    Abstract Objective: To investigate the adverse effects of phthalate-induced ovarian toxicity on the ovarian reserve and ovarian function. To assess whether the accumulation of higher levels of selected phthalate metabolites in the follicular fluid (FF) of Indian women undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) was associated with a decline in their antral follicle count (AFC) and/or serum antimüllerian hormone (AMH) levels, suggesting a negative impact on the ovarian reserve. To evaluate the effects of follicular phthalate metabolites on peak serum estradiol (E
    Design: A subanalysis of an ongoing prospective cohort study was conducted to examine the association between the levels of six phthalate metabolites, namely, mono-n-butyl phthalate (MBP), mono-ethyl phthalate (MEP), mono-isononyl phthalate (MiNP), mono-isodecyl phthalate (MiDP), mono(2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl) phthalate, and mono(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate, in the FF of Indian women undergoing ICSI and their ovarian reserve markers (AFC and serum AMH levels). To investigate the association of these follicular phthalate metabolite levels with the peak E
    Setting: In vitro fertilization center in a referral hospital in India.
    Patient(s): A total of 245 consenting Indian women who had undergone oocyte retrieval between April 2017 and mid-March 2020 were included. Each woman contributed one FF sample to the study. This was screened for six phthalate metabolites. The samples were collected before the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.
    Intervention(s): Using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, the total levels of six phthalate metabolites were quantified in the FF of 245 women. Using linear regression models that were unadjusted and adjusted for maternal age and body mass index (BMI), we evaluated the association between the follicular metabolites in these women and their AFC, serum AMH levels, peak E
    Main outcome measure(s): To evaluate the impact of phthalate-induced ovarian toxicity on the ovarian reserve and ovarian function in Indian women undergoing ICSI by studying their accumulated levels in their FF.
    Result(s): For MiNP (a metabolite of di-isononyl phthalate), in linear regression models adjusted for age and BMI, we found that with increasing quartiles of follicular MiNP, there was a significant trend in the decrease in mean AFC (P-trend = 0.023) and a suggestive trend in the decrease in mean serum AMH levels (P-trend = 0.077). For MiDP (a metabolite of di-isodecyl phthalate), in the unadjusted regression model, we found that with increasing quartiles of follicular MiDP, there was a significant trend in the decrease in mean serum AMH levels (P-trend = 0.045). For MBP (a metabolite of dibutyl phthalate), in linear regression models adjusted for age and BMI, we found that with increasing quartiles of follicular MBP, there were significant trends in the decrease in the mean number of total oocytes retrieved (P-trend = 0.003), a decrease in the mean number of MII stage oocytes retrieved, (P-trend = 0.003) and a decrease in the mean peak E
    Conclusion: In this study of 245 Indian women, higher accumulated FF levels of MiNP and MiDP were negatively associated with AFC and serum AMH levels, suggesting an adverse effect on the ovarian reserve. Higher accumulated FF levels of MBP were negatively associated with the total number of oocytes, MII stage oocytes, and peak E

    Abstract Objective: To assess if the unprecedented changes in lifestyle because of the lockdown initiated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which altered human behavior, and influenced purchase and consumption patterns, may have had an impact on the exposure to phthalates in Indian women undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI). To evaluate if the effects of the strict and lengthy lockdown in India, which promoted the new norms of stay-at-home and work-from-home, closure of beauty parlors, and restriction on public gatherings, may have contributed to a decrease in the exposure to phthalates like dibutyl phthalate and diethyl phthalate. These chemicals are found in many personal care products (PCPs) which include cosmetics and fragrances. To investigate if the extensive use of flexible single-use plastic in personal protective equipment like face masks/gloves and in plastic packaging used for online purchases, food takeaways, and home deliveries of essentials and groceries during the COVID-19 pandemic, in an attempt to provide a contact-free delivery system may have inadvertently led to an increase in exposure to phthalates like di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, di-isononyl phthalate, and di-isodecyl phthalate which are plasticizers used in manufacturing flexible plastic.
    Design: A comparative study of the levels of six phthalate metabolites detected in follicular fluid (FF) of Indian women undergoing IVF/ICSI 1 year before and immediately after the lockdown initiated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Setting: In vitro fertilization center in a large referral hospital in India.
