Objective

To describe fertility-sparing management of atypical polypoid adenomyoma (APA) in two premenopausal women and to review the relevant literature on treatment strategies aimed at preserving fertility.

Case Report

A 39-year-old nulliparous woman presented with heavy menstrual bleeding and was diagnosed with APA via hysteroscopy and histopathology. Rapid recurrence prompted a second-look hysteroscopy and complete lesion resection. The second case involved a 30-year-old nulliparous woman with prolonged bleeding and a suspected submucosal fibroid; hysteroscopic resection confirmed APA. She received a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device and regular follow-up. Both cases highlight diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in managing APA while preserving fertility.

Conclusion

These cases illustrate the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of APA while preserving fertility. Based on our cases and a review of the literature, complete hysteroscopic resection, combined with hormonal therapy when appropriate, may be effective. Close follow-up is essential due to the risk of recurrence and potential malignant transformation, and individualized management is recommended to optimize fertility outcomes.
目的介绍2例绝经前妇女不典型息肉样腺肌瘤(APA)的保留生育能力的治疗方法,并回顾有关保留生育能力的治疗策略的相关文献。病例报告一名39岁未生育妇女,经宫腔镜和组织病理学诊断为APA。快速复发促使二次宫腔镜检查和完全切除病变。第二个病例涉及一名30岁的未生育妇女,长期出血和疑似粘膜下纤维瘤;宫腔镜切除证实APA。她接受了左炔诺孕酮释放宫内节育器和定期随访。这两个病例都突出了在保持生育能力的同时管理APA的诊断和治疗挑战。结论这些病例说明了在保留生育能力的情况下,APA的诊断和治疗面临的挑战。根据我们的病例和文献回顾,完全宫腔镜切除,适当时结合激素治疗可能是有效的。由于复发和潜在恶性转化的风险,密切随访是必要的,建议个体化管理以优化生育结果。

Women in Robson group 5 (previous CS, term, cephalic presentation), accounted for 50% of all CS (68/136). Among CS in Robson groups 6 to 10 (malpresentation, twins, preterm), 65.6% (21/32) were also performed in women with a previous CS. Vaginal birth after CS (VBAC) rates were high: 71.2% (79/111) after one and 50.0% (23/46) after two previous CS. Among women with a previous CS (191/868, 22.0% of the population), uterine rupture occurred in 5.8% (11/191) and abnormally invasive placenta in 3.7% (7/191). Surgical site infections occurred in 7.4% (10/136) of CS. Perinatal mortality was 60 per 1000 births (53/886 total births). Case reviews showed that 9.6% (13/136) of CS were performed “too late” and 24.3% (33/136) “too soon.” Positive findings included high antenatal care attendance and short decision-to-CS intervals.

Applying the Robson classification is challenging in low-resource settings, where gestational age is often unknown.

全球剖宫产率的上升导致越来越多的女性出现子宫瘢痕。在资源匮乏、生育率高的环境中,这可能导致越来越多的高危妊娠和分娩。在低资源环境中探索和了解这一趋势对于降低全球孕产妇和围产期死亡率至关重要。目的本研究旨在评估刚果民主共和国东部Walikale的CS实践,采用Robson分类、临床适应症、孕产妇和围产期并发症以及护理质量,以改善CS决策和临床结果。研究设计2024年1月1日至3月31日在刚果民主共和国北基伍省瓦利卡莱综合转诊医院进行了一项横断面研究。对所有出生的数据进行了审查,并由一组卫生保健提供者系统地对每个CS进行了临床病例审查。采用描述性统计进行分析。结果868例新生儿中136例妊娠期妊娠率为15.7%。Robson组5(既往CS,足月,头侧表现)的女性占所有CS的50%(68/136)。在Robson组6 ~ 10(表现不良、双胞胎、早产)中,65.6%(21/32)的CS患者也曾有过CS。术后阴道分娩(VBAC)率高:1次术后71.2%(79/111),2次术后50.0%(23/46)。在既往CS患者中(191/868,22.0%),发生子宫破裂的占5.8%(11/191),发生异常侵入性胎盘的占3.7%(7/191)。手术部位感染发生率为7.4%(10/136)。围产期死亡率为60‰(53/886)。病例回顾显示9.6%(13/136)的CS“太晚”,24.3%(33/136)的CS“太早”。阳性结果包括高产前保健出勤率和短决策- cs间隔。病例审查后提出的建议包括加强临床监督和培训卫生工作者,对有相关适应症的CS进行团队决策,确保获得医院、药物、血液和避孕,特别是对既往患有CS的妇女。结论在这个受冲突影响、高生育、低资源的环境下,子宫结疤率和子宫结疤妇女的比例正在上升。大多数CS是在既往有CS的女性中进行的。VBAC的发生率非常高,尽管VBAC和多次重复CS都有重要的安全考虑。应用罗布森分类是具有挑战性的低资源设置,其中胎龄往往是未知的。为了优化CS护理和减少不良后果,至关重要的是要防止首次不必要的CS,通过适应具体情况的指南、临床监督和常规病例审查确保及时和适当的适应症,并加强基本和全面的产前和产科护理。

