We experienced two cases of low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMNs) that were difficult to distinguish from right ovarian and fallopian tube tumors.
PURPOSE: We performed TaqMan genotyping assays of anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) and anti-Mullerian hormone receptor type II (AMHRII) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in order to investigate how their frequency and distribution affect i…
PURPOSE: Examination of the mitochondrial mRNA expression in granulosa cells from an unspecified population of infertile patients to evaluate whether recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (recFSH) is more effective in producing higher qu…
Background Endometriosis is one of the most common gynecological diseases associated with infertility. Endometriosis may affect the androgen receptor (AR) mRNA expression in human granulosa cells and the methylation of the promoter region o…
Introduction: In an attempt to reduce pain and improve cosmetic outcome in laparoscopic surgery, there has been a recent drive to reduce port sizes (mini-laparoscopic surgery: MLS) or port number (single-site laparoscopic surgery). We evalu…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate how endometriosis affects the expression of estrogen and progesterone receptors mRNA in granulosa cells. DESIGN: Prospective study. SETTING: IVF-ET program at Osaka Medical College. PATIENT(S): Eighteen patients wi…
