Abstract

Objective: To investigate the reproductive benefits of combining laparoscopic surgery with GnRH-agonist hormonal therapy in treating women with endometriosis. Methods: This is a non-randomized prospective analytic study of patients with endometriosis conducted in a private hospital in Bandung during the period of January 2014 to December 2015, whom were later followed up after 12-24 months for assessment of post-surgical reproductive performance. A total of 121 patients were enrolled, 60 of which received post-surgical GnRH-agonist hormonal therapy. Results: We discovered that 56 women (46.3%) eventually achieved spontaneous conception after surgery but upon further analysis, it was discovered that GnRH-agonist played no significantly meaningful role in improving the spontaneous pregnancy rates of these patients (OR 1.539; 95% CI 0.750-3.159; p-value 0.239). Furthermore, even though there was a wide range as to when they achieved conception, those untreated with hormonal therapy tended to conceive far more quickly than those who were (5.91 ± 6.28; 8.56 ± 4.24; p-value: 0.011). Conclusion: Post-laparoscopic GnRH-agonist administration to women with endometriosis does not significantly improve their chances of spontaneous conception. In fact, such administration seems to delay it. [Indones J Obstet Gynecol 2017; 5-2: 87-93] Keywords: endometriosis, GnRH-agonist, laparoscopy

Abstract

Oxidative stress is a factor that contribute in pathogenesis of endometriosis. This condition could also implicated in infertility. Lycopene is a carotenoid that has antioxidant activity. Supplementation of lycopene can reduce oxidative stress in peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis. This study aims to compare the effect of lycopene on malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis. It is an experimental study on peritoneal fluid from five women with endometriosis. The result show that lycopene supplementation affecting the MDA levels in peritoneal fluid. MDA levels in peritoneal fluid with lycopene is lower than without lycopene. It conclude that lycopene is proved lowering MDA levels in peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis. Keywords: endometriosis lycopene, malondialdehyde

Abstract

Relaps, resistance and metastasis has become prominent problems that oncologists and cancer patients have to dealt with. Various studies have been done previously concluded that there are a subpopulation of cancer cells, identified as cancer stem cell, most likely to be the cause of relaps, resistance and metastasis of cancer. Cancer stem cell is a subpopulation of cancer cells that possess tumorigenicity, hence it can initiate the growth of tumor. Cancer stem cell has been suspected to be originated from normal stem cells reside in mature tissues, or from progenitor cells that gone through some series of alterations on its characteristics, including mutagenic and non-mutagenic changes. As seen in normal stem cells, cancer stem cell is also oftenly found in its inactive state. Therefore, cancer stem cell is not affected when it treated with many chemotherapeutic agents that are targeting cancer cells that proliferate extensively. Eventually, this event leads to the incidence of cancer relaps on cancer patients who already had series of cancer therapy. Based on this knowledge, it can be concluded that the only absolute way to overcome the incidence of metastasis, resistance and relaps on cancer patients, is to targeting cancer stem cell. Therefore, optimization on protocols of cancer stem cell identification and isolation strived continously. Some molecular markers that are oftenly used as a standard on cancer stem cell isolation are CD34, CD44 and CD133. In line with that, isolation methods that are based on sphere formation and the absorption of coloring dye could also be done to obtain cancer stem cell population. This review article would like to explain the nature of cancer stem cell existence, the pathology underlies its formation, characteristics and identification techniques that are commonly used, and challenges that have to be faced by scientists and physicians in order to optimize the application of cancer stem cell theory for the progress of science and patients sake.

Abstract

Highlights LAH might effectively increase pregnancy outcomes for frozen-thawed embryo transfer. Zona pellucida drilling might help increase pregnancy outcomes in FET.   Abstract Background:  Zona Pellucida (ZP)  thickness of less than 16 mm is better for embryo implantation inside the endometrium. Laser Assisted Hatching (LAH) is commonly used, especially in non-contact mode, using a 1.48-um infrared diode laser beam because of its short exposure time, accurate positioning, simple operation, indirect contact, safety, and effectiveness. Objective:  This paper describes the potential of laser-assisted hatching in biochemical pregnancy outcomes in Frozen Embryo Thawed transfers. Material and Method: The total number of patients enrolled in this study was 141. Patients were prospectively treated during embryo transfers at Pusat Fertilitas Bocah Indonesia, Primaya Hospital at Tangerang, Indonesia, from December 2020 until December 2021. Result:  There were no significant differences between the LAH and no-LAH groups regarding average age, infertility duration, infertility type, and etiology of infertility (p>0.05). In the same line, the blastocyst (0.76 ± 0.87; 1.25 ± 1.08) compared with cleavage (0.72 ± 0.84; 0.67 ± 0.98) (p<0.534 and p< .032). There was no significant difference, even though clinically, the proportions of live births, multiple pregnancies, biochemical pregnancies, and ongoing pregnancies in the LAH group were not exceptions to the outcomes of failures and miscarriages. Conclusion:  LAH did not appear to increase the pregnancy rate in this study. However, the methodology seems to reduce bias in this study by considering methodology for selecting FET embryos based on the cryopreserved condition, embryo quality, and precise LAH.
