaluate female infertility using two complementary methods of exploration: hystero-laparoscopy and endometrial biopsy, to compare histopathological data with those of hystero-laparoscopy findings in the same patients, and finally assess the interest to couple both methods to detect a greater number of pathologies. Our prospective study included 64 patients aged 20 - 43 years with primary or secondary infertility for a period of 3 years ranging from 2012 to 2015 at obstetrics and gynecology department in which all patients were admitted to a hysteroscopy followed by laparoscopy. Endometrial biopsy curettage was performed and sent to the Pathological Anatomy Department for a histopathological study. On 64 infertile women explored, no pathologies were findings in 20 patients (31.3%) to the biopsy and 27 patients (42.2%) by hysteroscopy-laparoscopy. Histopathological study was in favor of dysfunctional endometrium (50%) followed by hyperplasia (10.9%). The lesions findings in the hystero-laparoscopy were in the first place uterine (18.8%) followed by equally between tubal and endometrial pathologies (10.9%). Associated diseases affecting the same organs or more were recorded with a percentage of 7.8%. The two methods have been shown effective and the most of common pathologies findings were uterine and endometrial. We concluded that the endometrial biopsy was more decisive in the exploration of endometrium pathologies while hystero-laparoscopy is more sensitive for the exploration of uterine, tubal and ovarian pathologies. Each method taken individually was revealed incomplete. It is more interesting to systematically couple the histology with endoscopic examination in order to detect a greater number of pathologies.

Hysterosalpingographic Findings among Patients Undergoing Infertility Work-Up in Kisangani, Democratic Republic of the Congo

Introduction: Hysterosalpingography is an important tool in the investigation of the causes of female infertility. In developing countries such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, the HSG is the basic tool for performing first-line anatomical (pelvic) assessment. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of the different lesions observed in hysterosalpingography carried out during the assessment of infertile women monitored in Kisangani. The study set also out to look for differences in these lesions according to the type of infertility. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Kisangani from June 2016 to December 2018. The 130 cases of hysterosalpingography performed for female infertility assessment during the study period were included, of which 33.07% for primary infertility and 66.93% for secondary infertility. Results: The mean age of the patients was 33.52 ± 6.01 years;the history of pelvic inflammatory disease was noted with a predominance for secondary infertility (11% vs. 4.65%). Using hysterosalpingography, 7 (5.38%) patients had a normal result;94 (72.31%) had tubal obstruction;25 (19.23%) had hydrosalpinx;11 (8.46%) had uterine fibroids;pelvic adhesions were suspected in 12.64% of cases. There was no obvious association between all these lesions and the type of infertility. Conclusion: We found that tubal obstructions were the most prevalent lesions in this study, regardless of the type of infertility. These lesions would reflect the high prevalence of septic abortions and sexually transmitted infections in developing countries such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

116 CASES OF TUBAL OBSTRUCTIVE INFERTILITY TREATED BY ACUPUNCTURE AND POINT-APPLICATION OF DRUGS

Clinically, itis proved that the combination of acupuncture with drugs has satis factory effects.

Assessment of the Microbiome Collected from the Reproductive Tracts of Women from Saudi Arabia and Its Potential Influence on Infertility

Background and Objective: Female infertility may be attributed to several causes that are fundamentally related to the health status of women. The main objective of this project was to correlate the abundance of the microbiota in cervicovaginal fluid to infertility. Materials & Methods: A total of 36 married women who voluntarily came to the hospital in Riyadh for a routine visit participated in the study. To collect the cervicovaginal liquid, a SoftcupTM menstrual device was used by the participant;the cup was then transported in a liquid nitrogen box to the laboratory for analysis. Results: The mean vaginal pH in normal women and infertile women was 3.96 and 5.06, respectively, and the difference between the two cohorts was significant (p 5.5, is primarily composed of G. vaginalis, P. anaerobius, Mycoplasma hominis, Mobiluncus species and Atopobium vaginae. The protein content and viscosity of the cervicovaginal liquid were significantly lower in infertile women compared to normal women (p < 0.05).

Guijiajiao(Colla Carapacis et Plastri,CCP)prevents male infertility via gut microbiota modulation

Male infertility is a significant cause of psychosocial and marital distress in approximately 50% of couples who are unable to conceive,with male factors being the underlying cause.Guijiajiao(Colla Carapacis et Plastri,CCP)is a Traditional Chinese Medicine commonly used to treat male infertility.The present study aimed to investigate the potential mechanisms underlying the preventive effects of CCP on male infertility.An infertile male rat model was established using cyclophosphamide(CTX),and CCP was administered for both treatment and prevention.Fecal microbiota transplantation(FMT)was also performed to explore the role of gut microbiota in the CCP-mediated prevention of male infertility in rats.Sperm motility and concentration were determined using a semiautomatic sperm classification analyzer.Subsequently,histopathological analysis using HE staining was performed to examine the changes in the small intestine and testis.Moreover,the serum levels of lipopolysaccharide(LPS)and testosterone were measured by ELISA.In addition,immunohistochemistry was conducted to detect CD3 expression in the small intestine,while RT-qPCR was employed to assess the expressions of interleukin-1 beta(IL-1β),cluster of differentiation 3(CD3),Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1),and C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10(CXCL-10)in the small intestine and epididymis.Finally,gut microbiota was analyzed by 16S rRNA sequencing.CCP improved sperm motility,number,and concentration in CTX-induced infertile male rats.CCP increased the serum testosterone level,inhibited the immune cell infiltration of the intestinal lamina propria,and promoted the aggregation of CD3+T cells in CTX-induced male infertility rats.CCP also inhibited the expressions of MCP-1,CXCL-10,and IL-1βin the epididymis of male infertility rats.At the genus level,CTX led to a reduction in the abundance of Lactobacillus,Clostridia_UCG.014,and Romboutsia in the intestinal tract of rats.In contrast,CCP decreased the abundance of Ruminococcus and increased the abundance of Romboutsia in infertile male rats.Additionally,FMT experiments proved that the gut microbiota of CCP-treated rats facilitated testicular tissue recovery and spermatogenesis while also reducing the serum LPS level in infertile male rats.CCP improves the spermatogenic ability of infertile male rats by restoring gut microbiota diversity and inhibiting epididymal inflammation.

