Objective: Studies on leiomyoma of uterus and phthalates, one of the estrogen-dependent diseases, have shown equivocal results. However, in our case-control study, phthalate exposure in patients with uterine leiomyoma was found to be higher…

We assessed the urinary concentration of 16 phthalate metabolites in 57 women with and without uterine leiomyoma (n = 30 and 27; respectively) to determine the association between phthalate exposure and uterine leiomyoma. To evaluate exposu…

OBJECTIVE: To determine if neurofilament (NF) is expressed in the endometrium and the lesions of myomas and adenomyosis, and to determine their correlation. METHODS: Histologic sections were prepared from hysterectomies performed on women …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether there are neurofilament (NF)-positive nerve fibers in the eutopic endometrium of patients with myoma and endometriosis by using stromal cell culture and to verify whether progesterone has an effect on the NF-p…

Iatrogenic endometriosis and leiomyoma are rare complication of laparoscopic subtotal hysterectomy. I experienced a case of pelvic endometriosis and leiomyoma concurrently arising after laparoscopic subtotal hysterectomy 2 years ago. The pa…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of NF-kappaB during the induction of COX-2 by TNF-alpha in the eutopic endometrium of women with and without endometriosis using stromal cell culture. STUDY DESIGN: Experimental study in cultured stromal …

Objective: To examine survivin expression in extrapelvic endometriosis. Methods: The study group consisted of 14 cases with extrapelvic endometriosis which were confirmed histologically. The control group (total, n=47) was divided into 2 gr…

목적: 성선자극호르몬 분비호르몬 효능제가 자궁내막증의 중요한 병인으로 생각되는 아로마타제와 COX-2에 직접적인 작용이 있는지를 생체 내 뿐 아니라, 난소 자궁내막종과 자궁내막증 환자의 자궁내막의 기질 세포 배양을 통해 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 방법: 불임 클리닉을 내원한 환자들 중 복강경 수술을 요하는 환자군을 대상으로 전향적 연구를 실시하였다. 복강경수술 상 난소에 자궁내막종이 보이면 낭종적출술 (enucleation)을 …

Objective: To examine expression of survivin and Bcl-2 in eutopic endometrium with endometriosis and without endometriosis by immunohistochemical stain. Methods: Expression of survivin and Bcl-2 was immunohistochemically investigated in eut…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of hysteroscopy and the frequency of endometrial polyps in women with endometriosis. DESIGN: Retrospective clinical study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2). SETTING: Infertility unit …

Objective : To investigate the efficacy of low-dose aspirin and corticosteroid in IVF-ET patients with endometriosis. Materials and Methods : 45 infertile patients with endometriosis underwent 59 consecutive IVF-ET cycles. In the treatment …
