AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigates the high recurrence rate of intrauterine adhesions (IUA) and analyzes the role of proinflammatory factors IL-17A and IL-6 in predicting recurrence after surgery.
  • The research involved 90 IUA patients and found that those with higher preoperative levels of IL-17A and IL-6 had more severe forms of IUA, suggesting a correlation between these inflammation markers and recurrence risk.
  • The findings indicate that IL-17A and IL-6 levels could be important indicators for assessing the likelihood of IUA recurrence after surgery, with better predictive accuracy when combined with patients' baseline characteristics.

Article Abstract

Background: The recurrence rate of intrauterine adhesions (IUA) was high. At present, there are few studies on the relationship between proinflammatory factors IL-17A and IL-6 and IUA. The expression of serum IL-17A and IL-6 in IUA patients and their predictive value for postoperative recurrence were retrospectively analyzed.

Methods: A total of 90 IUA patients who underwent hysteroscopic adhesion lysis in our hospital from January 2020 to January 2023 were selected as the IUA group. Patients were divided into mild, moderate, and severe IUA groups. At the same time, 60 cases of secondary infertility patients with normal endometrium were selected as the control group. The clinical baseline characteristics and serum levels of IL-17A and IL-6 were compared between control group and IUA group. To analyze the correlation and predictive value of IL-17A and IL-6 expression levels with the recurrence rate of IUA patients.

Results: The preoperative levels of IL-17A and IL-6 in the IUA group were significantly higher than those in the control group. The higher the levels of inflammatory factors IL-17A and IL-6, the deeper the degree of IUA. Multivariate analysis showed that pregnancy, curettage history, IL-17A, and IL-6 levels were risk factors for IUA recurrence. In addition, the specificity and area under the curve of combining baseline data with postoperative serum IL-17A and IL-6 for predicting IUA were higher than those predicted separately.

Conclusion: The expression levels of serum IL-17A and IL-6 can be used as a value index to evaluate postoperative recurrence in IUA patients.

Background: Currently, there is limited research on the impact of abdominal infection on intestinal damage under microgravity conditions. Cordyceps polysaccharide (CPS), the main active ingredient of Cordyceps, has demonstrated various pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory properties. Moxifloxacin (MXF) is a fourth-generation quinolone antibiotic that is believed to have a dual regulatory effect on immune system activation and suppression.

Callistephus chinensis Nees is an herbaceous plant in the Asteraceae family that has various traditional effects, especially in preventing liver disease. Callistephus A (CA) is a sesquiterpene compound with a rare 6/7 ring skeleton, which has been isolated only from the Callistephus chinensis Nees, but whether CA protects the liver is unknown. Immunological liver injury (ILI) is a common liver disease mediated by the immune system.

Background: Psoriasis is a prevalent chronic inflammatory skin condition for which existing treatments often fall short of fully addressing patient needs. Abelmoschi Corolla (AC), a traditional Chinese medicine, and its ethanol extract, huangkui capsule, are well established for the treatment of chronic kidney diseases. The therapeutic mechanisms of AC include anti-inflammatory effects and immune modulation, which align with psoriasis treatment strategies.

: Cytokines related to the Th17 response have been associated with peri-implant diseases; however, the effect of peri-implant therapy on their modulation remains underexplored. To evaluate the effect of peri-implant therapy on the expression of cytokines related to the Th17 response in the peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF) (GM-CSF, IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12 (p70), IL-17A, IL-21, IL-23, and TNF-α) of partially edentulous patients with peri-implant disease (PID). : Thirty-seven systemically healthy individuals presenting with peri-implant mucositis (PIM) (n = 20) or peri-implantitis (PI) (n = 17) were treated and evaluated at baseline (T0) and three months after therapy (T1).
