Abstract:Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Hongteng mixture enema combined with tubal fluidization in the treatment of tubal obstructive infertility and its impact on the local microenvironment of the pelvis.Method The 140 patients were randomly divided into observation group and control group, 70 cases in each group. The control group was treated with salpingectomy. The observation group was given Hongteng mixture enema on the basis of the treatment of the control group. All patients had been observed for 3 months and performed a hysterosalpingogram. Tubal recanalization after treatment was compared between two groups. Patients with recanalization were followed up for 12 months to compare pregnancy and recurrence. Comparisons of TCM symptoms, local signs before and after treatment, endometrial thickness, endometrial type, endometrial arterial resistance index (RI), pulsatility index (PI), and vascularized flow index (VFI) were performed. The levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) in uterine fluid before and after treatment were detected. Menstrual blood chemokine 1 (CXCL1), CXCL13, IL-6, and TNF-α levels before and after treatment were detected. Safety evaluation was conducted.Result After treatment, the recanalization rate of fallopian tubes in the observation group was 76.19% (48/63), which was higher than 58.06% (36/62) in the control group (P < 0.05). During the one-year follow-up period, the pregnancy rate in the observation group was 70.83% (34/48), which was higher than that in the control group, which was 44.44% (16/36) (P < 0.05). The recurrence rate in the observation group was 12.50% (6/48), which was lower than 30.56% (11/36) in the control group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the scores of TCM symptoms and local signs in the two groups were significantly decreased (P < 0.05), and the data in observation group was lower than that in control group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the endometrial thickness, the proportion of type A endometrial and VFI in the two groups increased (P < 0.05), while the RI and PI decreased (P < 0.05). The VFI in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, while the RI and PI were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the levels of IL-6, TNF-α, TGF-β1 and CTGF in the uterine fluid of the two groups of patients were decreased (P < 0.05), and the levels were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the menstrual blood levels of CXCL1, CXCL13, IL-6 and TNF-α in the two groups were significantly decreased (P < 0.05), and the observation group was lower than the control group (P < 0.05). No adverse reactions related to the use of Hongteng mixture enema were found during this study.Conclusion Hongteng mixture enema combined with tubal cannulation in the treatment of TOI can relieve clinical symptoms, improve local microcirculation and local microenvironment, increase tubal recanalization rate and clinical pregnancy rate, and reduce recurrence rate. It was safe for clinical use.
