Endometriosis is an inflammatory condition characterised by existence of endometrial tissue in extra uterine locations, being aggressive and invasive can cause a significant decrease in quality of life. Various scientific evidence suggests …

UNLABELLED: The survivin gene encoding a novel inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) is located on chromosome (17q25). It is expressed during development and in human cancer in vivo. Endometriosis in cicatrix after cesarean section represent…

OBJECTIVES: To assess the concentrations of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) and lipid peroxides (the marker of free radicals activity) in peritoneal fluid (PF) of infertile women with minimal and mild e…

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the possible role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of female infertility, we examined the peritoneal fluid (PF) and plasma lipid peroxides levels in infertile women. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 4-hydroxynonenal …

Phagocytic activity of macrophages isolated from peritoneal fluid (PF) was estimated using flow cytometry. Study group consists of 28 patients with endometriosis and 19 patients with benign noninflammatory tumour of adnex(is) served as refe…

Dendritic cells represent discrete leukocyte subpopulation of specialist or "professional" antigen-presenting cells (APC). They play a crucial role in the activation of naive T cells "in vivo" They have monocyte/macrophages origin. There ar…

Aromatase (P450AROM) is the enzyme complex with converts testosterone to estradiol and androstendione to estrone. This enzyme was detected in various normal tissues and uterine pathology such as uterine myoma, endometrial cancer and endomet…

OBJECTIVES: To assess the concentration of Plasma Glutathione Peroxidase (plGPx) in the peritoneal fluid (PF) of patients with unexplained infertility and infertile women with minimal and mild endometriosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 33 women …

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the concentration of malonyldialdehyde (MDA) and total antioxidant status in the peritoneal fluid (PF) of patients with unexplained infertility (UI) and infertile women with minimal and mild endometriosis. MATERIALS A…

OBJECTIVES: We measured the concentration of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and interleukin-2 soluble receptor (sIL-2R) in peritoneal fluid (PF) of patients with unexplained infertility. MATERIALS AND METHODS: PF was obtained during laparoscopy from …

The presence of leukocyte subpopulations was demonstrated in peritoneal fluid and in endometrial tissue of women with (n = 16) and without (n = 20) endometriosis. Peritoneal fluid samples were also assayed for effects on lymphocyte prolifer…

The assessment was performed of laparoscopic images of the sex organ in 58 women after induction of ovulation. Abnormalities were found in 29 women with permanent lack of ovulation and in six women with achieved ovulation. The changes in th…
