1.Comparison of IVF Outcomes in Patients with Endometriosis According to Severity.
Korean Journal of Fertility and Sterility 2006;33(4):219-227
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of endometriosis on IVF-ET cycles and to compare IVF outcomes between stage I/II and stage III/IV endometriosis. METHODS: We analyzed 697 patients (1,199 cycles) with endometriosis (stage I-II: 638 cycles, stage III-IV: 561 cycles) and 325 pts (459 cycles) with tubal factor as controls between January 1994 and April 2004. Pts with endometriosis were diagnosed by laparoscopy and medical and surgical treatment were done in 353 cycles (55.3%) and 466 cycles (83.1%) of stage I-II/stage III-IV endometriosis. Cycles with age>35 years or FSH>20 mIU/mL or severe male factor infertility were excluded. RESULTS: The number of retrieved oocytes (9.97+/-7.2 vs. 13.4+/-7.9 (p<0.0001)), total number of embryos (6.5+/-4.8 vs. 9.1+/-5.6 (p<0.0001)), and good quality embryos (2.43+/-1.6 vs. 2.74+/-1.7 (p=0.013)) significantly decreased in stage III-IV endometriosis than in control. But pregnancy rate of stage III-IV endometriosis was comparable with control (35.7% vs. 36.8%). Fertilization rate and number of total embryos were lower in stage I-II endometriosis than in control (64.8+/-22.9 vs. 70.8+/-20.8 (p<0.0001), 7.6+/-5.0 vs. 9.1+/-5.6 (p<0.0001)). In patients with medical and surgical treatment of endometriosis, pregnancy rate and live birth rate was significantly lower in stage I-II than in stage III-IV endometriosis (29.2 vs. 36.2 (%), p=0.045, 23.9 vs. 31.5 (%), p=0.043). There was no difference in the mean age, but the duration of infertility was significantly longer (56.5+/-26.3 vs. 46.9+/-25.8 (mon), p<0.0001) and fertilization rate was lower (64.7+/-23.3 vs. 70.5+/-22.7 (%), p=0.001) in stage I-II than stage III-IV endometriosis. CONCLUSION: We suggest that IVF should be considered earlier in patients with minimal to mild endometriosis because of significantly decreased fertilization rates.

Endodermal sinus tumors are an uncommon malignancy in children and occur most often in the gonads and sacrococcygeal region. In these locations, thy are found as primary tumors ; in teratoma they form part of the malignant component. We present CT and MR imaging findings in two cases of endodermal sinus tumor occurring after the resection of a mature benign cystic sacrococcygeal teratoma during the neonatal period. Awareness of the transformation of a benign cystic teratoma to a different type of malignant germ cell tumor may be helpful in the evaluation of sacrococcygeal masses.

We herein report a case of occupational contact urticaria syndrome induced by cefotiam di-hydrochloride in a nurse. She had generalized pruritic wheals accompanied by palpitations and tachypnea during the preparation of cefotiam solution. A scratch patch test with cefotiam di-hydrochloride, a major component of cefotiam ingredient showed multiple erythema and wheals within 5 minutes, accompanied by palpitations and tachypnea. No delayed type reaction was observed. Based on her clinical history and scratch test result, we diagnosed her condition as contact urticaria syndrome caused by cefotiam.
