BACKGROUND: Adiponectin is a pleiotropic cytokine originally discovered as an adipocyte-specific gene product. Serum adiponectin concentrations have been reported to be low in women with endometrial cancer, breast cancer and uterine leiomyo…

BACKGROUND: Failure of apoptosis of refluxed endometrial cells within the peritoneal cavity is a possible etiologic factor for development of endometriosis. Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a survival factor that exerts its effect by binding to tum…

Given the current theory of inflammatory changes being involved in the progression of endometriosis, MAPKs might be at play as pivotal intracellular signal transducers in endometriotic cells and thus have a pathophysiological role in the di…

PROBLEM: Endometriosis accompanies local inflammatory reactions in the peritoneal cavity. We examined the phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), i.e. extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), p38 MAPK (p38) and c-J…

BACKGROUND: To evaluate the usefulness of transvaginal and transrectal ultrasonography for diagnosis and management of deeply infiltrating rectosigmoid endometriosis. METHODS: A series of six patients (aged 32-39 years) with rectosigmoid e…

PROBLEM: To assess whether interferon-gamma-induced protein-10 (IP-10), a chemokine that has antiangiogenic activities, may be involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. METHOD OF STUDY: A total of 120 patients undergoing laparoscopy fo…

Using a cDNA microarray consisting of 23,040 genes, we analyzed gene-expression profiles of ovarian endometrial cysts from 23 patients in order to identify genes involved in endometriosis. By comparing expression patterns between endometrio…

To address the contrasting findings regarding how pain is related to endometriosis, the relationship between pain and stage of endometriosis was dissected differently by the chief complaint to eliminate selection biases. A total of 1,092 wo…

Endometriosis is assumed to be one of the causative factors of infertility, although the mechanism remains to be elucidated. Mechanical factors distorting the pelvic anatomy and/or changes in the biochemical and cellular environment in the …

Bowel endometriosis manifesting with ileus is difficult to diagnose, often requiring laparotomy for diagnosis and treatment. We report here a case of ileo-cecal endometriosis causing bowel obstruction. A diagnosis of intestinal endometriosi…

OBJECTIVE: To examine how preexisting tubal adhesions and endometriosis affect pregnancy outcome after laparoscopic treatment in infertile women with no apparent causes of infertility other than tubal factors. STUDY DESIGN: Pregnancy outcom…

PROBLEM: In the quest for possible involvement of stem cell factor (SCF), a cytokine known to have multiple effects, in the pathogenesis of endometriosis, we evaluated concentrations of SCF in peritoneal fluid (PF) of women with or without …

2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) has been suggested as a possible etiologic factor for endometriosis, a condition in which endometrium-like tissues are present outside the uterus. The prevailing view pertaining to the origin of en…

Hepatocyte growth factor concentrations are elevated in peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis
The concentrations of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in peritoneal fluid (PF) from women with endometriosis (n = 36) and without endometriosis (n = 40) were measured. All of the PF samples examined contained detectable concentrations of HGF…

Vaginal agenesis combined with a functional uterus is a rare condition in which treatment modalities that preserve reproductive function are controversial. A 21 year old female presented with congenital vaginal agenesis combined with cervic…

Decidualized tissues are characterized by the intensive outgrowth of the microvasculature. Several angiogenic factors are assumed to be involved during the drastic change in the vasculature occurring in the process of decidualization. We ex…
