BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a gynaecological disease exhibiting severe pelvic pain, but the mechanism of pain production remains unknown. Bradykinin (BK) is known as an inflammatory mediator, and shows elevated levels in inflammatory disea…
The association between cervical conization and subsequent development of endometriosis is uncertain. The objective of this study was to estimate the incidence rate of ovarian endometrioma after cervical conization and to determine factors …
ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of dienogest (DNG), a progestational 19-norsteroid, in patients with symptomatic adenomyosis.DesignPhase III, randomized, double-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled study.SettingClinical study…
AIM: We aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of dienogest (DNG), a progestational 19-norsteroid, administered for 52 weeks in patients with symptomatic adenomyosis. METHODS: A total of 130 patients with adenomyosis received 2 mg of…
OBJECTIVES: To characterize peritoneal dendritic cells (DCs) in endometriosis and to clarify their role in its etiology. DESIGN: Experimental. SETTING: University hospital. PATIENT(S): Sixty-three women (35 patients with endometriosis an…
AIM: Our objective was to determine the preoperative factors associated with difficulty in total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH). METHODS: This retrospective clinical study included 157 patients who underwent TLH for leiomyoma or adenomyosi…

OBJECTIVE: We investigated α-7 nAchR expression in human peritoneal macrophages and examined whether activation of nAchR might be a new therapy for endometriosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Human peritoneal fluid mononuclear cells (PFMC) were s…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis has been shown to be associated with second- to third-trimester pregnancy complications such as preterm birth and placenta previa, but the evidence is inconsistent. We hypothesized that endometriosis severity might…
OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence rate of subsequent development of ovarian cancer after excision of endometrioma. DESIGN: Retrospective cross-sectional study. SETTING: University hospital. PATIENT(S): A total of 485 women with endo…
ObjectivesTo evaluate the in vivo effect of dienogest on proliferation, apoptosis, aromatase expression, vascular density, nerve growth factor (NGF) expression and nerve fiber density in human adenomyosis tissue.Study designTwelve women who…
Drospirenone has been used as a progestin in oral contraceptives with ethinyl estradiol (DRSP/EE) and is expected to regulate endometriosis, however, the direct effects of drospirenone on endometriosis have not been clarified. The aim of th…
CONTEXT: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent, chronic inflammatory disease. Recent studies have shown that vitamin D (VD) is an effective modulator of the immune system and plays an important role in controlling many inflammatory disease…
