Abstract:
Objective:To observe the effects of different intervention schemes on the expression of adhesion-related cytokines, menstrual recovery and clinical outcome of patients after transcervical resection of adhesion (TCRA) .Methods:180 patients received TCRA in our hospital from Feb. 2022 to Feb. 2023 were divided into group A, group B and group C according to different post-operative intervention programs, with 60 patients in each group. Patients in group A were treated with artificial cycle of estrogen and progesterone after surgery. On this basis, patients in group B were placed with a uterine birth control ring, and patients in group C were injected with sodium hyaluronate gel into the uterine cavity. The grade of uterine cavity adhesion, improvement rate of menstruation and pregnancy outcome at 2 months after operation and pregnancy outcome within 1 year after surgery were compared between the three groups at 2 months after operation. The relative mRNA expression of endometrial tissue transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1), platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB), tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) at uterine cavity adhesion in each group were detected and compared.Results:At 2 months after surgery, the uterine adhesion rates in group A, group B, and group C were 43.33%, 15.00%, and 11.67%, respectively. There was no significant difference in the uterine adhesion rates between group B and group C ( P>0.05), but they were significantly lower than those in group A ( P<0.05) ; Meanwhile, the degree of intrauterine adhesions in group B and group C was significantly milder than that in group A ( P<0.05). The menstrual improvement rates of group A, group B, and group C at 2 months after surgery were 76.67%, 93.33%, and 96.67%, respectively. There was no significant difference between group B and group C ( P>0.05), but they were all significantly higher than group A ( P<0.05). At 2 months post surgery, the relative expression levels of TGF-β1, PDGF-BB, TIMP-1, and bFGF mRNA in the endometrial tissue at the site of uterine adhesions in group A were 0.77±0.26, 0.58±0.27, 0.54±0.15, and 0.62±0.14, respectively. In group B, they were 0.37±0.16, 0.37±0.14, 0.26±0.11, and 0.29±0.10, respectively. In group C, they were 0.32±0.16, 0.21±0.09, 0.27±0.08, and 0.34±0.18, respectively. The relative expression levels of cytokines in each group were significantly lower than during surgery ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the relative expression levels of various cytokines mRNA between group B and group C at 2 months after surgery ( P>0.05), but both were significantly lower than group A ( P<0.05). The pregnancy success rates within 1 year after surgery in group A, group B, and group C were 40.00%, 55.00%, and 58.33%, respectively. The pregnancy success rate in group C was significantly higher than that in group A ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The application of metauterine contraceptive ring or sodium hyaluronate gel on the basis of estrogen and progesterone treatment after TCRA can effectively prevent postoperative re-adhesion of patients with intrauterine adhesions, improve clinical symptoms, and reduce the expression level of adhesion cytokines. The effects of the two schemes are equivalent.
