BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Dopamine has multiple anti-inflammatory effects, but its role and molecular mechanism in acute pancreatitis (AP) are unclear. We investigated the role of dopamine signalling in the inflammatory response in AP. EXPER…
Melatonin confers protective effects on premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) induced by tripterygium glycosides (TG) by reducing oxidative stress. Silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) signaling is found to be associated with the physiolo…
The proportion of alcohol-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) in all ONFH patients was 30.7%, with males prevailing among the ONFH patients in mainland China (70.1%). Matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2), a member of the MMP gene …
BACKGROUND: Genital Chlamydia infection (GCI) and the associated pathologies have been implicated in tubal infertility. Though the actual pathologic mechanisms are still uncertain, oxidative stress and other factors have been implicated. Th…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the association between the genetic variant of E-cadherin gene and endometriosis-related infertility. DESIGN: Case-control study. SETTING: University hospital. PATIENT(S): Five hundred eighty-nine women with ovarian…
It is speculated that genetically modified food (GMF)/genetically modified organism (GMO) is responsible for infertility development. The risk linked with a wide use of GMFs/GMOs offers the basic elements for social criticism. However, to d…
OBJECTIVE: Mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have been demonstrated to differentiate into female endometrial epithelial cells (EECs) in vivo. Our previous studies demonstrated that BMSCs can differentiate in the direction of …
Objective To clarify the clinical features,ultrasonic imaging changes and prognosis of neoplasias arised from endometriosis(EM). Methods A total of 23 women with ovarian neoplasia arising from EM were analyzed retrospectively,including clin…
OBJECTIVE: To study the effectiveness and safety of combined laparoscopy and gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) in the treatment of endometriosis (EM). METHODS: From January to December 2010, 198 patients with EM undergoing tr…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the action of nuclear factor (NF)-κB in adenomyosis and evaluate the potential therapeutic effect of andrographolide on tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-induced expression of NF-κB-mediated genes cyclooxygease-2 (COX-…
AIM: To investigate whether intrinsic ureteral endometriosis could be managed by laser endoureterotomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We studied retrospectively 6 patients with intrinsic ureteral endometriosis who underwent laser endoureterotomy a…
目的探讨卵巢子宫内膜异位症(endometriosis,EM)瘤变的临床特点、超声图像特征及预后。方法回顾性分析23例卵巢EM瘤变的临床、超声及病理资料,随访其预后。结果卵巢EM恶变的高危因素有年龄〉45岁,特别是绝经后女性,异常阴道流血、腹痛性质改变,超声提示包块短期内迅速增大、囊肿直径〉8cm、囊壁见乳头或血流丰富。随访Ⅰ期患者16例均未见复发;Ⅲ~Ⅳ期患者3例均死亡。结论联合病史和经阴道彩色多普勒超声检查是早发现卵巢EM恶变的有效方法。
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 …
BACKGROUND: Wide excision is considered the treatment of endometriosis. It is difficult to surgeon for reconstruction of a large full-thickness defect through the abdominal-wall. We introduce a method of mini-abdominoplasty combined with me…
OBJECTIVE: Although fibroids greatly affect reproductive health, the pathophysiology and epidemiology are not well known. Recently, we have reported the relationship between uterine leiomyoma and metabolic syndrome. Many studies have indica…
OBJECTIVE: Uterine leiomyomas are the most common gynaecological benign tumour and greatly affect reproductive health and wellbeing. They are the predominant indication for hysterectomy in premenopausal women. Curcumin, a well-known compone…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence on ovarian reserve function in treatment of ovarian endometriotic cyst by laparoscopic cystectomy with various hemostasis management. METHODS: From September 2007 to August 2008, 61 patients with bil…
Objective To detect the effects of Survivin expression and angiogenesis on the etiology and progress in endometriosis and the correlation between them. Methods Seventeen samples of endometriomata,17 samples of eutopic endometrium of endomet…
