Intrauterine devices (IUDs) provide highly effective, long-term, safe, reversible contraception, and are the most widely used reversible contraceptive method worldwide. The levonorgestrel-releasing IUD (LNG-IUD), originally designed for lon…

BACKGROUND: Because of its low incidence, medical treatment of has not yet been well established although surgical excision is generally considered effective. We report the first case of primary bladder endometriosis successfully managed wi…

Angiogenesis contributes to the growth and secondary spreading of solid tumours. Platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor (PD-ECGF) is identified as such an angiogenic factor. In the present study, the prognosis of the patients with …

Steroid hormones, e.g. progesterone and oestradiol, may be responsible for the production and expression of a variety of angiogenic growth factors present in endometrial tissue. The expression of platelet-derived endothelial cell growth fac…

Expression of estrogen receptor exon 5 splicing variant (ER-E5SV) mRNA contributes to dominant positive properties and metastatic potential of gynecological cancers. Therefore, in endometriotic endometria, which conserve implantation and tu…

The migration potential through a basement membrane in an endometrial cancer cell line, such as Ishikawa, HEC-1-A or HHUA cell, in terms of strength, was enhanced by estradiol, but not modified by progesterone, medroxyprogesterone acetate (…

To establish the mechanism of development of ovarian endometriosis from the biological function of the adherens junction, we have investigated the expression of E-cadherin, alpha- and beta-catenin mRNAs in ovarian endometriosis in compariso…

The first step of invasion and metastasis is the detachment of cancer cells in the primary tumor, which is mainly controlled by the function in the adherens junction, consisting of E-cadherin associated proteins (E-cadherin, alpha- and beta…

1. Administration of danazol for over one month reduced the levels of estrogen receptor (ER) and its mRNA to approximately 50 and 20%, respectively in monocytes. 2. Danazol did not alter the degradation rate of ER mRNA in monocytes. 3. Dana…

In rabbit uterus, the presence of separate specific binding sites for not only estradiol but also estriol has been proposed. These sites may be correlated with an antiestradiol effect. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the e…

In monocytes at the secretory (oestrogen-progesterone dominant) phase of the menstrual cycle, expression of c-fms and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) receptor and activity of tyrosine kinase (TK) were increased by oestradiol wi…

Recently, much evidence has indicated that sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) play a role in the intracellular action of sex steroids in target cells. In the present work, expression of SHBG mRNA a…
