Abstract

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been used as a cellular therapy for infectious and degenerative diseases due to their paracrine effect, immunomodulatory capability, high ability differentiation, and high plasticity. The paracrine effect of MSCs releases many growth factors and pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-10 (IL-10), enabling them to modulate the immune system. Nevertheless, there are many obstacles to maintaining paracrine effects in cellular therapy due to a shortage of cellular retention. MSC encapsulation provides a favourable environment for the enhanced viability of MSCs. Platelet lysate is comprised of many growth factors that support the paracrine effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). In this study, MSCs were encapsulated within alginate, crosslinked using calcium chloride (CaCl2), and subsequently coated with platelet lysate. Encapsulated MSCs coated by platelet lysate were cultured for 21 days and analyzed for IL-10 and TNF-α levels. The findings of our study performed that TNF-α in encapsulated mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) coated with platelet lysate increased until day 21. IL-10 was retained within the capsule and detected very in day 14. This study showed that encapsulated MSCs coated with platelet lysate affected paracrine effect TNF-α of MSC and retained IL-10 inside the capsule

Abstract

HIGHLIGHTS It was observed that autologous PRP substantially increased endometrial thickness in individuals experiencing infertility linked to a thin endometrium. The elevated clinical pregnancy rate emphasizes the favorable effectiveness of autologous PRP in addressing issues related to a thin endometrium in IVF programs.   ABSTRACT Objective: The objective of this research was to investigate the impact of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in enhancing endometrial thickness among individuals experiencing infertility associated with a thin endometrium. Materials and Methods: Nine individuals with a thin endometrium who participated in an in vitro fertilization (IVF) program were enrolled in the study. This study was carried out in Yasmin Clinic, Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia. Patients underwent a hormone replacement protocol involving the preparation of the endometrium with estradiol valerate. Treatment with PRP was initiated when the endometrial thickness was less than 7 mm. Autologous PRP was infused into the uterine cavity between the 10th and 12th days after administering estradiol valerate, and the assessment of endometrial thickness was conducted using ultrasound 48 hours later. A second administration of PRP was provided in cases where the endometrial thickness was below 7 mm. Frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) was performed if the endometrium reached adequate thickness (minimum 7 mm). Results: Seven of nine patients had adequate endometrial thickness followed by FET. Endometrial thickness was improved in 8 from 9 patients (88.8%). Five patients were improved at the first autologous PRP infusion (62.5%) and three patients (37.5%) at the second PRP infusion. The implantation rate was 33.3-100%, clinical pregnancy was 100%, and ongoing pregnancy rate was 83.3%. Conclusion: The use of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) successfully stimulates endometrial development in individuals with a thin endometrium during frozen-thawed embryo transfer.

Abstract

BackgroundThe endometrial preparation phase preceding embryo transfer assumes pivotal significance in achieving optimal endometrial receptivity and ensuring the success of pregnancy. The natural cycle (NC) and artificial cycle (AC) are the preferred methods for many in vitro fertilization (IVF) specialists. The objective of this study was to compare the difference between NC and AC in women undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) after IVF. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted involving 150 adult women who underwent FET with a single autologous blastocyst stage embryo in a 5-year period (2014-2019). Bivariate analysis was conducted to discern implantation and pregnancy rates associated with NC and AC for endometrial preparation. Multiple logistic regression was used to assess the association between endometrial preparation and clinical outcomes while adjusting for potential confounders. ResultsOf the 150 subjects meeting study criteria, 19 underwent NC, while 131 underwent AC for endometrial preparation. Natural cycle exhibited a higher biochemical pregnancy rates compared to AC (89.5% vs. 53.4%; p=0.003). Artificial cycle is a significant determinant for biochemical pregnancy rates compared to NC (aOR: 0.132;95% CI: 0.028 – 0.623; p=0.010) ConclusionIn women undergoing FET, NC resulted in higher biochemical pregnancy rates compared to AC. However, clinical pregnancy rates and ongoing pregnancies rates did not exhibit significant disparities between NC and AC. Future studies will hopefully further illuminate which protocol is most suitable for the individual patient. Further multi-center randomized clinical trials are needed to confirm the relationship between biochemical pregnancy rates and NC.

