Objective: The purpose of this study of 109 myomectomies is to evaluate the feasibility, limits and results in term of fertility of the laparoscopic myomectomy.
Material And Methods: Retrospective study from January 1990 to December 1993, including 109 patients having had a myomectomy, 39 by laparotomy (35,7%) and 70 by laparoscopy.
Results: The average number of myomas extracted by laparoscopy and by laparotomy were 1.5 and 6.7 respectively. The diameter of the major myoma was 7 cm in the laparotomic group versus 6.2 cm in the laparoscopic group. Among 70 myomectomies approached by laparoscopy, 29 (41,4%) have necessitated a laparoconversion. The reason of this conversion was mainly the size of the myoma (superior 5 cm) in 21 cases, the number of myomas (superior 5) in 6 cases, the interstitiel location of the myoma in 1 case and a per-operative hemorrhage in 1 case. Among 109 patients having had a myomectomy, 60 (55%) desired a pregnancy including 22 patients having laparoscopy myomectomy. Among these 22 patients, 8 have been pregnant (36.4%) allowing 9 pregnancies (4 deliveries, 4 missed abortions and 1 intrauterin fetal death).
Conclusion: Our results confirm that the laparoscopic myomectomy would have to be reserved to patients presenting to the most 4 myomas with a diameter < or = 7 cm. Results in term of fertility of the laparoscopic myomectomy are similar to these of patients having a laparoconversion.

Background: Incorporating organic manure improves soil properties and crop productivity. A long-term study started in October 1967 examined the effects of farmyard manure and nitrogen fertilization on the soil at key growth stages of pearl millet in a pearl millet-wheat cropping system over its 51st cycle.
Results: Applying 15 Mg of farmyard manure (FYM) per hectare in both growing seasons significantly boosted soil organic carbon (SOC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and key nutrients compared to one-season application.

In middle-aged (MA) female rats, we have demonstrated that intrahypothalamic gene therapy for insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) extends the regular cyclicity of the animals beyond 10 months (the age at which MA rats stop ovulating). Here, we implemented long-term OSKM gene therapy in the hypothalamus of young female rats. The main goal was to extend fertility in the treated animals.

To explore biomarkers for the efficacy of lymphocyte immunotherapy (LIT) treating women with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA). Serum samples from 24 URSA potients who received LIT were collected at Peking University Third Hospital from December 2014 to June 2015. Semiquantitative sandwich-based antibody arrays containing 40 cytokines were used to screen target immune cytokines in the peripheral blood of URSA patients before and after LIT.

Phosphorus (P) availability in soils is often constrained by its accumulation in non-labile phosphorus (NLP) forms, limiting its accessibility to plants. This study examines how soil physical properties, chemical characteristics, and climatic conditions influence phosphorus fractionation and the transformation of NLP into plant-available labile phosphorus (LP). Utilizing global structural equation modeling (SEM), we found that silt content enhances organic phosphorus fractions, including NaHCO-Po and NaOH-Po.

Inflammation disrupts the normal function of granulosa cells (GCs), which leads to ovarian dysfunction and fertility decline. Inflammatory conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), primary ovarian insufficiency (POI), endometriosis, and age-related ovarian decline are often associated with chronic low-grade inflammation. Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is an important precursor of NAD and has gained attention for its potential to modulate cellular metabolism, redox homeostasis, and mitigate inflammation.
