OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis and pelvic inflammatory disease are considered to be risk factors for ovarian cancer, as dysbiosis probably contributes to ovarian cancer development via chronic inflammation and immune response alteration. Therefor…

Ovarian cancer is the one of the most lethal gynecological cancer types. MicroRNAs (miRs) are noncoding RNAs that modulate the translation of their target mRNAs via binding to a complementary sequence in the target 3' untranslated region, a…

Endometriosis is the hormone-dependent product of endometrial tissue found outside the uterus. Recently, micro-RNAs (miRNAs) were shown to play a role in endometriotic lesion development. However, the mechanism of steroid hormones responsib…

UnlabelledRecent molecular and pathological studies suggest that endometriosis may serve as a precursor of ovarian cancer (endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer, EAOC), especially of the endometrioid and clear cell subtypes. Accordingly, …

It is believed that endometrial miRNAs contribute to the aetiology of endometriosis in stem cells; however, the mechanisms remain unclear. Here we collected serum samples from patients with or without endometriosis and characterized the miR…

ObjectiveTo elucidate the role of endometrial stem-progenitor cells in the etiology of endometriosis and to develop an animal model to study the invasion ability of endometrial cells.DesignGene expression and cell function studies were desi…

OBJECTIVES: To measure serum resistin levels in infertile women undergoing in vitro fertilisation-embryo transfer (IVF-ET), and to find any correlations between serum resistin levels and body weight, body mass index, the number of oocytes r…

The objective of this study was to compare the results of a modified laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) procedure, using light-endorsed transvaginal section by two puncture trocars, with those of total abdominal hysterect…