Abstract

Abstract Background Family planning remains a key intervention in reducing maternal mortality and creating prosperous families. Assessing the unmet need for family planning allows insight into the progress of family planning programs. On the other hand, there has been much less attention given to the declining fertility rate in Indonesia. To address both the unmet need and declining fertility rate in Indonesia, this study aimed to investigate the most recent trends in contraceptive use in Indonesia as well as evaluate fertility concerns and access to reproductive healthcare service. Methods Women of reproductive age in Indonesia were asked to fill in an online questionnaire. They were asked about sociodemographic characteristics, marital status, pregnancy history, perception towards fertility, and access to healthcare service and information. Descriptive statistics and independent t-test were performed. Results Of 370 women, more than half (57.8%) had used some form of contraception. The most frequently used contraceptive method was natural family planning (30.3%), followed by condom (20%). Women with no prior sexual history, had never been pregnant before, and had not been married cared more about having a child in the future. Internet and social media represented the most popular information source for family planning. Conclusions Many Indonesian women still prefer traditional contraceptive methods over the more effective modern contraceptive methods. Numerous socio-cultural factors are likely to influence the behaviour of reproductive-age women regarding contraceptive use and childbearing in the future. More effort should be put into raising awareness about modern contraceptive methods and addressing fertility concerns. Keywords: contraception; fertility; family planning; awareness; reproduction

Abstract

HIGHLIGHTS Among women with PCOS, many still reported persistent long COVID symptoms such as hair loss and fatigue. COVID-19 vaccination does not exacerbate symptoms of PCOS, which further emphasizes the importance of completing COVID-19 doses for women with PCOS to avoid long COVID sequelae.   ABSTRACT Objective: Long COVID, or the persistence of symptoms after acute COVID-19 illness, can affect individuals with pre-existing health conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Long COVID and PCOS may share overlapping pathogenesis which potentially exacerbate one another. The aim of this study was to evaluate the symptoms of long COVID in women with PCOS who have been vaccinated and investigate whether COVID-19 vaccination or infection worsened PCOS symptoms. Materials and Methods: We carried out a retrospective cohort study on 44 women with PCOS who have been vaccinated and previously diagnosed with COVID-19. Questionnaires were distributed to find out the effect of COVID infection and vaccines in these women, as well as the symptoms of long COVID-19. Results: Of all participants, 28 women (70%) continued to report persistent long COVID symptoms, with the highest number of complaints being fatigue and hair loss. The results, using Mann-Whitney test, showed that there was no difference in PCOS symptoms before and after COVID-19 vaccination (p = 0.520) or after COVID-19 infections (p = 0.241). Although this study revealed a substantial prevalence of long COVID symptoms among women with PCOS, an encouraging finding emerged: neither the administration of COVID-19 vaccination nor prior infection with COVID-19 had a significant impact on PCOS-associated symptoms. Conclusion: This study further underscores the importance of vaccination for all individuals, including women with a history of PCOS. Furthermore, the purpose of COVID-19 vaccination is to mitigate symptom severity, thus potentially diminishing the occurrence of long-term COVID-19 symptoms in future cases.

Abstract

Objective: To investigate the correlation between body composition parameters, adiponectin, leptin and the adiponectin/leptin ratio and the LH/FSH ratio in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Reproductive Cluster Yasmin, Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia, with sixty women with PCOS and sixty healthy women as controls (matched for age and BMI). Body composition parameters, including body weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist to hip ratio (WHR), percent body fat (PBF), visceral fat area (VFA), percent subcutaneous fat (PSF) and skeletal muscle mass (SMM), were measured; levels of fasting glucose, fasting insulin, testosterone, and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) were measured; and homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) values, anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), free androgen index (FAI), Ferriman-Gallwey (FG) score, adiponectin levels, leptin levels, adiponectin/leptin ratio, LH, FSH and LH/FSH ratio were measured. Results: Body composition parameters (body weight, BMI, WC, WHR, PBF, VFA, PSF, SMM) were not significantly different between women with PCOS and controls. Fasting insulin (P<0.05), HOMA-IR (P<0.05), AMH (P<0.01), FAI (P<0.01), FG score (P<0.01) and LH/FSH ratio (P<0.05) were higher in PCOS women. Adiponectin (P<0.01) was lower in PCOS women, while leptin and the adiponectin/leptin ratio were not significantly different between groups. Most of body composition parameters, adiponectin, leptin and adiponectin/leptin ratio were correlated with HOMA-IR in both groups. SMM was positively correlated with the LH/FSH ratio, while body weight, BMI, WC, PBF, VFA, and PSF were inversely correlated with the LH/FSH ratio in PCOS patients but not in controls. WHR was not correlated in either group. Leptin (r=-0.278; P<0.05) was negatively correlated with the LH/FSH ratio only in the PCOS group. Adiponectin (r=0.394; P<0.01) and the adiponectin/leptin ratio (r=0.413; P<0.01) were also positively correlated with the LH/FSH ratio only in the PCOS group. AMH was correlated with the LH/FSH ratio, whereas testosterone level, FAI, FG score, fasting insulin level and HOMA-IR value were not correlated with the LH/FSH ratio in PCOS women. Conclusion: Most of the body composition parameters, leptin, adiponectin and the adiponectin/leptin ratio were significantly correlated with HOMA-IR in both groups. However, correlations of those parameters with LH/FSH ratio were found only in PCOS but not in women without PCOS. Adiponectin and leptin may play a significant role in the mechanism of neuroendocrine disorders in PCOS, which is characterized by an increased LH/FSH ratio.
