Objective To observe the application of different doses of mifepristone combined with dienogest in the treatment of endometriosis (EMT) and analyze its influence on angiogenesis. Methods A total of 204 patients with EMT from Jan 2021 to Jan 2023 were enrolled in the secoand Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu Medical College ·China National Nuclear corporation 4l6 Hospital as the study subjects. The patient were equally divided into four group using a numerical randomization method, including untreated group, mifepristone group, dienogest group and combined group. The efficacy, sex hormones, inflammatory factors, oxidative stress factors and angiogenesis indicators were compared among the groups. Results There was no significant difference in the clinical efficacy among the three treated groups (P>0.05). After treatment, the levels of estradiol (E2), progesterone (P), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), interleukin-1 β (IL-1β), interleukin-17 (IL-17), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), angiopoietin-Ⅱ(Ang-Ⅱ), reactive oxygen species (ROS) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the four groups were significantly different (P<0.05), and the E2, P, FSH, IL-1β, IL-17, MMP-9, Ang-Ⅱ, VEGF and ROS levels in dienogest group, mifepristone group and combined group were significantly lower than those in untreated group (P<0.05), and the above levels in combined group were significantly lower than those in dienogest group and mifepristone group (P<0.05), and the level of SOD was significantly higher than that in untreated group (P<0.05), and the level was significantly higher in combined group compared to dienogest group and mifepristone group (P<0.05). There was no obvious difference in the total incidence rate of adverse drug reactions among the three treated groups (P>0.05). Conclusion The combination of small-dose mifepristone and dienogest in the treatment of EMT can effectively inhibit body’s inflammation, oxidative stress and angiogenesis factors, and it has good safety.
