Objective: We present a physics-based, temperature and state-dependent electrical conductivity model for soft biological tissue under thermal therapies with a quantified damage parameter that represents the state of soft biological tissue (degree of denaturation). Most existing models consider electrical conductivity to be only temperature-dependent and evaluate tissue damage during post-processing after temperature calculation. Our model allows tissue damage to be coupled into the thermal model for a more accurate description of both RF ablation and electrosurgery. Methods: We model the denaturation process with an Arrhenius-type differential equation for chemical kinetics and a modified Stogryn equation for electrical conductivity under state transition. We present experimental data from two types of heating procedures at 128 kHz to validate and showcase the capability of our model. Results: Our model is able to capture the change in electrical conductivity during heating, cooling, and reheating procedures, which distinguishes different states and shows the irreversibility of denaturation. The model also accurately captures tissue change during slow cooking at a constant temperature, highlighting a state dependence. Conclusion: By incorporating state dependence into the model for electrical properties, we are able to capture the denaturation process more accurately and distinguish different degrees of damage. Our model allows the modeling of procedures involving repeated heating or cooling, which is impossible for models without a state dependence. While being able to adapt to patient-specific needs, the model can be used to improve planning and control in future robot-assisted surgeries to reduce unnecessary damage.

目的:我们提出了一种基于物理学、与温度和状态相关的电导率模型,该模型适用于热疗法下的软生物组织,并带有一个量化的损伤参数,该参数代表了软生物组织的状态(变性程度)。大多数现有模型认为电导率仅与温度有关,并在温度计算后的后处理过程中评估组织损伤。我们的模型可将组织损伤耦合到热模型中,从而更准确地描述射频消融和电外科手术。方法:我们用阿伦尼乌斯微分方程(Arrhenius-type differential equation)来建立化学动力学变性过程模型,并用修改后的斯托格林方程(Stogryn equation)来建立状态转换下的电导率模型。我们提供了在 128 kHz 频率下两种加热过程的实验数据,以验证和展示我们模型的能力。结果:我们的模型能够捕捉加热、冷却和再加热过程中电导率的变化,从而区分不同的状态,并显示变性的不可逆性。该模型还能准确捕捉恒温慢煮过程中组织的变化,突出了状态依赖性。结论通过将状态依赖性纳入电特性模型,我们能够更准确地捕捉变性过程,并区分不同程度的损伤。我们的模型允许对涉及反复加热或冷却的过程进行建模,而没有状态依赖性的模型是不可能做到这一点的。该模型能够适应患者的特定需求,同时还可用于改进未来机器人辅助手术的规划和控制,以减少不必要的损伤。

Objective: To examine the feasibility of an integrated mind-body MDD treatment combining cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and whole-body hyperthermia (WBH).

Methods: In this single-arm trial, 16 adults with MDD initially received 8 weekly CBT sessions and 8 weekly WBH sessions. Outcomes included WBH sessions completed (primary), self-report depression assessments completed (secondary), and pre-post intervention changes in depression symptoms (secondary). We also explored changes in mood and cognitive processes and assessed changes in mood as predictors of overall treatment response.

Results: Thirteen participants (81.3%) completed 4 WBH sessions (primary outcome); midway through the trial, we reduced from 8 weekly to 4 bi-weekly WBH sessions to increase feasibility. The n = 12 participants who attended the final assessment visit completed 100% of administered self-report depression assessments; all enrolled participants (n = 16) completed 89% of these assessments. Among the n = 12 who attended the final assessment visit, the average pre-post-intervention BDI-II reduction was 15.8 points (95% CI: -22.0, -9.70), p = 0.0001, with 11 no longer meeting MDD criteria (secondary outcomes). Pre-post intervention improvements in negative automatic thinking, but not cognitive flexibility, achieved statistical significance. Improved mood from pre-post the initial WBH session predicted pre-post treatment BDI-II change (36.2%; rho = 0.60, p = 0.038); mood changes pre-post the first CBT session did not.

Limitations: Small sample size and single-arm design limit generalizability.

Conclusion: An integrated mind-body intervention comprising weekly CBT sessions and bi-weekly WBH sessions was feasible. Results warrant future larger controlled clinical trials.Clinivaltrials.gov Registration: NCT05708976.

