The anticancer potential of thrombospondin-1 by inhibiting angiogenesis and stroma reaction during cervical carcinogenesis
Publication date: Available online 26 September 2015 Source:Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy Author(s): Ming-Ping Wu, Li-Wha Wu, Cheng-Yang Chou Tumor growth is angiogenesis dependent. Angiogenic switch (the acquisition of an angiogenic phenotype) is essential for cervical carcinogenesis. Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) is an endogenous angiogenic inhibitor with multiple functional domains and interacting receptors. The disruption of TSP-1 fence (the expression in basal epithelia) occurred concordantly during the transition from low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion into high-grade squamous intraepithelial ...

Publication date: November 2015 Source:Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy, Volume 4, Issue 4 Author(s): Angelito Magno, Hsin-Hong Guo, Chyi-Long Lee Myomectomy remains the standard surgical treatment for women with uterine myoma, who wish to preserve their fertility. However, it is often associated with increased blood loss and adhesion formation. Laparoscopic myomectomy has multiple advantages over open myomectomy 1 . A newer approach, laparoendoscopic single-site surgery, also known as LESS, has been developed and applied in gynecologic field. 2 This is a case of a 41-year-old G2P1 patient, with the com...

A case of severe uterine arteriovenous malformation treated with danazol followed by a transarterial embolization of unilateral uterine and ovarian arteries
We present a case of severe uterine AVM treated with danazol and transarterial embolization (TAE). A 38-year-old patient with a history of two abortions and a myomectomy was referred to our hospital for intermittent massive uterine bleeding. She was diagnosed with uterine AVM by transvaginal color Doppler ultrasonography and helical computed tomography (CT). Diagnostic three-dimensional CT (3D-CT) angiography clearly demonstrated hypervascular tangles of uterine vessels, feeding arteries, remarkably dilated draining veins, as well as early filling of the internal iliac vein and the inferior vena cava, indicating massive ar...

Spontaneous pregnancy after pessary placement in a patient with infertility and advanced pelvic organ prolapse
We report herein a 38-year-old para 1, non-overweight woman who presented with secondary infertility without any factors for infertility except for an advanced POP. She had intrauterine insemination (IUI) performed twice at a local clinic and in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) program twice in our institute unsuccessfully. She conceived spontaneously after vaginal pessary placement and delivered, vaginally, a healthy female baby weighing 3,365 g at the 38th week of gestation. Advanced POP appears to be an important risk factor for infertility. After completing an infertility workup, pessary application can be ...
