IntroductionRobotic surgery is being rapidly implemented globally, and new robotic surgery techniques are being developed. The da Vinci SP surgical system, a new robotic surgery system using a single-port approach, was introduced for the fi…

To study the pathological contribution of fatty acid (FA) metabolism regulators including fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4), FABP5, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα), and PPARγ in ovarian carcinoma, non-cancerous h…

We report a case where a spontaneous pregnancy and delivery of a live baby were achieved after laparoscopic repair combined with hysteroscopy of the cesarean section scar secondary to treatment for a prior cesarian section scar pregnancy. […

The female reproductive tract (FRT) and remote/versatile organs in the body share bidirectional communication. In this review, we discuss the framework of the "FRT-organ axes." Each axis, namely, the vagina-gut axis, uterus-gut axis, ovary-…

Transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) is a pleiotropic growth factor playing various roles in the human body including cell growth and development. More functions of TGF-β1 have been discovered, especially its roles in viral infection.…

Murine monoclonal antibody CF511, raised against human ovarian clear cell carcinoma, detects a glycoprotein (Mr 600 kDa) called CF511 antigen which is elevated in the serum of many patients with ovarian carcinoma. A competitive enzyme-linke…

A 44-year-old female had sudden cough during menstruation. She visited a clinic and mild right pneumothorax was pointed out on chest X-ray. She was admitted to our hospital for continuous pneumothorax and tube drainage was performed. Althou…

The murine monoclonal antibody (Mab) against human common epithelial ovarian carcinoma, CF511, was generated by immunising mice with human fetal tissue extract from early first trimester, followed by booster injection of an ovarian cancer c…
