| Macrophage Activation Syndrome Discovered During Pregnancy: Case Report | Author : Meriem Serraj Andaloussi | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) or Haemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) results from an inappropriate stimulation of macrophages in bone marrow and lymphoid organs, leading to haemophagocytosis and hypercytokinemia. HPS may be primitive, essentially in pediatric population, or secondary to malignancy, infection or autoimmune disease. This disease is rare and prognosis is poor.
The diagnosis of hemophagocytic syndrome remains a challenge especially during pregnancy. We report a case collected at the Elharouchimaternity service, taken in charge jointly with its intensive care unit, of a 26-year-old patient with no pathological history leading to an unsuccessful pregnancy presumed at 5 months in whom the MAS syndrome was retained due to pancytopenia. , hyperferitinemia, hypertriglyceridemia with the presence of a few hemophagocytes in the myelogram with a good evolution under bolus of solumedrol and symptomatic treatment. We discuss through this case the diagnostic difficulties, the obstetric complications as well as the options therapeutic. |
| Usage of Flaxseed Lignan in Menaposal Complaints in Perimenaposal Women Patients | Author : Hayriye Alp | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Lignans are phenylpropanoid dimers widely distributed in the plant kingdom. Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) is one of the richest sourcase of dietary lignans. Plant lignans comprise one of the two main groups of phytoestrogens the other group beigng the isoflavonoids. The major flax lignan is secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG).Flaxseed is the richest food sourcase of SDG.Flaxseed also contains much smaller amounts of matairesinol, lariciresinol, and pineresinol. The plant lignans are converted by the intestinal microflora in the proximal or upper part of the large intestine to enterodiol (END) and enterolactone (ENL). Between 2017 and 2019, 26 female patients who applied for getat polk, obesity and perimenopausal complaints were included in the study. Demographic data of the patients were recorded. Age, weight, height, BMI and bloodT3,4, TSH, B12, Na, K levels were measured. Statistically average measurements were taken. Flaxseed was recommended for patients whose cholesterol levels were above the reference value. SDG has antioksidant activity.It also may have hypoglycemic, hypocholesterolemic, estrogenic,anti-estrogenic, anticancer, antiproliferative and renoprotective properties. |
| Effectiveness the perfusion of Endometrial and Subendometrial and Endometrial volume on the endometrial receptivity of FET Cycles | Author : Vajihe Hazari | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Objective: this study was effects of endometrial and subendometrial blood perfusion and endometrial volume on endometrial receptivity in frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles.
Materials and methods: This prospective observational cohort study, that on infertile women who referred for FET to Shariati Hospital and Omid Infertility Clinic in Tehran (Iran) .112 patients selected among eligible women with good quality embryos. After homogenization, participants underwent endometrial preparation for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) according to a similar routine protocol. On the day of the FET, they underwent a thorough ultrasound examination for possible effective parameters. Subsequently, one to two good quality blastocysts were transferred, and the pregnancy outcomes were monitored.
Results: In vitro fertilization (IVF) was performed on 112 patients with a mean age of 33.93±4.93 years. Although, serum ß-HCG level was used to confirm pregnancy. Accordingly, out of 112 participating patients, 50 (44.6%) became pregnant after IVF. Based on the results of this study, the endometrial blood flow was significantly different between the two groups of pregnant and non-pregnant women, so that a higher pregnancy rate was observed in participants with multi-focal and spare endometrial blood flows (P<0.05). Additionally, a significant relationship between endometrial blood flow and pregnancy outcome so that there was more ongoing pregnancy rates in those with multi-focal and spare endometrial blood flows (P<0.05). But the endometrial variables of volume, length, width, thickness and pattern were not significantly different between the two groups of pregnant and non-pregnant women. Moreover, contextual parameters had no significant relationship with pregnancy outcome (P>0.05). Endometrial measurement indices were also ineffective on pregnancy outcomes and no significant difference was there between the groups (P>0.05).
Conclusion: Collectively, the endometrial blood flow can play an effective role in improving pregnancy event and its stability after IVF, but the endometrial volume was unable to predict pregnancy event and its stability after IVF. |
| Evaluation of Oxidative Stress in Azoxymethane-induced Colon Cancerous Fischer Rats | Author : Naveena Lavanya Latha | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Objective: to study the redox status of normal colon and aberrant crypts formed in azoxymethane induced colon cancerous fischer rats.
Methods A total of 16 five-week-old male Fisher 344 rats (Rattus norvegicus), weighing approximately 90–100 grams were housed individually in plastic cages with wood-chip bedding. The animals were acclimatized for 1 week and fed with an American Institute of Nutrition (AIN-93G) diet ad libitum. Their protein oxidation, DNA damage, lipid peroxidation and antioxidants, glutathione (GSH), and antioxidative enzymes in serum were detected.
Results The levels of protein oxidation Sand lipid peroxidation were significantly higher in the study group than in the control group (P<0.01). However, the mean serum level of MDA and conjugated diene was lower in the study group than in the control group (P<0.01). The activity of antioxidative enzymes was significantly decreased in the study group compared to control group (P<0.01).
Conclusion Colorectal cancer is associated with oxidative stress, and assessment of oxidative stress and given antioxidants is important for the treatment and prevention of colorectal cancer. |
