OBJECTIVE: To identity whether there is muscle atrophy phenomenon in end-stage kidney disease patients and to detect the level of transcription factor Foxo1 and the activity of ubiquitin-proteasome system. METHODS: Twenty-two patients in c…

Endometriosis is a puzzling and debilitating disease that affects millions of women around the world. Ovary is the most common organ site involved by endometriosis. Despite various hypotheses about its cell of origin, uncertainty remains. O…

BACKGROUND: The clinicopathologic characteristics of multiple ossifying fibroma (OF) are unclear due to the condition's rarity, making diagnosis challenging. Sporadic multiple OFs must be distinguished from hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumour sy…

OBJECTIVE: To detect endometriosis by urine peptide biomarkers using magnetic beads-based matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and to identify interesting peptides using liquid chromato…

Endometriosis is a complex and enigmatic disease that arises from the interplay among multiple genetic and environmental factors. The defining feature of endometriosis is the deposition and growth of endometrial tissues at sites outside of …

AIM: To investigate the effects of Annexin A2 (ANXA2) silencing on invasion, migration, and tumorigenic potential of hepatoma cells. METHODS: Human hepatoma cell lines [HepG2, SMMC-7721, SMMC-7402, and MHCC97-H, a novel human hepatocellula…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the relation between bisphenol A and 14 phthalate metabolites and endometriosis. DESIGN: Matched cohort design. SETTING: Fourteen clinical centers. PATIENT(S): The operative cohort comprised 495 women undergoing lap…

BACKGROUND: The in vitro fertilization (IVF) technique is commonly used and is the only treatment option for a proportion of infertile couples. To obtain better outcomes of IVF, it is important to enhance embryo quality by optimizing IVF te…

UNLABELLED: A 45-year-old female patient was referred to our hospital for complaining of dyspnea and coughing in the past four months. The computed tomography scanning demonstrated a central lesion in the upper lobe of the left lung close t…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common disease. The most widely used staging system of endometriosis is the revised American Fertility Society classification (r-AFS classification) which has limited predictive ability for pregnancy after sur…

OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to describe trends in hysterectomy route at a large tertiary center. STUDY DESIGN: We reviewed all hysterectomies performed at Magee-Womens Hospital from 2000 to 2010. This database was chosen over…

PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to determine whether vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) could increase the survival of xenografted human ovarian tissue in an experimental rabbit model. MET…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of natural killer T cells (NKT) in the pathogenesis and staging of endometriosis (EMT). METHODS: Sixty EMT cases of stages I to IV were enrolled as the observation group, and 20 healthy volunteers served …

OBJECTIVE: To compare the estradiol production and P450 aromatase messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of cultured luteinized granulosa cells and the effect of letrozole on these parameters between women with and without endometriosis. DESIGN: …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression and signification of B-cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 (bcl-2), bax and ER proteins in epithelial cells in different depth of adenomyosis. METHODS: Expression and correlation of bcl-2, bax and ER proteins …

There are remarkable disparities among patients of different races with prostate cancer; however, the mechanism underlying this difference remains unclear. Here, we present a comprehensive landscape of the transcriptome profiles of 14 prima…

BACKGROUND: Carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA-125) is a glycoprotein produced by epithelial and mesothelial cells. Serum CA-125 can be elevated in many benign and malignant conditions in which these tissues are involved. METHODS: We measured se…

BACKGROUND: To determine the effect of higher progesterone (P) level on endometrial receptivity. METHODS: This was a prospective analysis conducted in the Reproductive Medical Center of Peking University Third Hospital. All patients receiv…

Angiogenesis is a critical factor in tumor growth and metastasis, and microvessel density (MVD) was an important parameter for assessing vessels in tumors. However, radiologic assessment of tumor vascularity is not yet well established. In …

The chemokine thymus-expressed chemokine (TECK), which regulates T-cell development and tissue-specific homing, has been identified as a potential contributor to the pathogenesis and progression of endometriosis. Dioxin (2,3,7,8-tetrachloro…

OBJECTIVES: To detect specific mitochondrial proteins in eutopic endometrial samples from women with and without endometriosis and to build diagnostic models. DESIGN: Eutopic endometrial samples from women with endometriosis (excluding ade…

Adenomyosis and endometriosis have a similar pathogenesis; indeed, adenomyosis has been considered by some as a variant of endometriosis ('internal endometriosis'). This study aimed to detect differences in mitochondrial proteins in eutopic…

Chronic infection and inflammation are among the most important factors contributing to cancer development and growth. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are important families of pattern recognition receptors, which recognize conserved components …

Surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF-MS) protein chip array technology was used to detect biomarkers of eutopic endometrium in endometriosis patients. Five potential biomarkers (6,898 m/z,…

ObjectiveWe sought to determine age-adjusted rates (AARs) of lower urinary tract injury and incidence in selected inpatient gynecologic and obstetric procedures.Study designWe utilized the National Hospital Discharge Survey, 1979-2006. AARs…
