Objective: Uterine artery occlusion (UAO) is a minimally invasive approach often used to treat symptomatic uterine myomas. This study aimed to compare the clinical effects of laparoscopic UAO (LUAO) in combination with laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) with LM alone to treat symptomatic multiple uterine myomas.

Methods: This was a prospective observational study.

Article Synopsis
  • * Results showed significant improvement with all 82 lesions successfully ablated, reducing pain—intermittent pain disappeared within a month, and pain scores dropped significantly by the one-year mark.
  • * The use of ultrasound contrast agents proved to be safe, with only minor complications like temporary skin sensations and no severe adverse effects, suggesting it is a beneficial method for monitoring HIFU treatment effectiveness.

Objective: To evaluate the long-term clinical effect of high-intensity focussed ultrasound (HIFU) as a non-invasive modality for ablation of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) foci.

Methods: All women who were diagnosed with cutaneous endometriosis and underwent HIFU ablation and 4-year follow-up were included. Patient symptoms, imaging performed, HIFU ablation, recurrence, lesion location, size and number were collected and analyzed.

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of GnRH-α pre-treatment with HIFU ablation for diffuse adenomyosis.

Methods: From January 2014 to December 2016, 61 patients were divided into two groups. Twenty-three patients with larger uteri received pre-treatment with GnRH-α and were then subjected to HIFU, and 38 patients underwent HIFU alone.

Objective: To explore the dynamic changes of adipocytokines and its correlation with insulin resistance during different stages of normal pregnancy.

Methods: Sixty-seven healthy pregnant women (18 first, 19 second and 30 third trimester) as experimental groups and 46 healthy age-matched non-pregnant women as a control group were investigated in a case-control cross-sectional study. Serum soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor (sTNFR) was determined by enzyme linked immunoadsorbent assay (ELISA).