Background

Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is a serious obstetric condition characterized by abnormal invasion of placental tissue into the uterine wall, leading to severe maternal complications. Early and accurate diagnosis, both antenatally and intraoperatively, is crucial for effective management and for reducing associated morbidity and mortality.

Objective

The primary objective is to evaluate agreement between intraoperative clinical grading using the FIGO 2018 criteria of PAS and antenatal ultrasound diagnoses, and the secondary objective to assess the correlation between clinical outcomes and postpartum histopathological findings.

Study Design

In this prospective study, we enrolled 70 pregnant women with placenta previa suspected of having PAS, who were managed at an accredited PAS Center from September 2022 to July 2023. Antenatal ultrasound evaluations were performed in the third trimester, and patients underwent surgery between 34 and 36+6 weeks. The experienced surgeons assessed the intraoperative PAS grading using the FIGO 2018 criteria. Postoperatively, antenatal and intraoperative PAS grading were compared with histopathological findings. The agreement between antepartum and intraoperative grading, along with their correlations with clinical outcomes, was analyzed using kappa statistics.

Results

Twenty-eight patients (40%) had isolated placenta previa. Forty-two (60%) had PAS, including six with accreta (8.6%), 15 with increta (21.4%), and 21 with percreta (30%). Cesarean hysterectomy was performed in 39 (92.9%) of PAS and had confirmed with histopathological examination. The kappa agreement between ultrasound diagnosis and intraoperative grading was substantial (kappa=0.88; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.64–0.94). The agreement between intraoperative grading and histopathology was moderate (kappa=0.68; 95% CI: 0.40–0.91).

Conclusion

Antenatal ultrasound diagnoses and intraoperative clinical grading of PAS demonstrated a high level of concordance. Although antenatal ultrasound enables early preparation and correlation well with histopathology and clinical outcomes, intraoperative assessment remains crucial for accurately determining PAS severity and guiding surgery.
背景:胎盘增生谱(PAS)是一种严重的产科疾病,其特征是胎盘组织异常侵入子宫壁,导致严重的产妇并发症。产前和术中早期准确诊断对于有效管理和降低相关发病率和死亡率至关重要。主要目的是评估采用FIGO 2018 PAS标准的术中临床分级与产前超声诊断之间的一致性,次要目的是评估临床结局与产后组织病理学结果之间的相关性。在这项前瞻性研究中,我们招募了70名怀疑患有PAS的前置胎盘孕妇,于2022年9月至2023年7月在一家经认证的PAS中心进行管理。在妊娠晚期进行产前超声评估,患者在34 ~ 36+6周之间进行手术。经验丰富的外科医生使用FIGO 2018标准评估术中PAS分级。将术后、产前和术中PAS评分与组织病理学结果进行比较。使用kappa统计分析产前和术中分级的一致性及其与临床结果的相关性。结果分离性前置胎盘28例(40%)。42人(60%)患有PAS,其中6人患有accreta(8.6%), 15人患有increta(21.4%), 21人患有percreta(30%)。经组织病理检查证实,39例(92.9%)行剖宫产子宫切除术。超声诊断与术中分级kappa一致性较好(kappa=0.88; 95%可信区间[CI]: 0.64-0.94)。术中分级与组织病理学的一致性为中等(kappa=0.68; 95% CI: 0.40-0.91)。结论产前超声诊断与术中PAS临床分级高度一致。尽管产前超声可以早期准备,并与组织病理学和临床结果有很好的相关性,但术中评估对于准确确定PAS的严重程度和指导手术仍然至关重要。

Background

The accuracy of the cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) in predicting cesarean section for intrapartum fetal compromise (CS-IFC) prior to the onset of labor remains controversial.

Objectives

To determine whether advancing gestational age (GA) in the final weeks of pregnancy enhances the predictive performance of CPR and other sonographic parameters for CS-IFC before labor.

