As the perception on abortion changes into a social problem, it is high time to also change the notion of criminalizing abortion. This necessitates the creation of societal structures that will respond to it. This study aimed to review the abortion counseling system that responds to the pregnancy and childbirth crisis. We conducted a review of the literatures and documentations made available through search engines, including cases overseas. In addition, we analyzed the currently operating pregnancy and childbirth-related service systems and reviewed the issues being discussed in Korea regarding artificial abortion. Based on these analyses, we suggest steps that can be taken for the revision of the law as Constitutional Discordance determining on abortion clause of criminal law. In addition, we propose a plan to establish an appropriate abortion counseling system that will respond to the domestic pregnancy and childbirth crisis.

Placental mesenchymal dysplasia (PMD) and partial hydatidiform mole (PHM) placentas share similar characteristics, such as placental overgrowth and grape-like placental tissues. Distinguishing PMD from PHM is critical because the former can result in normal birth, while the latter diagnosis will lead to artificial abortion. Aneuploidy and altered dosage of imprinted gene expression are implicated in the pathogenesis of PHM and also some of the PMD cases. Diandric triploidy is the main cause of PHM, whereas mosaic diploid androgenetic cells in the placental tissue have been associated with the formation of PMD. Here, we report a very special PMD case also presenting with trophoblast hyperplasia phenotype, which is a hallmark of PHM. This PMD placenta has a normal biparental diploid karyotype and is functionally sufficient to support normal fetal growth. We took advantage of this unique case to further dissected the potential common etiology between these two diseases. We show that the differentially methylated region (DMR) at NESP55, a secondary DMR residing in the GNAS locus, is significantly hypermethylated in the PMD placenta. Furthermore, we found heterozygous mutations in NLRP2 and homozygous variants in NLRP7 in the mother’s genome. NLRP2 and NLRP7 are known maternal effect genes, and their mutation in pregnant females affects fetal development. The variants/mutations in both genes have been associated with imprinting defects in mole formation and potentially contributed to the mild abnormal imprinting observed in this case. Finally, we identified heterozygous mutations in the X-linked ATRX gene, a known maternal–zygotic imprinting regulator in the patient. Overall, our study demonstrates that PMD and PHM may share overlapping etiologies with the defective/relaxed dosage control of imprinted genes, representing two extreme ends of a spectrum.

Abstract Background: The complications after induced abortion are the important factors that endanger female reproductive health. The effective prevention way of postoperative complications after induced abortion and protection of female reproductive tract health is now a hot issue. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on postoperative complications after artificial abortion.Methods: A total of 148 patients were randomized into 2 groups in this study. 76 patients were assigned into a treatment group which also called group A, and underwent NMES therapy, while 72 women were assigned into a controlled team named group B. The duration of postoperative uterine contraction pain, the amount and duration of postoperative vaginal bleeding, the endometrial thickness on the 14th and 21st day after the operation, the time of postoperative menstruation recovery, and the incidence of intrauterine adhesion on the 1st and 3rd month after operation were compared and observed.Results: Compared with group B, in group A, The duration of postoperative uterine contraction pain was significantly shorter(P<0.001); The amount and duration of postoperative vaginal bleeding were less after treatment by the NMES (P=.016); There was no significant difference in endometrial thickness on the 14th day after the operation(P=.05), Whereas it was thicker in the observation group than in the control group on the 21st day(P=.01); The menstruation recovery time was shorter after treatment (P=.017); The incidence of intrauterine adhesions was significantly lower at the third months after operation (P=.03)while at the first month, there is no difference(p>0.99).Conclusion: Neuromuscular Electrical stimulation therapy is effective for improving patients with postoperative complications after artificial abortion.

These issues are strongly interrelated since without proper sex education there is a lack of knowledge about contraceptive methods and the consequences of unwanted pregnancies are often artificial abortions. However, if we get ahead of the process and develop an education system, that includes the spreading of correct sexual behaviour and enlightenment may be a significant rate of abortions could be prevented. The aim of this study is to emphasize the importance of sexual education in our accelerated social environment. There are presented diverse methods of contraception and their correct application from the very beginning. Proper knowledge about these methods is essential, thus everybody will find the most suitable personal techniques. While discussing the current legislation of artificial abortion, it is necessary to point out that this is a very complex issue, because abortion laws of many countries mirror social and economical interests thus overshadowing the very strong ethical nature of the topic. There are detailed also psychological impacts of abortion and types of social exclusion since without these aspects it is impossible to draw a realistic picture of the subject.

Recently, two works have appeared in the Russian medical literature, treating about scooping or scraping as a method for producing a legitimate artificial miscarriage: part of the pr., I. Lvov), and part of the pr., A. A. Muratov). Both of these authors refer to an article by Dr. P. Puech, entitled: "Du Curettage comme mthode d'avortement artificiel", published in the August book of Annales de Gyncologie et d'obsttr. for 1895. Within the meaning of this reference, one may think that Puech was the first to recommend this method in print as an independent one and pointed out its advantages over all other methods practiced before to induce an artificial abortion. Lvov (1. p.), Says: True, many other authors resorted to removing the fetal egg from the uterus with a sharp or blunt spoon, but they resorted to this method not on their own, but accidentally, as an auxiliary technique when it was impossible to remove fertile eggs in another way.

Objective To examine potential risk factors associated with the success rate following fallopian tube recanalization (FTR) in infertile women with obstruction of the proximal fallopian tube. Methods We retrospectively studied patients who underwent FTR for tubal obstructive infertility between January 2016 and December 2018 at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University. FTR was performed using a catheter and guidewire system to clear tubal obstruction. Predictive factors potentially associated with the success rate were assessed by logistic regression. Results A total of 762 patients were included. Multivariable analysis showed that age (odds ratio [OR] = 2.38, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.24–4.58), infertility type (OR = 2.82, 95% CI: 1.36–6.21), history of ectopic pregnancy (OR = 7.87, 95% CI: 4.05–15.81), history of abdominal surgery (OR = 4.30, 95% CI: 2.22–8.60), history of artificial abortion curettage (OR = 4.08, 95% CI: 2.12–8.03), and duration of infertility (OR = 2.03, 95% CI: 1.06–3.85) were independently associated with postoperative tubal patency. Conclusions Our findings suggest that risk factors, such as age ≥35 years, secondary infertility, duration of infertility ≥5 years, and histories of ectopic pregnancy, abdominal surgery, and artificial abortion curettage, affect the success rate of FTR. These factors may also predict surgical success in treating tubal obstructive infertility.

Objective: To investigate the anesthetic effect of dezocine and remifentanil combined with propofol in painless artificial abortion. Methods: 90 cases in total of painless induced abortion in our hospital from May 2017 to May 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, 29 cases of propofol anesthesia (group A), 29 cases of dezocine combined with propofol anesthesia (group B), and 32 cases of remifentanil combined with propofol anesthesia (group C) were compared the anesthesia situation.  Results: Compared with the cases in group A, the incidence of pain, body movement and SPO2<90% at the injection site were lower in group B and group C, the use of propofol was reduced, and the VAS scores were lower when the patients begin to awake, and the efficiency was higher than that in group A(P<0.05); there was no statistic difference in the changes of SBP, DBP and HR index data in the operation time, postoperative awake time, and preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative time points of the three groups(P>0.05). Conclusion: Dezocine and remifentanil combined with propofol for painless artificial abortion anesthesia has more significant effect than propofol anesthesia alone, which can relieve patients' pain and reduce the chance of respiratory depression.
