Oral Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Antagonist Relugolix Has the Same Effect as Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Agonist Injections in Terms of Preparation for Transcervical Resection Myomectomy
Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy ·doi:10.4103/gmit.gmit_9_22

For preparing the optimal condition in transcervical resection (TCR) surgery, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist has been utilized. Recently, an oral GnRH antagonist (relugolix) is available and acts directly on GnRH receptor, av…

Clinical implication of recent advances in our understanding of IL-17 and reproductive immunology
Expert review of clinical immunology ·doi:10.1586/eci.11.49

The identification of a novel helper T (Th)-cell subset, the IL-17-producing Th (Th17) cells, has provided new insight into our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of reproduction. IL-17 has an important role in induction of the prote…

Interleukin (IL)-17A stimulates IL-8 secretion, cyclooxygensase-2 expression, and cell proliferation of endometriotic stromal cells
Endocrinology ·doi:10.1210/en.2007-0749

IL-17A is secreted from Th17 cells, a discovery leading to revision of the mechanism underlying the role of Th1/Th2 in the immune response. Strong evidence suggests that immune responses associated with inflammation are involved in the path…
