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…

Adenomyosis is a common gynecological condition affecting women of reproductive age, posing significant diagnostic challenges due to its diverse clinical presentations. This extended opinion study critically reviews the diagnostic methods f…

BackgroundExosomal miRNAs have emerged as promising biomarkers for cancer. However, little is known about the role of exosomal miRNAs in the response prediction of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients treated with chemoradioth…

AimTo share our experiences of resuming the treatments for gynecologic patients after lifting the lockdown in a hotspot area for the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.MethodsThe triage process used to resume medical activities fo…

BACKGROUND: Ovarian endometrioma (EM) lesions not only have overwhelmed the amount of infiltrating immune cells but also display immunosuppressive phenotype. The close relationship between neutrophils and the pathogenesis of endometriosis h…

AIM: The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of Forkhead box M1 (FoxM1) in endometriosis and determine FoxM1's possible effects on endometriotic epithelial cells (EECs) invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). M…

Objective To explore the changes and clinical significance of serum syndecan-1 and MMP-9 levels in patients with different stages of endometriosis (EMS) . Method 89 patients diagnosed as EMS and meeting criterions were collected from…

OBJECTIVE: Bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation has a therapeutic effect on the thin endometrium in animal researches and clinical trials. The present study aims at assessing whether transplantation of VEGF-transfected BMSCs …

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays critical roles in angiogenesis and vasculogenesis, which are associated with post-stroke functional recovery. However, the effects of the VEGFA polymorphisms on the outcome of ischemic stroke …

PurposeTo investigate whether postoperative GnRH agonist (GnRH-a) treatment can prevent endometriosis recurrence.MethodsThis meta-analysis searched PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library for relevant studies published online before June 2015. …

ObjectiveTo determine whether emodin facilitates the mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) as well as to explore the mechanism through which emodin favored the MET of ESCs.MethodsCell viability was test…

Although periostin was confirmed to facilitate the pathogenesis of endometriosis by enhancing the migration, invasion, and adhesion of human endometrial stromal cells (ESCs), its effect on the endometrial epithelial cells (EECs) is still un…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate expression of ILKAP among women with endometriosis and its association with clinical characteristics. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted at a center in China in 2012, using samples of ectopic (n=55) and e…

BACKGROUND: Endometrial polyps (EP) and endometriosis are both estrogen-dependent overgrowths of the endometrium. Several studies have shown a higher frequency of EP in endometriosis patients when compared with women without endometriosis. …

PurposeThe aim of the study was to observe alterations of pacemaker cells termed cajal-like type of tubal interstitial cells (t-ICC) in oviduct from early-stage EMs and tEP, discuss underlying mechanisms and potential role in tubal factor i…

BACKGROUND: To study the effect of endometrial thickness and pattern measured using ultrasound upon pregnancy outcomes in patients undergoing IVF-ET. METHOD: One thousand nine hundred thirty-three women undergoing IVF treatment participated…

BACKGROUND: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays an important role in the development of endometriosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of polymorphisms in the VEGF gene with the susceptibility to endomet…
