Peritoneal adhesions, primarily caused by surgical procedures, are the leading cause of
pelvic pain, bowel obstruction, and infertility. TGF-β1 and IL-6 have been found to be …

Background Peritoneal adhesions are a clinical problem. A key to the understanding of
peritoneal adhesions is to study the healing of mesothelial cells within the peritoneal cavity …

Peritoneal adhesions (PAs) are fibrotic bands formed between bowel loops, solid organs,
and the parietal peritoneum, which may appear following surgery, infection or …

Platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) is involved in wound healing in various organ
systems. Its potential role in the context of peritoneal injury following long-term peritoneal …

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether macrophages, exposed to hypoxia, stimulate primary
cultures of fibroblasts to acquire the adhesion phenotype. The adhesion phenotype has …

Whether induced by infection, inflammation, ischemia, and/or surgical injury, peritoneal
adhesions are the leading cause of pelvic pain, bowel obstruction, and infertility. Although …

A peritoneal adhesion (PA) is a fibrotic tissue connecting the abdominal or visceral organs to
the peritoneum. The formation of PAs can induce a variety of clinical diseases. However …

Peritoneal response to various kinds of injury involves loss of peritoneal mesothelial cells
(PMC), danger signalling, epithelial-mesenchymal transition and mesothelial-mesenchymal …

Tissue injury and pelvic inflammation often results in peritoneal scar tissue formation. The
objective of this study was to determine whether mesothelial cells which line the peritoneal …

Inflammatory and neoplastic disease processes of the abdominal cavity are frequently
associated with disruption of the integrity of the peritoneal mesothelium. In the present study …
