Background. Although radiation exposure is of great concern to expecting patients, little information is available on the fetal radiation dose associated with prophylactic internal iliac artery balloon occlusion (IIABO). Here we estimated t…
Mayer-Rokitanski-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is a rare disease. A 27-year-old woman was admitted for primary amenorrhea and cyclic pelvic pain. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed bilateral Müllerian remnants with functioning endome…
Endometriosis, a disease affecting 3% to 10% of women of reproductive age, is characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue under the influence of estrogen. It is also becoming recognized as a condition in which ectopic endometr…
CONTEXT: During the development of endometriotic lesions, excess fibrosis may lead to scarring and to the alterations of tissue function that are the characteristic features of this disease. Enhanced extracellular matrix contractility of en…
ObjectiveEndometriosis is characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue. One of the first steps to the spread of endometriosis in the peritoneal cavity is the attachment of endometriotic cells to peritoneal surfaces after they h…
CONTEXT: Decidualization of the endometrium involves the morphological and biochemical reprogramming of the estrogen-primed proliferative endometrial stromal compartment under the continuing influence of progesterone. OBJECTIVES: The aim of…
ObjectiveTo assess the use of heparin for the medical treatment of endometriosis-associated fibrosis.DesignThe effects of heparin on the endometriotic stromal cells (ECSCs)-mediated contractility were investigated.SettingResearch laboratory…
Endometriosis, a disease affecting 3-10% of women of reproductive age, is characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue. Increasingly, endometriosis is also becoming recognized as a condition in which ectopic endometrial cells e…
Simvastatin significantly inhibited the proliferation of endometriotic stromal cells, attenuated the collagen gel contraction mediated by these cells, and suppressed endometriotic stromal cell attachment to collagen fibers. Simvastatin is c…
BACKGROUND: Excessive fibrosis is frequently associated with endometriosis. To evaluate the involvement of the extracellular matrix contractility of endometriotic stromal cells (ECSCs) in the pathogenesis of endometriosis-associated fibrosi…
Most of the current medical treatments for endometriosis aim to downregulate estrogen activity. However, a high recurrence rate after medical treatment has been the most significant problem. BAY 11-7085, a soluble inhibitor of NK-kappaB act…
BACKGROUND: Most of the current medical treatments for endometriosis aim to down-regulate the estrogen activity. However, a high recurrence rate after medical treatments has been the most significant problem. Beta-hydroxyisovalerylshikonin …