Study design

This multicentre retrospective study analysed 590 singleton pregnancies across four tertiary centres in Spain, Italy, and the UK. All participants underwent Doppler ultrasound assessment between 35+0 and 41+0 weeks of gestation and delivered within 24 hours of examination. CS-IFC was defined by abnormal intrapartum fetal heart rate patterns or fetal scalp pH <7.20 necessitating emergency caesarean delivery. The predictive performance of CPR, middle cerebral artery (MCA) pulsatility index (PI), and umbilical artery (UA) PI—expressed as multiples of the median (MoM)—was evaluated using ROC curve analysis and logistic regression, alone and in combination with estimated fetal weight centile (EFWc), fetal sex, and type of labour onset (TLO), stratified by gestational age.

Results

The highest overall predictive performance between 35 and 40 weeks of gestation was observed with the use of CPR MoM and MCA PI MoM (AUC 0.71, 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 0.64–0.79, P<.00001, AIC 343.6; AUC 0.70, 95% CI, 0.63–0.77, P<.00001, AIC 346.5, respectively). Predictive accuracy further improved with the inclusion of estimated fetal weight centile (EFWc) (AUC 0.73, CI 0.66–0.80, P<.00001, AIC 339.3; AUC 0.74, CI 0.68–0.80, P<.00001, AIC 336.4), and was enhanced even more when additional clinical variables, such as fetal sex and type of labor onset were incorporated (AUC 0.77, CI 0.71–0.83, P<.00001, AIC 327; AUC 0.78, CI 0.72–0.84, P<.00001, AIC 323.9).
Across all models, predictive accuracy improved with advancing GA (P<.00001), peaking at 39 to 40 weeks. This trend was evident for cerebral Doppler indices (CPR MoM and MCA PI MoM), but not for UA PI or EFWc. The improvement in performance remained significant even when only fetuses appropriate for gestational age were analyzed.

Conclusion

The predictive ability of cerebral Doppler for CS-IFC, in both high- and low-risk pregnancies, increases with advancing gestational age during the last weeks of gestation.
背景:脑胎盘比(CPR)在临产前预测剖宫产术中产内胎儿妥协(CS-IFC)的准确性仍有争议。目的探讨妊娠末周提前孕龄是否能提高临产前心肺复苏术及其他超声参数对CS-IFC的预测效果。这项多中心回顾性研究分析了西班牙、意大利和英国四所高等教育中心的590例单胎妊娠。所有参与者在妊娠35+0至41+0周期间接受多普勒超声评估,并在检查后24小时内分娩。CS-IFC的定义为产时胎儿心率异常或胎儿头皮pH值7.20,需要紧急剖腹产。使用ROC曲线分析和logistic回归评估CPR、大脑中动脉(MCA)搏动指数(PI)和脐动脉(UA) PI(以中位数(MoM)的倍数表示)的预测性能,并结合估计的胎儿体重百分数(EFWc)、胎儿性别和分娩类型(TLO),按胎龄分层。结果使用CPR MoM和MCA PI MoM在妊娠35 - 40周期间观察到最高的总体预测性能(AUC 0.71, 95%可信区间[95% CI], 0.64-0.79, P< 0.00001, AIC 343.6; AUC 0.70, 95% CI, 0.63-0.77, P< 0.00001, AIC 346.5)。纳入估计胎儿体重百分位数(EFWc)后,预测准确性进一步提高(AUC 0.73, CI 0.66-0.80, P< 0.00001, AIC 339.3; AUC 0.74, CI 0.68-0.80, P< 0.00001, AIC 336.4),当纳入胎儿性别和分娩类型等其他临床变量时,预测准确性进一步提高(AUC 0.77, CI 0.71-0.83, P< 0.00001, AIC 327; AUC 0.78, CI 0.72-0.84, P< 0.00001, AIC 323.9)。在所有模型中,预测精度随着遗传算法的推进而提高(P<.00001),在39至40周达到峰值。这种趋势在脑多普勒指数(CPR MoM和MCA PI MoM)中很明显,但在UA PI或EFWc中则不明显。即使只对胎龄合适的胎儿进行分析,性能的改善仍然是显著的。结论在妊娠最后几周,脑多普勒对高危和低危妊娠CS-IFC的预测能力随胎龄的增加而增加。

Background

The study of 24-hour urinary total protein (24-h UTP) excretion is an essential parameter for the assessment of renal function and early detection of pregnancy complications. However, data on reference interval for 24-h UTP in women with twin pregnancies are scarce.

