Important Initiative Roles of CD44 and Tenascin in Sampson's Theory of the Pathogenesis and Development of Endometriosis
·doi:10.5301/je.5000158

Background Among several theories explaining the pathogenesis of endometriosis, Sampson's theory seems to be the most reliable and popular. However, this theory does have some problems. First, the onset of endometriosis is not as common as …

Distribution of cyclooxygenase-2 in eutopic and ectopic endometrium in endometriosis and adenomyosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/16.3.561

The objective of this study was to determine the distribution of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in eutopic and ectopic endometria in endometriosis and adenomyosis. The subjects were 35 patients with endometriosis diagnosed by laparoscopy, 33 pati…

Localization of endothelial nitric oxide synthase messenger ribonucleic acid by in situ hybridization in ectopic endometrial tissue in patients with adenomyosis
Reproduction, fertility, and development ·doi:10.1071/rd00074

This study was undertaken to determine the expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS) mRNA in ectopic endometrium in adenomyosis. Endothelial NOS mRNA expression was investigated by in situ hybridization using a human endothelial…

Endometriosis and Free Radicals
Gynecologic and obstetric investigation ·doi:10.1159/000052866

Recent studies have shown that synthase for nitric oxide or scavenger enzymes is distributed throughout the endometrium. We have reported that endothelial nitric oxide synthase, originally identified in vascular endothelial cells, is distri…

Is adenomyosis an immune disease?
Human reproduction update ·doi:10.1093/humupd/4.4.360

Adenomyosis is characterized as ectopic endometrial tissues within the myometrium in the uterus. The only difference between adenomyosis and endometriosis is the site of endometriotic tissues: inside or outside of the uterus. It is well kno…