目的研究结合认知行为疗法(CBT)和全身热疗(WBH)的身心MDD综合疗法的可行性:在这项单臂试验中,16 名患有 MDD 的成人最初接受了每周 8 次的 CBT 治疗和每周 8 次的全身热疗治疗。结果包括完成的 WBH 课程(主要)、完成的自我报告抑郁评估(次要)以及干预前抑郁症状的变化(次要)。我们还探讨了情绪和认知过程的变化,并将情绪变化作为整体治疗反应的预测因素进行了评估:13名参与者(81.3%)完成了≥4次WBH疗程(主要结果);在试验中途,我们将每周8次的WBH疗程减少为每两周4次,以提高可行性。参加最终评估访问的 12 名参与者 100%完成了自我报告抑郁评估;所有注册参与者(16 人)完成了 89% 的评估。在参加最终评估的 n = 12 名参与者中,干预前 BDI-II 平均降低了 15.8 分(95% CI:-22.0,-9.70),p = 0.0001,其中 11 人不再符合 MDD 标准(次要结果)。干预前-干预后,消极自动思维的改善达到了统计学意义,但认知灵活性的改善没有达到统计学意义。首次WBH治疗前后的情绪改善可预测治疗前BDI-II的变化(36.2%;rho = 0.60,p = 0.038);而首次CBT治疗前后的情绪变化则无法预测:局限性:样本量小和单臂设计限制了推广性:结论:由每周一次的CBT课程和每两周一次的WBH课程组成的综合身心干预是可行的。结果值得在未来进行更大规模的临床对照试验:NCT05708976。

Objective: The study aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of ultrasound-guided microwave ablation (MWA) and percutaneous sclerotherapy (PS) for the treatment of large hepatic hemangioma (LHH).

Methods: This retrospective study included 96 patients who underwent MWA (n = 54) and PS (n = 42) as first-line treatment for LHH in three tertiary hospitals from January 2016 to December 2021. Primary outcomes were technique efficacy rate (volume reduction rate [VRR] > 50% at 12 months), symptom relief rate at 12 months and local tumor progression (LTP). Secondary outcomes included procedure time, major complications, treatment sessions, cost and one-, two-, three-year VRR.

Results: During a median follow-up of 36 months, the MWA group showed a higher technique efficacy rate (100% vs. 90.4%, p = .018) and symptom relief rate (100% vs. 80%, p = .123) than the PS group. The MWA group had fewer treatment sessions, higher one-, two- and three-year VRR, lower LTP rate (all p < .05), longer procedure time and higher treatment costs than the PS group (both p < .001). MWA shared a comparable major complications rate (1.8% vs. 2.4%, p = .432) with PS. After multivariate analysis, the lesion's heterogeneity and maximum diameter >8.1 cm were independent risk factors for LTP (all p < .05). In the PS group, lesions with a cumulative dose of bleomycin > 0.115 mg/cm3 had a lower risk of LTP (p = .006).

Conclusions: Both MWA and PS treatments for large hepatic hemangioma are safe and effective, with MWA being superior in terms of efficacy.

研究目的该研究旨在比较超声引导下微波消融术(MWA)和经皮硬化剂注射术(PS)治疗肝大血管瘤(LHH)的有效性和安全性:这项回顾性研究纳入了2016年1月至2021年12月期间在三家三级医院接受微波消融术(54例)和经皮硬化剂注射术(42例)作为LHH一线治疗的96例患者。主要结果为技术有效率(12个月时体积缩小率[VRR] >50%)、12个月时症状缓解率和局部肿瘤进展(LTP)。次要结果包括手术时间、主要并发症、治疗次数、费用以及一年、两年、三年的体积缩小率:结果:在中位随访 36 个月期间,MWA 组的技术有效率(100% 对 90.4%,p = .018)和症状缓解率(100% 对 80%,p = .123)均高于 PS 组。与 PS 相比,MWA 组的治疗次数更少,一年、两年和三年的 VRR 更高,LTP 率更低(所有 p p = .432)。经过多变量分析,病变的异质性和最大直径大于 8.1 厘米是 LTP 的独立危险因素(所有 p 0.115 mg/cm3 的 LTP 风险较低(p = .006):结论:MWA和PS治疗巨大肝血管瘤均安全有效,其中MWA在疗效方面更胜一筹。

