This prospective clinical study evaluated whether Danchi decoction affects aromatizing enzyme (P450arom) expression and survivin in eutopic endometrium of 20 patients with endometriosis after conservative surgery, comparing a Danchi decoction group with a western medicine positive-control group (GnRH-a or gestrinone) and a normal control group with no drug treatment. Immunohistochemistry was used to measure P450arom and survivin in eutopic endometrium before treatment and at 3 months, and both treatment groups showed markedly decreased expression after therapy relative to baseline, with no significant difference between TCM and WM groups. The paper’s stated limitation is that its findings are based on a small sample size and only two biomarkers measured at one follow-up timepoint. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it tests Danchi decoction after conservative surgery and reports changes in P450arom and survivin in eutopic endometrium in relation to recurrence.

Abstract

Background: Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease, which can seriously affect the physical and mental health of patients. However, there is not a satisfactory way to treat endometriosis with a low recurrence rate. Materials and Methods: Including twenty patients with endometriosis given conservative surgery, a prospective clinical study was performed with randomly grouping and positive control. The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and western medicine (WM) groups were given Danchi decoction and GnRH-a or gestrinone respectively. Treatment was given in 1–5 days during the first menstruation. The eutopic endometriums were collected before and 3 months after the treatment, respectively. Then immunohistochemistry was performed to obtain the expressions of P450arom and survivin. In the normal control (NC) group no drugs were administered. Results: Before the treatment, the expressions of P450arom and survivin in both TCM and WM groups were much higher than the NC group (P0.05). The expressions of the two groups were remarkably decreased after the treatment (P0.05). Conclusion: Danchi decoction can control the recurrence of endometriosis by restraining abnormal secretion of aromatizing enzyme and regulating cell apoptosis in eutopic endometrium. Excessive expressions of aromatizing enzyme and decreased apoptosis are a possible mechanism of endometriosis recurrence.
