Survivin is a novel inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP), and the two splice variants of survivin (survivin-2B and survivin-EX3) have been identified. Gene expression levels of survivin, survivin-2B and survivin-EX3 in 56 ectopic (16 peritoneal red…

The biologic properties of adenomyosis and the effects of therapeutic agents on adenomyosis were evaluated with immunohistochemistry, terminal deoxy-nucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end-labeling (TUNEL) method, transmission…

Survivin is a novel inhibitor of apoptosis and is expressed during fetal development and in cancer tissues, but its expression has not been reported in normal adult tissues or benign diseases. We investigated survivin gene and protein expre…

The effects of two kinds of erythropoietin (EPO), and the effectiveness and safety of predeposit autologous blood transfusion (PAT) were examined in patients with uterine myoma or endometriosis who underwent simple total hysterectomy. EPO w…

The safety and efficacy of intraoperative autologous blood transfusion in abdominal simple total hysterectomy for endometriosis were examined. Four patients were treated using intraoperative salvage apparatus, Cell Saver, Haemo Lite 2. Bloo…

The following results were obtained from our investigations performed to compare the effects of danazol (400 mg/day orally for 4 to 6 months, n = 164) with those of buserelin (900 micrograms/day intranasally for 4 to 6 months, n = 83) on pa…

Endometriosis is often associated with infertility, which might be a consequence of intraperitoneal macrophage activation and various immunological events related to it. To determine what triggers macrophage activation and what immunologic …

子宮頸部境界病変の診断は組織学的に行われているが, 形態学だけでこれらの病変のもつ良性, 悪性などの生物学的性質のすべてを知ることはできない. そこで子宮内膜症を合併する異形成や上皮内癌において, EP合剤による偽妊娠療法やdanazol療法で内膜症を治療するとともに, 頸部病変の変化を剥離細胞診によって観察し, 組織学的異形度と各病変の生物学的性質との関係をhormone反応性の面から検討した. さらに異常上皮における鑑別診断や治療法としての可能性について考察した.その結果…
