review
2008
It is widely known that angiogenesis plays a key role in endometriotic lesion formation and development. Antiangiogenic treatments aimed at inhibiting new vessel formation have proven efficient in experimental models. However, as antiangiog…

BACKGROUND/AIMS: The aim of this study was to induce endometriosis in female rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) for research purposes. METHODS: Three female monkeys from 4 to 4.5 years of age underwent three consecutive attempts at endometrio…
article
2007
BACKGROUND: In vitro studies suggest that the transcription factor nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) is implicated in the transduction of proinflammatory signals in endometriosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the involvement of…

2007
BACKGROUND: Estradiol (E(2)) is an important promoter of the growth of both eutopic and ectopic endometrium. The findings with regard to the expression and activity of steroidogenic enzymes in endometrium of controls, in endometrium of endo…

2007
To identify specific markers of rectovaginal endometriotic nodule vasculature, highly enriched preparations of vascular endothelial cells and pericytes were obtained from endometriotic nodules and control endometrial and myometrial tissue b…
article
2007
Endometriosis is characterized by pelvic inflammation that shows an increased number of activated peritoneal macrophages and their secreted products such as cytokines, growth factors, and angiogenic factors. Our results show that activation…

Red (active), black and white endometriotic lesions are characteristic of peritoneal endometriosis. The transcription factor nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) activates proinflammatory, proliferative and antiapoptotic genes in many cell ty…
article
2006
BACKGROUND: Iron deposits are characteristic of endometriotic lesions, and pelvic iron concentrations are higher in endometriosis patients than in women without endometriosis. In this study, the effect of iron overload and iron chelation on…

ObjectiveTo report two cases of orthotopic transplantation of fresh ovarian tissue.SettingAcademic hospital.Patient(s)Two patients with severe endometriosis, who underwent left oophorectomy for recurrent endometriosis.Intervention(s)Ovarian…
article
2005
BACKGROUND: In animal models of endometriosis, the identification and quantification of lesions originating from human endometrium is often hampered by the small size of the implants and their embedding in murine tissue. The purpose of the …

2004
BACKGROUND: Pelvic endometriotic lesions are often laden with hemosiderin. In order to investigate the potential source of such iron deposits, we examined whether the seric and erythrocyte fractions of menstrual effluent might influence the…
article
2004
This immunohistochemical study shows that platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1), known to play a role in neoangiogenesis and vascular development, is strongly and homogeneously expressed in endothelial cells lining blood v…
review
2004
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To review the concept of typical, subtle and invisible endometriosis and analyze the evolution and progression of the disease, as well as some factors possibly involved in the pathogenesis. RECENT FINDINGS: Although reje…

Healthcare workers in rehabilitation clinics frequently perceive safety concerns. The study underlines the importance of promoting a culture of safety and speaking up. The short survey instrument SUPS-Q can be used by rehabilitation clinics…
review
2003
The diagnosis of peritoneal endometriosis at the time of laparoscopy is often made by the observation of typically puckered black or bluish lesions. There are also numerous subtle appearances of peritoneal endometriosis. The lesions are fre…
