BACKGROUND Serum CA-125 has been used as a biomarker of gynecological tumors. In this study, we investigated the CA-125 levels in cervical and vaginal secretions from Chinese patients with endometrial polyps, hyperplasia and carcinoma in comparison with those in endometrium and serum. MATERIAL/METHODS An electro-chemiluminescent immunoassay was utilized to determine the levels of CA-125 in 51...

Endometrial curettings from 458 patients presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding were studied. This included 220 (48%) patients with metrorrhagia, 187 (41%) with menorrhagia, 30 (6%) with postmenopausal bleeding, 13 (3%) with intermenstrual bleeding and 8 (1.74%) with polymenorrhagia. The histological findings were correlated with the pattern of abnormal bleeding in five different age groups....

ATP-dependent glucokinase is suggested to have evolved from a hypothetical polyphosphate (polyP)-dependent glucokinase (polyP-GK) via a bifunctional polyP/ATP glucokinase (polyP/ATP-GK). Here we showed that polyP-GK is present in a polyP-accumulating bacterium, Microlunatus phosphovorus. The polyP-GK produced glucose-6-P(i) from glucose and polyP, but it could not phosphorylate glucose with ATP...

Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) is a rare malignant tumor of the endometrium, occurring in the age group of 40-50 years. We report a case of low-grade ESS in a 39-year-old woman, presenting as rapid enlargement of a uterine fibroid polyp associated with irregular and excessive vaginal bleeding. Polypectomy followed by pan hysterectomy was performed. Histopathological examination and immunohis...

the pathogenetic mechanism of nasal polyps remains unknown, although allergy has been cited as an important factor in the etiology of nasal polyposis. currently there is no definite histological criterion for differentiation of allergic from inflammatory nasal polyp. however, in a few studies, tissue eosinophil count has been used for this. this study aimed to find out the agreement rate of ski...

Introduction: Endometrial and cervical polyps are common causes of abnormal uterine bleeding in females in different age groups. These polyps may range in pathology from simple endometrial hyperplasia to endometrial carcinoma which affects patient management. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of transvaginal ultrasonography and colour Doppler (TVUS) in the diagnosis and ...

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is one of the most common clinical problems in gynecology. Transvaginal sonography (TVS) and hysteroscopy are two diagnostic methods for patients with AUB. For most of the patients with AUB, diagnostic hysteroscopy can be done in clinic with minimal discomfort and much lower expense than operative room. Materials and Methods: In our clinical trial stu...