Objective

We aimed to establish the reference interval for 24-h UTP excretion in women with twin pregnancies and compare it with that in women with singletons.

Study Design

A total of 12,633 participants with singletons or twin pregnancies were recruited. They were instructed to collect standard 24-hour urinary samples. Information was extracted from the electronic medical record. The nonparametric percentile method was used to determine reference interval for 24-h UTP excretion during different trimesters in women (excluding, among others, those with preexisting renal disease, gestational or chronic hypertension, pre-eclampsia, and pregestational diabetes mellitus).

Results

In twin pregnancies, the 24-h UTP levels expressed as medians and percentiles (5th, 95th) for each trimester were as follows: 74.2 (32.7, 195.5) mg, 104.5 (41.9, 213.1) mg, and 152.6 (46.1, 415.7) mg in the first, second, and third trimesters, respectively. A significant increase in 24-h UTP excretion was observed throughout pregnancy (all P<.001). Furthermore, the median (25th, 75th) of 24-h UTP values in the singleton group and twin groups were 70.2 (48.5, 98.3) vs 74.2 (47.3, 108.2) mg, 84.8 (58.5, 118.2) vs 104.5 (78.4, 135.6) mg, and 108.0 (73.4, 149.3) vs 152.6 (90.8, 192.8) mg in the first, second, and third trimesters, respectively. (Part of the data on singleton pregnancy has previously been published). The 24-h UTP excretion in the twin group was significantly higher than those in the singleton group in the second and third trimesters (both P<.001).

Conclusion

Physiological proteinuria levels were approximately doubled in late pregnancy in women with twin pregnancies compared to early pregnancy, and the upper limit of normal 24-h UTP excretion is 415.7 mg in late pregnancy. Moreover, the threshold for elevated proteinuria in twin pregnancies could be higher than in singletons from the second trimester onwards. Understanding these changes is essential for precise twin management and patient counseling.
研究24小时尿总蛋白(24h UTP)排泄量是评估肾功能和早期发现妊娠并发症的重要指标。然而,关于双胎妊娠妇女24小时UTP参考间隔的数据很少。目的建立双胎妇女24小时UTP排泄的参考区间,并与单胎妇女进行比较。研究设计共招募了12633名单胎或双胎孕妇。他们被要求收集标准的24小时尿液样本。信息是从电子病历中提取的。采用非参数百分位法确定妇女在不同妊娠期24小时UTP排泄的参考区间(不包括既往存在肾脏疾病、妊娠期或慢性高血压、先兆子痫和妊娠期糖尿病的妇女)。结果双胎妊娠各妊娠期24小时UTP水平中位数(第5位、第95位)分别为74.2(32.7、195.5)mg、104.5(41.9、213.1)mg、152.6(46.1、415.7)mg。在整个妊娠期间观察到24小时UTP排泄显著增加(p < 0.01)。此外,单胎组和双胞胎组24小时UTP值的中位值(第25、75位)分别为70.2(48.5、98.3)vs 74.2(47.3、108.2)mg, 84.8(58.5、118.2)vs 104.5(78.4、135.6)mg, 108.0(73.4、149.3)vs 152.6(90.8、192.8)mg。(部分关于单胎妊娠的数据之前已经发表过)。在妊娠中期和晚期,双胞胎组24小时UTP排泄量显著高于单胎组(p < 0.01)。结论双胎妊娠后期生理性蛋白尿水平较妊娠早期约增加一倍,妊娠后期24 h正常UTP排泄上限为415.7 mg。此外,从妊娠中期开始,双胎妊娠的蛋白尿升高阈值可能高于单胎妊娠。了解这些变化对于精确的双胞胎管理和患者咨询至关重要。

At the beginning of the double-blind period, premenopausal women (aged 18−49 years) with moderate-to-severe endometriosis-associated pain were randomized 4:1:2 to ELA+AB therapy, ELA monotherapy for 6 months followed by ELA+AB therapy for the remaining 6 months, or placebo. After the double-blind treatment period, all patients were treated with open-label ELA+AB therapy (referred to as the ELA+AB/ELA+AB, ELA/ELA+AB, and placebo/ELA+AB groups) for the remainder of the 36-month open-label treatment period. Safety was assessed throughout the open-label treatment period.

