Our aim was to investigate whether celecoxib, a cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) inhibitor, decreases the in vitro proliferation of leiomyoma cells if the inflammatory pathway is blocked. Menstruation is an inflammation of uterus that produces cyto…

OBJECTIVE: We sought to evaluate the cumulative recurrence rate of endometrioma after a second-line, conservative, laparoscopic endometriotic cyst enucleation and to analyze the factors that influence the recurrence of endometrioma. STUDY …

OBJECTIVE: This study was performed to identify whether growth and differentiation factor-9 (GDF-9) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) expressions would be lower in the follicular fluid (FF) of those over age 35 who underwent IVF th…

Purpose: Abdominal actinomycosis is a rare chronic suppurative infectious disease, caused by a gram-positive bands Actinomyces israelii organism. The pathogens produces a characteristic granulomatous inflammatory fibrosis and mass lesion. A…

Objective : To understand the pathogenesis of adenomyosis through the immunohistochemical staining with bcl-2 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) antibody. Methods : We selected 45 cases of adenomyosis among the uterine specimens that we…
