چکیده

We assessed the urinary concentration of 16 phthalate metabolites in 57 women with and without uterine leiomyoma (n = 30 and 27; respectively) to determine the association between phthalate exposure and uterine leiomyoma. To evaluate exposure to di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP); we calculated the molar sum of DEHP metabolites; ∑3-DEHP (combining mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP); mono-(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate (MEHHP); and mono-(2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl) phthalate); ∑4-DEHP (∑3-DEHP plus mono-(2-ethyl-5-carboxypentyl) phthalate); and ∑5-DEHP (∑4-DEHP plus mono (2-(carboxylmethyl)hexyl) phthalate (2cx-MMHP)). The log transformed urinary levels of MEHP; MEHHP; 2cx-MMHP; ∑3-DEHP; ∑4-DEHP; and ∑5-DEHP in the leiomyoma group were significantly higher than those of controls. When we adjusted for age; waist circumference; and parity using multiple logistic regression analyses; we found log ∑3-DEHP (OR = 10.82; 95% CI = 1.25; 93.46) and ∑4-DEHP (OR = 8.78; 95% CI = 1.03; 75.29) were significantly associated with uterine leiomyoma. Our findings suggest an association between phthalate exposure and uterine leiomyoma. However; larger studies are needed to investigate potential interactions between phthalate exposure and uterine leiomyoma.

ارتباط بین پلی‌مورفیسم ((Ile105Val ژن گلوتاتیون S- ترانسفراز P1 (GSTP1) و خطر ابتلا به لیومیوم رحمی در جمعیت ایرانی

Background: Uterine leiomyoma is one of the most common benign smooth muscle tumors occurring in 20-40% of women worldwide in their reproductive years. Recent studies revealed that estrogen plays an important role in the pathogenesis of this disease. Since glutathione S-transferase (GST) gene family are involved in the biosynthesis of estrogen, the prior probability that variants at this locus ...

Uterine Leiomyoma and Reproductive Tract Infections Detected by Polymerase Chain Reaction

Background and Objective: For nearly a century, it has been suspected that reproductive tract infections play an etiologic role in uterine leiomyoma. However, no epidemiologic study of leiomyoma has used the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to compare uterine tissues from cases and non-cases, and to investigate associations between uterine leiomyoma and infections detected by PC...

Urinary retention and voiding dysfunction in women with uterine leiomyoma: a case series.

OBJECTIVE To examine urinary retention as an underreported complication of uterine leiomyoma. Reproductive-aged women with uterine leiomyoma often describe pelvic pressure and menorrhagia, however few complain of complete urinary retention. STUDY DESIGN We dis-cuss the cases of 8 women who presented to our emergency room with acute urinary retention over a 4-year period. RESULTS Patients ha...

Increased Serum Oxidative Stress Markers in Women with Uterine Leiomyoma

BACKGROUND Uterine leiomyomas (fibroids) are the most common gynaecological benign tumors in premenopausal women. Evidences support the role of oxidative stress in the development of uterine leiomyoma. We have analysed oxidative stress markers (thiols, advanced oxidized protein products (AOPP), protein carbonyls and nitrates/nitrites) in preoperative sera from women with histologically proven u...
