Our objective was to study the association between PCOS phenotypes and IVF/ICSI results in women admitted to Gynaecological Endoscopic Surgery and Human Reproductive Teaching Hospital (CHRACERH). Material and Method: We carried out a cohort study with historical-prospective data collection over a period of seven years (January 2016 to March 2023) at Chracerh. PCOS patients were subdivided into 4 subgroups A, B, C and D. Results: We recruited 128 patients including 64 PCOS patients divided into four phenotypes and 64 non-PCOS patients constituting the control group. Phenotype D without hyperandrogenism had used the lowest dose of gonadotropins, i.e. 1939.7 ± 454.3 IU, and had produced a greater quantity of estradiol on the day ovulation was triggered (6529.8 ± 4324.8 ng/ml). The average number of punctured follicles and mature oocytes were higher in the phenotype D group. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) occurred mainly in phenotype D (3/35), with an estimated prevalence of 2.3%. The fertilization rate seemed lower in the hyperandrogenic phenotypes A, B, C compared to the group without hyperandrogenism without significant difference (p = 0.461). The biological pregnancy rate and live birth rate were comparable between the different groups. Conclusion: Phenotype D used less dose of gonadotropins. Biological pregnancy and live birth rates were comparable between the different phenotypes.展开更多

Methods: This was a prospective randomized trial involving 150 women with PCOS attending the Infertility Clinic at three hospitals in Malaysia. During the initial visit, anthropometric measurements and baseline investigations were performed. Patients were randomized to 5.0 mg Letrozole daily (75 patients) or 100 mg Clomiphene citrate daily (75 patients) from the fifth until the ninth day of menstruation. Serial transvaginal scans were performed to see the dominant follicles, endometrial thickness and number of follicles. Transvaginal scans were performed serially to look for evidence of ovulation. Results: The subjects were homogenously distributed. The difference between Letrozole and Clomiphene citrate for ovulation rate was 59 (78.7%) versus 40 (53.3%). Patients taking Letrozole exhibited a mean endometrial thickness (ET) at mid cycle of menses (Day 11-D14) of9.2 mm(SD ± 2.3) versus8.4 mm(SD ± 2.2) for patients taking Clomiphene citrate, and these differences were statistically significant展开更多

The aim of this study is to determine hormonal imbalance in women with PCOS in teaching hospitals in Ekiti State, Nigeria. Samples of 110 females (50 freshly diagnosed PCOS subjects and 60 healthy subjects) between the ages of 25 - 45 years old were collected from Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital, Ado Ekiti and Federal Teaching Hospital, Ido Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria. Serum Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Total Testosterone, Prolactin, Progesterone, Estradiol and Insulin were evaluated in subjects’ blood sample using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results obtained were subjected to statistical analysis (p < 0.05). The PCOS subjects showed significant increase (p < 0.05) in the concentrations of Total Testosterone, Insulin, LH, Estradiol and LH/FSH ratio, while FSH and progesterone concentrations showed significant decrease (p < 0.05) in comparison with the healthy control group. However, there was no significant difference in the concentration of Prolactin when compared with the healthy control group. Also, the PCOS subjects’ age at Menarche was significantly decreased (p > 0.05) when compared with the healthy control group. Hormonal values obtained in this study indicates hormonal imbalance in PCOS. Further investigation into novel helpful markers is required as it might help in achieving the therapeutical target in PCOS management research.展开更多

Both patients had the ...This paper reports the beneficial effect of twice daily ingestion (a table spoonful) of dried Kigelia africana fruit powder in the management of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) in two patients. Both patients had the classical triad of Amenorrhoea, acne and hirsutism. The two were 25 years old and 22 years old spinsters respectively. The ultrasonography was suggestive only in the latter;unfortunately there were no facilities to do the confirmatory serum enzymes assay. The use of herbal preparation restored the menstrual flow in both of them as well as leading to significant reduction in the acne but there was no noticeable effect on the hirsutism. There was no observable side effect associated with the use of the powder. These preliminary data thus suggest that Kigelia africana fruit powder may be beneficial for cases of PCOS especially in the developing countries where the new generation oral contraceptives, presently being used for the condition, may not be readily available.展开更多

