To determine the effect of human interferon (IFN)-alpha-2b on experimental endometriosis in rats.
Experimental, controlled, double-blind randomized study.
Experimental surgery laboratory in a university department.
ANIMAL(S): Ninety-six Wistar rats with endometriosis, induced by transplanting four endometrial fragments into the peritoneal cavity.
INTERVENTION(S): One third of the animals served as controls (group A). The others were randomly divided into two groups and were given IFN-alpha-2b either as a single intraperitoneal dose (group B) or as three SC doses (on alternate days) (group C).
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Laparotomy was performed to measure the size of each implant at various times (days 0, 6, 12, 20, and 120 after treatment).
RESULT(S): There were no differences among the groups in the size of the average implants before IFN was administered (17.3+/-6.7, 19.7+/-7.8, and 18.1+/-9.2 mm for groups A, B, and C, respectively). These values were significantly smaller after treatment in group B (14.9+/-8.0 mm) and group C (14.0+/-9.5 mm) than in the control group (17.6+/-7.5 mm) (P<.05). Intraperitoneal IFN produced an initial maximum decrease in the size of the implants (40% reduction on day 6), which diminished until day 20 (20%) and then was maintained on a plateau until day 120 (25%). By contrast, group C showed an initial minimal reduction (13% at day 6), which increased up to day 20 (19%), after which a plateau was reached (23% at day 120). Thus, the effects in both treatment groups were similar in the long term.
CONCLUSION(S): Two short regimens of human IFN-alpha-2b reduced the size of experimental endometriosis in rats.
确定人干扰素(IFN)-α-2b对大鼠实验性子宫内膜异位症的影响。
实验性、对照、双盲随机研究。
大学某科室的实验外科实验室。
96只患有子宫内膜异位症的Wistar大鼠,通过将4个子宫内膜碎片移植到腹腔诱导而成。
三分之一的动物作为对照组(A组)。其余动物随机分为两组,分别给予单次腹腔注射IFN-α-2b(B组)或三次皮下注射(隔日注射)(C组)。
在不同时间(治疗后第0、6、12、20和120天)进行剖腹手术以测量每个植入物的大小。
在给予IFN之前,各组平均植入物大小无差异(A组、B组和C组分别为17.3±6.7、19.7±7.8和18.1±9.2mm)。治疗后,B组(14.9±8.0mm)和C组(14.0±9.5mm)的这些值明显小于对照组(17.6±7.5mm)(P<0.05)。腹腔注射IFN使植入物大小最初最大程度减小(第6天减少40%),到第20天减小程度减弱(20%),然后在第120天维持在平台期(25%)。相比之下,C组最初减小程度最小(第6天为13%),到第20天增加至(19%),之后达到平台期(第120天为23%)。因此,从长期来看,两个治疗组的效果相似。
两种短疗程的人IFN-α-2b可减小大鼠实验性子宫内膜异位症的大小。
