INTRODUCTION: Although endometriosis is a benign disease, it shares some features with cancers, such as invasiveness and the potential to metastasize. This study sought to investigate the epithelial-mesenchymal transition status in human en…
Nerve growth factor (NGF) has been recently proposed as one of the key factors responsible not only for promotion of nerve fiber growth but also for the onset and maintenance of pain in a variety of diseases. The aim of this study was to in…
Proposed hypothetical causes of endometriosis include retrograde menstruation, lymphatic and vascular metastasis, iatrogenic direct implantation, coelomic metaplasia, embryonic rest, and mesenchymal cell differentiation (induction). Each th…
Human uterine endometrium has unique properties to regenerate and remodel cyclically throughout the woman's reproductive life and also gives rise to endometriosis through ectopic implantation of retrograde shedding including endometrial cel…
We present a case of a 19 year-old woman with endometriosis treated by laparoscopy 6 years after a liver transplant. This case had a high risk of visceral injury during trocar insertion. We used cine MRI for evaluation of intra-abdominal ad…
The human uterus mainly consists of the endometrium and the outer smooth muscle layer termed the myometrium. The uterus harbours the exceptional and remarkable regenerative ability responsible for cyclical regeneration and remodelling throu…
BACKGROUND: The human endometrium undergoes cyclical regeneration throughout a woman's reproductive life. Ectopic implantation of endometrial cells through retrograde menstruation gives rise to endometriotic lesions which affect approximate…
A cross-sectional comparative study among women who underwent surgical treatment for endometriosis revealed that frequency of the Ala/Ala genotype at aryl hydrocarbon receptor repressor (AHRR) Pro185Ala polymorphism was three times higher (…
The human endometrium undergoes cyclical changes including proliferation, differentiation, tissue breakdown, and shedding (menstruation) throughout a woman's reproductive life. The postovulatory rise in ovarian progesterone induces profound…
Human uterine endometrium exhibits unique properties of cyclical regeneration and remodeling throughout reproductive life and also is subject to endometriosis through ectopic implantation of retrogradely shed endometrial fragments during me…
PurposeColor Doppler imaging permits the accurate localization of vessels and high-frequency pulsed Doppler ultrasonography has improved the resolution of flow velocity waveforms. In this study, intraovarian arterial blood flow before and a…
Acetylation of histones is cooperatively regulated by two groups of enzymes, histone acetyltransferases and histone deacetylases. Histone acetylation status plays a fundamental role in the level of gene transcription; numerous studies have …
Reversible protein tyrosine phosphorylation, coordinately controlled by protein tyrosine kinases and phosphatases, is a critical element in signal transduction pathways regulating a wide variety of biological processes, including cell growt…
PurposeTo determine whether there is any association between the expression of endometrial integrin alphavbeta3 and repeated IVF-ET failure and to examine the effect of danazol treatment on alphavbeta3 expression.MethodsThis prospective stu…
OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of danazol on in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) patients who failed to conceive in previous attempts despite having embryos with optimal morphology, whether endometriosis is present or not. S…
ObjectiveTo evaluate the diagnostic value of the crushed glass appearance of particles observed on roentgenogram after hysterosalpingography in patients with pelvic abnormalities.DesignRetrospective study of 32 patients whose roentgenogram …
