ER expression of fibroid when ablated in vitro at different temperatures (shown as the arrow, ×400). (A) Fibroid ablated at 60°C. (B) Fibroid ablated at 80°C. (C) Fibroid ablated at 100°C. (a) Group A. (b) Group B. (c) Group C. At temperatures 60, 80, and 100°C, the ER optical density was significantly different in the 3 different treatment groups: in group A, it was lesser than in group B, and in group B, it was lesser than in group C. In group A and group B, there were no significant difference in ER optical density between 60 and 80°C treatment groups (P > 0.05). However, optical density of ER was higher in 60°C treatment group and 80°C treatment group compared with 100°C treatment group (P < 0.05). In group C, there were no significant differences in ER optical density among the 3 temperature groups (P > 0.05). ER: estrogen receptor.
