    Abstract Diagnosing ground-glass opacity (GGO) pulmonary lesions poses challenges. This study evaluates the utility of radial probe endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial lung biopsy (RP-EBUS-TBLB) in diagnosing GGO pulmonary lesions. A total of 1651 RP-EBUS procedures were performed during the study period. This study analyzed 115 GGO lesions. The EBUS visualization yield was 80.1%. Of 115 lesions, 69 (60%) were successfully diagnosed. The average size of diagnosed lesions was significantly larger than that of undiagnosed lesions (21.9 ± 7.3 vs. 17.1 ± 6.6 mm,

    Abstract Background: Several studies have shown that coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) can rescue ovarian aging and that ovarian surface epithelium (OSE)-derived ovarian stem cells (OSCs) are useful for treating infertility due to ovarian aging. However, few studies have examined the effect of CoQ10 on OSCs. This study was aimed to investigate whether CoQ10 activates OSCs and recovers ovarian function in a 4-vinylcyclohexene diepoxide (VCD)-induced mouse model of ovarian failure.
    Methods: Forty female C57BL/6 mice aged 6 weeks were randomly divided into four groups (n = 10/group): a control group administered saline orally, a CoQ10 group administered 150 mg/kg/day of CoQ10 orally in 1 mL of saline daily for 14 days, a VCD group administered 160 mg/kg/day of VCD i.p. in 2.5 mL of saline/kg for 5 days, and a VCD + CoQ10 group administered VCD i.p. for 5 days injection and CoQ10 (150 mg/kg/day) orally for 14 days. After treatment, follicle counts were evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, and ovarian mRNA expressions of Bmp-15, Gdf-9, and c-Kit were examined by quantitative real-time PCR. Serum FSH, AMH, and ROS levels were also measured. Oocyte-like structure counts and the expressions of Oct-4 and MVH were also evaluated after culturing OSE for 3 weeks. In a second experiment, 32 female mice were administered CoQ10 as described above, induced to superovulate using PMSG and hCG, and mated. Numbers of zygotes and embryo development rate were examined.
    Results: Postcultured OSE showed significant increases in the numbers of oocyte-like structure and that the expression of Oct-4 and MVH were higher in the VCD + CoQ10 group than in the VCD group (p < 0.05). Numbers of surviving follicles from primordial to antral follicles, numbers of zygotes retrieved and embryo development rate to blastocyst were significantly greater in the VCD + CoQ10 group than in the VCD group (p < 0.01). Serum AMH level and ovarian expressions of Bmp-15, Gdf-9 and c-Kit were also significantly greater in the VCD + CoQ10 group than in the VCD group (p < 0.05). In contrast, serum ROS level was significantly lower in the VCD + CoQ10 group than in the VCD group (p < 0.05).
    Conclusion: This study shows that CoQ10 stimulates the differentiation of OSE-derived OSCs and confirms that CoQ10 can reduce ROS levels and improve ovarian function and oocyte quality in mice with VCD-induced ovarian failure.

    Abstract Purpose: To assess the effectiveness and safety of uterine artery embolization (UAE) using progressively larger calibrated gelatin sponge particles for symptomatic uterine fibroids.
    Material and methods: Thirty patients with symptomatic uterine fibroids underwent UAE. Calibrated gelatin sponge particles were used in all patients, beginning with 355-500 μm particles, progressively increasing to 500-710 μm and finally to 710-1000 μm particles. Changes in tumor, uterine volume, and tumor infarction rate were assessed using pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The level of complication, improvement of clinical symptoms, and Uterine Fibroid Symptom and Quality of Life (UFS-QOL) score were assessed.
    Results: MR imaging revealed the mean largest tumor volume reduction was 56.23 ± 16.25% at three months and 72.61 ± 14.47% at 12 months after the procedure. 100% infarction of the dominant fibroids was 91.27 ± 5.02% at three months and 96 ± 5.20% at 12 months after the procedure. Menorrhagia improved markedly in all 23 patients. Bulk-related symptoms improved in 12 (92.30%) of 13 patients. The baseline UFS-QOL score was 43.13 and improved to 11.88 (p < 0.001). No major complications were observed.
    Conclusion: UAE using progressively larger calibrated gelatin sponge particles is an effective and safe treatment for symptomatic uterine fibroids.

