Ultrastructural Study on Apoblema in Termination of Early Pregnancy by Pai Pei Tang and Mifepristone / 中医杂志

ABSTRACT

To elucidate the mechanism of Pai Pei Tang in combination with mifepristone in termination of early pregnancy, samples of apoblema (5 each) were collected from the Pai Pei Tang group, mifepristone group, Pai Pei Tang and mifepristone group (N = 68) and routine artificial abortion group (N = 22). We found that atrophy of the decidua and chorion was the utmost in the Pai Pei Tang and mifepristone group under the electron microscope. The result suggested that Pai Pei Tang could induce degenerative and atrophic changes in the decidua and affect the chorion directly.
