Focal Adhesion Kinase-Mediated Sequences, Including Cell Adhesion, Inflammatory Response, and Fibrosis, as a Therapeutic Target in Endometriosis
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1007/s43032-019-00044-1

Endometriosis has several distinguishing features in the ectopic endometrium, including chronic inflammation and fibrosis. According to the retrograde menstruation theory, endometriotic cells are derived from eutopic endometrial cells, and …

Incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting is not increased by combination of low concentration sevoflurane and propofol compared with propofol alone in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgery.
JA clinical reports ·doi:10.1186/s40981-019-0292-4

BackgroundThe incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is higher in patients receiving volatile anesthetics than those receiving total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol. However, it is unclear whether its incidence is…

Anti-Müllerian hormone as a marker of ovarian reserve: What have we learned, and what should we know?
Reproductive medicine and biology ·doi:10.1007/s12522-015-0227-3

Ovarian reserve reflects the quality and quantity of available oocytes. This reserve has become indispensable for the better understanding of reproductive potential. Measurement of the serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) level allows quantit…

Involvement of mesosalpinx in endometrioma is a possible risk factor for decrease of ovarian reserve after cystectomy: a retrospective cohort study
Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E ·doi:10.1186/s12958-016-0210-9

BACKGROUND: Serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) concentration has been used to assess ovarian reserve in patients with endometriosis, especially when endometrioma surgery is involved. Previously, we reported that decreased serum AMH levels a…

Serum pentraxin 3 as a possible marker for mature cystic teratomas
Gynecological endocrinology : the official journal of the International Society of Gynecological Endocrinology ·doi:10.3109/09513590.2016.1157862

Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is an inflammatory mediator that is released by a wide range of tissues and cells. Elevated PTX3 levels may represent a useful diagnostic and/or prognostic marker for a number of diseases. The purpose of this study was to…

Anti-Müllerian hormone levels after laparoscopic cystectomy for endometriomas as a possible predictor for pregnancy in infertility treatments
Gynecological endocrinology : the official journal of the International Society of Gynecological Endocrinology ·doi:10.3109/09513590.2015.1114078

We assessed the associations between preoperative and postoperative serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels and parameters of endometriosis and endometriomas surgery with the success of infertility treatments after cystectomy. Seventeen o…

Possible Involvement of CD10 in the Development of Endometriosis Due to Its Inhibitory Effects on CD44-Dependent Cell Adhesion
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1177/1933719113488449

A reduced response to progesterone in the eutopic endometrium with endometriosis and in endometriotic tissues is considered to be the underlying factor for endometriosis. CD10 is known to be expressed by endometrial and endometriotic stroma…

Psychological stress during in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer is influenced by the patients' background and gender.
Reproductive medicine and biology ·doi:10.1007/s12522-012-0124-y

PurposeThis study evaluated the changes in psychological stress during in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) and the relationship of such stress to the patients' background and gender.MethodsSixty couples undergoing IVF-ET wer…

Expression and localization of CXCL16 and CXCR6 in ovarian endometriotic tissues
Archives of gynecology and obstetrics ·doi:10.1007/s00404-011-2002-y

PurposeInflammatory mediators, including chemokines, may play crucial roles in the development of endometriosis. Therefore, we investigated the expression and localization of CXCL16 and its receptor, CXCR6, in ovarian endometriotic tissues.…

article 2011
The post-operative decline in serum anti-Mullerian hormone correlates with the bilaterality and severity of endometriosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/der006

BACKGROUND To assess the impact of ovarian cystectomy for endometriomas on the ovarian reserve, we evaluated the pre- and post-operative levels of serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH). We also analyzed the correlations between factors related…

Evaluation of the safety of time-lapse observations for human embryos.
Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics ·doi:10.1007/s10815-010-9385-8

PurposeTo assess the effects of light from an integrated optical microscope and evaluate the safety of time-lapse observations using a built-in microscope incubator.MethodsWe prospectively compared the fertilization rate and embryonic morph…
