RESUMO

Background and Aims: The association of the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a promising novel biomarker for insulin resistance, with the risk of endometriosis has not been investigated to date. This nationwide study aimed to explore the association between the TyG index and the endometriosis risk. Methods: Data were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999-2006). Female participants who provided complete data on the TyG index and endometriosis were enrolled in the analysis. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were utilized to assess the association of the TyG index with endometriosis, adjusted by multiple potential confounders. Meanwhile, in-depth subgroup analyses were conducted. Results: A total of 1,590 eligible participants were included, among whom 135 (8.5%) women were diagnosed with endometriosis. The fully adjusted multivariate logistic model showed TyG index was significantly associated with the endometriosis risk (odds ratio [OR]Q4 versus Q1 2.04, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.15-3.62; P for trend=0.013). In subgroup analyses, the significantly positive association between TyG index and the risk of endometriosis was also found in parous women (ORQ4 versus Q1 2.18, 95% CI: 1.20-3.96), women without diabetes (OR Q4 versus Q1 2.12, 95% CI: 1.19-3.79), women who smoke currently (OR Q4 versus Q1 3.93, 95% CI: 1.33-11.58), women who drink currently (OR Q4 versus Q1 2.54, 95% CI: 1.27-5.07), and in women who use oral contraceptives (OR Q4 versus Q1 1.91, 95% CI: 1.04-3.51). Additionally, significantly increasing trends in the odds of endometriosis across the quartiles of the TyG index were observed in the above-mentioned subgroups (all P for trend<0.05). Conclusions: This population-based study found that a higher TyG index, representing an increased level of insulin resistance, was associated with a higher risk of endometriosis among the US population. Our findings suggested TyG index might be a promising tool for the risk assessment of endometriosis. Prospective studies are warranted to further verify these findings.

RESUMO

Endometriosis (EMs) is a prevalent gynecological disorder characterized by the growth of uterine tissue outside the uterine cavity, causing debilitating symptoms and infertility. Despite its prevalence, the exact mechanisms behind EMs development remain incompletely understood. This article presents a comprehensive overview of the relationship between gut microbiota imbalance and EMs pathogenesis. Recent research indicates that gut microbiota plays a pivotal role in various aspects of EMs, including immune regulation, generation of inflammatory factors, angiopoietin release, hormonal regulation, and endotoxin production. Dysbiosis of gut microbiota can disrupt immune responses, leading to inflammation and impaired immune clearance of endometrial fragments, resulting in the development of endometriotic lesions. The dysregulated microbiota can contribute to the release of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), triggering chronic inflammation and promoting ectopic endometrial adhesion, invasion, and angiogenesis. Furthermore, gut microbiota involvement in estrogen metabolism affects estrogen levels, which are directly related to EMs development. The review also highlights the potential of gut microbiota as a diagnostic tool and therapeutic target for EMs. Interventions such as fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) and the use of gut microbiota preparations have demonstrated promising effects in reducing EMs symptoms. Despite the progress made, further research is needed to unravel the intricate interactions between gut microbiota and EMs, paving the way for more effective prevention and treatment strategies for this challenging condition.

