The purpose of this meta-analysis was to systematically assess the efficacy of ultrasound-guided therapy of ovarian endometriosis cyst (OEC). Several databases were searched to gather published studies on the efficacy of ultrasound-guided t…
OBJECTIVES: Obesity and endometriosis are intricately linked. The body mass index (BMI) is commonly used as an indicator of obesity, but it has limitations. The visceral adiposity index (VAI) is a novel, low-cost composite index that reflec…
A considerable number of women of reproductive age suffer from endometriosis worldwide. There is a significant physical, mental, and financial burden on patients affected by this condition in terms of pelvic pain, either continuously or int…
Abstract Problem: Does sildenafil have an effect on pregnancy outcomes in patients with poor endometrial development?Methods: This study included 472 infertility patients who underwent in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmatic sperm inject…
PURPOSE: The etiology and pathophysiology of endometriosis remain unclear. Current research indicates long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) may play an important role in the pathogenesis and development of endometriosis. However, the molecular mechan…
BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis (AM) is an important cause of female infertility. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. This report describes a preliminary study of hypoxia and its possible association with endometrial receptivity in A…
Endometriosis, as a prevalent gynecological disease, is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, causing infertility and considerable pain and affecting the quality of life of women. The pathogenic mechan…
Objective: This study aimed to explore the effects of lidocaine on ectopic endometrial stromal cells and the underlying mechanisms in endometriosis. Methods: Ectopic endometrial stromal cells (ESCs), which were separated from endometriotic …
Equine endometrosis, a frequent cause of subfertility, is characterized by periglandular fibrosis, and no treatment exists. Endometrial biopsies not only contain diseased glands, but also contain healthy glands and stroma. Myoepithelial (ME…
The pathogenesis of endometriosis (EMS) is complicated, and treatment results are unsatisfactory. It has become the focus of gynecological research. Analysis targeting the pathogenesis of EMS is the key to providing more effective treatment…
To investigate the association between endometriosis, tubal ligation, hysterectomy and epithelial ovarian cancer. Relevant published literatures were searched in PubMed, ProQuest, Web of Science and Medline databases during 1995-2016. Heter…
BACKGROUND: To evaluate the clinical significance of serum CA-125 and CA19-9 in women with spontaneous ruptured ovarian endometriomas. METHODS: From January 2006 to April 2015, a total of 1653 women were diagnosed with ovarian endometrioma…
PURPOSE: The phosphoinositol-3 kinase (PI3K) pathway is frequently dysregulated in endometrial cancer (EC). Hormonal manipulation leads to response in some patients with EC, but resistance derived from PI3K pathway activation has been docum…
