<strong>Decreased</strong> <strong>Circulating</strong> <strong>Level</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Soluble</strong> <strong>Glycoprotein</strong>-130 in Recurrent Miscarriage Patients 70<br />

Thus, all these evidences could confirm which lower sgp130 in patients may be a probable<br />

consequence <strong>of</strong> their higher depression.<br />

5. Summary and Concluding Remarks<br />

Taken together, indeed, as a new result, we found that the changes <strong>of</strong> some blood parameters like the<br />

lower post-abortion level <strong>of</strong> sgp130 or higher level <strong>of</strong> some autoimmune markers along with a higher<br />

depression score may be associated with recurrent spontaneous abortion. To our knowledge, this study<br />

is also relatively novel in that it simultaneously examines the relationship between serum sgp130 levels<br />

in recurrent miscarriage patients and their autoantibody titers, some coagulation parameters, the level<br />

<strong>of</strong> Hcy, GCT, FBS, CRP and RF as well as the socio-demographic, psychological, environmental,<br />

dietary, laboratory, smoking and lifestyle parameters all <strong>of</strong> which were intelligently defined as<br />

quantitative values.<br />

Further studies are needed to determine whether the discussed changes in our parameters are a<br />

cause <strong>of</strong>, or merely a consequence <strong>of</strong> their abortion event or even abortion-related depression. Further<br />

studies are also required to justify the role <strong>of</strong> sgp130 in recurrent miscarriage.<br />

Thus we can summarize by saying that psychological problems, inflammation and autoimmune<br />

processes may be associated with each other and with recurrent abortion.<br />

Hopefully, these additional information and knowledge provided will, before long, lead to more<br />

successful treatment and improved outcome in miscarriage women.<br />
