    Molecular biomarkers for uterine leiomyosarcoma and endometrial stromal sarcoma.
    Cancer Sci 2018 Apr 16. Epub 2018 Apr 16.
    Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medical Sciences, University of Fukui, Fukui, Japan.
    Uterine leiomyosarcoma (u{\hyphen}LMS) and endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) are among the most frequent soft tissue sarcomas, which, in adults, lead to fatal lung metastases and have an extremely poor prognosis. Due to their rarity and heterogeneity, there are no suitable biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis, though some biomarker candidates have appeared. Recently, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) projects dealing with u{\hyphen}LMS confirmed mutations and deletions in RB1, TP53, and PTEN. Read More

    Regulation of Cell Cycle Regulatory Proteins by MicroRNAs in Uterine Leiomyoma.
    Reprod Sci 2018 Jan 1:1933719118768692. Epub 2018 Jan 1.
    1 Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center and LA-Biomed Research Institute, Torrance, CA, USA.
    The objective of this study was to determine whether miR-93, miR-29c, and miR-200c, which we previously reported to be downregulated in leiomyomas, target cell cycle regulatory proteins that influence cell proliferation. Based on TargetScan algorithm 3 cell cycle regulatory proteins namely, E2F transcription factor 1 (E2F1), Cyclin D1 (CCND1) and CDK2 which were predicted to be targets of these miRNAs were  further analyzed. In 30 hysterectomy specimens, we found the expression of E2F1 and CCND1 messenger RNA (mRNA) was increased in leiomyoma as compared to matched myometrium, with no significant changes in CDK2 mRNA levels.

    PROGINS Polymorphism of the Progesterone Receptor Gene and the Susceptibility to Uterine Leiomyomas: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
    Genet Test Mol Biomarkers 2018 Apr 9. Epub 2018 Apr 9.
    4 Department of Collective Health, Faculdade de Medicina do ABC, Human Reproduction and Genetics Center , Santo André, Brazil .
    Aims: Steroid hormones play a central role in modulating the growth of uterine leiomyoma, and several studies have suggested that polymorphisms in genes encoding these hormones and their receptors may be risk factors for developing the disease. Progesterone is a potent antagonist of estrogen-induced proliferation in the endometrium, and the PROGINS polymorphisms have been associated with leiomyoma, but the results are inconsistent. In this study, we aimed to investigate the possible associations between the PROGINS polymorphisms and uterine leiomyoma. Read More

    Background: Benign metastasizing leiomyoma (BML) is a rare condition characterized by histologically benign "metastatic" smooth muscle tumors, which can affect women with history of uterine surgery. We report the case of a patient with bone metastases of BML.

    Case Report: A 78-year-old woman who had undergone uterine surgery six years before hospital admission, was diagnosed with large pulmonary and pleural metastases that necessitated surgical removal. Read More

    Size of uterine leiomyoma is a predictor for massive haemorrhage during caesarean delivery.
    Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol 2018 Apr 21;223:60-63. Epub 2018 Feb 21.
    Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, National Defense Medical College, Namiki 3-2, Tokorozawa, Saitama, 359-8513, Japan.
    Background: Uterine leiomyoma is a common benign tumour, and a risk factor for various complications during pregnancy and peripartum period. Peripartum haemorrhage is the most critical complication that can cause maternal death. Although the relationship of leiomyoma and peripartum haemorrhage has been indicated, little is known about the characteristics of leiomyoma as predictors for massive haemorrhage in caesarean delivery.

    European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) Guidelines: MR Imaging of Leiomyomas.
    Eur Radiol 2018 Feb 28. Epub 2018 Feb 28.
    Department of Radiology, Universitätsklinikum Salzburg, PMU; Müllner Hauptstr. 48, A-5020, Salzburg, Austria.
    Objective: The aim of the Female Pelvic Imaging Working Group of the European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) was to develop imaging guidelines for MR work-up in patients with known or suspected uterine leiomyomas.

    Methods: Guidelines for imaging uterine leiomyomas were defined based on a survey distributed to all members of the working group, an expert consensus meeting at European Congress of Radiology (ECR) 2017 and a critical review of the literature.

    Results: The 25 returned questionnaires as well as the expert consensus meeting have shown reasonable homogeneity of practice among institutions. Read More

    Objective: To assess the application of the dynamic-contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging(DCE-MRI)pharmacokinetics models in differential diagnosis of cellular uterine leiomyoma.

    Methods: Sixty four patients with uterine leiomyoma confirmed by surgery and pathology were enrolled in the study between September 2015 and September 2016, including 30 cases of classical leiomyoma, 13 cases of cellular leiomyoma and 21 cases of degenerative leiomyoma. All patients underwent DCE-MRI before surgery. Read More
