OHSS: Acupuncture and Herbs can reduce probability

Correlation Study of Invigorating the Kidney and Regulating the Chong & Ren Vessel Method to Intervene the VEFG Level in Follicular Fluid and the Incidence of OHSS. A graduate thesis http://www.lunwentianxia.com/product.sf.3190537.1/ 论文简介:目的:1.观察补肾调冲法对接受体外受精(IVF)治疗的患者卵巢过度刺激综合征(OHSS)的预防效果及对患者卵泡液中血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)、雌二醇(E)水平的影响,并探讨其作用机理。2.探讨接受IVF治疗的患者卵泡液中VEGF的水平与OHSS的关系。 方法:1.入选66例接受IVF治疗的患者随机分为试验组(二至天癸颗粒合西药组)33例和对照组(西药组)33例,比较两组患者取卵日肾虚证侯较垂体降调节后的改善情况,患者用药后OHSS发生率的差异,HCG日血清E2水平,卵泡液VEGF水平,促性腺激素(Gn)用量,Gn天数的差异。2.比较发生OHSS的患者与未发生OHSS的患者卵泡液中VEGF、E水平的差异。3.比较两组患者卵泡液中VEGF、E水平的相关性及对照组患者卵泡液中VEGF水平与Gn用量的相关性。 结果:1.与对照组相比,试验组肾虚证侯明显改善,OHSS发生率降低。2.试验组卵泡液VEGF水平,Gn用量,Gn天数明显低于对照组。3.发生OHSS的患者卵泡液VEGF水平比未发生OHSS的患者水平高。4.两组患者卵泡液中VEGF、E水平有明显的相关性。对照组患者卵泡液中VEGF水平与Gn用量无相关性。 结论:1.补肾调冲法通过改善肾虚证侯明显降低OHSS发生,其机理可能与调控卵泡液中VEGF、E水平,激活卵泡液微环境VEGF、E活性有关。2.补肾调冲法可明显减少Gn用量,Gn天数,减轻病人的痛苦及经济负担。3.发生OHSS的患者卵泡液VEGF水平明显高于未发生OHSS的患者,提示VEGF可能参与了OHSS的发病机制;卵泡液VEGF水平可以作为预测OHSS发生的检测指标。4.在超促排卵过程中,VEGF是否可作为。肾阳虚水湿泛滥的监测指标有待进一步探讨。
