ObjectiveEpithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a heterogeneous disease with diverse clinicopathological features and behaviors, and its heterogeneity may be concerned with the accumulation of multiple somatic oncogenic mutations. The major goa…
PURPOSE: To identify the upstream regulators (URs) involved in the onset and pathogenesis of ovarian endometrioma. METHODS: Recently, a method called Significance-based Modules Integrating the Transcriptome and Epigenome (SMITE) that uses t…
BACKGROUND: In ovarian endometriomas (OE), the expression statuses of various steroid hormone receptors are altered compared with their expression statuses in eutopic endometrium (EE). For example, in OE, the expressions of estrogen recepto…
Objectives: Needle and laser acupuncture are often used to improve the success rate of assisted reproductive technology (ART). This study examined whether needle or laser acupuncture ameliorated the emotional distress experienced by inferti…
BackgroundMesonephric adenocarcinoma (MA) is a rare tumor believed to arise from mesonephric remnants occurring mostly in the uterine cervix and, to a lesser extent, the corpus. Since the first case report of MA in the corpus in 1995, only …
AimAlthough a thin endometrium has been well recognized as a critical factor in implantation failure, little information is available regarding the molecular mechanisms. The present study investigated these mechanisms by using genome-wide m…
BACKGROUND: Despite endometriosis is common estrogen dependent disease afflicting women in reproductive age, the pathogenesis has not been fully elucidated. Retinoic acid has various functions in cells as biologic modulator, and aberrant re…
BACKGROUND: Additional treatment with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist (GnRHa) before IVF-ET (ultralong GnRHa therapy) has been reported to improve the outcome of IVF-ET in endometriosis patients. However, the mechanism of ul…
BackgroundClomiphene citrate (CC) is most commonly used as a first-line treatment of infertility. However, a disturbance of endometrial growth by the adverse effects of the CC has been recognized. Since a thin endometrium is recognized as a…
BackgroundBlood flow in the corpus luteum (CL) is closely related to luteal function. It is unclear how luteal blood flow is regulated. Standardized ovarian-stimulation protocol with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa long prot…
BackgroundBlood flow in the corpus luteum (CL) is associated with luteal function. The present study was undertaken to investigate whether luteal function can be improved by increasing CL blood flow in women with luteal phase defect (LFD).M…
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the role of melatonin in the physiology and pathophysiology of the ovary. DESIGN: Review of literature. SETTING: University Health Science Center. RESULT(S): Melatonin plays an essential role in the pathogenesis o…
Between January, 1966 and December, 1988, 66 patients with surgical-pathological stage II adenocarcinoma of the endometrium who were treated with abdominal simple or radical hysterectomy at the Osaka National Hospital were studied retrospec…
