    Abstract ( 1945 )   PDF (490KB) ( 7400 )  
    Fallopian tube diseases was one of the important factors in female infertility, which included tubal proximal obstruction, distal adhesions, occlusion, hydrosalpinx, tubal pregnancy and sterilization. Reproductive microsurgery and in-vitro fertilization technology were primary therapy at present, being remedy each other. The therapy option, post-treatment intrauterine pregnancy, and outcomes of pregnancy, were affected by patient age, ovarian reserve, prior fertility, surgery history, number of children desired, site and extent of the tubal disease, semen analysis, presence of other infertility factors and surgeon experience. Patient preference, religious beliefs, cost, and insurance, should be considered. The therapy time, cost, safety, prognosis, and effect on future fertility, should be introduced to patients, which is helpful to develop a suitable protocol and time to achieve pregnancy.

    Abstract ( 2034 )   PDF (649KB) ( 7387 )  
    Objective: To investigate whether the embryonic stem cells(ESC) could selective implant into the uterine cavities of endometrium-injured mouse and help the endometrium reparation. Methods:The mouse model with freshly injured endometrium was established. ESCs derived from EGFP transgenic mouse were transplanted into the endometrium-injured mouse uterines. Then, the retention and the effects of ESCs on the reparation of injured endometrium and the tumorigenicity of post-transplanted stem cells were observed. Results:The ESCs survived in the uterine cavities more than 3 weeks with the rate of tumorigenicity increasing in time dependently. ESCs intravenous-injected could concentrated in the endometrium-injured uterine cavities and other injured parts of the body. Conclusions:Injury is the most important inducing factor of ESCs recruitment. However,the problems of inducing directional differentiation and managing the neoplasia of ESCs are remain unsolved.

    2012, 31 (6):  436-438. 
    Abstract ( 1838 )   PDF (742KB) ( 7381 )  
    Objective:To evaluate the effect of solid-surface vitrification (SSV) and slow-freezing on methylation profile of imprinted gene IGF-2/H19 DMR, and its effect on the expression of these two genes in follicles embedding in ovarian tissue. Methods:Human ovarian slices from 15 patients were randomly allocated to Fresh,SF and SSV groups. The methylation profile of imprinted gene IGF-2/H19 was assessed by MS-PCR. The expressions of IGF-2 protein and H19 RNA in follicles embedding in ovarian tissue from different groups were detected by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. Results:The methylation of ovarian tissue in F, SF and SSV group was 26.46%, 41.02% and 33.09%, respectively. The SSV and SF groups did not show significantly difference(P>0.05). The expressions of IGF-2 protein and H19 RNA in primordial and primary follicles among F, SF and SSV groups did not show significantly difference (P>0.05). Conclusions:There was evidence at present to indicate that cryopreservation of human ovarian tissue had adverse effect on the methylation profile of imprinted gene IGF-2/H19.

    LI Yu-bin;MAI Qing-yun;DING Chen-hui;ZHOU Can-quan
    2012, 31 (6):  439-441. 
    Abstract ( 2202 )   PDF (532KB) ( 7417 )  
    Objective:To investigate the relation between the serum testosterone level and basis ovarian endocrine and infertility treatment condition during IVF cycles in normal menstrual cycle women. Methods:495 cases who had IVF-ET cycles from March 2011 to July 2011 in our center were collected. Cases were divided into groups with different parameters, such as age, basis FSH, basis LH,FSH /LH ratio,and basis E2. Testosterone levels, and treatment of IVF cycles, were meticulously compared. Results:The testosterone levels were statistically different in those sub-groups which divided with age and basal FSH/LH ratio (P<0.05), while they were not statistically different in those sub-groups divided with basis FSH,basis LH,FSH/LH ratio, and basis E2(P>0.05). Among those groups with different testosterone levels,the numbers of retrieval oocyte and portable embryos in the IVF-ET cycles were significantly different(P<0.05). Conclusions:Serum testosterone levels were related to some classic indicators of ovarian reservation,such as age,FSH/LH ratio and oocyte number of super-ovulation. The serum testosterone levels can also influence the IVF-ET treatment results in women with normal menstrual cycle.

    CHEN Zhi-fang;TAN Li
    2012, 31 (6):  442-444. 
    Abstract ( 2134 )   PDF (688KB) ( 7357 )  
    Objective:To compare the expressions of progesterone receptor (PR) and progesterone induced blocking factor (PIBF) in the decidua tissues of early normal pregnancy and spontaneous abortion in early gestation stage. Methods:Twenty-five cases of early spontaneous abortion women (as the study group) and 20 cases of healthy women with early normal pregnancy (as the control group) were recruited. The expressions of PR and PIBF in the decidua tissues were detected by the streptavidin peroxidase immunostaining. Results:PR and PIBF expressed in the decidua tissues of both groups. There was no significant difference in the expression positive rates of PR and PIBF between two groups (χ2=0.002,P=0.975; χ2=0.006,P=0.950),but the expression intensity of PR and PIBF in the control group were stronger than those of the study group(Zc=2.261,P=0.020;Zc=2.463,P=0.010). Conclusions:The lower expressions of PR and PIBF in the decidua tissue could be associated with early spontaneous abortion,which reflected a pathway of the maternal complicated network related to early spontaneous abortion.

