Mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma presenting with malignant peritonitis and suspected to originate from the fallopian tube: A case report.
World journal of clinical cases ·doi:10.12998/wjcc.v13.i32.110813

BackgroundMesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) is a rare and highly malignant disease that occurs in the uterine body or ovaries. We report a case of a MLA that was considered to have originated in the fallopian tube and presented with mal…

article 2019
Immunohistochemical expression of CD44v9 and 8‐OHdG in ovarian endometrioma and the benign endometriotic lesions adjacent to clear cell carcinoma
Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research ·doi:10.1111/jog.14093

AIM: Expression of CD44 variant isoforms (CD44v) promotes the synthesis of reduced glutathione and contributes to reactive oxygen species defense through up-regulation of the intracellular antioxidant. The aim of the study was to investigat…

article 2019
Subtype I (intrinsic) adenomyosis is an independent risk factor for dienogest-related serious unpredictable bleeding in patients with symptomatic adenomyosis
Scientific reports ·doi:10.1038/s41598-019-54096-z

We aimed to retrospectively analyze the risk factors of a continuous dienogest (DNG) therapy for serious unpredictable bleeding in patients with symptomatic adenomyosis. This is a retrospective study based on data extracted from medical rec…

Conceptual frameworks of synthetic lethality in clear cell carcinoma of the ovary.
Biomedical reports ·doi:10.3892/br.2018.1114

Targeting non-oncogenes may result in the selective death of cancer cells. Clear cell carcinoma of the ovary (CCC) may exhibit resistance against conventional chemotherapy and is associated with poor prognosis. The aim of the present report…

Potential signaling pathways as therapeutic targets for overcoming chemoresistance in mucinous ovarian cancer.
Biomedical reports ·doi:10.3892/br.2018.1045

Cases of mucinous ovarian cancer are predominantly resistant to chemotherapies. The present review summarizes current knowledge of the therapeutic potential of targeting the Wingless (WNT) pathway, with particular emphasis on preclinical an…

2017
The conceptual advances of carcinogenic sequence model in high-grade serous ovarian cancer.
Biomedical reports ·doi:10.3892/br.2017.955

The present review focuses on the current status of molecular pathology in high-grade serous cancer (HGSC) and preneoplastic conditions. This article reviews the English-language literature on HGSC, precursor, fallopian tubal epithelium, se…

Fetal programming theory: implication for the understanding of endometriosis
Human immunology ·doi:10.1016/j.humimm.2013.12.012

Comparison of the transcriptomes and proteomes of the decidualization-specific genes that express high vs low levels of the eutopic and ectopic endometrium of women with endometriosis compared with controls, could be useful in understanding…

article 2014
Genes Downregulated in Endometriosis Are Located Near the Known Imprinting Genes
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1177/1933719114526473

There is now accumulating evidence that endometriosis is a disease associated with an epigenetic disorder. Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon known to regulate DNA methylation of either maternal or paternal alleles. We hypothesi…

review 2014
Mechanism of pain generation for endometriosis-associated pelvic pain
Archives of gynecology and obstetrics ·doi:10.1007/s00404-013-3049-8

PURPOSE: Endometriosis-associated pelvic pain appears due to persistent nociceptive stimulation, but the precise mechanisms remain poorly understood. METHODS: A search was conducted to screen and select articles from PubMed. MAIN RESULTS:…
