Abstract:
Objective To explore the changes of GRO-α and VEGF in the peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis and their correlation. Methods The levels of GRO-α and VEGF were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA ) method in 39 cases of endometriosis and 25 normal cases of without endometriosis. Results The levels of GRO-αand VEGF in the peritoneal fluid of EMs group were ( 108.77 ± 20. 58 ) pg/ml and ( 199. 67 ± 99. 26 ) pg/ml separately, and it was significantly higher than those in control group ( 71.07 ± 18. 96 ) pg/ml, ( 115.46 ± 32. 39 ) pg/ml. The differences were statically significant( P <0. 05). The level of GRO-α in the peritoneal fluid of the patients in stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ was sig-nificantly lower than that in stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ[(99.43 ± 16.05)pg/ml vs (117.65 ± 20.8)pg/ml, P <0. 05] , while the level of VEGF in the peritoneal fluid of the patients in stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ was significantly higher than that in stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ[(246. 89 ± 114. 34) pg/ml vs ( 152. 82 ± 54. 55 ) pg/ml, P < 0. 05] .There was positive correlation between the level of GRO-α and r-AFS ( r = 0. 439, P < 0. 05 ), but no cor-relation between the level of VEGF and r-AFS ( r = -0. 210, P >0.05). There was no correlation be-tween peritoneal fluid levels of GRO-α and VEGF in the EMs group ( r =-0. 05, P>0. 05). Conclusion Compared with control group, the levels of GRO-α and VEGF in peritoneal fluid of women with endome-triosis were significantly increased, which indicated that the increased GR0-α and VEGF secretion involved in the pathogenesis of this disease. There was correlation between the peritoneal fluid level of GRO-α and the degree of EMs.