RESUMO

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the pathological effects of long-term postoperative endocrine medication on the endometrium in breast cancer patients. Methods: Data of 99 patients with primary breast cancer who underwent hysteroscopy and obtained endometrial biopsy from 1 June 2018 to 31 December 2021 at the Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University. Beijing Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital were prospectively collected. Results: Hysteroscopy was performed followed by endometrial histopathological examination in 99 breast cancer patients, including 44 taking tamoxifen (TAM), 26 taking other endocrine drugs, and 29 not taking endocrine drugs. The endometrial thickness in the TAM group was significantly higher than that in the other endocrine drug groups and the group not taking endocrine drugs (p=0.017). The receiver operating characteristic curves for the abnormal premenopausal endometrial thickening were plotted in this study; an endometrial thickness of 15.5 mm seen on ultrasound could be used as the most accurate ultrasound diagnostic threshold for the diagnosis of abnormal premenopausal endometrial hyperplasia, with an area under the curve of 0.888 (95% CI: 0.716, 1.000), a sensitivity of 100%, and a specificity of 75%, which was consistent with the results of our previous retrospective study. An endometrial thickness of ≥5 mm in postmenopausal women with breast cancer taking TAM was still used as the cut-off value for routine ultrasound diagnosis of abnormal postmenopausal endometrial hyperplasia. Conclusion: An ultrasound endometrial thickness (proliferative phase) of >15 mm in premenopausal patients can be used as the most accurate ultrasound diagnostic threshold for the diagnosis of abnormal endometrial hyperplasia. After menopause, an ultrasound endometrial thickness of ≥5 mm is still used as the criterion for diagnosing abnormal endometrial hyperplasia. Older patients should be monitored for signs of vaginal bleeding and fluid discharge, and hysteroscopy should be performed if necessary to ascertain the endometrial condition.

RESUMO

Background and aims: Chronic inflammation plays a significant role in the etiology of endometriosis, which might be affected by dietary intake. This study aimed to investigate the association between dietary inflammatory index (DII) and the risk of endometriosis. Methods: A cross-sectional analysis using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999-2006) was conducted on 3,410 American participants, among whom 265 reported a diagnosis of endometriosis. DII scores were calculated based on the dietary questionnaire. The association of DII scores with endometriosis was evaluated by adjusted multivariate logistic regression analyzes, which were further investigated in the subgroups. Results: In the fully adjusted models, the odds ratio (OR) for endometriosis participants in the highest and middle tertiles of DII scores were 1.57 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.14-2.17] and 1.18 (95% CI: 0.84-1.65), compared to the lowest tertile (P trend = 0.007). In subgroup analyzes, the significant positive association between DII scores and the endometriosis risk was also observed in non-obese women (ORtertile3vs1: 1.69, 95% CI: 1.12-2.55; P trend = 0.012), women without diabetes (ORtertile3vs1: 1.62, 95% CI: 1.16-2.27; P trend = 0.005), women with hypertension (ORtertile3vs1: 2.25, 95% CI: 1.31-3.87; P trend = 0.003), parous women (ORtertile3vs1: 1.55, 95% CI: 1.11-2.17; P trend = 0.011), and women using oral contraceptives (ORtertile3vs1: 1.63, 95% CI: 1.15-2.30; P trend = 0.006). Conclusion: This nationally representative study found that increased intake of the pro-inflammatory diet, as a higher DII score, was positively associated with endometriosis risk among American adults. Our results suggested anti-inflammatory dietary interventions may be promising in the prevention of endometriosis. Further prospective studies are necessary to confirm these findings.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate the survival outcome between different postoperative radiation and chemotherapy modes in locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC). METHODS: This study is a retrospective cohort study. A total of 150 patients with LACC underwent radical hysterectomy combined with postoperative radiation and /or chemotherapy from October 2009 to October 2019. Of those, 101 patients who received "sandwich" adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation (SCR) were enrolled into group A and 49 patients who received simple radiation were enrolled into group B. The primary outcome was the rates of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS: Of 150 patients, 95.3% (143/150) patients complete the study. The rates of deep myometrial invasion (92% and 72.9%, p = 0.007), lymph vascular invasion positive (74.3% and 26.5%, p = 2.59 × 10-8 ), positive surgical margin (11.9% and 0%, p = 0.012), and lymph-node involvement (40.6% vs. 4.1%, p = 4.0 × 10-6 ) at baseline were higher in the group A than group B. There was no difference between the follow-up time of group A and group B (45.81 ± 16.83 vs. 45.81 ± 16.84 months, p = 0.665). After the postoperative adjuvant, group A achieved the comparable PFS to group B [p = 0.40; hazard ratio (HR), 1.45; 95% CI, 0.62-3.38]. The cumulative rate of OS in group A was comparable in group B (p = 0.31; HR, 1.53; 95% CI, 0.68-3.45). CONCLUSIONS: Postoperative 'sandwich' chemotherapy and radiation could yield a similar survival rate to radiation alone in LACC women with high-risk factors such as deep interstitial infiltration, lymphatic vascular space infiltration, positive resection margin, and lymph-node metastasis.

