STUDY QUESTION: What are the characteristics of spontaneous endometriosis in cynomolgus monkeys? SUMMARY ANSWER: Spontaneous endometriosis in cynomolgus monkeys exhibited similar characteristics to the human disease. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY…

BACKGROUND: Because both decidualization and malignant transformation of endometriosis are characterized by mural nodules on the wall of the cyst, the preoperative differential diagnosis is reportedly difficult. CASE: A 31-year-old woman w…

BACKGROUND: Pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase (PyNPase) is identical to the protein, platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor (PD-ECGF), which has angiogenic activity. The physiological roles of PyNPase activity in the uterus and o…

The biological roles of estrogen-responsive finger protein (efp) in vivo were evaluated in mice carrying a loss-of-function mutation in efp by gene-targeted mutagenesis. Although efp homozygous mice were viable and fertile in both sexes, th…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of prednisolone plus low-dose aspirin (PSL/LDA) in women with autoimmune conditions who were enrolled in an IVF-ET program. DESIGN: A retrospective clinical study. SETTING: In vitro fertilization unit, Ni…

To assess bone metabolism during treatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue (GnRHa), serum osteocalcin (BGP), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcitonin (CT), calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) were determine…

To evaluate further the chemopreventive role of motherwort (Leonurus sibiricus L; MW) in lesions of the mammary gland and uterus of GR/A mice, the effects on these lesions of the adsorbed (MW1) and unadsorbed (MW2) fractions of MW separated…

Chronic ingestion of methanol extract of the above-ground part of motherwort (Leonurus sibiricus L) in drinking water at the concentration of 0.5% enhanced the development of both pregnancy-dependent mammary tumours (PDMT) and mammary cance…

In order to evaluate the antitumor effect of oral antitumor agents on gynecological malignant tumors, experimental studies were carried out using nude mice which had received implants of human endometrial carcinoma. The agents used for the …

Ascitic fluid was obtained from a patient with ovarian endometrioid carcinoma. The cells obtained from the fluid were cultured in Eagle's minimum essential medium containing 15% fetal calf serum at 37 degrees C under humidified 5% CO2 and 9…

Ascitic fluid was obtained from the patient of ovarian endometrioid cancer. Collected cells were incubated with Eagle's MEM containing 15% fetal calf serum at 37 degrees C under humidified 5% CO2 and 95% air. The epithelial colonies grew ra…