    Abstract ( 2227 )   PDF (603KB) ( 7303 )  
    Objective:To investigate the artificial abortion of adolescents under the age of 20 in Tianjin 2007-2011,and compare the differences between urban and suburban,so as to develop the more effective interventions. Methods:The data of 31 578 cases of artificial abortion from Tianjin urban (Tianjin Central Hospital of Gynecology and Obstetrics) and suburban (The Xianshuigu Hospital of Jinnan Region),from January 2007 to November 2011,were analyzed. The differences in the age,occupation and region of abortion of adolescents were compared. Results:The incidence of adolescents abortion was 4.46% in 1 157 cases in urban,while it was 6.78% in 383 cases in suburban. The main career was student in the urban group,while it was unemployed in the suburban group (P<0.01). In the past 5 years,the rate of adolescent abortion in the suburban group significantly increased (P<0.05),and the rate of abortion in those younger adolescents (≤18 years) also significantly increased (P<0.05). The rate of adolescent abortion in the urban group smoothly increased,but the rate of repeat abortion significantly increased (P<0.05),and the rate of abortion in those younger adolescents (≤18 years) rapidly increased (P<0.01). Conclusions:The rate of adolescent abortion in both urban and suburban increased in the past 5 years. In order to more effectively reduce adolescent abortion,we should focus on the reproductive health services according to the characteristics of different regions,and promote contraceptive knowledge.

    The Options in the Management of Young Poor Responders in In-vitro Fertilization
    ZHANG Wen-xiang;JIANG Hong
    2012, 31 (6):  455-457. 
    Abstract ( 2012 )   PDF (630KB) ( 7305 )  
    The quantity and quality of oocytes could be improved by the ideal stimulation protocol for poor responders. The prediction of compromised response prior to cycle initiation by a thorough assessment of ovarian reserve could allow a more appropriate selection of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation protocols for each individual patient. Several strategies have been proposed for clinical management of poor responders, such as gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist short protocol, gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist protocol, milder ovarian stimulation, nature cycle and in vitro maturation, but the so-called ideal stimulation protocol still remains a challenge. So, the randomized controlled prospective trials with large samples are necessary.

    WU Hui-hui;WU Long-qi;SHAO Xiao-guang
    2012, 31 (6):  458-461. 
    Abstract ( 1764 )   PDF (689KB) ( 7307 )  
    It is a big challenge to improve the outcome of in vitro fertilization-embryo transplantation(IVF-ET) of poor ovarian responders for reproductive physicians. With the development of assisted reproduction technology (ART),the knowledge of poor ovarian response was accumulated. However,the etiology was poorly understood. There is no consensus on the diagnosis. Moreover,there is much controversy on the treatment strategy of poor responders. This review provided the current evidence and opinion on adjunctive therapy for the poor ovarian responders. Adjunctive medicine included growth hormone,testosterone,dehydroisoandrosterone,luteinizing hormone,oral contraceptive pills and estradiol during the controlled ovarian hyperstimulation or the previous cycle with the same ovarian stimulation protocol,by which to improve the poor responders′ outcomes.

    TAN Wen-ya;CHEN Lei-ning;QUAN Song
    2012, 31 (6):  462-466. 
    Abstract ( 1895 )   PDF (662KB) ( 7322 )  
    The incidence of iatrogenic multifetal pregnancy was significantly increased as the development of assisted reproductive technology. Multifetal pregnancy increased the risk of premature delivery,miscarriage,low birth weight,twin transfusion syndrome and premature rupture of membranes. Those adverse events seriously affected the maternal-fetal outcome. Fetal reduction as an important remedial measures to control multiple pregnancy has been widely used to reduce complications and risks of maternal and child. This article reviewed the timing,means,methods,and impact on maternal and child of the multifetal reduction in recent years. Generally,the multifetal reduction operation was done via vagin in early gestation (7~8 weeks),while the selective multifetal reduction operation in 12~14 weeks. Transvaginal aspiration of embryo may be the most effective and safe. However,the operation itself may cause uncertain damage. Therefore,it is necessary to improve techniques of embryos culture,cryopreservation and thawing as well as embryo selection,and to choose the best transplantation timing,to reduce the occurrence of multiple pregnancy. At present,the selective single embryo transplantation was advocated.

    LI Qian;YING Qian;DING Zhi-de
    2012, 31 (6):  467-470. 
    Abstract ( 1916 )   PDF (764KB) ( 7380 )  
    Bisphenol A(BPA) is widely used for the manufacturing of polycarbonate plastic and expoxide resins in the modern industrial world. Meanwhile,it has potential estrogenic properties. Due to its broad and sufficient usage in the daily life,mammal including humans is widely exposed to BPA, which is a potential risk of health lesion. The results from laboratory experiments showed that the offspring or newborn animals would have some kinds of diseases such as precocious puberty,the abnormality in breast tissue development,prostatic hyperplasia and decline in spermatogenesis if the pregnant animals or newborns were exposed to BPA, which finally lead to premalignant lesions of breast tissue and severe lesions of genital tract. Besides,the clinical investigation also showed that BPA had some obvious adverse effects on human reproductive system, such as male sexual dysfunctions.

