The concentrations of the enviromental pollutant 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin were measured in the blood of 44 infertile women with endometriosis (study group), and in 35 age-matched women with tubal infertility (control group). Eight women with endometriosis (18%) were dioxin positive as compared to one woman (3%) in the controls (P = 0.04). Although the concentrations of dioxin did not seem to be directly correlated with the severity of endometriosis, these observations contribute to the accumulating data linking dioxin to endometriosis in humans.
在44名患有子宫内膜异位症的不孕女性(研究组)以及35名年龄匹配的输卵管性不孕女性(对照组)的血液中,检测了环境污染物2,3,7,8-四氯二苯并对二恶英的浓度。患有子宫内膜异位症的女性中有8名(18%)二恶英呈阳性,而对照组中只有1名女性(3%)呈阳性(P = 0.04)。尽管二恶英的浓度似乎与子宫内膜异位症的严重程度没有直接关联,但这些观察结果为越来越多的将二恶英与人类子宫内膜异位症相联系的数据提供了补充。
