Aim. To study the role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF-A) in the fluid of the anterior chamber of the eye (ACE) in the evolvement ofdiabetic retinopathy (DR) and the outcome of cataract surgery. Materials and methods. The study included 120 patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) operated for the removal of cataract. 16 patients received treatmentfor DR-related neovascular glaucoma (NG). The control group comprised 22 subjects without DM. VEGF-A and glucose levels were measuredin the ACE fluid prior to surgery. Results. Patients with DM were not significantly different in terms of VEGF-A, fasting glucose, and HbA1c levels on the day of surgery excepting DMpatients without DR. VEGF-A and glucose levels in AEG increased in proportion to DR severity. VEGF-A concentration was minimal in the absenceof DR (22.75 pg/ml [10.78; 63.36]) and amounted to 336.6 pg/ml [232.3; 410.74] in patients with DM and DR (P

Retrograde menstruation lead to I Kappa B Kinase (IKK) fosforilation in peritoneum macrophage and cause secretion of proinflammatory cytokine interleukin1β then stimulate endometriosis cell to produce Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor which lead to increasing of endometriosis lession seen as endometriosis implant area. Cytokine secretion was inhibited through prevention of NF-κB activation by dragon red fruit rind extract (Hylocereuspolyrhizus). The aim of this reserach is to know the effect of dragon red fuit rind extract with 0,25; 0,5; and 1 mg/g bodyweight dosage toward IL-1β, VEGF expression and implant area in endometriosis mice model. The design of this experiment was randomized post test only control group design.Endometrios mice model were made in 14 days and split into two group, positive control group and treatment group after two week negative control group and postive control group were given Na-CMC 0,5% solution consequetively, and treatment group were given dragon red fruit extract with different dosage. Signification number for IL-1β is p>0,05, signification number for VEGF is p>0,05, and implant area signification number is p>0,05. Administration of dragon red fruit rind extract can decrease IL-1β, VEGF, and implant area.

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a well-known angiogenic factor that plays a critical role in various physiological and pathological processes. VEGF also contributes to the process of embryo implantation by enhancing embryo development, improving endometrial receptivity, and facilitating the interactions between the developing embryo and the endometrium. There is a correlation between the alteration of VEGF expression and reproductive failure, including recurrent implantation failure (RIF) and recurrent miscarriage (RM). In order to clarify the role of VEGF in embryo implantation, we reviewed recent literature concerning the expression and function of VEGF in the reproductive system around the time of embryo implantation and we provide a summary of the findings reported so far. We also explored the effects and the possible underlying mechanisms of action of VEGF in embryo implantation.
