چکیده

PURPOSE Chemokines play essential role not only in controlling leukocyte function and trafficking but also in the angiogenesis and modulation of inflammatory responses. MATERIAL AND METHODS A novel array-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to quantitate peritoneal fluid chemokines of 25 infertile women with endometriosis and 18 controls. For our preliminary studies we chose mini-array containing nine different chemokines: MDC/CCL22, TARC/CCL17, MCP-1/CCL2, RANTES/CCL5, MIP-1alpha/CCL3, -1beta/CCL4, -1delta/CCL15, -3alpha/CCL20, and -3beta/CCL19. RESULTS We found significantly higher MIP-3beta/CCL19 (P = 0.0036) concentrations in peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis as compared to patients with primary infertility without any signs of disease. CONCLUSIONS Our preliminary results suggest that MIP-3beta/ /CCL19 might play a role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis but its precise role remains to be established. Novel types of screening methods based on high-throughput technologies offer great opportunities to study immunobiology of endometriosis. It will hopefully provide new possibilities for discovery of new markers and potential drug targets.

The Correlation between Serum and Peritoneal Fluid CA125 Level in Women with Pelvic Endometriosis

Background Despite a high prevalence of endometriosis, there still exist many challenges in diagnosing the disease. This study aims to evaluate non-invasive and practical diagnostic methods by measuring serum and peritoneal fluid CA 125 levels in patients with endometriosis. A secondary aim is to determine the correlation between these markers with the stage of disease as well as the relationsh...

SUMMARY Infertility has a special importance in gynecology in causing social, psychological and somatic prohlems. Endometriosis is a benign but progressive disorder in reproductive life and is more common in infertile women. CA 125 is a cell membrane glycoprotein. The endometrium is one the known source of this antigen and seems to be elevated in the pelvic endometriosis. In this study, from...
