BackgroundUnlike many North American and European countries, Japan has observed a continuous increase in cancer incidence over the last few decades. We examined the most recent trends in population-based cancer incidence and mortality in Ja…
AIM: The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of T2 star (T2*) mapping in diagnosing ovarian cysts/ tumors. METHODS: diameter circle, was set as much as possible inside ovarian tumors/cysts to measure T2*values, and mean T2* va…
Endometriosis is observed in ∼10% of reproductive age women. Ovarian endometriosis not only causes dysmenorrhea but also causes infertility and a high risk of adenocarcinoma. Due to its scattered nature, complete surgical resection is diffi…
During artificial insemination of an 18-year-old female Japanese Black cow, a mass that was of a hen's egg size was found in the vagina. On necropsy, the firm mass, measuring approximately 3.5 × 3.5 × 3.0 cm, was located at the superior reg…
OBJECTIVE: DNA methylation in the promoter regions of many genes is associated with the regulation of gene expression. We examined the frequency of DNA hypermethylation at two nucleotide positions, the proximal promoter region (PPR) in exon…
To establish the mechanism of development of ovarian endometriosis from the biological function of the adherens junction, we have investigated the expression of E-cadherin, alpha- and beta-catenin mRNAs in ovarian endometriosis in compariso…
In monocytes at the secretory (oestrogen-progesterone dominant) phase of the menstrual cycle, expression of c-fms and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) receptor and activity of tyrosine kinase (TK) were increased by oestradiol wi…
― Recently, much evidence has indicated that sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) play a role in the intracellular action of sex steroids in target cells. In the present work, expression of SHBG mRNA…
Conservative surgery was used in the treatment of 95 infertile patients with endometriosis who desired to have a child; of these 95 patients, 44 (46.3%) became pregnant after treatment. We studied the postoperative pregnancy rate and the ex…
