In cases of extragenital endometriosis or microscopic endometriosis lesions, pathological diagnosis can be challenging because endometriotic stroma and glands represent only a minor component of fibrotic endometriotic lesions. For better ac…
Background: Relaxin (RLX)-2, produced by the corpus luteum and placenta, is known to be potentially effective in fibrotic diseases of the heart, lungs, kidneys, and bladder; however, its effectiveness in endometriosis has not yet been inves…
ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of three dose levels of relugolix, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor antagonist, compared with placebo and leuprorelin in women with endometriosis-associated pain.DesignPhase 2, multicent…
ObjectivesTo evaluate the anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenetic effects of Tokishakuyakusan (TSS), a traditional Japanese medicine (Kampo), and its ingredients, ferulic acid (FA) and paeoniflorin (PA) on endometriotic stromal cells (ESC) …
Previous studies have suggested that histone methylation can modulate carcinogenesis and cancer progression. For instance, the histone methyltransferase SET and MYND domain containing 2 (SMYD2) is overexpressed in several types of cancer ti…
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…
Study objectiveTo identify the clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, operative or medical management, and postoperative recurrence of umbilical endometriosis.DesignA retrospective national survey.SettingObstetrics and Gynecology and…
This study aimed to evaluate the attitudes of male and female members of the public toward uterus transplantation (UTx), surrogacy, and adoption in Japan via a web-based survey. One thousand six hundred participants were recruited with equa…
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…
We aimed to examine how leuprorelin has been studied for the treatment of women with endometriosis in Asia. We conducted a literature search of PubMed, the Cochrane Library and ClinicalTrials.gov. This review includes randomised trials of w…
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 …
Desmoid tumors, which are often estrogen-dependent, frequently develop in surgical wounds. Here we report the case of 33-year-old woman with a 4-cm solid mass detected in her left adnexal area. She had previously undergone a laparoscopic su…
STUDY QUESTION: Does the GnRH antagonist, ASP1707, reduce endometriosis-associated pelvic pain? SUMMARY ANSWER: ASP1707 significantly reduced endometriosis-associated pelvic pain in a dose-related manner. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: GnRH agonist…
CONTEXT: The ovarian reserve is reduced in patients with endometriosis. We hypothesize that the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) Akt-Forkhead box O (Foxo3) pathway is involv…
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…
Laparoscopic port site endometriosis is less common in abdominal wall endometriosis, and malignant transformation of abdominal wall endometriosis is rare. We reported a case of mixed endometrioid and clear cell carcinoma arising from port s…
In cases of extragenital endometriosis or microscopic endometriosis lesions, pathological diagnosis can be challenging because endometriotic stroma and glands represent only a minor component of fibrotic endometriotic lesions. For better ac…
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…
ObjectsThere is growing evidence that sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is involved in inflammatory diseases. As endometriosis is known as an inflammatory disease, we investigated the role of S1P system in the development of endometriosis.Metho…
BackgroundWolf-Hirschhorn syndrome candidate gene-1 (WHSC1), a histone methyltransferase, has been found to be upregulated and its expression to be correlated with expression of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) in several cancers. In this…
Uterine adenomyosis is a benign disorder that often co-occurs with endometriosis and/or leiomyoma, and impairs quality of life. The genomic features of adenomyosis are unknown. Here we apply next-generation sequencing to adenomyosis (70 ind…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: This study aims to assess the cost-effectiveness of early physician consultation and guideline-based intervention to prevent endometriosis and/or disease progression using oral contraceptive (OC) and progestin comp…
ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to clarify the expression of Ninj1 in endometriosis and adenomyosis lesions, and its inductive factor in human endometriotic stromal cells (ESCs).BackgroundNerve injury-induced protein 1 (Ninj1) is a molec…
Endometriosis is characterized by the implantation and growth of endometriotic tissues outside the uterus. It is widely accepted the theory that endometriosis is caused by the implantation of endometrial tissue from retrograde menstruation;…
