OBJECTIVE: We investigated a possible association between endometriosis and polymorphisms in the genes encoding epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR) and EGF in a Japanese population. METHODS: We compared the distribution of the Eg…

BACKGROUND: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) concentration in endometriosis patients is higher than controls, in serum and ascites, suggesting that VEGF may play an important role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. In this study…

ObjectiveEndometriosis is an immune-related, chronic inflammatory disease with polygenic predisposition. Cell adhesion molecules are expressed in endometriotic lesions, and in cells and tissues that are involved in the development and progr…

ObjectiveWe investigated the association between endometriosis and polymorphisms in the N-acetyltransferase 1 (NAT1) and N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) genes in a Japanese population, having previously demonstrated a positive association with…

Endometriosis is a complex trait, which means that multiple susceptibility genes interact with one another and the environment to produce the phenotype. One of the genes previously implicated in the disease is CYP17; this encodes the enzyme…

We describe a rare case of invasive endometrioid adenocarcinoma arising from uterine adenomyosis involving the rectosigmoid colon. At laparotomy the uterus was densely adherent to the rectosigmoid colon. The final pathologic study of surgic…

ObjectiveEndometriosis is inherited as a complex trait, which means that multiple susceptibility genes interact with each other and with environmental factors to produce the phenotype. We investigated the frequency of glutathione S-transfer…

BACKGROUND: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is a multifunctional proinflammatory cytokine, associated with various inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Elevated TNF-alpha levels in peritoneal fluid have been reported in women with …

BACKGROUND: The levonorgestrel-releasing intra-uterine system (LNg-IUS) has been used to control menorrhagia, but irregular bleeding during the first 3 months of use was the most notable side effect. Endometrial angiogenesis is believed to …

BACKGROUND: The levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNg-IUS) has been shown to be effective in the management of menorrhagia. In order to evaluate the effects of LNg-IUS on endometrial proliferation and apoptosis, proliferating ce…

OBJECTIVE: To describe the usefulness of fine-needle aspiration cytology and drainage, followed by long-acting GnRH-agonist therapy in the management of post-operative peritoneal cysts with endometriosis. METHODS: In six women who were diag…

Immunohistochemical studies were performed using specific antibodies to epidermal growth factor (EGF) and EGF receptor to determine their presence and cellular localization in the human ovary during follicular growth and regression. There w…