Objective: Gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis is considered to be final stage gastric cancer. One current treatment approach for this condition is combined cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). However, the therapeutic mechanisms of HIPEC remain largely undescribed. Method: In order to assess the cellular effects of HIPEC in vitro, we treated AGS human gastric adenocarcinoma cells with or without 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) at 37 °C or at 43 °C (hyperthermic temperature) for 1 h followed by incubation at 37 °C for 23 h. The impacts of hyperthermia/5-Fu on apoptosis, cell survival signals, oxidative stress, chemoresistance-related proteins and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression were measured. Results: Our results showed that hyperthermia potentiates 5-Fu-mediated cytotoxicity in AGS cells. Furthermore, the combination of 5-Fu and hyperthermia reduces levels of both phosphorylated STAT3 and STAT3, while increasing the levels of phosphorylated Akt and ERK. In addition, 5-Fu/hyperthermia enhances reactive oxygen species and suppresses superoxide dismutase 1. Chemoresistance-related proteins, such as multidrug resistance 1 and thymidylate synthase, are also suppressed by 5-Fu/hyperthermia. Interestingly, hyperthermia enhances 5-Fu-mediated induction of glycosylated PD-L1, but 5-Fu-mediated upregulation of PD-L1 surface expression is prevented by hyperthermia. Conclusion: Taken together, our findings provide insights that may aid in the development of novel therapeutic strategies and enhanced therapeutic efficacy of HIPEC.

目的:伴有腹膜转移的胃癌被认为是晚期胃癌。目前治疗这种情况的一种方法是联合细胞还原手术和腹腔热化疗(HIPEC)。然而,HIPEC 的治疗机制在很大程度上仍未得到阐明。方法:为了评估HIPEC在体外对细胞的影响,我们在37 °C或43 °C(高热温度)下用或不用5-氟尿嘧啶(5-Fu)处理AGS人胃腺癌细胞1小时,然后在37 °C下培养23小时,测量高热/5-Fu对细胞凋亡、细胞存活信号、氧化应激、化疗耐药相关蛋白和程序性死亡配体1(PD-L1)表达的影响。结果显示结果表明,热疗能增强 5-Fu 介导的 AGS 细胞毒性。此外,5-Fu 和热疗联合使用可降低磷酸化 STAT3 和 STAT3 的水平,同时提高磷酸化 Akt 和 ERK 的水平。此外,5-Fu/热疗还会增强活性氧并抑制超氧化物歧化酶1。化疗耐药性相关蛋白,如多药耐药性 1 和胸苷酸合成酶,也受到 5-Fu/hyperthermia 的抑制。有趣的是,热疗可增强 5-Fu 介导的糖基化 PD-L1 诱导,但热疗可阻止 5-Fu 介导的 PD-L1 表面表达上调。结论综上所述,我们的研究结果有助于开发新型治疗策略和提高 HIPEC 的疗效。

Objective: Monitoring sensitivity of sonography in focused ultrasound ablation surgery (FUAS) is limited (no hyperechoes in ∼50% of successful coagulation in uterine fibroids). A more accurate and sensitive approach is required.

Method: The echo amplitudes of the focused ultrasound (FUS) transducer in a testing mode (short pulse duration and low power) were found to correlate with the ex vivo coagulation. To further evaluate its coagulation prediction capabilities, in vivo experiments were carried out. The liver, kidney, and leg muscles of three adult goats were treated using clinical FUAS settings, and the echo amplitude of the FUS transducer and grayscale in sonography before and after FUAS were collected. On day 7, animals were sacrificed humanely, and the treated tissues were dissected to expose the lesion. Echo amplitude changes and lesion areas were analyzed statistically, as were the coagulation prediction metrics.

Results: The echo amplitude changes of the FUS transducer correlate well with the lesion areas in the liver (R = 0.682). Its prediction in accuracy (94.4% vs. 50%), sensitivity (92.9% vs. 35.7%), and negative prediction (80% vs. 30.8%) is better than sonography, but similar in specificity (80% vs. 100%) and positive prediction (100% vs. 100%). In addition, the correlation between tissue depth and the lesion area is not good (|R| < 0.2). Prediction performances in kidney and leg muscles are similar.

