BACKGROUND: Clear-cell carcinoma transformed from an abdominal wall scar is extremely rare; there are only 22 cases reported in literature. Here we report a case of a patient with clear-cell carcinoma of the abdominal wall after cesarean de…
This paper demonstrates an in vitro model to simulate the microenvironment of endometriosis. We used microfluidic channels with cover slips to pattern and release endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) and human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMC…
The etiology and pathogenesis of endometriosis are complex and still incompletely understood. So many theories have been developed
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of transient receptor potential vanilloid subtype 1 (TRPV1) in uterosacral ligament and its correlation with pain in endometriosis. METHODS: Total of 54 patients undergoing endometriotic lesions exc…
Endometriosis has critical implications for women's quality of life. However, an overview of the current knowledge of this issue is limited. The objective of this systematic review was to determine the extent of endometriosis and its treatm…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) on the expression mRNA of nerve growth factor (NGF) and its receptors (TrkA and P75NTR) in normal and eutopic endometrial stromal cells (ESC). METHO…
STUDY QUESTION: Can plasma microRNAs be used as a non-invasive diagnostic test for the detection of endometriosis? SUMMARY ANSWER: Plasma miR-17-5p, miR-20a and miR-22 are down-regulated in women with endometriosis compared with those with…
Endometriosis, with a prevalence rate ranging from 6% to 10%, is the major contributor to pelvic pain and subfertility, and considerably reduces the quality of life in affected women. However, the pathogenesis of this disease remains largel…
