Survivin is a novel inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP), and the two splice variants of survivin (survivin-2B and survivin-EX3) have been identified. Gene expression levels of survivin, survivin-2B and survivin-EX3 in 56 ectopic (16 peritoneal red…
The biologic properties of adenomyosis and the effects of therapeutic agents on adenomyosis were evaluated with immunohistochemistry, terminal deoxy-nucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end-labeling (TUNEL) method, transmission…
Angiogenesis is essential for the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Gene expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) A and C in 10 eutopic endometrial, 23 normal peritoneal, and 62 endometriotic tissues surgically obtained f…
Various types of cell adhesion molecules and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) seem to play an important role in the invasion process of endometriosis; however, limited investigation has focused on their gene expression in human peritoneal e…
ObjectiveTo evaluate how endometriosis affects expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in granulosa cells.DesignProspective study.SettingIVF-ET program at Osaka Medical College.Patient(s)Seventeen pa…
Survivin is a novel inhibitor of apoptosis and is expressed during fetal development and in cancer tissues, but its expression has not been reported in normal adult tissues or benign diseases. We investigated survivin gene and protein expre…
OBJECTIVE: To assess the diagnostic value of visual findings in the diagnosis of endometriosis from the histological point of view. STUDY DESIGN: 212 specimens from 107 patients with benign (74.8%) or malignant (25.2%) disease were obtained…
Endometriosis is often associated with infertility, which might be a consequence of intraperitoneal macrophage activation and various immunological events related to it. To determine what triggers macrophage activation and what immunologic …
Histologic study of endometriosis and investigation of lymphatic drainage in and out of the uterus were conducted to obtain more information on the histogenesis of endometriosis. Endometriosis is a disease originating from the normal endome…