背景:delagolix (ELA) 200mg,每日2次,是一种被批准用于治疗中度至重度子宫内膜异位症相关疼痛的口服药物。然而,ELA的临床应用受到潜在的低雌激素效应的限制,包括骨矿物质密度(BMD)的损失。添加激素补充(AB)治疗(1毫克雌二醇/0.5毫克醋酸去甲稀酮,每日一次)可减轻骨密度损失。一项为期48个月的3期临床试验评估ELA+AB治疗绝经前妇女中度至重度子宫内膜异位症相关疼痛的长期安全性。该多中心三期试验于2017年7月7日至2023年12月6日进行,包括12个月的双盲治疗期,36个月的开放标签延长期和12个月的治疗后随访(PTFU)期。在双盲期开始时,患有中度至重度子宫内膜异位症相关疼痛的绝经前妇女(18 - 49岁)以4:1:2随机分为ELA+AB治疗,ELA单药治疗6个月,ELA+AB治疗剩余6个月,或安慰剂。在双盲治疗期后,所有患者在36个月的开放标签治疗期的剩余时间内接受开放标签ELA+AB治疗(称为ELA+AB/ELA+AB、ELA/ELA+AB和安慰剂/ELA+AB组)。安全性在整个开放标签治疗期间进行评估。在筛查期间和整个研究期间每6个月用双能x线骨密度仪测量腰椎、全髋关节和股骨颈的骨密度。骨密度分析采用协方差分析模型,以治疗为主要效应,基线值为协变量。结果在进入开放标签期的380例患者中,140例(36.8%)完成了治疗期,240例(63.2%)因撤回同意和不良事件(ae)而终止治疗。总共有159例(74.0%)ELA+AB/ELA+AB组患者,41例(69.5%)ELA/ELA+AB组患者和80例(75.5%)安慰剂/ELA+AB组患者在开放标签期间报告了至少1例治疗突发不良事件(TEAE)。teae一般为轻度或中度,不严重。最常见的teae是COVID-19、骨密度降低和鼻窦炎。在所有研究组中均未报告1例严重不良事件。骨密度总体保持稳定,从基线到第48周,所有组和所有解剖部位的最小二乘平均百分比下降了2%。同样,ELA+AB/ELA+AB组在整个研究期间的所有解剖部位和所有时间点的骨密度最小二乘平均值较基线下降2%。对于ELA+AB/ELA+AB组治疗≥48个月且最终治疗时骨密度降低的患者,大多数(腰椎13例[59.1%];全髋关节8例[53.3%];股骨颈12例[57.1%])在PTFU期第12个月部分或完全恢复。本研究扩展了先前报道的一项为期12个月的分析,该分析分析了ELA+AB治疗绝经前妇女中度至重度子宫内膜异位症相关疼痛的疗效和安全性。ELA+AB治疗的安全性与之前的研究结果基本一致。在48个月的持续治疗中,骨密度基本保持稳定。该分析代表了ELA+AB治疗迄今为止最长的安全性研究,并支持ELA+AB治疗的长期治疗。

Introduction

Traditional methods of teaching anatomical landmarks and their clinical and surgical significance often exhibit low retention rates. Medical educators have consistently sought to integrate innovative pedagogical approaches in response to evolving educational needs. The advent of multimedia technologies has significantly enhanced engagement and retention in learning, thus promoting a deeper contextual understanding in various clinical settings.

Aims

To compare the effectiveness of laparoscopic interactive demonstration of retroperitoneal vascular anatomy against traditional classroom teaching among medical students concerning knowledge acquisition, memory consolidation, and their perception of the teaching method.

Design

A prospective single-center, two-arm, Quasi-randomized Educational Intervention Trial (allocation ratio 1:1) assigned 152 final-year undergraduate medical students to either the intervention (live interactive schooling) or the control group (conventional classroom teaching). The primary outcome measured was an enhancement in fundamental pelvic retroperitoneal anatomy, which was assessed by administering pre- and post-test questionnaires of equal difficulty. Feedback forms were used to compare the acceptability and perception of the novel and traditional methods. Statistical analysis was performed using STRATA 14.4, paired t-tests for pre- and post-test comparisons, and Likert scale responses for feedback analysis.

Results

Both groups had comparable mean pretest scores. Post-test, the novel-method group demonstrated a significantly greater improvement (8.67±2.81) than the conventional group (5.74±3.18), with a mean difference of 2.93 (95% CI: 1.96–3.90; P<.001) and a large effect size (Cohen’s d=0.98), which reflected the principal outcome measure. At six-month follow-up, performance declined in both groups (P=.064). Student feedback indicated greater enthusiasm and acceptability for the novel approach.

Conclusion

Live interactive educational techniques were found to be effective, acceptable, and more student-oriented than traditional teaching-learning methods.

