The outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF) for endometriotic women are significantly worse than for patients without ovarian endometriosis (OEM), as shown by fewer retrieved oocytes. However, the exact pathophysiological mechanism is stil…

Endometriosis (EMs) is a common gynecological disease whose pathogenesis remains unclear. Immunological factors have been a key hotspot in recent years. Peritoneal fluid samples from women with EMs show defectively activated macrophages (MΦ…

BACKGROUND: The efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided interventional procedures for gynecologic diseases have not been evaluated comprehensively. Therefore, we aimed to provide an evidence-based medical reference for clinical treatment i…

Cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) spreading superficially to the inner surface of the uterus and replacing the endometrial lining cells with carcinoma cells is called superficial spreading SCC. We, hereby report a 53-year postmenopausa…

The pathological expression and function of lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA), a key enzyme that converts pyruvate into lactic acid during glycolysis, remains unknown in endometriosis. In the present study, LDHA expression in tissue samples wa…

Infertility is becoming much more common and affects more couples. The past years witnessed the rapid development of the diagnosis and treatment upon infertility, which give numerous coupled more opportunities become parents. Extracellular …

BackgroundUnresponsive thin endometrium caused by Asherman syndrome (AS) is the major cause of uterine infertility. However, current therapies are ineffective. This study is to evaluate the effect of transplantation with collagen scaffold/u…

PurposeTo investigate the relationship between dedifferentiated endometrioid carcinomas with neuroendocrine differentiation and mismatch repair deficiency.Patients and methodsThe clinicopathological records and samples of three patients wer…

Endometriosis an important cause of female infertility and seriously impact physical and psychological health of patients. Endometriosis is now considered to be a public health problem that deserves in-depth investigation, especially the et…

BackgroundEctopic pregnancy (EP) is a common complication in women undergoing assisted reproductive treatment, but the underlying causes for this remain unclear. This study aimed to explore factors affecting the incidence of EP in in vitro …

ABSTRACT: The NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is a key regulator of the host's immune response, and many immune and metabolic disorders are linked to its activation. This review aimed to investigate and clarify the relation…

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a major endocrine and metabolic disorder with heterogeneous manifestations and complex etiology. As a leading cause of anovulatory infertility, the molecular diversity of the follicular microe…

Hypoxia plays a vital role in the progression of endometriosis. Additionally, integrin-mediated aberrant adhesion is also essential for establishment of endometriotic lesions. In this study, we sought to determine the function of hypoxia in…

OBJECTIVE: Ovarian fibrosis is characterized by excessive proliferation of ovarian fibroblasts and deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) and it is one of the principal reasons for ovarian dysfunction. This review aimed to investigate the…

FSH, but not BMP-15, was able to enhance the proliferation and progesterone secretion of granular cells. The proliferation of granular cells and secretion of progesterone were inhibited by the follicular fluid from patients with endometrios…

To elucidate whether the endometriotic cells of endometriomas synthesize transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1) and understand how it affects surrounding ovarian tissue. We collected biopsies of the cystic walls from 42 endometriomas …

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) was one of the most used therapies in the treatment of endometriosis. But unfortunately, no literatures realized GnRH-a may be related to thrombosis until now. The case below was exactly about…

MGd1, a monoclonal antibody raised against gastric cancer cells, possesses a high degree of specificity for gastric cancer (GC). Here we identified that the antigen of MGd1 is CEACAM5, and used MGd1 to investigate the expression of CEACAM5 …

ObjectiveTo investigate whether abnormal expression of Musashi-1 occurs in eutopic and ectopic endometria from patients with adenomyosis and whether it is correlated with serum estradiol or progesterone levels.Study designMusashi-1 expressi…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis affects natural fertility through various approaches, and in vitro fertilization (IVF) is a good treatment. But the IVF result of endometriosis patients is still under debate. We investigated the effect of endometr…

ObjectiveTo determine whether endometrial expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) or inducible NOS (iNOS) protein in women with endometriosis-associated infertility is different from that in the fertile controls, whether GnRH…
