INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis-associated intestinal tumors (EAITs) are rare malignancies that arise from ectopic endometrial tissue, and their clinical and molecular characteristics remain poorly defined. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a 53-ye…
Postoperative adhesions (PA) remain an untreatable complication of abdominal surgery. In this study, we analyzed the role of interleukin-8 (IL-8) in the formation of PA using human cells in vitro and cynomolgus monkeys in vivo, as rodents l…
Postoperative adhesions frequently occur following abdominal surgical interventions, leading to serious morbidities and requiring new therapeutic strategies. The development of new therapeutic agents to reduce postoperative adhesions needs …
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in detecting and classifying adhesions between pelvic organs caused by endometriosis, comparing MRI findings to those obtained by laparoscopy. DESIGN: Pros…
Ezrin-radixin-moesin-binding phosphoprotein 50 (EBP50) is a scaffold protein that is required for epithelial polarity. Knockout (KO) of membranous EBP50 (Me-EBP50) in ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) cells induced an epithelial-mesenchym…
STUDY QUESTION: Does spontaneous endometriosis in cynomolgus monkeys have the characteristics required of a good experimental model? SUMMARY ANSWER: Spontaneous endometriosis in cynomolgus monkeys exhibited similar clinicopathological chara…
STUDY QUESTION: What are the characteristics of spontaneous endometriosis in cynomolgus monkeys? SUMMARY ANSWER: Spontaneous endometriosis in cynomolgus monkeys exhibited similar characteristics to the human disease. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY…
Primary umbilical endometriosis is extremely rare, although cases secondary to previous surgery have occasionally been reported. Here, we report three cases of umbilical endometriosis: two cases with previous cesarean section and one case o…
ObjectiveTo investigate the pathogenesis of endometriotic pain.DesignRetrospective nonrandomized immunohistochemical study.SettingA university hospital, Department of Gynecology.Patient(s)Twenty human endometriotic specimens were selected f…
PROBLEM: To investigate the molecular mechanism of endometriosis, gene expression profiling was analyzed in a rat endometriosis model. METHOD OF STUDY: An endometriosis model was induced by uterine autotransplantation in the peritoneal cavi…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the localization of the proteins osteopontin (OPN) and L-selectin (SELL). DESIGN: Retrospective nonrandomized immunohistochemical study in a surgically induced rat model of peritoneal endometriosis and in samples …
ObjectiveTo investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of n-3 eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) compared with n-6 linoleic acid (LA) in an endometriosis rat model. We focused on the relationship between lipid metabolism and inflammatory reactions i…
PROBLEM: Although the presence of mast cells in endometriosis lesions has been reported, there have been no reports of their pathological localization in ovarian endometrial cysts. METHODS OF STUDY: The localization of mast cells in ovaria…
Study objectivesTo investigate the pathophysiology of human endometriosis, we examined by morphological and molecular biological methods.MethodsSamples of ovarian endometriosis and normal ovarian tissues were obtained laparoscopically after…
