Effect of Gongliuxiao Capsule on sex hormones, tumor markers, inflammatory factors and vascular endothelial function in patients with uterine fibroids

摘要

Objective:To investigate the effects of Gongliuxiao Capsule on inflammatory factors, tumor markers, sex hormones and vascular endothelial function in patients with uterine fibroids. Methods:130 patients with uterine fibroids admitted to our hospital from October 2015 to March 2017 were enrolled. According to the treatment, they were divided into single treatment group and combined medication group, with 65 cases in each group. The changes of inflammatory factors, tumor markers, sex hormones and vascular endothelial function were compared before and after treatment in the two groups.Results: There were no significant differences in the levels of sex hormones, inflammatory factors, tumor markers and vascular endothelial function between the two groups (P>0.05). The levels of sex hormones E2, P, FSH and LH, the levels of inflammatory factors TNF-α, MMP-9 and IGF-1, tumor markers CA125, CA19-9 and vascular endothelial function VEGF and b-FGF were significantly lower in the two groups (P<0.05). The levels of E2, P, FSH and LH in the combined drug groupswere (154.12±16.20) pmol/L, (9.12±1.02) μg/L, (13.84±1.42) U/L and (12.77±1.36) U/L, respectively,which were significantly lower than the single drug group level (P<0.05). The levels of CA125 and CA19-9 in the combined drug group were (27.89±2.88) U/mL and (28.09±3.04) U/mL, respectively, which were significantly lower than the single drug group (P<0.05). The levels of TNF-α, MMP-9 and IGF-1 in the combined drug group were (24.16±2.63) ng/L, (159.22±16.82) μg/L and (69.75±7.09) μg/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than the single drug group(P<0.05). The levels of VEGF and b-FGF in the combination group were (138.29±14.32) μg/L and (98.59±10.02) μg/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than the single drug group (P<0.05).Conclusion:Mifepristone combined with Gongliuxiao Capsule can alleviate endocrine disorders, relieve inflammatory stress response and improve vascular endothelial function in patients with uterine fibroids. It is worthy of clinical application.
