Our study aimed to explore the mechanisms underlying abnormal angiogenesis in adenomyosis (AM). Endometria of internal adenomyosis (AM-in) and external adenomyosis (AM-ex) were collected for single-cell RNA-sequencing. Cells showing consist…
BACKGROUND: Abnormal angiogenesis plays vital role in the pathogenesis of adenomyosis (AM). Emerging evidence suggests that exosomes derived from endometrial cells can accelerate the progression of AM. In this study, we aim to investigate t…
Adenomyosis (AM) is an estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder in which local steroid handling may contribute to clinical heterogeneity. To characterize estrogen metabolic features in AM, we used liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrom…
Ethnopharmacological relevanceWenshen Xiaozheng Tang (WXT), a traditional Chinese medicine prescription, exerted a good therapeutic effect on endometriosis. However, the underlying mechanism is unclear. In the present study, we sought to ev…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the balance between regulatory T cells (Treg) and T-helper 17 cells (T(H)17) in peripheral blood and uteri of women with adenomyosis (AM), and to evaluate their potential correlation with dysmenorrhea and CA-125 le…
OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical efficacy of Bushen Huoxue Sanyu Decoction (BHSD) in treatment of adenomyosis (AM) patients. METHODS: Seventy AM patients of Shen deficiency blood stasis syndrome (SDBSS) were randomly assigned to two group…
The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of Wenshen Xiaozheng Tang (WXT) on the development of endometriosis in a rat model. Sprague-Dawley rats in which endometriotic implants were induced were divided randomly into 3 group…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of Wenshen Xiaozhng Tang (WXT) on ectopic endometrial growth and on angiogenesis in endometrial implants in a rat model. METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rats with endometriotic implants were randomly treated with l…
