A comparison of reproductive outcomes of patients with adenomyosis and infertility treated with High-Intensity focused ultrasound and laparoscopic excision.

The aim of this study was to compare the treatment effects of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and laparoscopic excision (LE) in patients with adenomyosis and infertility. A total of 93 patients with adenomyosis and infertility who were treated with HIFU (50 patients) or LE (43 patients) from January 2012 to January 2017 at the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical characteristics including dysmenorrhea severity pain score, menorrhagia severity scores, reproductive outcomes, complications during pregnancy and delivery, adverse effects, surgical complications, and other clinical variables were compared between the HIFU and LE groups.

[Peritoneal fluid leptin concentration and endocrine hormone in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome].

Objective: To determine whether the infertile patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is related to dysregulation of peritoneal fluid and serum leptin concentration, and to investigate the relationship between the leptin and some endocrine hormones in PCOS.

Methods: Twenty subjects with PCOS and 20 control women were included in the study. Peritoneal fluid and serum concentration of leptin, insulin, insulin-antibody, testosterone (T), estrogen (E(2)), and progestogen (P) were measured by radioimmunoassay (RIA).
