Abstract:
Objective Intrauterine adhesions cause serious damage to women′s reproductive health, to establish animal dis?ease mode, pure mechanical damage is the most similar cause to human pathogenesis, that is very necessary to conduct prospective studies. The study aimed to investigate the efficiency and significance of different mechanical damage methods to establish intrauterine adhesions model in rats. Methods 45 female SD rats were randomly( random number table) divided into three groups:pure scratch group (n=15), 2 mm diameter curet was used to scrape endometrial tissue; Incision?suture group (n=15), a longitudinal incision was made in the uterus, a blade was used to scrape endometrial tissue, the incision was then sutured with absorbable thread;Control group ( n=15) , sham operation, then the abdomen was closed after exposed to air for 20 minutes, the uterus were not injured. Endometri?al keratin immunohistochemical staining, Intrauterine AFS score, fi?brosis semi?quantitative score and pregnancy outcomes were observed to compare the injury of the two methods in establishing the model. Results ( 1) The degree of endometrial glandular epithelium keratin staining decreased significantly in both pure scratch and incision?su?ture groups compared to the control group. (2) AFS scores in pure scratch group and incision?suture group[3.0 (2.0-3.8), 5.0 (3.8-8.0)] were higher than control group[0 (0-0)], the difference was statistically significant (P<0.017); Incision?suture group was higher than pure scratch group, but the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.017). Endometrial fibrosis semi?quantitative scores in pure scratch group and incision?suture group[5.0 (4.0-5.3), 6.5 (5.8-8.0)] were higher than control group[0 (0-0)], the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.017);Incision?suture group was higher than pure scratch group, but the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.017). (3) Embryo number in pure scratch and incision?suture group side [0.5 (0-3.3), 0 (0-2.3)] was lower than the normal side [7.6 (6.8-8.0), 8.0 (7.8-9.0)],the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05) Conclusion Pure mechanical damage including pure scratch and incision?suture method to establish IUAs model were feasible. Both of the two methods could help to do research about pathogenesis and pathophysiological mechanisms of IUAs. Incision?suture method maybe can cause heavier fibrosis degree.
