Objective: This study investigated the therapeutic effect of 4-dimensional hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (4D-HyCoSy) combined with hydrotubation in the treatment of tubal obstruction and the risk factors affecting treatment outcomes.
Methods: Data of 700 fallopian tubes which underwent 4D-HyCoSy at the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from Jul 2018 to Dec 2024 were retrospectively analysed. Subjects (408 fallopian tubes) were the fallopian tubes which were diagnosed with tubal obstruction. They were divided into 2 groups, namely an experimental group, in which triple anti-inflammatory medication was injected after 4D-HyCoSy, and a control group, in which the same dose of saline was injected following 4D-HyCoSy. 4D-HyCoSy was performed again after 1 month. The treatment outcomes between the 2 groups were compared and analysed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed on the clinical data and the 4D-HyCoSy imaging data in the experimental group.
Results: (1) Post-therapeutic tubal patency: 11.27% of the tubes in the experimental group were diagnosed as tubal patency post-therapeutically, while 87.25% were diagnosed as tubal obstruction . The level of tubal patency of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group (p< 0.05). (2) Therapeutic effect in tubal obstruction: The total effective rate of the experimental group was 27.94%. The therapeutic effect in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group (p< 0.05). (3) Differences in pre-therapeutic tubal visualization and peri-ovarian contrast media diffusion had a significant effect, and were independent risk factors affecting the therapeutic effect of the combined therapy of 4D-HyCoSy and hydrotubation (p< 0.05).
Conclusions: (1) The combination of 4D-HyCoSy and hydrotubation for the treatment of tubal obstruction unblocked the fallopian tubes with a remarkable therapeutic effect. (2) Pre-therapeutic tubal visualization and peri-ovarian contrast media diffusion are independent risk factors closely related to treatment outcomes.

In 2014, FIGO's Committee for Gynecologic Oncology revised the staging of ovarian cancer, incorporating ovarian, fallopian tube, and peritoneal cancer into the same system. Most of these malignancies are high-grade serous carcinomas (HGSCs). Stage IC is now divided into three categories: IC1 (surgical spill), IC2 (capsule ruptured before surgery or tumor on ovarian or fallopian tube surface), and IC3 (malignant cells in the ascites or peritoneal washings).

To evaluate and compare pregnancy outcomes following successful fluoroscopy-guided tubal recanalization (FGTR), focusing on spontaneous conception versus intrauterine insemination (IUI). This retrospective cohort study included 139 women aged 21-40 years who underwent FGTR for tubal occlusion between January 2021 and May 2024. After exclusions, 80 women attempted natural conception, and 59 underwent IUI with ovarian stimulation.

Tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) is an intra-abdominal infection that can cause mortality, involves other organs in the abdomen, and can cause many surgical complications. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of delta neutrophil index (DNI) and other inflammation markers in the prognosis of patients with TOA and in predicting adverse events in TOA surgery. This study is the first study on this subject in the literature.

Background: A Sister Mary Joseph's nodule is an umbilical metastasis from an intra-abdominal or pelvic malignancy, associated with a poor prognosis. Three possible metastatic pathways for Sister Mary Joseph's nodule have been postulated: hematogenous spread, lymphatic dissemination, and direct invasion. However, detailed analyses of these metastatic pathways, particularly those involving gene expression profiling, are lacking in literature.
