Association study between epidermal growth factor receptor and epidermal growth factor polymorphisms and endometriosis in a Japanese population
Gynecological endocrinology : the official journal of the International Society of Gynecological Endocrinology ·doi:10.1080/09513590701521057

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…

Vascular endothelial growth factor +936 C/T polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of endometriosis in a Japanese population
Acta obstetricia et gynecologica Scandinavica ·doi:10.1080/00016340701644991

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…

Association Study of Endometriosis and Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1 (ICAM-1) Gene Polymorphisms in a Japanese Population
Journal of the Society for Gynecologic Investigation ·doi:10.1016/j.jsgi.2005.03.002
article 2005
Association study of endometriosis and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM1) gene polymorphisms in a Japanese population, J Soc Gynecol Investig 12

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is an immune-related, chronic inflammatory disease with polygenic predis-position. Cell adhesion molecules are expressed in endometriotic lesions, and in cells and tissues that are involved in the development and pr…

Lack of association between endometriosis and theCYP17 MspA1 polymorphism in UK and Japanese populations
Gynecological endocrinology : the official journal of the International Society of Gynecological Endocrinology ·doi:10.1080/09513590400020856

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…

The tumor necrosis factor-α promoter −1031C polymorphism is associated with decreased risk of endometriosis in a Japanese population
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/deh478

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 …

Successful Medical Treatment With Danazol After Failed Embolization of Uterine Arteriovenous Malformation
·doi:10.1097/00006250-200310000-00028

In Brief BACKGROUND Transcatheter arterial embolization has been the therapy of choice for uterine arteriovenous malformations, whereas medical therapy has not been popular because of patient propensity to bleed. CASE A 29-year-old woman, g…

Effects of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system on proliferation and apoptosis in the endometrium
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/16.10.2103

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…
