| Objective:To investigate effects of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation(TEAS) andXiaoyi Fang on MCP-1, IL-6and pregnancy outcomes of patients undergoing IVF-ETwith endometriosis (EM).Methods:We have90patients with EM, they are undergoing IVF-ET. They were divided into3groups, the control group (group A), the medicine group (group B) and the TEAS-medicinegroup(group C). There are25patients in group A,23in group B and25in group C. Nosignificant difference was found among the three groups of patients with general condition.In group A, we got serum and uterine endometrium of patients before IVF. In group B andC, we got serum and uterine endometrium of patients before and after treatment withmedicine and TEAS. We tested MCP-1and IL-6in serum and uterine endometrium,andinvestigated the effects of MCP-1and IL-6on EM and the influences of medicine andTEAS on immune system and pregnancy outcomes of patients.Results:1ã€It is omparable among general condition, MCP-1and IL-6before treatment in threegroups.2〠There are significant differences in MCP-1and IL-6of serum before and aftertreatment in group B and C.(MCP-1:P<0.05; IL-6:P<0.05).3ã€There are significant differences in MCP-1and IL-6of uterine endometrium beforeand after treatment in group A and C.(P<0.01). There are no significant differences inMCP-1and IL-6of uterine endometrium before and after treatment in group A and B.(p>0.05).4〠It is significantly higher in the fertilization rate (P<0.01), the number of good quality embryos (P<0.05) and the clinical pregnancy rate (P<0.05) in group C comparedwith group A. It is higher in the fertilization rate, the number of good quality embryos andthe clinical pregnancy rate in group C compared with group B, but there is no significantdifference. No significant differences were found in fertilization rate among three groups.Conclusions:1〠Xiaoyi Fang and TEAS reduce the MCP-1and IL-6in patients with EM andimprove the immune environment of patients.2ã€The effctes about xiaoyifang and TEAS is better than xiaoyifang.3ã€Xiaoyi Fang and TEAS increase the fertilization rate, the number of good qualityembryos and the clinical pregnancy rate in patients with EM undergoing IVF-ET. |
