PURPOSE: To collect real-world safety and clinical outcome data on the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) for functional/organic heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) and dysmenorrhoea in Japanese women (J-MIRAI). MATERIALS AND…
PROBLEM: NK cell and macrophage function are decreased in endometriosis, and the disease may involve reduced immune surveillance in the peritoneal cavity. NK cell cytotoxicity and migration ability (chemotaxis) are considered important; the…
ObjectivesWe collected real-world data on the safety and clinical outcomes of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) for heavy menstrual bleeding and dysmenorrhea.Study DesignThis was a prospective, multicenter, single-c…
Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), an inflammatory mediator, is abundantly contained in red blood cells and platelets. We hypothesized that the S1P concentration in the peritoneal cavity would increase especially during the menstrual phase due …

BACKGROUND: Postpartum depression is one of the major causes of disability among women who are on their childbearing years. Identifying people at risk of postpartum depression may improve its management. The objective of this study was to d…
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…
