Adenomyosis is a benign uterine disease that causes dysmenorrhea, heavy menstrual bleeding, and infertility; however, its pathophysiology remains unclear. Since signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is crucial for endom…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the phosphorylation of estrogen receptor α at serine-118 (phospho-ERα S118) in the endometrium, ovarian endometrioma, and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). DESIGN: Experimental study. SETTING: University-affili…
The purpose of this study was to establish a novel mouse model of adenomyosis suitable for longitudinal and quantitative analyses and perinatal outcome studies. Using a 30 G needle, the entire uterine wall of one horn was mechanically punct…
The purpose of this study was to establish a new mouse model of endometriosis that mimics real-world women's health problems, in which women continue to be affected by endometriosis long before they wish to become pregnant, and to evaluate …
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the course of long-term conservative management of bladder endometriosis (BE). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 17 cases of BE conservatively managed without surgery in our facilit…
Dienogest (DNG) is widely used to treat dysmenorrhea associated with estrogen-dependent diseases such as endometriosis and adenomyosis. DNG becomes unnecessary after menopause when estrogen secretion declines drastically. However, there are…
In endometriosis, M2 MΦs are dominant in endometriotic lesions, but the actual role of M2 MΦ is unclear. CD206 positive (+) MΦ is classified in one of M2 type MΦs and are known to produce cytokines and chemokines. In the present study, we u…
Objective: Long-term administration of dienogest, which is known to have effect on bone mineral density, is frequently done in patients with endometriosis and adenomyosis, but a few studies focused on the bone mineral density changes after …
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to determine the systemic and local proportions, focal localization, and characteristics of polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSCs) in endometriosis. STUDY DESIGN: Peripheral blood and pe…
We present a case of hemorrhagic shock occurred during dienogest therapy for uterine adenomyosis which necessitated an emergency hysterectomy. The patient was a 45-year-old woman with adenomyosis. Magnetic resonance imaging showed type I ad…
The uterus plays an important and unique role during pregnancy and is a dynamic organ subjected to mechanical stimuli. It has been reported that infertility occurs when the peristalsis is prevented, although its mechanisms remain unknown. I…
Administration of Dienogest prior to hysteroscopic polypectomy is empirically performed, but the physiological effects of Dienogest on endometrial polyps are unclear. We aimed to investigate the effects of Dienogest on the proliferation and…
When the presence of endometriotic lesions are not evident by hematoxylin and eosin staining, CD10 is used to highlight and confirm the presence of endometriotic stroma. However, CD10 is not specific only to the endometrial stroma but is al…
Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease, which causes chronic pelvic pain and infertility in women of reproductive age. Due to limited efficacy of current treatment options, a critical need exists to develop new and effective treatm…
Non-hormonal therapeutic strategies for endometriosis are needed. The aim of this study was to characterize the effects of prostaglandin (PG)E2 receptor inhibitors to explore their potential as novel therapeutic strategies for endometriosis…
Endometriosis exerts detrimental effects on ovarian physiology and compromises follicular health. Granulosa cells from patients with endometriosis are characterized by increased apoptosis, as well as high oxidative stress. Endoplasmic retic…
AIM: This study aimed to describe the clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and operative or medical management of inguinal endometriosis. METHODS: In this study, we retrospectively reviewed 20 cases of inguinal endometriosis in our…
BACKGROUND: The recurrence rate after unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (USO) for unilateral endometrioma has not been reported. We evaluated the rate of and risk factors for endometrioma recurrence after USO. METHODS: In this retrospective …
