PURPOSE: This paper provides a systematic review of the current applications of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in the imaging of pelvic floor-related anatomical structures and the assessment of microscopic pathological changes. METHODS: A …
Endometriosis diagnosis is often limited by the resolution of conventional imaging techniques (ultrasound/non-targeted MRI) as well as the invasiveness and recurrence risks associated with laparoscopy. To overcome these challenges, we devel…
PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety and short-term efficacy of magnetic resonance-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) for adenomyosis-associated dysmenorrhea. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective single-center cohort…
A successful embryo implantation relies heavily on the receptivity of the endometrial epithelium, a process regulated by various molecular mechanisms. Evaluating endometrial receptivity in infertility patients undergoing assisted reproducti…
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) carry specific proteins involved in intercellular communication. EVs with different protein contents are released into circulation in different diseases. Recent studies have identified proteins in adenomyosis (A…
The relevance of miRNA- (miR-) 342 to endometriosis has been highlighted, while its function in regulating the malignant-like phenotype of endometrial stromal cells which demonstrate epigenetic abnormalities that alter expression of transcr…
Extracellular vesicles from highly metastatic tumor cells have been shown to mediate epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related events in recipient cells. In endometrial epithelial cells, EMT processes are known to be involved in the d…
The purpose of this study was to compare the differences in expression of annexin A2, ANXA2 between eutopic and ectopic endometria and to explore the pathogenesis of adenomyosis. In this study, 22 adenomyosis patients who underwent uterine …
