Abstract

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis, which often causes infertility, is characterized by a complex interplay between oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and apoptosis. Currently, the most effective therapy used for endometriosis is hormonal treatments, however it has many common side effects. Therefore, it is necessary to explore alternative treatments for endometriosis, including herbal ingredients. Phaleria macrocarpa fruit contains flavonoids with strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties which have potency to improve fertility in endometriosis cases. However, assessments of whether P. macrocarpa might have any effect on oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and apoptosis in relation to endometriosis are still limited. This study was conducted to identify the effect of P. macrocarpa fruit ethanol extract (PMFEE) in improving infertility by assessing oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and apoptosis parameters in endometriosis mice model.METHODS: Female Balb/C mice were endometriosis-induced, and treated either with 6.5 µg/day Letrozole, 7.5 mg/kgBW/day PMFEE, or 15 mg/kgBW/day PMFEE for 14 days. Heatlhy mice were also included as control. Mice were necropsied, then the uterus and fat tissue around the uterus was collected. Malondialdehyde (MDA) as oxidative stress marker, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α as inflammatory marker, and Caspase-3 as apoptosis marker were assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).RESULTS: In uterus, MDA and TNF-α levels were significantly different among all groups (p<0.05). PMFEE both at 7.5 and 15 mg/kgBW/day lowered MDA and TNF-α compared to the healthy mice and mice receiving Letrozol. Meanwhile, Caspase-3 levels were quite indifferent among groups, showing that PMFEE was able to maintain the Caspase-3 levels in the endometriosis-induced mice.CONCLUSION: PMFEE reduces the MDA and TNF-α, also maintains Caspase-3 levels in the uterus of endometriosis-induced mice, suggesting it might have potential to improve fertility in endometriosis mice.KEYWORDS: Phaleria macrocarpa, endometriosis, infertility, MDA, TNF-α, Caspase-3

Abstract

Background: Assisted reproductive technology (ART) programs have proven to be a solution to help infertility couples to conceive. However, most couples face a financial crisis related to the relatively expensive cost of ART treatment. This service aims to educate about ART's meaning, direction, and procedures. Thus, couples want children to be able to understand the ART program at an affordable cost (low-cost) and undergo the ART program without any concerns about costs.Method: Seminar participants be given socialization in person and online through zoom software by the service provider. It is in two stages, in-person and online, so participants who cannot attend in person can follow this service program. In addition, participants are given a pre-test and post-test questions to assess their understanding of the ART program at an affordable cost.Result: The pre-test and post-test results were analyzed using Wilcoxon, which showed that after providing education about the ART program, the post-test results were significantly better than the pre-test results. Down value: 5.5%, fixed value: 15.2%, value rise: 79.3% with significance p<0.001.Conclusion: There are significant differences in the pre-test and post-test scores, which means that the participants understood the explanation the servicer gave.

Abstract

Background: The assisted reproductive technology (ART) program for examining infertile couples requires face-to-face with a doctor. This face-to-face examination for the ART program has a risk for the transmission of COVID-19 to all medical personnel and infertile couples who want to undergo the ART program. This study aims to understand pre- and post-test education about COVID-19 screening on ART services.Methods: A total of 50 infertile couples in the ART program are given education online. The use of online methods using the Zoom application due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Evaluation of the level of understanding using pre and post-test providing education. Data analysis was carried out using the SPSS 23 application.Results: Analysis of the level of understanding of pre-test and post-test education using the Wilcoxon test. Pre-test results were 69.90±12.05, post-test 73.00±10.83 with significance values p<0.001. Chi-Square test analysis results obtained p<0.001 and OR = 15.68.Conclusion: There was a significant increase in understanding of COVID-19 screening in the post-test education ART service via the Zoom application compared to pre-test education.
