In order to investigate an evidence for genetic disorders in endometriotic patients, eutopic endometrial stromal cells were cultured in vitro for more than 4 months and their antigenecities were characterized by flowcytometry. Eutopic strom…
A computerized morphometric investigation of stromal vascularization in the endometrium during adenomyosis was performed retrospectively. Using a polyclonal antibody and a peroxidase-antiperoxidase method, formalin-fixed paraffin sections o…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the pathophysiologic role of heat shock proteins and to examine the effect of danazol on these proteins in patients with endometriosis and adenomyosis. DESIGN: Immunohistochemical identification of human heat shock p…
OBJECTIVE: To assess the role of beta 1-integrin and E-cadherin molecules in the eutopic glandular epithelium in patients with endometriosis or adenomyosis. STUDY DESIGN: Twenty-four patients with endometriosis, and 22 patients with adenom…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of IVF treatment in endometriosis-associated infertility. DESIGN: Nonrandom retrospective study. SETTING: Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Akita University School of Medicine. MAIN OUTCOME…
OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of danazol on immunocompetent cells, human leukocyte antigen (HLA) expression, and adhesion molecules in the eutopic endometrium of patients with endometriosis. DESIGN: Antigens were localized immunohistoch…
PROBLEM: Are T cell subsets including gamma delta T cells. HLA antigens or adhesion molecules, expressed in eutopic and ectopic endometria in patients with endometriosis and adenomyosis? METHODS: Subjects consisted of 23 patients with aden…
The effect of peritoneal fluid (PF) from endometriosis patients was studied in spontaneous and stimulus-induced (Ca-ionophore; A23187) acrosome reactions. PF samples were obtained from 21 infertile women with endometriosis and five normal w…
To evaluate the clinical significance of serum SSEA-1 level, the antigen level was measured in sera of obstetric and gynecologic patients. A positive rate was low in patients with endometriosis (9.1%), myoma uteri (0%), benign ovarian tumor…
6-Thioguanine and Neomycin resistant human endometrial carcinoma cells were established from parental HHUA 95 cells in the present study. The karyotype was 46,XX although chromosome abnormalities had been observed occasionally. Cell hybrids…