Conclusion: The FUS echo amplitudes are sensitive to the tissue properties and their changes after FUAS. They are sensitive and reliable in evaluating and predicting FUAS outcomes.

目的:在聚焦超声消融手术(FUAS)中,超声波检查的监测灵敏度有限(子宫肌瘤成功凝固的 50% 以上无高回声)。需要一种更准确、更灵敏的方法:方法:研究发现,聚焦超声(FUS)换能器在测试模式(短脉冲持续时间和低功率)下的回声振幅与体内凝固相关。为进一步评估其凝血预测能力,进行了体内实验。使用临床 FUAS 设置对三只成年山羊的肝脏、肾脏和腿部肌肉进行治疗,并收集 FUAS 前后 FUS 传感器的回波振幅和声像图的灰度。第 7 天,对动物进行人道处死,解剖处理过的组织以暴露病变。对回波振幅变化和病变面积以及凝血预测指标进行统计分析:结果:FUS 换能器的回声振幅变化与肝脏病变区域有很好的相关性(R = 0.682)。其预测准确性(94.4% 对 50%)、敏感性(92.9% 对 35.7%)和阴性预测(80% 对 30.8%)均优于超声波检查,但特异性(80% 对 100%)和阳性预测(100% 对 100%)相似。此外,组织深度与病变面积之间的相关性并不好(|R| < 0.2)。肾脏和腿部肌肉的预测性能相似:结论:FUS回波振幅对组织特性及其在FUAS后的变化很敏感。结论:FUS 回波振幅对组织特性及其在 FUAS 后的变化很敏感,在评估和预测 FUAS 结果方面灵敏可靠。

Objective: This study aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation for treating fumarate hydratase (FH)-deficient uterine leiomyomas.

Method: Ten patients with FH-deficient uterine leiomyomas treated with HIFU ablation at the Third Xiangya Hospital from July 2017 to January 2023 were enrolled in this study. The effectiveness and adverse effects of HIFU were analyzed.

Results: The median age of the patients who received HIFU was 32.0 years (range: 28-41 years). Only 2 patients had solitary uterine leiomyomas, whereas the remaining 8 patients had multiple uterine leiomyomas. The median diameter of the largest myoma was 56 mm (range: 41-99 mm). Magnetic resonance imaging showed that the FH-deficient uterine leiomyomas of 8 patients presented as mixed intensity on T2WI, that of one patient was hypointense, and that of another patient was hyperintense on T2WI. All patients successfully underwent HIFU ablation in one session without severe adverse effects. The median nonperfusion volume ratio (NPVR) was 40% (30.0%-78.0%) after HIFU treatment. Four patients had NPVR ≥70%. At 3-month follow-up after HIFU ablation, the clinical symptoms of 5 of the 8 patients with symptoms before treatment were relieved. Six months after treatment, 4 of the 8 patients with symptoms were still in remission. All patients received reintervention by March 2024. The reintervention rates were 20%, 70%, and 90% at 12, 24, and 36 months, respectively, after HIFU ablation.

Conclusion: HIFU is a safe and feasible treatment for FH-deficient uterine leiomyomas, and most patients show effective results in the short term after treatment. However, the reintervention rates are high, and the long-term effects are limited.

研究目的本研究旨在探讨高强度聚焦超声(HIFU)消融术治疗富马酸氢化酶(FH)缺陷型子宫白肌瘤的有效性和安全性:本研究入选了2017年7月至2023年1月在湘雅三医院接受HIFU消融治疗的10例FH缺陷型子宫白肌瘤患者。对HIFU的疗效和不良反应进行分析:接受HIFU治疗的患者中位年龄为32.0岁(范围:28-41岁)。只有 2 例患者为单发子宫肌瘤,其余 8 例患者为多发性子宫肌瘤。最大肌瘤的中位直径为 56 毫米(范围:41-99 毫米)。磁共振成像显示,8 名患者的 FH 缺失型子宫肌瘤在 T2WI 上呈混合强度,一名患者的肌瘤呈低密度,另一名患者的肌瘤在 T2WI 上呈高密度。所有患者均在一次治疗中成功接受了 HIFU 消融术,未出现严重不良反应。HIFU 治疗后,非灌注容积比(NPVR)的中位数为 40%(30.0%-78.0%)。四名患者的 NPVR ≥70%。在 HIFU 消融术后 3 个月的随访中,8 位治疗前有症状的患者中有 5 位的临床症状得到缓解。治疗 6 个月后,8 名有症状的患者中仍有 4 人的症状得到缓解。所有患者均在 2024 年 3 月前接受了再次介入治疗。HIFU消融术后12个月、24个月和36个月的再介入率分别为20%、70%和90%:结论:HIFU 是治疗 FH 缺失型子宫肌瘤的一种安全可行的方法,大多数患者在治疗后短期内就能显示出有效的疗效。结论:HIFU 是治疗 FH 缺失型子宫肌瘤的一种安全、可行的方法,大多数患者在治疗后短期内都能获得有效的效果,但再次干预率较高,长期效果有限。

