Adenomyosis is an ectopic localization of endometrial tissue (glands and stroma) and autonomous development in the thickness of the uterine muscle. The prevalence of adenomyosis ranges from 5 and 70% [1] after hysterectomy according to the surgical indication [2], whatever them indications. Transvaginal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging exam (MRI) have currently an important place in th...

CA 125 Adenomyosis Immunohistochemistry Abstract To investigate the histogenic and cytogenic localization of CA 125 in patients with adenomyosis, sections from 8 adenomyosis cases were expressed with monoclonal anti-CA 125 antibodies. Consequently, CA 125 proved to be present on the glandular epithelium localized in muscle layers of adenomyosis. S. Kijima, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecolog...

UNLABELLED We evaluated the use of radiolabeled 4-iodo-L-meta-tyrosine as an amino acid transport marker. The pharmacologic features of this compound, particularly the biodistribution and excretion, were examined by conducting in vivo and in vitro studies using 4-(125)I-iodo-L-meta-tyrosine (4-(125)I-mTyr). Results obtained for L-(14)C-Tyr and 3-(125)I-iodo-alpha-methyl-L-tyrosine ((125)I-IMT) ...
