Expression ofVEGF,IL-6,IL-8 in serum and peritoneal fluid of patients with endometriosis

摘要

Objective:To explore the expression of VEGF, IL-6, and IL-8 in serum and peritoneal fluid of patients with endometriosis (EMT) and their clinical significances.Methods:EMT patients who were pathologically diagnosed after laparoscopy from February, 2014 to February, 2015 were included in the study and served as the observation group. Moreover, patients with benign ovarian tumor and healthy women who came for physical examination at the same period were selected and served as the disease control group and normal control group, respectively for correlation analysis. The levels of VEGF, IL-6, and IL-8 in serum and peritoneal fluid of subjects in the three groups were compared.Results:The levels of serum VEGF, IL-6, and IL-8 in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the disease control group and the normal control group (P0.05). The levels of VEGF, IL-6, and IL-8 in peritoneal fluid in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the disease control group (P<0.05). With the increasing of EMT staging, the levels of VEGF, IL-6, and IL-8 in serum and peritoneal fluid were correspondingly elevated. The levels of VEGF, IL-6, and IL-8 in serum and peritoneal fluid at stageⅢ-Ⅳ were significantly higher than those at stageⅠ-Ⅱ(P<0.05).Conclusions:VEGF, IL-6 and IL-8 are highly expressed in serum and peritoneal fluid of patients with EMT. With the progression of the disease, the expression of VEGF, IL-6 and IL-8 shows an increasing trend. Clinical detection of the changes of VEGF, IL-6, and IL-8 levels in serum and peritoneal fluid can monitor the progression of EMT condition.
