clearly defined. They spring from a connective-tissue basis, and may therefore be found in all parts of the body where areolar tissue, bone, cartilage, skin, mucous membrane, and the cognate textures exist. In structure they have an affinity with the tissues from which they take origin, consisting of cells, and an intercellular substance freely traversed by bloodvessels. But they differ from th...

The aim of the present study was to determine the optimal dose and optimal target volume for marginal zone lymphoma of the ocular adnexa. Between January, 2008 and December, 2013, 40 patients with histologically proven primary marginal zone lymphoma of the ocular adnexa who underwent radiotherapy at the Tokyo Medical University were evaluated. The prescribed dose was 30 Gy in 15 fractions to th...

Diagnosis of adnexal torsion can be difficult, especially during pregnancy. Delay in diagnosis can lead to necrosis and loss of the affected ovary compromising the reproductive capacity, especially in young women. A 22-year-old primigravida presented to the emergency room at 10 weeks of gestation with acute onset left iliac fossa pain. Ultrasound examination showed a live intra-uterine gestatio...

BACKGROUND Adenomyosis is a proliferative uterine dysfunction with unknown aetiology. One possible mechanism of its development involves disturbances in stem cell differentiation in uterine tissue. Previously, we identified pluripotent/multipotent cells in the bovine uterus, therefore our present study focused on determining expression of pluripotency markers, NANOG, OCT4 and SOX2, in bovine ad...

Uterine leiomyomas are the most prevalent benign tumor type in women of reproductive age and are one of the most common indications for hysterectomy. The expression of five angiogenic factors, adrenomedullin (ADM), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), acidic fibroblast growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor, and platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor/thymidine phosphorylas...

OBJECTIVE: To establish an experimental model of extracorporeally perfused non-pregnant swine uteri for the study of uterine contractility, peristalsis and transport mechanisms through the female genital tract using an intrauterine double-chip microcatheter. In order to validate the model described biochemical parameters were assessed during the whole perfusion time. METHODS: An extracorporeal ...
