Endometrial polyps with increased plasma cells are associated with chronic endometritis in infertility patients: Hysteroscopic findings and post-polypectomy pregnancy rates.

Purpose: The relationship between endometrial polyps (EPs), chronic endometritis (CE), hysteroscopic findings, and antimicrobial in infertility patients was determined.

Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 115 infertility patients with suspected EPs who underwent office hysteroscopy. Patients were divided into 3 groups: 38 with increased plasma cells in EPs (group 1); 31 without increased plasma cells in EPs (group 2); and 46 without EPs (group 3).

A lower serum level of middle-molecular-weight adiponectin is a risk factor for endometrial cancer.

Background: The present study was undertaken to examine the correlation between serum levels of adiponectin isoforms and the risk for endometrial cancer.

Methods: This retrospective case-control study included 43 Japanese women with endometrial cancer and 62 Japanese women with no history of cancer. Serum levels of total adiponectin and the respective isoforms were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