RESUMO

The purpose of this study is to investigate short-term efficacy as defined by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) and pathological response of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) comprised of paclitaxel and cisplatin (TP) followed by radical surgery in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC).This is a prospective study involving 61 women with histologically confirmed LACC referred for NACT following radical surgery at Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital between April 2013 and January 2015.The efficacy of NACT was evaluated by the RECIST. The total short-term efficacy of NACT was 91.8% (complete remission and partial remission). The cervical invasion ≤1/2 was 82.4% in the complete remission (CR) group, 46.2% in the partial remission (PR) group, and 20% in the stable disease (SD) group. The difference between groups was statistically significant (P = .012). The slides of all surgical specimens were reviewed and classified according to the Tumor Regression Grade (TRG). The good response was defined by good short-term efficacy (RECIST) and the difference between groups was statistically significant (P = .042). The route of administration of NACT is a factor predicting response to NACT. A significant higher response rate (P = .011) and lower chemotherapy-related adverse events (P < .05) were observed in the artery intervention (AI) group compared to those received NACT via intravenous (IV) route. All patients were followed-up to the last day of 2015 with the median follow-up time of 21.5 months for NACT. For the 61 patients referred for NACT in LACC, 2 patients had relapsed and 1 patient died from the disease.The study showed that the NACT comprised TP for LACC treatment had a significant local effect. It could reduce tumor myometrial invasion and regress tumor. The route of administrating NACT is a predicting factor to the NACT response; 2 cycles of NACT of AI treatment to LACC patients would obtain a desired response with low chemotherapy adverse events.

RESUMO

The purpose of this prospective cohort study is to evaluate the importance of screening and its diagnostic accuracy compared with the pathological diagnosis of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) with vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VAIN).The prospective study enrolled 419 patients (pts) and was conducted between February 1, 2015 and January 31, 2016 at Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University.All enrolled pts underwent multipoint biopsy of cervix and vaginal wall directed by colposcopy. All samples of biopsy underwent pathological examination. Among them, 201 pts (48.0%) were diagnosed with CIN, 218 pts (52.0%) were diagnosed with cervicitis, and 51 pts (12.2%) were diagnosed with VAIN. It was found that the incidence of CIN in pts was 4 times higher than that of VAIN. In all 419 patients enrolled, 218 pts had cervicitis with 13 pts (6.0%) of VAIN. There were 201 pts of CIN with 38 pts (18.9%) of VAIN: including 53 pts of CIN3 with 12 pts (22.6%) of VAIN; 49 pts of CIN2 with 9 pts of VAIN (18.4%), and 99 pts of CIN1 with 17 pts of VAIN (17.2%). The incidence of CIN with VAIN (18.9%) was significantly higher than cervicitis with VAIN (6.0%) (χ = 16.39, P = .00). Our results showed that there was a significant consistency between cervical lesions and vaginal lesions (χ = 135.91, P = .00), which indicated that the increase of CIN grades may be related to an increase of the VAIN grades. Our results also showed the significant (p < .05) increase of CIN and VAIN with age (<40 years Kappa = 0.04; 40-50 years Kappa = 0.11; >50 years Kappa = 0.28).This study showed that cytological test can be used as a routine screening method for cervical lesions and vaginal diseases. If the cytology result shows abnormality, and pathological examination confirms that there is no obvious abnormal cervical disease, colposcopy directed vaginal multipoint biopsy should be conducted to exclude vaginal disease. All patients of CIN should routinely undergo vaginal multipoint biopsy (1/3 upper vagina), especially in patients with high-grade CIN and age older than 50 years.
