Li C, Huang Y, Xie L, Huang X. The diagnostic value of hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography in female infertility of the fallopian tube. Pak J Med Sci 2023; 39:931-935. [PMID: 37492305 PMCID: PMC10364274 DOI: 10.12669/pjms.39.4.7462] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2022] [Revised: 12/23/2022] [Accepted: 03/28/2023] [Indexed: 07/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective To explore the clinical diagnostic value of hysterosalpingo-contrast sonograghy (HyCoSy) in female infertility of the fallopian tube. Methods One hundred nineteen female infertility patients who underwent laparoscopy in Shenzhen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese medicine (Longgang) and Longgang District People's Hospital of Shenzhen City from June 2019 to December 2021. Patients diagnosed with fallopian tube obstruction; 119 patients included 233 fallopian tubes (five patients had the affected fallopian tubes removed due to ectopic pregnancy) were selected for HyCoSy, and then the results of laparoscopic examination were taken as the gold standard for diagnosis. The authenticity of the diagnostic test was evaluated using four grid table data, and the consistency of the two diagnostic methods of hysterosalpingography and laparoscopy was compared by Kappa test. Results Of the 233 fallopian tubes assessed, 139 were unobstructed, 50 were blocked at the proximal end and 44 were blocked at the distal end by laparoscopy. The results of HyCoSy showed that 115 were unobstructed, seventy three was considered proximal obstruction and 45 were distal obstruction. When compared to laparoscopy, the accuracy of HyCoSy in the diagnosis of tubal patency, proximal obstruction and distal obstruction was 74.2%, 78.1% and 80.7%, respectively. Two methods had good consistency in the diagnosis of tubal patency (Kappa=0.486) and proximal tubal obstruction (Kappa=0.444), and poor consistency in the diagnosis of distal tubal obstruction (Kappa=0.375). Conclusion Laparoscopy and HyCoSy are both useful in the diagnosis and etiological analysis of female infertility. HyCoSy can be the first choice, those who have doubts about the screening results can actively carry out laparoscopy to further improve the accuracy of diagnosis and etiological analysis of this disease.

Clinical indocyanine green-based silk fibroin theranostic nanoprobes for in vivo NIR-I/II fluorescence imaging of cervical diseases. NANOMEDICINE : NANOTECHNOLOGY, BIOLOGY, AND MEDICINE 2023; 47:102615. [PMID: 36265558 DOI: 10.1016/j.nano.2022.102615] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2022] [Revised: 10/10/2022] [Accepted: 10/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
Cervical diseases such as lymph node disease and tubal obstruction have threatened women's health. However, the traditional diagnostic methods still have shortcomings. NIR-II fluorescence imaging with advantages of low scattering, negligible autofluorescence, and high spatial resolution could be an ideal option. To obtain high quality NIR-II fluorescence imaging, selecting appropriate nanoprobes becomes the important issue. As a small molecular photothermal agent, extensive applications of ICG are rather limited because of its drawbacks. Herein, natural silk fibroin (SF) was synthesized and encapsulated ICG molecules to form SF@ICG nanoparticles (NPs). After detailed analysis, SF@ICG NPs showed excellent stability and long circulation time, as well as strong NIR-II fluorescence emission, well photo-stability, biocompatibility and well photothermal property under 808 nm laser irradiation. Furthermore, SF@ICG NPs were utilized for NIR-II fluorescence imaging of lymph node/lymphangiography and angiography of fallopian tubes. The process of fallopian tubes could be detected with high resolution and high sensitivity.

Correlation between hysterosalpingography diagnosis and final hysterolaparoscopy with dye-test diagnosis in women with utero-tubal infertility: A cross-sectional study of the implication for which test should be the first-line investigation. SAGE Open Med 2022; 10:20503121221104434. [PMID: 35722440 PMCID: PMC9201303 DOI: 10.1177/20503121221104434] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2022] [Accepted: 05/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: To assess the accuracy of hysterosalpingography in diagnosis of uterine
and/or tubal factor infertility, using hysterolaparoscopy with dye test as
the gold standard with an implication for which test should be the
first-line investigation. Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study of 96 women who underwent
hysterosalpingography and hysterolaparoscopy with dye test. All women within
reproductive age group with utero-tubal infertility who underwent both
hysterosalpingography and hysterolaparoscopy with dye-test procedure were
included. The outcome measures were proportions of tubal blockage and
intrauterine pathology. Individual and overall mean accuracy were calculated
for hysterosalpingography, using hysterolaparoscopy with dye test as the
gold standard. Patient had procedure of hysterosalpingography first and both
laparoscopic surgeons and patients were blinded to the outcome of
hysterolaparoscopy with dye test until analysis. Statistical significance
was set at p < 0.05. Results: Overall, 128 women were assessed for eligibility while 96 women finally
completed the study. Hysterosalpingography demonstrated diagnostic accuracy
of 77.8% (p < 0.001), 76.3% (p < 0.001) and 78.3% (p < 0.001) for
right, left and bilateral tubal blockage, respectively. Overall accuracy of
hysterosalpingography tubal factor assessment was 77.4 ± 0.8% (95%
confidence interval = 76.5% to 78.4%). Hysterosalpingography showed an
accuracy of 85.7%, 86.6% and 76.7% for right, left and bilateral
hydrosalpinx, respectively, given overall diagnostic accuracy of 83.0 ± 5.1%
(95% confidence interval = 77.9% to 88.1%). Overall accuracy of
hysterosalpingography in diagnosing intrauterine pathology was 68.5 ± 9.8%
(95% confidence interval = 53.9% to 83.1%). Conclusion: Hysterosalpingography detects tubal blockade and intrauterine pathology
poorly compared to hysterolaparoscopy with dye test. Hysterosalpingography
may face unpredictable clinical situations biased by technological error,
leading to unsuccessful evaluation and uncertain diagnosis. Although the
cost-effectiveness, risk of surgery or anaesthesia flaws hysterolaparoscopy
with dye test. Hysterosalpingography should not be the first-line
utero-tubal assessment tool rather hysterolaparoscopy with dye test.
