Leptin acts as a potential growth stimulator in several normal and neoplastic cells. Recent studies have shown the presence of increased levels of leptin in the peritoneal fluid of patients with endometriosis, implicating leptin in the path…
CONTEXT: Müllerian inhibiting substance (MIS) is produced in Sertoli cells of fetal testis and causes regression of müllerian ducts in male embryos. MIS also can induce the cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in müllerian duct-derived tumors in…
ObjectiveThis study was performed to assess the prognostic value of serum hCG, progesterone, and inhibin A levels measured at 11 days post-ET for predicting pregnancy outcome in women participating in IVF.MethodsBetween May 2005 and April 2…
Endometriosis, a disease affecting 5-15% of women of reproductive age, is characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue. Costunolide, a sesquiterpene lactone, has anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic activities that may be effic…
Curcumin, a naturally occurring polyphenolic compound from Curcuma longa, has long been used in folk medicine as an antiinflammatory remedy in Asian countries. Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological inflammatory disorder in which immune s…
OBJECTIVE: To identify the risk factors associated with inadvertent follicular loss during laparoscopic cystectomy for endometrioma. METHODS: Between April 2008 and April 2010, 114 patients who underwent laparoscopic cystectomy for endometr…
Rectal submucosal lesions encompass a wide variety of benign and malignant tumors involving the rectum. With optical colonoscopy, any mass-like protrusion covered by normal mucosa, whether the underlying process is intramural or extramural …
Although endometriosis is a common disease in women of reproductive age, rectal endometriosis is rare and lymph node involvement by endometriosis is considered uncommon. We report a 37-year-old woman who had irregular lower abdominal pain a…
This workshop was held on July 31-August 1, 2010 and was organized to promote the academic environment and to enhance the communication among Asian countries prior to the 2nd biennial meeting of Australian Society of Gynaecologic Oncologist…
ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the prognostic significance of tumor volume assessed by pretreatment MRI in stage IIB cervical cancer patients with concurrent chemoradiation therapy.MethodsA retrospective chart review was…
BACKGROUND: No study has systematically investigated the colonoscopic findings and histologic diagnostic yield in the diagnosis of colorectal endometriosis. OBJECTIVES: We classified the colonoscopic features of colorectal endometriosis and…
Pure primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCCa) of the ovary not associated with pre-existing ovarian lesions including dermoid cysts, Brenner tumors, or endometriosis is extremely rare. The last 2 types of SCCa and pure primary SCCa have been …
BACKGROUND: Intramural pregnancy associated with adenomyosis after in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer is a rare occurrence. CASE: A 37-year-old woman presented with a history of 2 dilation and curettage procedures after 2 miscarriag…
PROBLEM: The aim of this study was to evaluate osteopontin (OPN) mRNA expression in eutopic endometrium and plasma OPN levels in patients with endometriosis. METHOD OF STUDY: A total of 79 patients with histologically confirmed endometriosi…
PurposeInflammatory cells can both suppress and stimulate tumor growth, and the influence of inflammatory cells on clinical outcome has been the focus of many studies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the neutr…
PurposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate the behavior of endometrial stromal sarcomas (ESSs) in relation to their clinical and pathogenic features, and to determine the optimal treatment strategy.Materials and methodsA retrospective ana…
ObjectiveWe wanted to evaluate the role of the arterial phase (AP) together with the portal venous phase (PP) scans in the diagnosis of Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome (FHCS) with using computed tomography (CT).Materials and methodsTwenty-five pa…
PROBLEM: The aim of this study was to evaluate serum and urinary levels of vascular endothelial growth factors, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase (sFlt-1) in patients with endometriosis. METHOD O…
ObjectiveTo explore the in-vivo 1H- MR spectral features of adnexal lesions and to characterize the spectral patterns of various pathologic entities.Materials and methodsThirty-one patients with surgically and histopathologically confirmed …
Persistent endometriosis after total hysterectomy and both salpingo-oophorectomy (TH with BSO) is a rare condition and the etiology is uncertain. The exact incidence of persistent endometriosis after definitive surgery is not known. In addi…
