BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Treatment of endometriosis-associated infertility has not yet become standardized. Various protocols including surgical treatment, medical therapy, and a combination of both have been suggested but their use remains …
BACKGROUND: To determine whether there is a factor (or factors) in the peritoneal fluid of endometriosis patients that impairs embryo growth and embryo implantation. METHODS: Growth and development of two-cell mouse embryos which were cult…
PROBLEM: To verify whether the peritoneal macrophage (PM) is activated in endometriosis. METHOD OF STUDY: We examined the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO), total antioxidant, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, and IL-12 by cultured PMs, which were ei…
To clarify the effect of peritoneal fluids (PF) of women with various stages of endometriosis on sperm motility, we utilized computer-aides sperm analysis (CASA) to analyze sperm movement characteristics. PF was collected in the early folli…
PROBLEM: An immunologic basis has long been considered to be very important in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Interactions of the peritoneal cells, which comprise macrophages, B cells, T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and retrograde …
This study was performed to determine whether peritoneal T cells are suppressed in the CD4+ or CD8+ T cell subpopulation and whether they are Th1 or Th2 predominant in women with endometriosis. Immune cells in the peritoneal fluid (PF) were…
To explore the role of nitric oxide (NO) and oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of adhesion formation and in endometriosis-associated infertility, we examined the peritoneal total antioxidant status (TAS) and the concentrations of product…
PROBLEM: Our previous study reported that peritoneal natural killer (NK) cytotoxicity and CD3+CD25+ lymphocyte subpopulation were suppressed in women with advanced endometriosis. Whether these phenomena are general for all stages of endomet…
We examined the lymphocytes of peripheral blood (PB) and peritoneal fluid (PF) of women with or without endometriosis to investigate the alteration of cytotoxic activity of natural killer (NK) cells and activation of T cells in the peritone…
