The surface epithelial cells of the ovary, which are modified peritoneal cells, form a single, focally pseudostratified layer. The Müllerian ducts differentiate after invagination of the coelomic mesothelium over the gonadal ridges during t…
The human ovarian surface epithelium (hOSE) is a single layer of mesothelial-type primitive epithelial cells that are potential estrogen targets. It has been reported that hOSE cells can produce estrogen. However, the mechanisms that regula…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study was to compare T2-weighted and contrast-enhanced dynamic T1-weighted images with histologic findings in assessing the depth of myometrial invasion by endometrial carcinoma in adenomyosis. MATERIALS AND METHOD…
OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to examine the prevalence of endometriosis among female siblings of patients with endometriosis in Japan. METHODS: A total of 339 patients with endometriosis were questioned about endometriosis in their s…
Objective: Noninvasive evaluation must be required for deeply infiltrating endometriosis, typically accompanied by pelvic pain, dyspareunia, and bowel retraction. To explore noninvasive diagnostic methods for deeply infiltrating endometrios…
Ovarian epithelial tumors are thought to derive from the surface epithelium of the ovary, which differentiates after invagination of the coelomic mesothelium over the gonadal ridges during early embryonic development. On the putative muller…
Ultrastructure studies of pelvic peritoneal tissue from women undergoing laparotomy suggest that before endometriosis has become established in the peritoneum, there might be a metaplastic change by peritoneal mesothelial cells into endomet…
Uterosacral ligaments are one of the common targets of pelvic endometriosis, which is usually clinically rather than surgically diagnosed. This study was performed to determine if uterosacral ligaments infiltrated by endometriosis could be …
'To whom correspondence should be addressed Uterosacral ligaments are one of the common targets of pelvic endometriosis, which is usually clinically rather than surgically diagnosed. This study was performed to determine if uterosacral…
OBJECTIVE: To determine which of the various cytokines interleukin-5 (IL-5), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-1 (IL-1) are important in endometriosis. METHODS: Peritoneal fluid (PF) samples were taken from 55 women at the time of either…
The pathogenesis of pelvic endometriosis has been studied by using scanning electron and light microscopy, observing the surface structure of bluish lesions obtained from 26 patients during laparotomy. Paraffin sections included another 17 …
Ovarian twin pregnancy is quite uncommon. We present a case of an ovarian twin pregnancy associated with pelvic endometriosis. The ultrasonographic findings in our case were similar to those of malignant ovarian tumor. Five cases of ovarian…
The pelvic peritoneum with macroscopic findings characteristic of endometriosis was biopsied in 18 cases at conservative surgery for endometriosis and examined. Pelvic lymph nodes removed in 76 cases at radical surgery for uterine cervical,…
Eleven premenopausal women with uterine myoma who received 300 micrograms of intranasal Gn-RH agonist (buserelin) three times daily for 6 months participated in this study. Serum estradiol, some parameters related to calcium metabolism and …
An outpatient department screening method for endometriosis was prepared by designing a scoring system in a retrospective study. We compared the incidence of 21 characteristic symptoms and the finding of endometriosis in 39 infertile women …
Vaginal pessaries of gemeprost were administered for evaluation of the vascular responsiveness to angiotensin II in the second trimester pregnancy. The mean arterial blood pressure and the vasosensitivity to A-II measured before and after t…
Ultrastructurally, three possible pathways of capillary permeability were observed during the ovulatory process in rabbit ovarian follicles treated with human chorionic gonadotrophin: namely, pinocytotic vesicles, fenestrations, and interen…
Histochemical and in vitro investigations of the autonomic innervation in the human mesotubarium ovarica (MTO) are described here in the course of our studying its physiologic role in the capture of released oocytes at ovulation. The presen…
