Transcriptome landscapes induced by estetrol, estradiol, and ethinylestradiol in primary human endometriotic stromal cells
F&S science ·doi:10.1016/j.xfss.2025.06.002

OBJECTIVE: To compare the transcriptomes induced by estrogens used in combined oral contraceptives (COCs): estetrol (E4), ethinylestradiol (EE), and estradiol (E2) in human primary endometriotic stromal cells. DESIGN: Endometriotic stromal…

Endogenous Microbacteria Can Contribute to Ovarian Carcinogenesis by Reducing Iron Concentration in Cysts: A Pilot Study
Microorganisms ·doi:10.3390/microorganisms12030538

Among epithelial ovarian cancer, clear cell carcinoma is common for chemo-resistance and high mortality. This cancer arises from benign ovarian endometrioma (OE), which is a high oxidative stress environment due to the cystic retention of m…

The clinical trial of alternative relugolix administration for uterine leiomyoma prior to surgically treatment: a study protocol for Non-Adverse Relugolix Administration (NARA) trial.
Trials ·doi:10.1186/s13063-024-07923-2

BackgroundUterine leiomyomas are common for reproductive-aged women and affect women's quality of life due to heavy menstrual bleeding or dysmenorrhea. Leiomyomas grow according to estradiol exposure and decrease after post-menopause. In ca…

The Comparison of Three Predictive Indexes to Discriminate Malignant Ovarian Tumors from Benign Ovarian Endometrioma: The Characteristics and Efficacy
Diagnostics ·doi:10.3390/diagnostics12051212

This study aimed to evaluate the prediction efficacy of malignant transformation of ovarian endometrioma (OE) using the Copenhagen Index (CPH-I), the risk of ovarian malignancy algorithm (ROMA), and the R2 predictive index. This retrospecti…

The Endometriotic Neoplasm Algorithm for Risk Assessment (e-NARA) Index Sheds Light on the Discrimination of Endometriosis-Associated Ovarian Cancer from Ovarian Endometrioma
Biomedicines ·doi:10.3390/biomedicines10112683

BACKGROUND: Magnetic resonance (MR) relaxometry provides a noninvasive tool to discriminate endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) from ovarian endometrioma (OE) with high accuracy. However, this method has a limitation in discrimin…

A Novel Predictive Tool for Discriminating Endometriosis Associated Ovarian Cancer from Ovarian Endometrioma: The R2 Predictive Index
Cancers ·doi:10.3390/cancers13153829

BACKGROUND: Magnetic resonance (MR) relaxometry provides a noninvasive tool to discriminate between ovarian endometrioma (OE) and endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC), with a sensitivity and specificity of 86% and 94%, respectivel…

Pleurography (thoracography) for pleural fistulas: A case series.
JTCVS techniques ·doi:10.1016/j.xjtc.2021.03.017

BackgroundPleurography (PG) has been described previously but has not gained popularity. PG can determine the exact air leak points in the lung, which is important for treating pneumothorax and pleural fistulas. We believe that the usefulne…

Role of Oxidative Stress in Epigenetic Modification in Endometriosis
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1177/1933719117704909

Aberrant DNA methylation and histone modification are associated with an increased risk of reproductive disorders such as endometriosis. However, a cause-effect relationship between epigenetic mechanisms and endometriosis development has no…

Left-Sided Catamenial Pneumothorax with Thoracic Endometriosis and Bullae in the Alveolar Wall
Annals of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery : official journal of the Association of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeons of Asia ·doi:10.5761/atcs.cr.16-00112

Catamenial pneumothorax (CP) is generally caused by intraperitoneal air leaking from the uterus into the thoracic cavity via a defect in the endometrial tissue of the diaphragm and is usually detected in the right thorax. We report a case o…

A case of synchronous mucinous metaplasia and neoplasia of the female genital tract without an STK11 or KRAS mutation.
Gynecologic oncology case reports ·doi:10.1016/j.gynor.2013.02.005

► Synchronous mucinous metaplasia and neoplasia of the female genital tract (SMMN-FGT) is a rare mucinous lesion. ► This is the first case of SMMN-FGT with DNA sequencing of STK11 and KRAS, but no mutation was identified.

Application of transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy for ovarian drilling using Nd:YAG laser in infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
Reproductive medicine and biology ·doi:10.1046/j.1445-5781.2003.00018.x

Since transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy (THL) was introduced as the first-line procedure in the early stage of the exploration of the tubo-ovarian structures in infertile women, it has been shown that THL is a less traumatic and a more suitable…

[Catamenial pneumothorax due to diaphragmatic endometriosis; report of a surgical case].
Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery

A 27-year-old female was complained repeated right pneumothorax. Each episode was obviously related to the onset of menstruation, suggesting catamenial pneumothorax. Thoracoscope revealed the presence of several fistulas in the central tend…
