This study evaluated whether soluble intercellular adhesion molecule sICAM-1 levels correlate with the severity and activity of external genital endometriosis, measuring sICAM-1 in blood serum and peritoneal fluid by ELISA in 25 surgically treated, histologically confirmed patients. Using nonparametric statistics and Spearman correlations, the authors found the highest mean serum sICAM-1 levels in groups with severe and moderate pain syndrome, and reported a significant increase in stages 3–4 in the severe pain group (1295.00 ± 709.4 ng/ml) versus an asymptomatic group (240.3 ± 82 ng/ml; p < 0.001). The paper’s limitation is its small sample size and single-center design, which constrains the generalizability of the findings. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses on sICAM-1 in blood serum and peritoneal fluid as a marker of the activity and progression of external genital endometriosis.

The objective. Correlation analysis between the level of intercellular adhesion molecule sICAM-1 and the severity of peritoneal endometriosis.
Patients and methods. The study included 25 female patients with external genital endometriosis, who underwent surgical treatment, and the diagnosis was histologically confirmed. The levels of sICAM-1 in blood serum and peritoneal fluid were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Statistical processing of the obtained data was performed with the use of the Statistica 5.5 and Biostat software. Methods of descriptive statistics and nonparametric methods were used. The values of sICAM-1 are presented as median ± standard deviation. The difference of concentrations between two compared groups was assessed by the Mann-Whitney nonparametric method. The Spearman method was used to examine correlations.
Results. The maximum values of the average sICAM-1 level in serum specimens were found in groups of patients with severe and moderate pain syndrome irrespective of the stage of disease. A significant increase of the average serum sICAM-1 level at stages 3–4 of disease was determined in groups with severe pain syndrome and amounted to 1295.00 ± 709.4 ng/ml as compared with the asymptomatic group (240.3 ± 82 ng/ml, р < 0.001).
Conclusion. A soluble form of intercellular adhesion molecule (sICAM-1) might be regarded as an additional criterion of the activity of external endometriosis and its enhanced levels as an unfavourable factor demonstrative of disease progression.
Key words: intercellular adhesion molecules, sICAM-1 molecule, endometriosis.
