Objectives: Explore the diagnostic and prognostic value of cyclooxygenase-2 and wnt3a/β-catenin pathway in endometrial cancer. Methods: A prospective cohort study of 93 women underwent hysterectomy at the China-Japan Friendship Hospital (61…

Mammalian STE20-like kinase 1 (MST1) plays an important role in pancreatic cancer progression, but its downstream targets are still unknown. In the present study, our results indicated that MST1 expression was significantly downregulated in…

Evaluation of the efficacy of a danazol-loaded intrauterine contraceptive device on adenomyosis in an ICR

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between IL-10 promoter gene polymorphism and the susceptibility to endometriosis (EMs) in Chinese population. Amplification refractory mutation system polymerase chain reactions …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between the susceptibility of endometriosis (EMS) and the gene polymorphism of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in Chinese Han population. METHODS: Peripheral blood samples were collected from 76 EMS patie…

BACKGROUND: Danazol, a synthetic steroid with antigonadotrophic properties, has been widely used for the treatment of endometriosis and adenomyosis. However, the local application of danazol to the uterus to treat adenomyosis is controversi…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the level of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) in peritoneal fluid (PF) and serum in patients with endometriosis. DESIGN: A prospective analytical study. SETTING: University-affiliated obstetrics and gynec…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the concentrations of interleukin-15 (IL-15) in peritoneal fluid from women with endometriosis and fertile disease-free controls. STUDY DESIGN: Peritoneal fluid samples were obtained from 50 women with endometriosis an…

Although associations of interleukin-10 (IL-10) gene promoter polymorphisms and their protein production with endometriosis risk have been reported, the correlations remain controversial. The objective of this study was to determine IL-10 g…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether interleukin-1 beta (IL-1beta ) and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA) gene polymorphisms are associated with endometriosis (EMs) in Chinese women. METHODS: One hundred and thirty-eight patients wit…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of interleukin-17 (IL-17) in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. METHODS: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the concentrations of IL-17 in peritoneal fluid of 36 patients with di…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of interleukine-16 (IL-16) in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. METHODS: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine the levels of IL-16 in peritoneal fluid and serum specimens of 22 …

This prospective study aimed to determine whether patients with endometriosis are having different level of interlukin-17 (IL-17) in peritoneal fluid when compared with patients without endometriosis. The patients with minimal/mild endometr…

At present, the exact pathogenesis of endometriosis (EMs) remains uncertain. However, more and more researches support that interleukin-1 (IL-1) plays an important role in implantation, proliferation and invasion of endometrial cells along …

Up to date, the exact etiological mechanism of endometriosis (EMs) is still unclear. However, many researches supported that the disturbance of molecular mechanism in immune system is one of the key mechanisms which underlie the implantatio…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the concentrations of interleukin-18 (IL-18) in peritoneal fluid and serum in patients with endometriosis in comparison with the control group. DESIGN: A prospective analytical study. SETTING: The obstetrics and gy…
