Abstract
Objective
To study the effect of low-dose aspirin combined with letrozole on serum visfatin, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1) and pregnancy rate in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS).
Methods
From November 2016 to November 2018, 110 patients with PCOS in the Third People's Hospital of Datong were selected.According to the random number table, they were divided into the observation group(60 cases) and the control group(50 cases). The control group was treated with letrozole, while the observation group was given letrozole combined with low-dose aspirin.The patients were continuously treated for 3 menstrual cycles.The changes of the serum visfatin, MCP-1, sex hormones, uterine artery blood flow before and after treatment, pregnancy and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.
Results
After treatment, the serum visfatin, MCP-1, testosterone (T), luteinizing hormone (LH), LH/follicular estrogen (FSH), uterine arterial pulsation index (PI) and resistance index (RI) in the observation group were (11.03±2.17)ng/mL, (99.31±14.50)ng/L, (1.57±0.29)mmol/L, (6.57±1.30)U/L, (1.16±0.22), (1.07±0.24), (0.41±0.08), respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group[(15.57±2.56)ng/mL, (121.29±20.37)ng/L, (1.78±0.32)mmol/L, (8.40±1.88)U/L, (1.50±0.27), (1.45±0.29), (0.57±0.11)], the differences were statistically significant(t=10.068, 6.593, 3.608, 6.012, 7.278, 7.521, 8.815, all P 0.05).
Conclusion
Low-dose aspirin combined with letrozole in the treatment of PCOS can effectively reduce the serum visfatin and MCP-1, regulate the sex hormones levels, improve uterine artery blood flow, improve pregnancy rate, and without increasing adverse drug reactions, so it's worthy of popularizing.
