Gestrinone (G) was given to 12 females with endometriosis in weekly doses of 5 or 10mg for 4 to 6 months, and the change in serum lipids and lipoproteins was analysed. G decreased total cholesterol by 20% (p less than 0.05), triglycerides b…

A new cell line, designated as HOC-I, was established from a recurrent region of ovarian endometrioid carcinoma. HOC-I was subcultivated more than 55 times. 1) The monolayer culture cells showed a pavement like arrangement with polygonal ce…

1. Regulatory mechanism of cell growth of endometriosis in comparison with endometrium. Estradiol alone has no growth-promoting effect on both endometriotic and endometrial cells. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulates cell growth of both…

CA125 levels in cul-de-sac fluid were measured in patients with endometriosis and patients with myoma uteri in order to investigate the participation of CA125 of endometrial tissue origin in peritoneal fluid levels. The translation of perit…

Six hundred and eighteen endometriosis patients out of 2,966 cases diagnosed with laparoscopy were statistically analyzed. The incidence of pelvic endometriosis was 28.3% of infertile cases, 47.2% of infertile cases of etiology unknown ster…

Recently, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-CT has become available for clinical use. A number of reports have stressed its diagnostic usefulness for gynecologic diseases. In the present report, we studied the clinical usefulness of magnetic…

Luteal function in 44 infertile women with endometriosis were studied with reference to prolactin (PRL) and compared with 34 unexplained infertile women without endometriosis. To assess luteal function, serum progesterone (P4) levels were m…

We measured five tumor markers simultaneously for serodiagnostic testing as a method for the early detection of ovarian cancer. To decrease both false negativity and false positivity in the results of combination assay, statistical analysis…

6-Thioguanine and Neomycin resistant human endometrial carcinoma cells were established from parental HHUA 95 cells in the present study. The karyotype was 46,XX although chromosome abnormalities had been observed occasionally. Cell hybrids…

GnRH agonist and synthetic steroid such as Danazol, Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) and Gestrinone are useful for the treatment of patients with endometriosis. These compounds induce atrophy and regression of endometriotic tissue, but the…

The clinical and hormonal effectiveness of continuous infusion of GnRH-agonist (A) for the treatment of endometriosis was investigated. Five women with endometriosis (stage II-IV) were treated with continuous subcutaneous infusion of 200 mi…

Serum CA72-4 levels were measured by a radioimmunoassay using the murine monoclonal antibody B72.3 in gynecologic disease. The sensitivity and specificity was compared with those of CA125. If the upper limit of normal is set at 3.9U/ml of s…

In order to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ultrasonic oocyte collection for IVF-ET, a comparative study was performed on the results of IVF-ET by the transabdominal and transvaginal methods in 145 cycles of 51 patients. The oocyte…

During the last 13 years, 2,080 infertile patients were subjected to diagnostic laparoscopy. The mean age was 32.3 and their mean infertility period was 6.0 years. Of these, 1,263(60.7%) patients were diagnosed to have endometriosis: 587(46…

Fetal, normal adult, and malignant tissues of the uterine endometrium were examined by immunoperoxidase staining for Lewis antigens. Pronounced expression of Lewis-a, Lewis-b, and Lewis-Y antigens in malignant tissues was observed, compared…

The LHRH agonist buserelin was administered intranasally to eight patients with endometriosis in doses of 300, 600 or 900 micrograms/day for six months. In all patients buserelin clearly suppressed ovulation. In the patients treated with 90…

In forty-six sterile women, endometriosis externa was diagnosed and classified laparoscopically. 21 patients were treated with Gestrinone 5mg-10mg/week and 25 patients were treated with Danazol 300mg-400mg/day for 6 months. The effects of t…

Increased concentrations of serum Sialyl SSEA-1 antigen, which belongs to type 2 chain carbohydrate antigens and is defined by a new monoclonal antibody FH-6, were observed in 47.2% of patients with ovarian cancer. The Sialyl SSEA-1 test ma…

We discussed the mechanism of the increase in CA125 among patients with benign gynecologic diseases, especially with endometriosis. The tissue CA125 concentrations of surface endometrium in patients with adenomyosis were as follows; the hig…

In order to elucidate the origin of elevated serum CA-125 values in patients with endometriosis, CA-125 content in the uterine endometrium, myometrium, leiomyoma, fallopian tube, ovary, adenomyotic tissue and endometriotic tissue, were meas…

Ultrasonically guided transvaginal or transabdominal puncture of an endometrial cyst with a transvaginal or transabdominal sector probe was done safely and correctly. In 7 endometrial cysts in 5 patients, we aspirated the contents, flushed …

To overcome the dose limiting toxicity of cisplatin we administered high-dose (12 mg/kg) cisplatin together with hypertonic (3%) saline to tumor-bearing nude mice three times at four day intervals. The heterotransplanted human ovarian tumor…

Experimental chemotherapy was performed using the human tumor-nude mouse system. The tumors were mucinous cystadenocarcinoma (OVA-1), undifferentiated carcinoma (OVA-2), endometrioid adenocarcinoma (OVA-3), serous cystadenocarcinoma (OVA-4)…

Though the conservative treatment of infertility associated with endometriosis has undergone a significant evolution, clinical diagnostic problems still remain. In order to evaluate the efficacy and diagnostic value of the non-surgical scor…
