The objective of this study was to determine the distribution of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in eutopic and ectopic endometria in endometriosis and adenomyosis. The subjects were 35 patients with endometriosis diagnosed by laparoscopy, 33 pati…
This study was undertaken to determine the expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS) mRNA in ectopic endometrium in adenomyosis. Endothelial NOS mRNA expression was investigated by in situ hybridization using a human endothelial…
Recent studies have shown that synthase for nitric oxide or scavenger enzymes is distributed throughout the endometrium. We have reported that endothelial nitric oxide synthase, originally identified in vascular endothelial cells, is distri…
Adenomyosis is characterized as ectopic endometrial tissues within the myometrium in the uterus. The only difference between adenomyosis and endometriosis is the site of endometriotic tissues: inside or outside of the uterus. It is well kno…
A computerized morphometric investigation of stromal vascularization in the endometrium during adenomyosis was performed retrospectively. Using a polyclonal antibody and a peroxidase-antiperoxidase method, formalin-fixed paraffin sections o…
OBJECTIVE: To assess the role of beta 1-integrin and E-cadherin molecules in the eutopic glandular epithelium in patients with endometriosis or adenomyosis. STUDY DESIGN: Twenty-four patients with endometriosis, and 22 patients with adenomy…
PROBLEM: Are T cell subsets including gamma delta T cells. HLA antigens or adhesion molecules, expressed in eutopic and ectopic endometria in patients with endometriosis and adenomyosis? METHODS: Subjects consisted of 23 patients with adeno…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the expression of major histocompatibility complex class II antigen (human leukocyte antigen, HLA-DR) in glandular cells in eutopic and ectopic endometria in patients with endometriosis and adenomyosis. PATIENTS: Sub…
OBJECTIVE: We attempted to evaluate the effects of danazol on autoantibodies, in particular, to phospholipids, and on the immune system in patients with adenomyosis. STUDY DESIGN: Forty-two patients with adenomyosis who had high titers of …
