Background Pyometra uteri (PU) is an uncommon gynecologic condition characterized by purulent accumulation within the uterine cavity. Although it is typically managed conservatively with drainage and antibiotics, severe cases - particularly…

PURPOSE: To examine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) of the uterine corpus. METHOD: MRI features of 19 patients with pathologically proven MLA of the uterine corpus were retrospectively com…

Endometrioid carcinoma (EC) and clear cell carcinoma (CC) are associated with endometrial tissue hyperplasia and endometriosis, and they occur in the endometrium and ovaries. However, detailed differences between these tumors based on immun…

Decidualization can originate in ovarian endometrioma by elevated serum progesterone levels during pregnancy, which mimics malignancy on ultrasonography. Moreover, decidualized ovarian endometrioma may rupture and cause acute abdominal pain…

IntroductionIsolated torsion of the fallopian tube without an ovarian abnormality is an uncommon event, with an incidence of approximately 1 in 1,500,000 females. Isolated torsion of the fallopian tube occurs mostly in reproductive-aged wom…

We report a rare case of small bowel obstruction (SBO) caused by endometriosis in a postmenopausal woman. A 54-year-old postmenopausal woman presented with severe abdominal pain and vomiting. Before menopause, she sometimes had abdominal pa…

IntroductionOmental hernias are rare and difficult to diagnose preoperatively due to a lack of specific symptoms.Presentation of caseWe report a case of adhesional omental hernia diagnosed at laparoscopy. A 38 year-old female patient with e…

UnlabelledBackgroundCell lines are very useful for clinical and basic research. Thus far, only 11 reports have documented the characteristics of ovarian endometrioid adenocarcinoma cell lines in the literature. Due to the scarcity of inform…

Our results suggest that peritoneal macrophages express IL-1ra mRNA rather than IL-1 beta mRNA with the progress of endometriosis and that peritoneal macrophages may secrete IL-1ra protein that modulates the effects of IL-1.

OBJECTIVES: This multicenter prospective study of buserelin acetate (Suprecur) therapy for endometriosis was performed in order to examine pregnancy rates and the recurrence of endometriosis 1 year after the end of intranasal administration…

To investigate the effects of peritoneal fluid from patients with endometriosis on mouse peritoneal macrophages (Mphi), peritoneal fluid from endometriosis patients (n = 15) were added to a monolayer of C3H/HeJ mouse peritoneal Mphi. Tumor …

Twenty-one human ovarian epithelial carcinomas (13 serous, 3 mucinous, 2 endometrioid and 3 clear cell type) were examined for allelic losses of p53 tumor suppressor gene, pYNZ22 or pTHH59 on chromosome 17. High-molecular-weight DNA was ext…

The levels of interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 beta) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in peritoneal fluid (PF-IL-1 beta and PF-TNF) and production of IL-1 beta and TNF by peritoneal macrophages were determined in patients with benign gynecologic dis…

1. Gestrinone has been used for treatment of pelvic endometriosis, in doses of 2.5 mg twice a week. This study is designed to clarify it from the dynamics of sex steroid receptors in rabbit uterus. 2. Four different regimens were scheduled,…

ABSTRACT: The effects of estradiol (E 2 ), progesterone (P), and danazol on the production of interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) by OK‐432 (a streptococcal preparation)‐stimulated monocytes were examined. E 2 and P at ph…

The LH RH agonist Buserelin was continuously administered through the nose over an extended period to 5 patients with endometriosis at daily doses ranging between 300 micrograms and 1,200 micrograms. The clinical findings and endocrinologic…
