According to a report by the Kyodo News Agency on May 14th, a research team consisting of Keio University and Shiga Medical University in Japan announced at the Japan Obstetrics Gynecology Association held in Sendai City that the uterus that has been removed from monkeys has been successfully transplanted. Other monkeys make them pregnant. Keio Yoshi (Gynecology), a special assistant to Keio University, said that “the scientific and technical data are available.†In the future, we will strive to implement the first human-transplanted uterus transplant in the country, so that women who have no uterus due to illness can also have children. .
Sweden and other overseas countries have already implemented human uterine transplantation, and 11 people have been born. However, because the uterus is not the heart, the liver, and other life-related internal organs, it is based on ethical and safety perspectives. The implementation of uterine transplantation requires the approval of the ethics committee of the school and the understanding of the relevant society, and it is expected to face twists and turns.
The team transplanted the uterus from another cynomolgus monkey for the cynomolgus monkey that removed the uterus last January. Soon after, the former recovered menstruation. In April this year, fertilized eggs were made with other monkey eggs and sperm and implanted into the body. As a result, the pregnancy was confirmed this month.
It is said that the team has successfully re-implanted the removed uterus into the same monkey to make it pregnant, and the case of transplanting the uterus from other monkeys and getting pregnant is the first time.
MRKH syndrome in which the congenital uterus is missing and patients who have lost their uterus due to cancer treatment are said to have about 60,000 to 70,000 people in Japan. Many of them hope that they can become pregnant and have a uterus transplant. It is expected that pregnancy will be achieved by implanting fertilized eggs that have been previously in vitro fertilized into the uterus.
On the other hand, the envisaged uterus provider is mainly a relative such as a mother, and it is a big problem that the donor body with a high age is burdened. In addition, patients also need to use immunosuppressants after transplantation, which may be prone to problems during pregnancy and childbirth. (Reporter Wang Huan)
