conclusions some other small studies have proved that statins were effective in regression of endometriosis implants and we have also proved that the levels of serum lipid profile was higher in patients suffering from endometriosis, perhaps higher levels of lipid profile has a significant etiologic role in pathogenesis of endometriosis. results we had 25 patients in endometriosis group and 50 i...

background: endometriosis is defined as the existence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. diagnosis of endometriosis is a challenging theme. despite the broad search for innovative laboratory tests and advances in imaging technologies, there are still no easy, non-invasive diagnostic tests available. due to inflammatory process of endometriosis, still c-reactive protein (crp) level m...

it seems that endometriosis plays an important role in female factor infertility but a clear causal relationship has yet to be established. this case-control study was conducted to determine and compare the frequency and severity of endometriosis in 100 infertile women and 120 fertile multi-para women as control group. descriptive statistics, student t test and chi square test were used in anal...

objective(s): the purpose of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis on human micrornas (mirnas) expression data of endometriosis tissue profiles versus those of normal controls and to identify novel putative diagnostic markers. materials andmethods: pubmed, embase, web of science, ovid medline were used to search for endometriosis mirna expression profiling studies of endometriosis. the mirn...

background: endometriosis is a chronic and progressive gynecological disorder and is manifest by dysmenorrhea and a major cause of infertility and chronic pelvic pain. the study was designed to compare the value of cervico-vaginal fluid of interleukin-1? (il-1?) in patients with and without endometriosis. materials and methods: fifty women were assessed in this case control study. the case grou...

endometriosis is a common gynaecological disease that can cause severe pelvic pain such as dysmenorrhoea and dyspareunia, however the mechanisms by which pain is generated are not well understood. nerve fibres in endometriotic plaques have been reported by several authors. we have recently demonstrated the presence of unmyelinated sensory nerve fibres (using the pan-neuronal marker pgp9.5) in t...

bachground: endometriosis is a disease of female genital system, which is defined by the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. il-8 is an autocrine growth factor in the endometrium that contributes to the pathogenesis of endometriosis. the aim of this study was to investigate the association between -251t/a polymorphism in the il-8 gene and endometriosis risk in ira...

introduction: endometriosis is a prevalent gynecological disorder among women which is diagnosed by the growth of endometrial tissue outside of uterus and is mainly accompanied by severe pelvic pain and infertility. p53 also known as cellular tumor antigen p53 inside codons 11, 72 and 248 are contained with single nucleotide changes in which tends to be nearly rampant.this will probably be incr...

scar endometriosis is a rare form of extra-pelvic endometriosis that can occur after surgery involving the uterus. direct mechanical implantation seems to be the most conceivable theory for scar endometriosis. patient usually presents with lump and pain at surgical site. often the diagnosis of endometriosis is not suggested until histology has been performed. we hereby present a case of scar en...
