Detecting adenomyosis in the myometrium is a challenge since it is infiltrative with ill-defined margins and can be often confused with uterine fibroids. However, recent advances, such as ultrasound elastography, have enabled its detection …
Abstract Background: Endometriosis can potentially lead to the development of a malignant tumor. Most malignant tumors arising from the endometriosis originate from the ovarian endometrioma, whereas those arising from extragonadal lesions a…
The prognostic nutritional index (PNI), which reflects preoperative malnutrition, is useful for predicting the incidence of postoperative complications and has been reported in recent years to predict the long-term prognosis of various mali…
Endometriosis, characterized by the presence of extra-uterine endometrium, is a common gynecologic disorder in reproductive-age women. Although the detailed molecular mechanism of etiology remains unelucidated, recent studies have gradually…

Mirror image is one of the most difficult situations that the assistant surgeon encounters in laparoscopic colorectal surgery. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether task performance with mirror images improves by changing …
PurposeProgrammed cell death 1 (PD1) and PD ligand 1 (PDL1) are speculated to have an important role in maintaining a normal pregnancy and there are also a few reports of an association between the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of …
Kinesin family member 20A (KIF20A), which is involved in cytokinesis and intracellular transportation, has been recently reported to be upregulated in several malignancies and may contribute to chemotherapeutic resistance. We examined the d…
(Case) A 31-year-old woman noticed lower abdominal pain and urinary incontinence after voiding one month after third cesarean section. Cystoscopy and cystourethrography demonstrated a vesicouterine fistula at the posterior wall of the bladd…
PurposeTo develop a clinical score to discriminate patients with somatic symptom disorder (SSD) from those with medical disease (MD) for complaints of non-acute pain.MethodsWe retrospectively examined the clinical records of consecutive pat…
We examined the prognostic factors for pregnancy in 210 vitrified-warmed embryo transfer (ET) cycles in 121 patients. The univariate analysis showed that age, gravida, the number of cycles associated with infertility caused by endometriosis…
A phase 2 clinical trial investigating the efficacy and safety of AS602801, a newly developed JNK inhibitor, in the treatment of inflammatory endometriosis is complete. We are now examining whether AS602801 acts against human cancer cells i…
BACKGROUND: The prevalence and risk factors for endometriosis may differ according to diagnosis methodologies, such as study populations and diagnostic accuracy. We examined risk profiles in imaging-diagnosed endometriosis with and without …
ObjectiveThe influence of past history of infertility, which is closely associated with reproductive factors, on menopause has not been clarified. The purpose of this study was to clarify the association of reproductive factors, including p…
Buserelin, a potent LH-RH agonist, has been used for the treatment of hormonal disorders such as precocious puberty, endometriosis, cystic mastitis and prostatic carcinoma. Prolonged treatment with buserelin has been known to induce a refra…
Ectopic pituitary isografts (EPI) have been found to induce a high incidence of uterine adenomyosis in SHN mice. All the SHN mice given EPI in the right uterus at 40 days of age developed uterine adenomyosis, and more than 80% of mice showe…
