1To whom correspondence should be addressed The concentrations of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in peritoneal fluid (PF) from women with endometriosis (n � 36) and without endometriosis (n � 40) were measured. All of the PF samples examine…
Bowel endometriosis manifesting with ileus is difficult to diagnose, often requiring laparotomy for diagnosis and treatment. We report here a case of ileo-cecal endometriosis causing bowel obstruction. A diagnosis of intestinal endometriosi…
Tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha), a proapoptotic cytokine, is known to be present in peritoneal fluid from women with endometriosis. An emerging view is that soluble TNF receptors (sTNFR) can modulate the effects of TNFalpha by actin…
OBJECTIVE: To examine how preexisting tubal adhesions and endometriosis affect pregnancy outcome after laparoscopic treatment in infertile women with no apparent causes of infertility other than tubal factors. STUDY DESIGN: Pregnancy outcom…
PROBLEM: In the quest for possible involvement of stem cell factor (SCF), a cytokine known to have multiple effects, in the pathogenesis of endometriosis, we evaluated concentrations of SCF in peritoneal fluid (PF) of women with or without …
2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) has been suggested as a possible etiologic factor for endometriosis, a condition in which endometrium-like tissues are present outside the uterus. The prevailing view pertaining to the origin of en…
The concentrations of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in peritoneal fluid (PF) from women with endometriosis (n = 36) and without endometriosis (n = 40) were measured. All of the PF samples examined contained detectable concentrations of HGF…
Ovarian endometrial cysts, one of the typical manifestations of endometriosis, are classified as tumor-like lesions rather than as neoplasms. Clonality analysis provides important information on the histogenesis and progression of neoplasti…
Vaginal agenesis combined with a functional uterus is a rare condition in which treatment modalities that preserve reproductive function are controversial. A 21 year old female presented with congenital vaginal agenesis combined with cervic…
Ovarian endometrial cysts, one of the typical manifestations of endometriosis, are generated by the retention of cyclic hemorrhages and are classified as tumor-like lesions rather than neoplasms. Clonality analysis provides important inform…
Endornetriosis usually remains localized to the peritoneal cavity and intrathoracic endometriosis, in both its pleural and parenchymal forms, is very rare [l]. It can manifest as catamenial pneumothorax, catamenial hemoptysis, or an asympto…
To clarify the mechanism of infertility associated with endometriosis (EM), the effect of peritoneal fluid (PF) on early embryogenesis was examined. The addition of PF (5%) had no effect on the development of mouse 2-cell embryos. Since the…