    Abstract The activation of dormant primordial follicles and ovarian angiogenesis has been attempted as a new treatment strategy for age-related ovarian aging. This study examined whether visfatin rescues age-related fertility decline in female mice aged 18 months, and whether this effect relates to the mTOR/PI3K signaling pathways for activation of primordial follicles and ovarian angiogenesis. Female mice were intraperitoneally injected with 0.1 ml of 500 ng/ml or 1000 ng/ml of visfatin three times at intervals of 2 days, and both ovaries were provided for H&E staining. In another experiment, the mice were superovulated with pregnant mare's serum gonadotropin and human chorionic gonadotropin, and were mated with males. After 18 h, zygotes were collected and cultured for 4 days, and numbers and embryo developmental competency of zygotes retrieved were evaluated. The expression of mTOR/PI3K signaling pathway regulated genes (4EBP1, S6K1, and RPS6) and angiogenic factors (VEGF, visfatin, and SDF-1α) in the ovary were examined. As well, visfatin-treated mice were mated with male mice for 2 weeks, and the pregnancy outcome was monitored up to 3 weeks. Visfatin significantly increased the total numbers of follicles compared with control. Numbers of zygotes retrieved, blastocyst formation rate, and pregnancy rate were significantly increased at 500 ng/ml of visfatin (2.83%, 40.0%, and 80%, respectively) compared with control (0, 0, and no pregnancy). Ovarian expressions of S6K1, RPS6, VEGF, visfatin, and SDF-1α were significantly stimulated at 500 ng/ml of visfatin. These results show that visfatin treatment of an optimal dose rescues age-related decline in fertility, possibly by stimulating mTOR/PI3K signaling.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the effects of UAE for symptomatic uterine fibroids on ovarian reserve based on AMH.
    Study design: This was a retrospective study conducted between March 2011 and October 2014. All women underwent UAE. At baseline and at the 3-month and 12-month follow-up visits, serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and estradiol (E2) levels were assessed, and ovarian volume and antral follicle count (AFC) were evaluated in each patient.
    Results: There were no statistically significant differences in serum E2, LH, or FSH levels or in ovarian volume 3 or 12 months after UAE (P=0.8194, P=0.3976, P=0.4766, and P=0.6822, respectively). However, AMH and AFC were significantly different 3 and 12 months after the procedure (P=0.00, P=0.029 and P=0.00, P=0.00, respectively). AMH levels remained low after 12 months of follow-up compared to the expected AMH levels. A statistically significant recovery of serum AMH at 12 months compared to at 3 months in those <40 years of age (P=0.00), but not in those ≥40 years (P=0.837).
    Conclusions: Ovarian reserve appears to be affected by UAE in premenopausal women. However, younger ovaries (according to biological ovarian age) exhibit a greater capacity for recovery after ovarian damage. Therefore, larger studies are needed for more conclusive results.

    Abstract Aim: This study was aimed to understand expressions of the visfatin, leptin, stromal cell derived factor (SDF)-1α, endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in human uterine leiomyomas (UL) and normal myometrium.
    Method: This study investigated expression of visfatin, leptin, SDF-1α, eNOS and VEGF in 23 uterine leiomyoma patients and 10 normal myometrium by RT-PCR and western blot. Messenger RNA transcripts of SDF-1α, eNOS, VEGF and hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) were analyzed according to the size of UL by real-time PCR.
    Results: There were no significant differences in expressions of visfatin and leptin between UL compared with normal myometrium. However, expressions of eNOS, SDF-1α and VEGF were significantly higher in both intramural and subserosal UL compared with normal myometrium. The expression of SDF1-α was significantly increased in small UL (<5 cm) compared to the large UL (≥5 cm), whereas the expressions of eNOS, VEGF and HIF-1α were higher in large UL than small UL.
    Conclusions: This study shows that expression of SDF-1α, eNOS and VEGF were significantly higher in UL than myometrium with a different expression pattern according to the size of UL. However, expressions of visfatin and leptin had no significant differences between the two groups.

    Abstract Objective: This study conducted a preliminary examination of the effects of three-area laser-assisted zona thinning (LAZT) during the cleavage stage of embryo development on the hatching process in human
    Methods: Eight-cell stage embryos were treated with LAZT in three areas of the zona pellucida at 120° intervals. The control group was embryos without LAZT. Of the 72 consecutive fresh cycles and the 28 FT embryo transfer cycles, the patients in 55 fresh cycles and 17 FT cycles declined LAZT, and those cycles were defined as the control group.
    Results: In the fresh cycles, the pregnancy rates were similar in the LAZT and control groups. However, in the FT cycles, the pregnancy rate was significantly higher in the LAZT group than in the control group (45.5% in the LAZT group vs. 23.5% in the control group,
    Conclusion: These results show that multi-area LAZT resulted in significantly improved pregnancy outcomes in human 8-cell embryos compared to controls.

    Abstract Impact statement: Ovarian aging is becoming a more important issue in terms of fertility preservation and infertility treatment. Serum anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) level and antral follicle count (AFC) are being practically used as markers of ovarian aging as well as ovarian reserve in human. However, these factors have some drawbacks in assessing ovarian aging and reserve. Therefore, the identification of ovarian expressions of BMP15, GDF9, and C-KIT according to female could be applied as a potent predictor of ovarian aging. This work provides new information on the development of diagnosis and treatment strategy of age-related fertility decline and premature ovarian insufficiency.

    Abstract Purpose: To compare clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) outcomes after uterine artery embolization (UAE) with non spherical polyvinyl alcohol (nPVA) versus gelatin sponge particles.
    Material and methods: During ten months, from Jan 2011 to Oct 2011, 60 patients underwent UAE in a standardized manner. nPVA (n = 30) or gelatin sponge particles (n = 30) were used in all patients. Pelvic MRI and clinical symptoms were reviewed before and after the procedure. Changes in tumor, uterine volume and infarction rate of dominant tumor were assessed using MRI.
    Result: At three months after embolization, the outcome data were collected. The improvement of the mean bleeding score was more pronounced with gelatin sponge particles than with nPVA particles (p = 0.035). The mean volume reduction rate and infarction rate of dominant fibroid were 47.9 ± 20.8%, 97.7 ± 5.2% and 60.2 ± 18.1, 96 ± 7.0% after UAE with nPVA compared to gelatin sponge particles, respectively.
    Conclusion: This study showed the superiority of gelatin sponge particles over nPVA in terms of improvement of mean bleeding score and volume reduction rate of dominant fibroid at three months follow-up after UAE, although the infarction rate of dominant fibroid was similar across groups at three months.