    2012, 31 (6):  471-474. 
    Abstract ( 1958 )   PDF (710KB) ( 7330 )  
    Bisphenol A (BPA) is widely used in food packaging and beverage material. BPA as one of environmental endocrine disruptors can interfere with human reproductive system and embryo development,even at the low concentration,so-called safe intake dose. Exposure of BPA at perinatal period will affect the embryonic development. Exposure of BPA of adults for a long time will also affect the reproductive health. The more dose of BPA exposure or the longer,the more effect in severity and range. Therefore,it is necessary to prevent BPA exposure at the early stage. We reviewed here the effects of BPA exposure on the development of reproductive system of individuals at different developmental stages,the different effects of different doses of BPA exposure.

    The Seminal Oxidative Damage and Antioxidant
    GUO Ying;XIN Ling;YU He-ming
    2012, 31 (6):  475-478. 
    Abstract ( 2012 )   PDF (697KB) ( 7338 )  
    Many studies were focused on the effect of oxidative damage and antioxidants on male reproductive system. Sperm physiological produces small amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which is necessary for fertilisation, acrosome reaction and capacitation. However, if the increased production of ROS exceed the increased elimination, peroxidative damage of the sperm plasma membrane and loss of DNA integrity typically occur, which leads to cell death and reduced fertility. There were many studies concerning the roles of antioxidants in the oxidative damage caused by the male reproductive problem. Antioxidant mainly acts through inhibition of ROS production or elimination of the excessive ROS to protect sperm, especially in vitro treatment in the absence of seminal plasma.

    YANG Ting;LI Li-fei;ZHANG Xue-hong
    2012, 31 (6):  479-483. 
    Abstract ( 1919 )   PDF (748KB) ( 7324 )  
    The long GnRH agonist protocol has been widely used during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) for in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). It is clear that gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist(GnRHa)was used to prevent the premature LH surge related to worse follicles and higher cancellation rate. GnRHa may affect the endometrium at the molecular level, which may be responsible for endometrial receptivity. Those factors and cytokines related with endometrium receptivity, such as integrinανβ3 and TGF-β, were discussed. Effects of GnRHa on the endometrium ultrastructure and granular cell apoptosis were also discussed. However,the role of GnRHa in endometrial endocrine,embryo invasion,and subsequent pregnancy remains controversial. This review on the GnRHa strategies during COH could help clinicists to design the rational and individual protocol of GnRHa.

    2012, 31 (6):  484-486. 
    Abstract ( 1833 )   PDF (686KB) ( 7253 )  
    Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)is defined as the glucose intolerance at different degree, which is firstly recognised during pregnancy. GDM affects 1%~10% of all pregnancies. It is associated with the increased rates of cesarean section,macrosomia and shoulder dystocia. Its etiology is relatively complex, while phathophysiological feature is insulin resistance. Visfatin, a peptide predominantly expressed in and secreted from visceral adipose with the effects of mimical insulin and inflammatory factor,has a substantial role in the glucose homeostasis. Recent studies indicated that visfatin was one of the adipocytokines which closely related to the incidence of GDM.

    Clinical Application of Metformin in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
    NING Bing-xue;LA Xiao-lin
    2012, 31 (6):  487-490. 
    Abstract ( 2004 )   PDF (773KB) ( 7308 )  
    Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects 6.6%-6.8% of women in reproductive age. Insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia play a critical role in the pathogenesis of PCOS, which are associated with a high risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiometabolic abnormalities. According to its mechanism, metformin can improve insulin sensitivity,reduce hyperinsulinaemia and mediate other clinical symptoms of adult PCOS patients. Metformin is mainly used for losing weight,alleviating insulin resistance,regulating the menstrual period, and treating infertility. In puberty PCOS patients, metformin is used for reducing cholesterol,triglycerides,abdominal and visceral fat. In PCOS women with pregnant, metformin can lower the risks of gestational diabetes,gestational hypertension,preeclampsia, and improve neonatal outcome without any serious side effects. Overall,many available data supported that metformin could lower the cardiometabolic risk , and improve reproductive outcome, in PCOS women.

    Progestin-only Contraceptive-depot,Medroxyprogesterone Acetate Contraceptive Injection,and Skeletal Health
    GAI Ling;ZHANG Mei-hua;GAI Ping;LIU Xia
    2012, 31 (6):  491-494. 
    Abstract ( 2126 )   PDF (689KB) ( 7289 )  
    Depo-Provera Contraceptive injection (Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate,DMPA) is a progestin-only contraceptive that provides highly effective,private,long-acting contraception. But,it may reduce bone mineral density (BMD) and increase osteoporosis risk. In 2004,the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a Black Box Warning “women who use Depo-Provera Contraceptive injection may lose significant bone mineral density. Bone loss is greater with increasing duration of use and may not be completely reversible.” In 2010,FDA emphasized again the effect of DMPA on BMD on their website. Therefore,researchers concern whether DMPA is harmful for bone health. Effect of DMPA on bone health was reviewed.
