Comparison of cervical cytological screening results between postmenopausal and elderly women.

Objective: There is insufficient data on geriatric period cervical cytology screening in our country. The aim of this study was to compare the cervical cytological results among elderly women and women aged between 45-64 years.

Material And Method: A comparison of cervical cytological results of 273 women aged over 65 years and 388 women aged between 45-64 years from January 2010 to June 2013 was performed for presence of cytological abnormalities.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma agonist rosiglitazone reduces the size of experimental endometriosis in the rat model.

Background: The effect of rosiglitazone, an activator of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma, on the growth of ectopic uterine tissue was assessed.

Methods: Endometriosis was surgically induced in 28 rats by transplanting an autologous fragment of endometrial tissue onto the inner surface of the abdominal wall. Four weeks later, rats were randomly grouped and a second laparatomy was performed.

Effect of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma agonist rosiglitazone on the induction of endometriosis in an experimental rat model.

Objective: To assess the effect of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-gamma agonist rosiglitazone on the induction of endometriosis in a rat model.

Methods: Endometriosis was surgically induced in 28 rats by transplanting an autologous fragment of endometrial tissue onto the inner surface of the abdominal wall. Group I was assigned as control and no medication was administered.
