The lack of efficient tumor progression and chemoresistance indicators leads to high mortality in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients. Dysregulated miR-520g expression is involved in these processes in hepatic and colorectal cancers. I…
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…
Primary uterine non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is extremely rare accounting for <1% of all extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Imaging findings of primary uterine lymphoma have rarely been reported before. We present magnetic resonance imaging (MRI…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the urodynamic study (UDS) patterns, obstruction status, continence status, and their correlations among neurologically intact women with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) through an epidemiological and logistic …
High levels of arsenic in drinking water, soil, and air are associated with the higher incidences of several kinds of cancers worldwide, but the mechanism is yet to be fully discovered. Recently, a number of evidences show that dysregulatio…
OBJECTIVE: To determine the effectiveness of different concentrations of lauromacrogol injections for the treatment of endometriosis in an experimental animal model and to provide an experimental basis for a pre-clinical application of the …
Objective. To evaluate the effect of GuiXiong Xiaoyi Wan (GXXYW) on the development of endometriosis in a rat model. Methods. Sprague-Dawley rats with surgically induced endometriosis were randomly treated with low-dose GXXYW, high-dose GXX…
BACKGROUND: The Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (GBD 2013) aims to bring together all available epidemiological data using a coherent measurement framework, standardised estimation methods, and transparent data sources to enable compari…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the regulation mechanism of estrogen on the free calcium of smooth muscle cells at the endometrial-myometrial interface (EMI) in uteri with adenomyosis. METHODS: From September 2011 to November 2012, 59 uterine my…
OBJECTIVE: To clarify the clinicopathological features of ovarian clear cell carcinoma derived from endometriotic cyst (EC-OCCC). METHODS: Totally 54 cases of EC-OCCC were recruited in the current retrospective study. The relation between …
BACKGROUND: Most of infertile women with normal follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels and antral follicle count (AFC) at day 2-3 of the period, but poor IVF outcomes may occur when use of routine controlled ovarian stimulation. This pap…
OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that P-selectin plays a critical role in the development of endometriosis and that targeting P-selectin has therapeutic potential. DESIGN: Prospective, randomized study. SETTING: Academic facility. ANIMA…
Current research has strongly proposed that contrary to prior beliefs, many ovarian epithelial cancers (OECs) do not, as their name suggests, originate in the ovaries. Recent findings regarding both high-grade and low-grade serous carcinoma…
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor-2 plays an essential role in angiogenesis, and it also expressed in the glandular epithelium and stromal cells of ectopic endometrium. Cediranib is a protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor that …
PURPOSE: To evaluate the epigenetic risk linked to assisted reproductive technology (ART) at single-embryo level by analyzing the methylation status of imprinted H19, PEG1, and KvDMR1 in human preimplantation embryos. METHODS: A total of 2…
Advanced abdominal pregnancy is rare. The low incidence, high misdiagnosis rate, and lack of specific clinical signs and symptoms explain the fact that there are no standard diagnostic and treatment options available for advanced abdominal …
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the characteristics and antiangiogenic effects of endostatin-loaded PAMAM on endometriosis in a noninvasive animal model. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A noninvasive animal model was established by injecting adenovirus-GFP …
OBJECTIVES: This work aims to detect the peritoneal fluid proteomic patterns in endometriosis patients, build diagnostic models, and evaluate its clinical significance. STUDY DESIGN: The authors used SELDI-TOF-MS protein chip array technol…
An aromatase encoded by the CYP19 gene catalyzes the final step in the biosynthesis of estrogens, which is related to endometriosis development. To assess the association of CYP19 gene polymorphisms with the risks of endometriosis, chocolat…
BACKGROUND: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is one of the curative therapies for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), however, accelerated progression of residual HCC after incomplete RFA has been reported more frequently. The underlying molecular…
It has reported that interleukin-22 (IL-22) promotes the invasion of tumor cells. IL-22 in the endometriotic milieu stimulates the proliferation of human endometrial stromal cells (ESCs). The present study aimed to elucidate whether and how…
Endometrial adenocarcinoma is the most common tumour of the female genital tract in developed countries, and oestrogen receptor (ER) signalling plays a pivotal role in its pathogenesis. When we used bioinformatics tools to search for the ge…
BACKGROUND: This is an updated merged review of two originally separate Cochrane reviews: one on robot-assisted surgery (RAS) for benign gynaecological disease, the other on RAS for gynaecological cancer. RAS is a relatively new innovation …
The ectopic endometrial tissues lining the lumen of the fallopian tubes are currently defined as either "endometrial colonization" or "endometriosis" on the basis of their location within or beyond the isthmic portion of the fallopian tubes…
Human ectopic pregnancy (EP) is a leading cause of pregnancy-related death, but the molecular basis underlying the onset of tubal EP is largely unknown. Female Dicer1 conditional knockout mice are infertile with dysfunctional Fallopian tube…
