摘要

Objective: To compare the effects of treatment of tubal pregnancy (TP)and its following second pregnancy by intratubal methotrexate injection (IMI) alone and combination of IMI with Chinese herbal medicine.Methods: Thirty-five patients suffering from unruptured TP were divided into two groups at random

to the 19 patients in the treated group

the treatment of combined IMI with Ectopic Pregnancy decoction No. 2 (EP2

a traditional Chinese medical decoction) was applied

and to the other 16 patients in the control group

IMI alone was applied for control. Serum concentrations of human chorionic gonadotropin β (β-HCG)

size of the gestational sac

existent time of fetal cardiac beat and peritoneal fluid were measured before and after treatment. And hysterosalpingography were performed 6 months after ending the treatment to verify the presence of tubal obstruction and the condition of relapse.Results: The treatment of all the 35 women was successful. The recovery duration of serum β-HCG

disappearance duration of TP sac and existent time of peritoneal fluid in the treated group were 20.0±7.8 days

1.2±0.7 months and 10.7±2.9 days respectively

which were significantly different from those in the control group (24. 4 ±8.1 days

3.6±1.7 months and 19.1±3. 2 days respectively(P<0.05

P<0.01 and P<0.05 respectively)

but the existent time of fetal cardiac beat in the two groups (8.8±1.9 days vs 9.0±l. 3 days) was not significantly different (P>0.05). The post-treatment oviduct obstructive rate in the two groups was 10.5% and 43.8% respectively

that in the treatment group was less significant (P<0.05). The relapse rate of EP in the treatment group was insignificantly different from that in the control group (5.3% vs 18.8%

P>0.05).Conclusion: The two therapies (IMI alone and IMI combined with EP2) could obtain equal efficacy in curing TP. Compared with IMI alone

the combined therapy appears to have the effects of accelerating the resorption of gestational sac and peritoneal fluid

improving the patency of fallopian tube and ameliorating the circumstance of pregnancy

which is favorable to improvement of the re-pregnancy rate and reduction of the re-occurrence of ectopic pregnancy as well as to the enhancement of the effect of IMI in killing trophocytes. But there is not enough proof to show the potency of EP2 in killing embryo.

Abstract

to the 19 patients in the treated group

the treatment of combined IMI with Ectopic Pregnancy decoction No. 2 (EP2

a traditional Chinese medical decoction) was applied

and to the other 16 patients in the control group

IMI alone was applied for control. Serum concentrations of human chorionic gonadotropin β (β-HCG)

size of the gestational sac

disappearance duration of TP sac and existent time of peritoneal fluid in the treated group were 20.0±7.8 days

1.2±0.7 months and 10.7±2.9 days respectively

which were significantly different from those in the control group (24. 4 ±8.1 days

3.6±1.7 months and 19.1±3. 2 days respectively(P<0.05

P<0.01 and P<0.05 respectively)

that in the treatment group was less significant (P<0.05). The relapse rate of EP in the treatment group was insignificantly different from that in the control group (5.3% vs 18.8%

P>0.05).Conclusion: The two therapies (IMI alone and IMI combined with EP2) could obtain equal efficacy in curing TP. Compared with IMI alone

the combined therapy appears to have the effects of accelerating the resorption of gestational sac and peritoneal fluid

improving the patency of fallopian tube and ameliorating the circumstance of pregnancy