Introduction

Few reports exist on the prophylactic use of a resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) catheter and its application for prolonged occlusion times exceeding 60 minutes during cesarean hysterectomy in placenta accreta spectrum disorders.

Case

In the case of suspected placenta percreta, the prophylactic placement of a REBOA catheter before cesarean hysterectomy provided prompt life-saving post-arrest resuscitation and 166 minutes of occlusion time without any REBOA-related complications.

Conclusion

Prophylactic REBOA catheter placement is a groundbreaking approach with the potential to revolutionize the management of obstetric hemorrhage. This case underscores the efficacy of prolonged endovascular occlusion, using both partial and complete aortic occlusion techniques and core aortic blood pressure monitoring to assess hemodynamic status.
前言:目前关于预防性使用复苏血管内球囊阻断主动脉(REBOA)导管,以及其在剖宫产子宫切除术中延长阻断时间超过60分钟的应用的报道很少。在疑似percreta的病例中,剖宫产子宫切除术前预防性放置REBOA导管提供了及时挽救生命的骤停后复苏和166分钟的闭塞时间,无任何REBOA相关并发症。结论预防性置放REBOA导管是一种开创性的方法,有可能彻底改变产科出血的治疗方法。本病例强调了长时间血管内闭塞的有效性,使用部分和完全主动脉闭塞技术和核心主动脉血压监测来评估血流动力学状态。

Background

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal infection among women of reproductive age worldwide, caused by dysbiosis of the vaginal microbiome. Despite its prevalence, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood, making diagnosis and treatment challenging. Although antibiotics are the standard therapy, recurrence rates are high, up to 50% within 1 year, and repeated treatments contribute to the rise of antimicrobial resistance. There is an urgent need for alternative, sustainable, and microbiome-friendly treatment options.

Objective

To evaluate whether pHyph, a novel antibiotic-free treatment, promotes a shift in the vaginal microbiome toward a health-associated composition in women with clinically diagnosed BV.

Study design

In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, vaginal swabs were collected from 152 women diagnosed with BV. Microbiome composition was assessed before and after a 6-day treatment with pHyph or a placebo-like comparator, using qPCR targeting 25 bacterial, 2 viral, and 8 eukaryotic species.

Results

pHyph significantly increased the abundance of Lactobacillus iners, Lactobacillus gasseri and Lactobacillus jensenii after treatment, while decreasing the abundance of BV-associated species, such as Gardnerella vaginalis, BVAB2, and Fannyhessea vaginae (Wilcoxon signed rank test, P<.05). The growth-promoting effect on Lactobacillus was more pronounced in women who had detectable levels at baseline. Notably, a substantial number of participants in the pHyph group (n=33) transitioned to a Lactobacillus-dominated community state type (CST), compared to none in the comparator group.

Conclusions

pHyph supports BV resolution by promoting a Lactobacillus-dominated vaginal microbiome and reducing BV-associated species, offering a promising antibiotic-free alternative.
细菌性阴道病(BV)是全世界育龄妇女中最常见的阴道感染,由阴道微生物群失调引起。尽管其普遍存在,但潜在的分子机制仍然知之甚少,这使得诊断和治疗具有挑战性。虽然抗生素是标准治疗方法,但复发率很高,1年内复发率高达50%,反复治疗导致抗菌素耐药性上升。迫切需要可替代的、可持续的和微生物友好的治疗方案。目的评估pHyph(一种新型无抗生素治疗药物)是否能促进临床诊断为细菌性阴道炎的女性阴道微生物群向健康相关组成的转变。在一项随机、双盲、安慰剂对照的试验中,研究人员收集了152名被诊断为细菌性阴道炎的女性的阴道拭子。在使用pHyph或安慰剂样比较物治疗6天前后,使用qPCR对25种细菌、2种病毒和8种真核生物进行微生物组组成评估。结果hyph显著提高了处理后乳酸菌、发酵乳杆菌和jensenii乳杆菌的丰度,降低了阴道加德纳菌、BVAB2和阴道凡尼希菌等bv相关菌的丰度(Wilcoxon sign rank检验,P< 0.05)。在基线水平可检测到的妇女中,对乳酸杆菌的促生长作用更为明显。值得注意的是,pHyph组中有相当数量的参与者(n=33)转变为乳酸杆菌主导的群落状态类型(CST),而比较组中没有。结论sphyph通过促进乳酸菌主导的阴道微生物群和减少BV相关物种来支持BV的解决,提供了一种有前途的无抗生素替代方案。
