BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is the presence of endometrial glands or stroma in sites other than the uterine cavity. It is variable in both its surgical appearance and clinical manifestation often with poor correlation between the two. Surgica…
OBJECTIVES: To assess the efficacy of laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of pelvic pain associated with endometriosis. The review aims to compare the effectiveness of any laparoscopic procedure versus any other treatment modality, includ…
An association between endometriosis and the glutathione S-transferase (GST) M1 null mutation has been reported in French and Slavic populations. We aimed to replicate this association of endometriosis in a UK population, and to test for as…
An association between the N314D polymorphism of galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase and endometriosis has recently been reported in a North American population. To determine whether such an association exists in the UK population, we …
Peritoneal fluid is a specific microenvironment. It originates mainly as an ovarian exudation product due to increased vascular permeability, and contains large amounts of macrophages and their secretion products, which include growth facto…
OBJECTIVES: To describe duration of symptoms and patterns of diagnosis and referral in women with chronic pelvic pain. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort analysis of the MediPlus UK Primary Care Database. SETTING: One hundred and thirty-six gener…
Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of functional endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, most commonly on the ovary and peritoneum. The aetiology of endometriosis is not understood, although the adhesion of endometrial ce…
Peritoneal fluid and the intraovarian milieu are a specific microenvironment. Peritoneal fluid originates mainly as an ovarian exudation product caused by increased vascular permeability, with cyclic variation in volume and steroid hormones…
The autopsy records between 1980 and 1995 of 399 female rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) at the Wisconsin Regional Primate Research Center were examined. Spontaneous endometriosis was found in 81 (20%) of the animals. The mean (+/- SD) ages …
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed to measure anti-endometrial antibody concentrations in the serum of women with endometriosis. Pooled cytosolic protein extracts from the endometrial gland cells of 10 women were use…
The expression of integrin subunits has been investigated in the stroma and epithelium of eutopic and ectopic endometrial tissues, using immunohistochemistry and fluorescently activated cell-sorting techniques. Integrin subunits exhibited t…
Uterine endometrium contains numerous bone marrow-derived cells. The spectrum of cell types is different from that of any other tissue, and the differences in endometrium from women with endometriosis may reflect a different endometrial phe…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of the plasminogen activator (PA)-plasmin system components in ectopic endometrium and in uterine endometrium from women with and without endometriosis. DESIGN: Plasminogen, PAs (urokinase and tissu…
OBJECTIVE: To compare dydrogesterone with placebos in the treatment of minimal to mild endometriosis. DESIGN: Prospective, double-blind, randomized study. SETTING: Three Obstetrics and Gynaecology Departments in the United Kingdom. PATIE…

The present study investigates the specificity of anti-endometrial antibodies present in serum of women with endometriosis. A two colour indirect immuno-histochemical method was used, so that the antigenic reactivity of endogenous immunoglo…
The objective of this study is to determine in a group of subfertile women whether patient history can differentiate women with a healthy pelvis from those with endometriosis or adnexal adhesions. In this prospective study, consecutive subf…
This study assessed the effects on plasma adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol concentrations of 3 months' treatment with intranasal nafarelin 200 micrograms b.d. in 11 women (aged 26-43 years) for the treatment of endometriosis…
'Chocolate' fluid aspirated from endometriotic cysts was injected into the peritoneal cavity of mice. No peritoneal adhesions or endometriosis were noted when the animals were killed 7-37 days later.
Appropriate endometrial differentiation is believed to be a prerequisite for pregnancy success. This study investigates the expression of two intermediate filament proteins, cytokeratin and vimentin, in human endometrium and first trimester…