    Patient(s): A total of 176 Indian women seeking treatment for infertility and undergoing oocyte retrieval were included after obtaining consent. Each woman contributed one FF sample to the study. Group A (n = 96) women (mean age, 34.0 [±3.9] years, and mean BMI, 25.4 [±4.8]) had their FF samples collected and screened between January 2019 and mid-March 2020, 1 year before the lockdown. Group B (n = 80) women (mean age, 33.9 [±4.1] years, and mean BMI, 25.0 [±4.4]) had their FF collected and screened post the lockdown between October 2020 and June 2021. Both groups were matched by age and BMI.
    Intervention(s): The cryopreserved FF samples of 176 women were processed using enzymatic deconjugation as well as the solid-phase extraction technique, and analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to detect the total levels of six phthalate metabolites.
    Main outcome measure(s): To evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on the change in the phthalate metabolite levels in the FF of Indian women undergoing IVF/ICSI pre and post the lockdown.
    Result(s): The median levels of mono-n-butyl phthalate (1.64 ng/ml in group A vs. 0.93 ng/ml in group B; P<.001) and mono-ethyl phthalate (5.25 ng/ml in group A vs. 3.24 ng/ml in group B; P<.001) metabolites of dibutyl phthalate and diethyl phthalate found in PCPs including cosmetics and fragrances were significantly higher in the FF of 96 women (group A) compared with the levels seen in the FF of 80 women (group B). However, the median levels of mono-isononyl phthalate (0.11ng/ml in group A vs. 0.13 ng/ml in group B; P<.001), mono-isodecyl phthalate (0.11 ng/ml in group A vs. 0.14 ng/ml in group B; P<.001), and mono(2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl) phthalate (0.13 ng/ml in group A vs. 0.14 ng/ml in group B; P=.023) metabolites of di-isononyl phthalate, di-isodecyl phthalate, and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate used as plasticizers were significantly higher in the FF of women in group B compared with women in group A.
    Conclusion(s): The significant drop in mono-n-butyl phthalate and mono-ethyl phthalate levels, accumulated in the FF of 80 Indian women in group B reflects a decrease or absence of usage patterns of PCPs, including cosmetics and fragrances, thereby suggesting that these women may have deprioritized their use during the COVID-19 pandemic giving preference to personal hygiene and safety. Whereas the unprecedented increase in the use of flexible single-use plastic that became our first line of defense against the coronavirus during the COVID-19 pandemic might be responsible for the accumulation of significantly higher levels of mono-isononyl phthalate, mono-isodecyl phthalate, and mono(2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl) phthalate in FF of the same group.

    Abstract Problem: Diagnosis of female genital tuberculosis (FGTB) remains elusive due to the paucibacillary nature of the disease. We evaluated if analysis of inflammatory pathways of endometrial tissue could establish a better diagnosis of FGTB.
    Method of study: One hundred and four infertile women suspected of having GTB or having been treated for GTB in the past, underwent endometrial biopsies for diagnosis and Gene Inflammatory Pathways analysis at our center between 2018-2020. Diagnosis of FGTB was based on acid-fast bacilli culture, immunocytochemistry, nested-polymerase chain reaction, histopathological examination, TB GeneXpert, or combinations thereof. Gene expression profiles were also analyzed.
    Results: Based on diagnostic tests of 104 women, 44 (42%) were considered TB-positive, 35 (34%) TB-negative, and 25 (24%) TB-negative after TB treatment in the past. Inflammatory pathways were significantly upregulated in TB-positive women versus TB-negative (41% vs. 6%; p = .0005), and in women who were TB-negative after TB treatment in the past versus TB-negative (never treated for TB in the past) (38% vs. 6%; p = .0037). Two-hundred seventy-one genes were upregulated, and 61 genes were downregulated in TB-positive women versus those who were TB-negative. Differentially expressed genes were mapped to various interlinked inflammatory signaling pathways, including mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), Natural Killer (NK) cells, nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-kB), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and Toll-like receptors (TLR) signaling.
    Conclusions: Inflammatory pathways and gene expression profiles add to the diagnostic tools to identify TB-positive women at an early stage. The results from this study are still experimental and large multi-centric studies are suggested before their recommendation in routine clinical practice.
