BACKGROUND: Ferritin may be elevated as an acute-phase reactant in inflammatory conditions, potentially masking iron deficiency. We aimed to evaluate the frequency of iron deficiency and the diagnostic significance of transferrin saturation…
This dataset contains the anonymized clinical data analyzed in the study titled "Characteristics of transferrin saturation and anemia-related biomarkers in patients with uterine adenomyosis". Abstract:Background: Ferritin may be elevated as…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease wherein isoflavones interact with estrogen receptors. Daidzein-rich isoflavone aglycones (DRIAs) have been shown to inhibit cell proliferation and aromatase activity in vitro and in …
Partial cystectomy is often performed to treat bladder endometriosis. However, there are no reports of bladder rupture more than 10 years after cystectomy. A 55-year-old woman with a history of laparoscopic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy a…
Menstrual blood, containing high iron levels, can undergo retrograde transport into the abdominal cavity. Excess iron causes oxidative stress and inflammation. Iron metabolism is regulated by hepcidin, and serum hepcidin levels are increase…
Objectives: The effects of laparoscopic surgical management in women with stage III/IV endometriosis remain controversial. The standard extent of resection for stage III/IV endometriosis with deep endometriosis to treat endometriosis-associ…
Although nutrient status plays an important role in cell metabolism, its significance in endometriosis is obscure. Herein, we investigated the effects of a low-nutrient microenvironment on endometriosis. Stromal cells (SCs) from ovarian end…
CONTEXT: Progesterone resistance including progesterone receptor (PR) deficiency contributes to the pathophysiology of endometriosis; however, whether the PR expression levels in ovarian endometrioma (OE) correlate with the postoperative re…
Chronic inflammation in endometriosis is associated with increased risk of future cardiovascular disease; however, no studies have investigated the cardiovascular risk of women who have undergone hormonal therapy for endometriosis. We inves…
PROBLEM: Inflammation and immune responses play crucial roles in the development of endometriosis. Although interleukin-9 (IL-9) has a pro-inflammatory function in chronic inflammatory diseases, its function in endometriosis remains unknown…
BACKGROUND: The Vagi-Pipe® is a useful device for performing a total laparoscopic hysterectomy. The conventional model of the Vagi-Pipe® is unable to grasp the uterus during colpotomy for recovery of the resected uterus. However, the modifi…
BACKGROUND: It has been well established that endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease. Although the exact pathogenesis of the disease is still unclear, it is known to be characterized by estrogen-dependent growth and maintenance of t…
STUDY QUESTION: Is a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α)-mediated pathway involved in the development of endometriosis? SUMMARY ANSWER: PGC-1α plays critical roles in inflammation and cell proliferation of e…
Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease that causes various clinical symptoms, such as chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea and infertility, seriously affecting women's health and their quality of life. The symptoms and endometriotic l…
AIM: We aimed to evaluate whether hormonal therapy immediately after postsurgical recurrence of ovarian endometrioma controls disease progression and can be an alternative therapeutic option to avoid multiple repeat surgeries. METHODS: We e…
Malignant transformation of diaphragmatic endometriosis is rare. We present a case of endometrioid carcinoma arising from diaphragmatic endometriosis treated with laparoscopy. A 59-year-old primigravida woman who had undergone abdominal hys…
Context: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with altered immune response to endometrial cells facilitating the implantation and proliferation of ectopic endometrial tissues. Although regulatory T (Treg) cells play a …
AIM: The aim of this study was to elucidate whether the presence of an ovarian endometrioma is associated with impaired vascular flow. We investigated changes in vascular flow on the ipsilateral and contralateral side of the endometrioma, b…
