Abstract:Objective To investigate the role of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) combined with levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) in the neutralization of serum epithelial cells in patients with endometriosis (EMT) after surgery of granulocyte activation peptide-78 (ENA-78) and monocyte chemokine-1 (MCP-1) levels. Methods Ninety-six patients with EMT undergoing laparoscopic surgery in our hospital from July 2013 to February 2016 were included in the study and included either a control group (GnRH-a alone) or an observation group (GnRH-a combined with LNG-IUS), 48 cases in each group. Patients’ pain visual analogue scale (VAS), serum ENA were recorded before treatment (T0) and treatment 3rd (T1), 6th (T2), 12th (T3), 24th (T4) months by outpatient review or telephone follow-up. Serum ENA-78, MCP1, and carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) levels, and the differences in relapse rate and adverse drug response rates between the two groups. Results The VAS scores and the expression differences of ENA-78, MCP-1 and CA125 at different time points were statistically significant (P < 0.05); the difference in VAS score, ENA-78, MCP-1, and CA125 between the observation group and the control group was also statistically significant (P < 0.05). At the same time, the observation group and the control group were statistically significant in the trends of VAS score and the expression levels of ENA-78, MCP-1 and CA125. (P < 0.05). The recurrence rate of observation group was lower than that of control group (P < 0.05). In addition, both groups were treated during no serious adverse drug reactions were observed. Conclusions GnRH-a combined with LNG-IUS can not only reduce the serum ENA-78, MCP-1, and CA125 levels in patients with EMs, relieve pain and reduce postoperative recurrence rate, but also has high safety, which is worthy of clinical application.