文摘Objective:To investigate the effect of abnormal ovarian granulosa cell metabolism on in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer(IVF-ET)outcomes in obese polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)patients.Methods:Patients with PCOS who met the study criteria were screened according to the inclusion criteria.A total of 32 patients with obese PCOS were recruited into the study group,and 39 patients with non-obese PCOS were recruited into the control group.The general data(age,body mass index,and years of infertility),insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR),follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH),luteinizing hormone(LH),granulosa cell mitochondrial function,and IVF-ET outcome of patients in the study group and control group were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The differences in age and years of infertility between the study group and the control group were insignificant(P>0.05),and the body mass index(BMI)of the study group and control group was 30.5±1.24 kg/m2 and 22.3±1.12 kg/m2,respectively,in which the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);the HOMA-IR of the study group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05);the reactive oxygen species(ROS)in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05),and the ATP content in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05);comparing the FSH and LH levels between the two groups,the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05);the rate of IVF-ET failure was significantly higher in the study group than in the control group.Conclusion:PCOS is a complex endocrine disorder,and obesity is one of the independent risk factors for the development of PCOS.
文摘目的探究穴位埋线对两种肥胖类型PCOS患者炎性因子及生殖指标的影响。方法将2020年1月—2021年1月于山东中医药大学附属医院妇科门诊诊断为多囊卵巢综合征(肾虚痰湿证)肥胖患者63例作为研究对象。将患者按照不同肥胖类型分为均匀性肥胖组(A组,WC<80cm,n=33)和腹型肥胖组(B组,WC≥80,n=31)。两组均给予穴位埋线配合炔雌醇环丙孕酮治疗,对比3个月后两组的性激素(E_(2)、T、FSH、LH),炎症因子(TNF-α、hs-CRP、APN、IL-6),卵巢功能(卵巢体积、AMH、INHB),子宫内膜容受性(子宫内膜厚度、PI、RI),并统计治疗后患者的体质量、BMI、治疗后2个月排卵率、妊娠率。结果治疗后,均匀性肥胖组(A组)和腹型肥胖组(B)组T(0.74±0.07 VS 1.05±0.13)ng/mL,LH(10.43±1.07 VS 14.08±0.95)mIU/mL,IL-6(17.84±0.36 VS 21.06±1.34)ng/L,TNF-α(16.19±1.61 VS 19.95±0.95)ng/L,hs-CRP(4.75±0.35 VS 6.66±0.27)ng/L,卵巢体积(10.7±0.64 VS 11.31±0.62)cm^(3),PI(2.33±0.10 VS 2.55±0.13),RI(0.62±0.04 VS 0.74±0.03),体质量(63.83±2.87 VS 69.47±3.29)kg,BMI(24.23±1.46 VS 26.35±1.31)kg/m^(2)均显著降低(P<0.05),且均匀性肥胖组(A组)降低明显(P<0.05)。均匀性肥胖组(A组)和腹型肥胖组(B)组APN(57.15±3.6 VS 48.16±1.52)pg/L,FSH(7.24±0.86 VS 6.66±0.81)mIU/mL,E_(2)(98.75±4.63 VS 70.19±23.61)pg/mL,子宫内膜厚度(8.95±0.22 VS 8.29±0.29)cm,AMH(8.60±0.54 VS 7.56±0.55)ng/dL均显著提高(P<0.05),且A组(均匀性肥胖组)提高明显(P<0.05)。A组(均匀性肥胖组)的排卵率为80%,高于B组(腹型肥胖组)的40%(χ^(2)=10.00,P=0.000)。A组(腹型肥胖)的妊娠率60%,高于B组(腹型肥胖组)的33.3%(χ^(2)=4.29,P=0.04)。结论穴位埋线联合炔雌醇环丙孕酮能够改善PCOS(肾虚痰湿证)肥胖患者的性激素、卵巢功能、子宫内膜容受性,其机制可能与改善机体炎症状态相关。均匀性肥胖组改善更明显。提示,穴位埋线治疗均匀性肥胖PCOS效果更好,临床应针对腹型肥胖PCOS患者特点,采取更精准的治疗措施。
文摘This paper reports the beneficial effect of twice daily ingestion (a table spoonful) of dried Kigelia africana fruit powder in the management of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) in two patients. Both patients had the classical triad of Amenorrhoea, acne and hirsutism. The two were 25 years old and 22 years old spinsters respectively. The ultrasonography was suggestive only in the latter;unfortunately there were no facilities to do the confirmatory serum enzymes assay. The use of herbal preparation restored the menstrual flow in both of them as well as leading to significant reduction in the acne but there was no noticeable effect on the hirsutism. There was no observable side effect associated with the use of the powder. These preliminary data thus suggest that Kigelia africana fruit powder may be beneficial for cases of PCOS especially in the developing countries where the new generation oral contraceptives, presently being used for the condition, may not be readily available.
