    Objective: We aimed to compare the levels of serum androgens in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) who had a diagnosis of only major depressive disorder (MDD), only generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) or who had no psychiatric disorder, as determined by a structured clinical interview. Another objective of the study was to examine whether an association exists between these psychiatric diagnoses and insulin resistance or body mass index via a comparison among the study groups in terms of these parameters. Method: This study was performed between March 2011 and February 2012. A total of 73 patients were included in the study. The study sample consisted of three groups: PCOS patients with only major depressive disorder (n = 23), PCOS patients with only generalized anxiety disorder (n = 20), and PCOS patients without any diagnosed psychiatric disorders (not diagnosed - ND group, n = 30). Results: Significant difference was found among the three groups with regard to the serum levels of 17-OHP and DHEAS. When multiple comparisons were performed among the groups, 17-OHP levels were significantly higher in the MDD group than in the ND group. DHEAS levels were significantly higher in the MDD group and the GAD group than in the ND group. Conclusion: The present study suggests that MDD and GAD appear to be associated with higher DHEAS levels. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

    Evaluation of Toll-Like Receptor Expression with Clinicopathologic Variables in Endometrium Cancer
    (Yerkure Tanitim Yayincilik Hizmetleri As, 2018) Bakbak, Berat Berrin Gencoglu; Ilhan, Tolgay Tuyan; Pekin, Aybike; Kerimoglu, Ozlem Secilmis; Yilmaz, Setenay Arzu; Kebapcilar, Aysegul; Dogan, Nasuh Utku
    Objectives: Clinical evidence supports the association of toll-like receptor (TLR) with abnormal cell proliferation and cancer. In this study, we investigated the expression of TLRs 2, 4, 5, and 6 in healthy endometrium and endometrium cancer to study the relationship of these receptors' expression with carcinogenesis. Methods: Patients who had undergone a hysterectomy owing to endometrium cancer (group 1, 66 patients), endometrial hyperplasia (group 2, 14 patients), and other reasons besides endometrium cancer (group 3, 20 patients as controls) were included. The cases in the first group were classified by histological type of the cancer, stage, grade, and size of the tumor. In all the cases, expressions of TLRs 2, 4, 5, and 6 were assessed, and the relationship of these receptors with clinicopathologic signs was analyzed. For immunohistochemical staining, nuclear and cytoplasmic stainings were considered positive. A Chi-squared test was used to assess the correlation of the groups. A p<0.05 was considered significant. Results: The mean ages of patients in groups 1, 2, and 3 were 59.8 (range 33-83), 48.3 (range 40-59), and 53.4 (range 38-84) years, respectively. All types of TLRs were highly expressed in both types of endometrium cancer (groups 1 and 2). TLR expression was observed with a ratio of 87.9% in group 1, 100% in group 2, and 35% in group 3. There was a statistically significant association of TLR 2 among the three groups (p=0.000). TLR 6 expression in both group 1 and group 2 was significantly higher than that in the control group (p=0.000, p=0.000, respectively). In addition, TLR 6 was higher in cases with late-stage cancer (p=0.033). Regarding tumor grade and the size of the tumor, no association was found between TLR 2 and TLR 6. Conclusion: TLR 2 and TLR 6 were significantly more expressed in cases with endometrium cancer and endometrial hyperplasia. In addition, the presence of TLR 6 may indicate the presence of late-stage endometrial cancer.
