BACKGROUND: Estrogen deprivation therapy for myoma/adenomyosis decreases bone mineral density and can only be applied in the short term, as temporizing measures in the premenopausal woman. OBJECTIVE: To examine the effects of bisphosphonate…
Intrauterine devices (IUDs) provide highly effective, long-term, safe, reversible contraception, and are the most widely used reversible contraceptive method worldwide. The levonorgestrel-releasing IUD (LNG-IUD), originally designed for lon…
Ovarian remnant syndrome (ORS) is a rare, but well-known gynecological complication, most often induced by difficult bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) procedures that leave residual ovarian tissue on the pelvic wall. The most common pre…
PURPOSE: Uterine leiomyomas are the most common benign tumors of reproductive age women, but there is no effective medical therapy to data. Aim of this study was to examine and compare the efficacy of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist …
BACKGROUND: Because of its low incidence, medical treatment of has not yet been well established although surgical excision is generally considered effective. We report the first case of primary bladder endometriosis successfully managed wi…
Angiogenesis contributes to the growth and secondary spreading of solid tumours. Platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor (PD-ECGF) is identified as such an angiogenic factor. In the present study, the prognosis of the patients with …
Expression of estrogen receptor exon 5 splicing variant (ER-E5SV) mRNA contributes to dominant positive properties and metastatic potential of gynecological cancers. Therefore, in endometriotic endometria, which conserve implantation and tu…
To establish the mechanism of development of ovarian endometriosis from the biological function of the adherens junction, we have investigated the expression of E-cadherin, alpha- and beta-catenin mRNAs in ovarian endometriosis in compariso…
In monocytes at the secretory (oestrogen-progesterone dominant) phase of the menstrual cycle, expression of c-fms and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) receptor and activity of tyrosine kinase (TK) were increased by oestradiol wi…
― Recently, much evidence has indicated that sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) play a role in the intracellular action of sex steroids in target cells. In the present work, expression of SHBG mRNA…