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided RFA and MWA in the treatment of unifocal PTMC.

Methods: This retrospective study included 512 patients with 512 unifocal papillary thyroid microcarcinomas (PTMCs) who underwent RFA (n = 346) and MWA (n = 166) between January 2021 and December 2021. The volumes of the ablation areas were measured during follow-up, and the volume reduction rates were evaluated. The ablation duration, volume of hydrodissection, and ablation-related complications were also compared between the groups.

Results: All lesions received complete ablation and no local or distant recurrences were observed in the two groups. A larger volume of isolation liquid was used for RFA than for MWA (p = 0.000). Hoarseness occurred in seven patients who underwent RFA (p = 0.102). At the 1-week follow-up, the mean volume of the areas ablated by RFA was smaller than that of the areas ablated by MWA (p = 0.049). During follow-ups at months 3, 9, 12, 15, and 18, the mean volumes of the ablated areas were larger in the RFA group than in the MWA group (all, p < 0.05). The mean volume of the ablated lesions increased slightly at the 1-week follow-up and then decreased at 1 month after ablation in both groups. The absorption curve of the ablated lesions in the RFA group was similar to that in the MWA group.

Conclusions: RFA and MWA are both efficient and safe methods for treating unifocal PTMC. They may be alternative techniques for patients who are not eligible or are unwilling to undergo surgery.

目的:本研究旨在比较超声引导下RFA和MWA治疗单灶PTMC的有效性和安全性:这项回顾性研究纳入了2021年1月至2021年12月期间接受RFA(n = 346)和MWA(n = 166)治疗的512例单灶甲状腺乳头状微癌(PTMC)患者。随访期间测量了消融区域的体积,并评估了体积缩小率。此外,还比较了两组的消融持续时间、水切割体积和消融相关并发症:结果:所有病灶均完全消融,两组患者均未观察到局部或远处复发。与 MWA 相比,RFA 使用的隔离液量更大(p = 0.000)。7 名接受 RFA 的患者出现了声音嘶哑(p = 0.102)。随访 1 周时,RFA 消融区域的平均体积小于 MWA 消融区域的平均体积(p = 0.049)。在第 3、9、12、15 和 18 个月的随访中,RFA 组消融区域的平均体积大于 MWA 组(均为 p):RFA 和 MWA 都是治疗单灶 PTMC 的高效、安全的方法。对于不符合手术条件或不愿接受手术的患者,这两种方法可作为替代技术。

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for the treatment of synovial hyperplasia in the knee joints of antigen-induced arthritis (AIA) model rabbits.

Methods: Forty Japanese large-eared white rabbits were divided into AIA and control groups. After successful induction of the AIA model, the knee joints were randomly assigned to RFA and non-RFA groups. The RFA group underwent ultrasound-guided RFA to treat synovial hyperplasia in the knee joint. Dynamic observation of various detection indices was conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the RFA procedure.

Results: Successful synovial ablation was achieved in the RFA group, with no intraoperative or perioperative mortality. Postoperative the circumference of the knee joint reached a peak before decreasing in the third week after surgery. The incidence and diameter of postoperative skin ulcers were not significantly different compared to the non-RFA group (p > .05). Anatomical examination revealed an intact intermuscular fascia around the ablated area in the RFA group. The ablated synovial tissue initially presented as a white mass, which subsequently liquefied into a milky white viscous fluid. Gross articular cartilage was observed, along with liquefied necrosis of the synovium on pathological histology and infiltration of inflammatory cells in the surrounding soft tissue.