Chinese Medicine as Complementary Therapy for Female Infertility

Chinese medicine (CM) has been used in clinical treatment for thousands of years in China, Japan, Korea, and other countries. CM is at present attracting many attentions around the world for reproductive health care and disease prevention, including treatment of female infertility. This review focuses on the CM treatment for female infertility patients, and supplies a summary on the efficacy, safety, and mechanism of some Chinese herbal medicines, herbal medicine-derived active compounds, and acupuncture. A large number of researches have reported that CM could alleviate or even cure female infertility by regulating hormone, improving reproductive outcome of in vivo fertilization, affecting embryonic implantation, curing polycystic ovarian syndrome, endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, relieving mental stress, and regulating immune system. Meanwhile, a few studies claimed that there was little adverse reaction of CM in randomized controlled trials. However, up to present there is a lack of adequate evidences with molecular mechanistic researches and randomized controlled trials to prove the CM as an effective and safe treatment for infertility. Thus, utility of CM as a complementary medicine will be a feasible method to improve the outcome of female infertility treatment.

Female Sexual Dysfunction and Timed Intercourse: A Prospective Study of 105 Infertile Women

Introduction: Timed intercourse (TI) based on ovulation monitoring is an effective and common choice for treatment of infertility. However, TI related female sexual dysfunction remains to be elucidated. Method and Material: This was a prospective study and 105 infertile women were included using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) to assess their sexual function in general sexual life (GSL) and TI cycle. Results: The mean age of the patients was 29.4 ± 3.4 years and the duration of infertility was 1.8 ± 0.5 years. The mean score of FSFI was 25.2 in GSL cycle and 24.5 in TI cycle (p = 0.008). Scores of 5 out of 6 domains of FSFI during GSL cycle were significantly higher than the counterparts during TI cycle. Female sexual function was related to stress, which mostly came from patients themselves and parents. The stronger the stress was, the more domains of FSFI were affected. Conclusion: Infertility is an important factor affecting female sexual function, especially TI condition reduced FSFI score in several domains, and this may be related to infertile stress.

The fate of surplus embryos in the setting of assisted reproductive technology:A scoping review

Objective:To identify the attitudes of infertile couples toward their surplus frozen embryos.Methods:This study was according to PRISMA-ScR as the guideline for scoping review.Studies that assessed the attitudes of patients or infertile couples who had surplus embryos were included.We conducted systematic searches in English studies from April 2011-April 2021 using 7 databases:PubMed,Science Direct,EBSCO,Scopus,the Cochrane Library,Sage Journals,and Google Scholar.Data were charted based on author,year of publication,country,purpose,data collection,key findings,and research focus/domain.Results:A total of 37 research articles were included in the analysis.Their attitudes encompassed:supporting the donation of the surplus embryos for both research and reproductive purposes,continuing to store the frozen embryos,and disposing of the surplus embryos.Conclusions:Most of the infertile patients support donating their surplus embryos for research and reproductive purposes.

PCR analysis of Yq microdeletions in infertile males, a study from South India

AIM: To estimate the frequency of microdeletions in the long arm of Y-chromosome of 20 infertile males from South India. METHODS: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification using Y-specific STS of azoospermia factor (AZF) regions i.e., SY 84 for AZFa, SY 127 for AZFb and SY 254 for AZFc. RESULTS: Of the 20 infertile subjects 3 (15 %), one azoospermic and two oligozoospermic, showed microdeletions in the AZF region of Y-chromosome. CONCLUSION: The frequency of deletions involving AZF region of the Y-chromosome is 15 % in azoospermic and severely oligozoospermic infertile men. PCR amplification of AZF locus is useful for the diagnosis of microdeletions in the Y-chromosome.

Update Knowledge Assessment and Influencing Predictor of Female Fertility Preservation in Oncologists

Objective:This study aims to offer an update assessment of the knowledge of Chinese oncologists on female fertility preservation,and identify the determinants that influence the implementation of fertility preservation.Methods:A total of 713 Chinese oncologists with different specialties completed the online self-report questionnaire to assess their understanding of fertility risks in cancer treatment,knowledge on female fertility preservation,and perceptions on the barriers in referring patients for fertility preservation.Results:Although most oncologists were familiar with fertility risk in cancer treatment,half of them lacked the knowledge for reproduction and preservation methods.In the multivariable model,oncologists in a hospital with a specialized reproductive institution,positive precaution for fertility risk,and fertility preservation discussion with patients were significantly correlated with the possibility of fertility preservation referral.Conclusions:The intervention targets based on the update evaluation and identified influencing determinants will be helpful for all the oncofertility researchers,oncologists and institutions in future efforts for well-established female fertility preservation services.
