Estrogen receptor and Progesterone receptor expressions at the edge of the targeted region of uterus fibroids ablated by acoustic power
Objective:To probe the expressions of estrogen receptor(ER) and progesterone receptor(PR) at the edge of the targeted region of uterus fibroids ablated by acoustic power.Methods:Uterus fibroids of human being
in vitro
allowed by the Ethics Committee of the Chongqing Medical University and patients
were ablated by high intensity focused ultrasound(HIFU)
under the acoustic power of 300 W for 5 s.ER and PR expressions of the targeted and the non-targeted regions were examined by immunohist-ochemical staining.Results and Conclusion:Both ER and PR expressions in the HIFU targeted region were negative.At the edge of the targeted region
both ER and PR expressions were decreased
significantly lower than the non-targeted region(P<0.01)
which demonstrated ultrasound ablation is effective and may have potentiality to decrease recurrence.
