Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) : Increased plasma levels of interleukin-32α in women with endometriosis: a marker of disease activation

Introduction: Endometriosis (EM) is characterized by the aberrant growth of endometrial cells at sites outside the uterus. There are four stages of endometriosis: minimal, mild, moderate, and severe. Interleukin-32α (IL-32α) is a new cytokine, has been implicated in the pro-inflammatory immune responses in several immunological disorders. Clearly the immune system is involved in endometriosis. It is not clear, however, wether and to what extent this involvement is a primary response to the ctopic endometrial growth in an attempt to restore hemeostasis. This study aimed at investigating the potential clinical utility of levels of the Interleukin-32α as a marker of disease activation in women with endometriosis.

Material & methods: We measured plasma levels of Interleukin-32α in 36 Iranian patients with histologically proven for mild (n = 24) and severe (n = 12) endometriosis in comparison to 29 healthy controls by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Results: Plasma levels of Interleukin-32α were significantly higher in the women with sever endometriosis 432.01±199.60 pg/mL in comparison with mild 391.11± 177.9 pg/mL and healthy controls 232.15±175.42 pg/mL
Conclusion: Our data suggest that increased plasma levels of IL-32α are associated with inflammatory responses and disease activation in women with endometriosis.
Keywords of your Abstract : endometriosis, interleukin-32α

If you met staff members, please list their full names & positions. : I didnt meet any
Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress : I think lack of such international student congress in our country is the potent cause of our international scientific and cultural anonymity . some European students were asking about Iran,its people, culture and history.its really unacceptable that we spend our money in many fields but introducing our country to an effective population of the world. 
 
Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : I purchased the ticket from private trabvel agency .international student accomodation was prepared for us in vicinity of the congress place
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : ISCOMS is a student congress that takes place every year in Groningen city of the Netherlands.The executive committee consists of medical students, and some professors observe the process of the congress. They were so hospitable and their manner toward us was kind and acceptable. this year, a lot of students from all over the world participated and presented their new researches, met each other and shared their ideas. I also presented my poster at immunology session at which other students from Germany, China and Turkey were present.
