A 42-year-old woman with Stage IA, grade 3 clear cell ovarian carcinoma arising within an endometrioma after multiple ovarian stimulation attempts was a unique case from a total of 900 patients who underwent laparoscopy for infertility and …
article
2006
ObjectiveTo investigate the expression of p16, retinoblastoma (pRb), and cyclin D1 oncoproteins in endometriomas and adenomyosis.DesignImmunohistochemical study for p16, pRb, and cyclin D1 proteins in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded endome…

2005
Objectivep53, MDM2, and p21Waf1 are oncoproteins that regulate the cell cycle. The purpose of this study was to examine the distribution of p53, MDM2, and p21Waf1 oncoprotein expression in endometriomas and in adenomyosis.MethodsTissue samp…
article
2004
ObjectiveApoptosis is an important regulator of eutopic endometrial function. Endometriosis, the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, could result from increased cellular proliferation or decreased apoptosis in response to appro…

ObjectivePeritoneal fluid (PF) inflammatory factors may participate in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. The aim of this study was to investigate PF interleukin (IL)-18 levels in women with and without endometriosis.DesignControlled clinic…
article
2003
BACKGROUND: Interleukin (IL)-15 is a novel cytokine with immunoregulatory and angiogenic properties. We compared IL-15 levels in the peritoneal fluid (PF) of women with and without endometriosis. METHODS: PF samples were obtained from 55 wo…

PROBLEM: Pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) belongs to a group of glycoproteins isolated from extracts of human placenta. Healthy ovarian and uterine tissues are also known to express PAPP-A. We hypothesized that PAPP-A levels m…
article
2003
BACKGROUND: The role of leptin in reproductive processes has received increasing attention. Because leptin has intrinsic angiogenic properties, may be induced by inflammatory cytokines and induces matrix metalloproteinases, we examined peri…
review
2003
In the coming years, basic science research into the mechanisms of endometriosis development and persistence almost certainly will open new avenues for treatment. A wide armamentarium of medical therapies already exists, however. The effica…

A 36-year-old woman with a 20-year history of endometriosis-associated pelvic pain was a unique case from a total of 700 patients with endometriosis recently evaluated at Yale University. Her previous treatments included 11 surgical procedu…
review
2002
The association between endometriosis and infertility is complex. Nevertheless, in the absence of tubal distortion considerable evidence suggests four principle factors likely to contribute to subfertility. These include impaired folliculog…
review
2002
PROBLEM: Chemokines are increasingly recognized as important regulators of uterine function. METHODS OF STUDY: The following is a review of uterine chemokines, especially monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-1, interleukin (IL)-8, and regulat…
review
2001
The preponderance of recent data suggests that endometriosis does not adversely affect in-vitro fertilization pregnancy rates. However, many studies demonstrate impaired oocyte quality, decreased fertilization, and compromised implantation …
