STUDY QUESTION: Does the GnRH antagonist, ASP1707, reduce endometriosis-associated pelvic pain? SUMMARY ANSWER: ASP1707 significantly reduced endometriosis-associated pelvic pain in a dose-related manner. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: GnRH agonist…
Increased killer inhibitory receptor 2DL1 expression among natural killer cells in women with pelvic endometriosis
Objective: To evaluate the management of young women with endometriosis after conservative laparoscopic surgery.Design: Retrospective study.Setting: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Kochi Medical School.Patients: Sixty-four women ag…
Impaired natural killer (NK) activity in women with endometriosis is thought to promote implantation and progression of endometrial tissue, in accord with Sampson's hypothesis. However, the mechanisms responsible for decreased NK cell activ…
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis-associated infertility.Design: Retrospective study.Setting: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Kochi Medical School.Patient(s): Sixty-five women with endome…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate menstrual cycle changes in expression by eutopic endometrium of a nonclassic human leukocyte antigen, HLA-G, which binds to the killer immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) 2DL4 (CD158d) on natural killer (NK) cells. …
PROBLEM: We investigated host immunologic responses to endometriosis by comparing immune cell surface antigens in peripheral blood (PB) and peritoneal fluid (PF) from women with endometriosis with those in PB and PF from other patients. MET…
PROBLEM: We investigated inhibitory and activation motif expression of killer immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) by natural killer (NK) cells, which may be pathogenetically involved in endometriosis. METHOD OF STUDY: We compared cells from…
PROBLEM: Natural killer (NK) dysfunction is considered to contribute to the pathogenesis of endometriosis. In this study, we investigated the host immune response to endometriosis in terms of killer inhibitory receptor (KIR) expression by N…
PROBLEM: Factors regulating fibrosis in peritoneal endometriosis are poorly understood. We hypothesized that mast cell proteases may play a role in the process of fibrosis in peritoneal endometriosis. As the first step in examining the poss…
The clinical and pathological features of an apparently unique case of an endometrial cyst of the uterus are reported. The cyst was located within the myometrium of a 16-year-old woman suffering from dysmenorrhea. After excision of the cyst…
Among the women who suffered from endomertiosis, pelvic adhesion and polycystic ovarian deseas were treated by endosopic approach to evaluate the effectiveness and consequent pregnancy rate after endoscopic treatment. For endoscopic incisio…
