Abstracts of 15th Congress of Iranian Society for Reproductive Medicine Results: In control group, there were 4 cases of B- Poster Presentations thyroid disease vs. 0 in case group (P=0.02). The mean average of ANA, dsDNA, RF, anti 1- Infertility, Gynecology thyroglobulin Ab, anti TPO (anti microsomal Ab) and TSH didn’t have any significant differences P-1 between two groups. Evaluation of the thyroid autoimmunity in Conclusion: Based on our study, we couldn’t find POF women in comparison with normal any disturbances either in immunological tests or ovulatory women in thyroid function of POF women as compared with normal ovulatory women. 1 2 Mohammadzadeh A , Jeddi-Tehrani M , Arefi Key words: POF, Anti TPO, TSH, Immunology. 1 3 4 S , Soltanghoraee H , Zeraati H . 1 Department of Reproductive Endocrinology and P-2 Embryology, Research Center of Reproductive Comparative molecular and culture-based Biotechnology, Aviccena Research Institute, ACERCR, diagnosis of vaginal colonization by group B Tehran, Iran. streptococcus in pregnant women during 2 Department of Monoclonal Antibodies, Research labor Center of Monoclonal Antibodies, Aviccena Research Institute, ACERCR, Tehran, Iran.

POF is a pathological condition and Introduction: Group B Streptococci (GBS) or has negative effect on the health of affected Streptococcus agalactiae are members of the women and leads to infertility. The main etiology normal flora of the female genital tract and are an of this disease is unknown but in many studies, important etiological agent of neonatal sepsis and immunological disturbances especially against meningitis. thyroid glands have been introduced as possible Rapid detection methods for GBS may be causes. advantageous for women who present in labor However, it hasn’t been proven by other studies. without any information on their GBS colonization The aim of this study is the evaluation of several status and allow early treatment of neonates. This immunological tests in the POF women in study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of comparison with normal ovulatory women. PCR assay for detection of group B Streptococcus Materials and Methods: This prospective clinical using a specific culture method. case-control trial was done in Avicenna Infertility Materials and Methods: Two swabs were used to Clinic on 30 nonsmoking women with spontaneous obtain vaginal specimen from 330 pregnant POF at least for 1 year who didn’t have any women attending delivery room at Hedayat previous history of bilateral oophorectomy, Hospital, Tehran, Iran, from April through July chemotherapy and radiotherapy with the serum rd 2008. A swab was immediately placed into Amies FSH 3 level more than 30U/L (case group) and transport medium with charcoal (Hi-Media, India) compared with 30 nonsmoking normal ovulatory and another swab was soaked in tube containing 1 women (<40 years.old) who were under infertility ml of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), (pH 7.2). workup for male factor with serum FSH level One swab was analyzed using a specific culture lower than 8 U/L (control group). The below stated method, which included direct plating onto tests were done in each group: ANA, dsDNA, RF, selective GBS agar medium (Islam).

We studied pregnant confirm amplicon production, the PCR products women during labor phase to determine the were analyzed by electrophoresis. prevalence of Lactobacillus species and effective Results: Among the 330 pregnant women, 68 factors on vaginal colonization of these bacteria. (20.6%) (95% CI 16.7-24.5%) were identified as Materials and Methods: A total of 330 vaginal carriers of group B Streptococci on the basis of the swabs were collected from women attending results of culture on GBS agar. Both of the culture delivery room at Hedayat Hospital, Tehran, Iran, and PCR methods were positive for 56 (17%) and from April through July 2008. Cotton swabs negative for 253 (76.6%) women. The culture contaminated with vaginal fluid were placed in method was positive and PCR was negative in 12 tubes contained 1 ml phosphate-buffered saline (3.6%) women. The culture was negative and the (PBS), (pH 7.2) and with completed questionnaire PCR positive for 9 (2.7%) women. Sensitivity of forms, transported to the Avicenna laboratory the PCR assay was 82.3% (95% CI 78.4-86.2%) daily. DNA was extracted from the bacteria and specificity was 96.5% (95% CI 94.5-98.4%). present on vaginal swabs and PCR assay was The positive predictive value was 86.15% and carried out by universal primers which uses negative predictive value was 95.4%. amplification to detect the presence of the 16s Conclusion: The results of our study indicate that rRNA gene of Lactobacillus species. The length of the colonization rate of GBS in studied population the amplified product is 231-233 bp. To confirm of pregnant women is relatively high.