Conclusion: The experimental results demonstrated that ultrasound-guided RFA of the knee in the treatment of synovial hyperplasia in AIA model animals was both effective and safe.

目的:本研究旨在探讨超声引导下经皮射频消融术(RFA)治疗抗原诱发关节炎(AIA)模型兔膝关节滑膜增生的有效性和安全性:方法:将 40 只日本大耳白兔分为 AIA 组和对照组。成功诱导 AIA 模型后,将膝关节随机分配到 RFA 组和非 RFA 组。RFA组在超声引导下进行RFA治疗膝关节滑膜增生。对各种检测指标进行动态观察,以评估RFA手术的安全性和有效性:结果:RFA组成功实现了滑膜消融,术中和围术期无死亡病例。术后膝关节周径达到峰值,然后在术后第三周下降。术后皮肤溃疡的发生率和直径与非RFA组相比没有明显差异(P > .05)。解剖检查显示,RFA 组消融区域周围的肌间筋膜完好无损。消融的滑膜组织最初呈白色块状,随后液化成乳白色粘稠液体。病理组织学观察到关节软骨毛糙,滑膜液化坏死,周围软组织有炎性细胞浸润:实验结果表明,超声引导下膝关节 RFA 治疗 AIA 模型动物滑膜增生既有效又安全。

Background: Focused ultrasound ablation surgery (FUAS) has been widely employed to treat patients with uterine fibroid (UF). This study aimed to estimate myometrial stiffness changes in patients who received FUAS for UFs or myomectomy (ME) and compare the recovery of surrounding myometrium between FUAS and ME groups. Our results may provide more evidence for guiding the proper conception timing in patients with UF.

Methods: This study enrolled 173 patients from May 2022 to August 2023. Shear wave elastography (SWE) was used to dynamically monitor myometrial elasticity changes in patients before and after surgery. Moreover, our study monitored and analyzed the stiffness changes in the targeted fibroid after FUAS, as well as in the myometrium around after FUAS or ME.

Results: The stiffness of the myometrium around the resected fibroid was significantly higher than at the preoperative level until 6 months. Conversely, the stiffness of the surrounding myometrium was only temporarily increased 1 day after FUAS. The comparison between FUAS and ME groups regarding the stiffness of the surrounding myometrium showed that nonsignificant differences were detected between the two groups before the treatment. The stiffness of the surrounding myometrium in the ME group was statistically significantly higher than that of the FUAS group 1 day as well as 1, 3, and 6 months after the treatment, respectively.

Conclusion: The FUAS had less impact on the surrounding myometrium than the ME, which may be more conducive to the recovery of myometrial elasticity in patients with UF.

背景:聚焦超声消融手术(FUAS)已被广泛用于治疗子宫肌瘤(UF)患者。本研究旨在估测接受聚焦超声消融术治疗子宫肌瘤或子宫肌瘤剔除术(ME)患者的子宫肌层硬度变化,并比较聚焦超声消融术组和子宫肌瘤剔除术组患者周围子宫肌层的恢复情况。我们的研究结果可为指导宫外孕患者选择适当的受孕时机提供更多证据:本研究在 2022 年 5 月至 2023 年 8 月期间招募了 173 名患者。采用剪切波弹性成像(SWE)动态监测手术前后患者子宫肌层的弹性变化。此外,我们的研究还监测并分析了FUAS术后靶肌瘤以及FUAS或ME术后周围子宫肌层的硬度变化:结果:直至 6 个月,切除肌瘤周围子宫肌层的硬度明显高于术前水平。相反,FUAS 术后 1 天,周围子宫肌层的硬度仅暂时增加。FUAS 组和 ME 组在周围子宫肌层硬度方面的比较显示,两组在治疗前没有发现明显差异。ME 组治疗后 1 天、1 个月、3 个月和 6 个月,其周围子宫肌层的硬度在统计学上分别明显高于 FUAS 组:结论:与 ME 相比,FUAS 对周围子宫肌层的影响较小,这可能更有利于 UF 患者子宫肌层弹性的恢复。
