Endometriosis is estrogen-dependent disease that is related to the inflammatory process in the peritoneal cavity. To being activated by pro-inflammatory cytokines, endometriosis is also influenced by the response of progesterone receptors. …
OBJECTIVE: Dienogest, a synthetic steroid with progestational activity, is used as a component of oral contraceptives and is currently being evaluated clinically for the treatment of endometriosis. The present study was conducted to confirm…
Dienogest is an orally active synthetic steroid that is used for contraception and is currently being studied for the possible treatment of endometriosis. Earlier we demonstrated that dienogest had therapeutic effects on experimental endome…
BACKGROUND: Dienogest is a synthetic progestational steroid that is used for contraception. It is being studied for the treatment of endometriosis, but its anticancer activity remains unknown. The authors investigated the anticancer effect …
PROBLEM: This study examines immune cell populations in rats with autotransplanted endometrium and determines the effect of danazol on leukocyte subsets. METHODS: As an experimental model of endometriosis, an autologous endometrial segment …
We examined GAT, a newly developed tumor marker, in serum samples collected from 1,503 females in six institutions: 387 healthy females, 1,052 patients with gynecological diseases including 311 ovarian cancers, and 64 with nongynecological …
Serum samples from patients with benign or malignant diseases were measured for the newly developed tumor markers CA54/61 and CA602 with the respective EIA kits for assessment of their utility as tumor markers. A total of 5236 patients were…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate cell-mediated immunity in endometriosis. DESIGN: Peritoneal fluid and peripheral blood samples from 19 women with macroscopic evidence of endometriosis and 26 controls were submitted to 2-color flow cytometric analysi…
Galactosyltransferase Associated with Tumor (GAT) was clinically studied in cases of ovarian cancer. When two cut-off levels of GAT were compared, the cut-off level of 16 U/ml (which corresponds to mean + 2SD among healthy females) was foun…
Tumor DNA content (ploidy) was determined by flow-cytometry (FCM) on tissue from 32 epithelial ovarian cancer patients. Staining for DNA analysis was achieved with Propidium Iodide. Peripheral blood lymphocytes were used as reference diploi…
A cell line designated RMG-II was established from the ascites of a patient with ovarian clear cell carcinoma. The chromosomal analysis revealed aneuploidy with a hypertetraploid modal number and 8 marker chromosomes. Radioimmunoassay and i…
The DNA content in individual cells from 40 cases of histopathologically normal endometria, 15 of endometrial hyperplasia and 68 of endometrial adenocarcinoma was measured by flow cytometry. An aneuploid cell population was found in 50% of …
Danazol, which is commonly employed in the treatment of endometriosis creates a low estrogen and high androgen condition by suppressing ovarian steroidogenesis. When a reproductive-aged woman suddenly develops low estrogen, even if it is re…
