Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effect of CO2 pneumoperitoneum with various pressures on the ultrastructure of the implanted lesions in rats model of endometriosis. Methods Endometriosis model was established in 30 SD rats by implanting self-endometria onto the peritoneum to form ectopic endometrial tissues. Then the animals were divided randomly into three groups (ten in each):control,10 mm Hg,and 20 mm Hg CO2 pneumoperitoneum groups (CO2 inflation lasted for 1 hour). One week after the procedure,the ectopic endometrial tissues were sampled for electron microscopy to determine the ultrastructure of cell organelle in the endometriosis glands and matrix cells. Results The electron microscopy showed that in the control group,the matrix cells lined up in order and the structure of the microvilli (MV) was normal; while in the 10 mm Hg and 20 mm Hg groups,the chromatin margination of glandular cells and mitochondria swelling were observed with reduced or vanished mitochondrial crista,the ultrastructural damages to the microvilli (reduced or vanished) were more apparent than the control,the cell junctions were widened or collapsed,and the matrix cells lined up disorderly. Compared to the 10 mm Hg group,ultrastructural damage to the glandular cells in the 20 mm Hg group was more severe. Conclusions CO2 pneumoperitoneum intervention can induce ultrastructural damage to endometriosis lesions. 20 mm Hg pressure of CO2 pneumoperitoneum can induce severer damage to the ectopic endometriosis tissues than 10 mm Hg.
