To analyze the clinicopathological characteristics of pelvic masses after hysterectomy for benign diseases, and to analyze the related factors of benign and malignant pelvic masses.This study retrospectively analyzed the patients undergone …
BACKGROUND: Dienogest provided significantly greater reduction in endometriosis-associated pelvic pain (EAPP) than placebo in a 24-week, randomized, double-blind study of Chinese women with endometriosis. The current open-label extension st…
ObjectivesTo analyze the clinicopathological characteristics of subsequent pelvic masses after hysterectomy for benign diseases, and to compare the masses following hysterectomy with or without simultaneous bilateral salpingectomy.MethodsTh…
Endometriosis is a common gynecologic disorder and due to a lack of non-invasive detection methods, it can take up to 12 years before an affected woman obtains a diagnosis and receives appropriate treatment. Therefore, the identification of…
RATIONALE: The purpose of this case report was to raise awareness regarding endometriosis on the surface of the uterus mimicking malignant tumor and thus manage it accurately. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 40-year-old Asian woman with a 2-year histor…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) is a common gynecological disease in women of reproductive age. These patients in approximately 80% suffer the various degree pain. This study will investigate synergistically the mechanism of the higher-posit…
Endometriosis is associated with changes in long non‑coding RNA (lncRNA) and mRNA expression, but the exact changes during the implantation window are unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the lncRNA and mRNA expression profiles i…
Endometriosis-associated pain afflicts an enormous number of women who suffer from endometriosis. There is an urgent need to explore the pathogenesis of endometriosis-associated pain to identify targets for treatment of hyperalgesia. A sear…
BackgroundWe report an extremely rare case of vaginal clear cell carcinoma, which originated from the malignant transformation of vaginal adenosis without prenatal diethylstilbestrol (DES) exposure.Case presentationIn this case, the patient…
IntroductionLittle is known about the prevalence and prognosis of synchronous endometrial and ovarian carcinomas. This report explores the survival outcomes of synchronous stage IA endometrioid endometrial and stage IA ovarian carcinomas in…
OBJECTIVE: To determine the long-term effects of using the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) to treat symptomatic adenomyosis. METHOD: A prospective longitudinal study was conducted among 1100 women who received the LNG…
BackgroundEpithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the fifth most common cause of cancer death in women. Due to a lacking of early detection method, its five-year survival rate is only 30%. Nevertheless, novel biomarkers for diagnosis remain to b…
Research has strongly suggested that the features of endometriosis serve as a precursor lesion of ovarian cancer. Cisplatin (CDDP) is the preferred drug against these cancer types. The present study investigated the effects of CDDP on surgi…
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases, although their expression pattern and role in endometriosis remains unknown. Therefore, here, we profiled the expression patterns of circRNAs in ovarian ectopic and…
BACKGROUND: Dienogest is a progestin with demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of endometriosis in European women. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dienogest in Chinese women. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Th…
PurposeTo assess the clinical outcomes and fertility of young women with stage I low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) treated with fertility-sparing surgery.ResultsSeventeen patients with stage I low-grade ESS (stage IA, n = 6; stage…
In ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC), the mutation rate of the AT-rich interaction domain 1A (ARID1A) gene is 46-57%. However, the effects of ARID1A gene silencing by small interfering RNA (siRNA) on the sensitivity of OCCC to cisplatin h…
OBJECTIVE: To describe the anatomic variety of congenital cervical atresia and to explore the relationship between this disorder and pelvic endometriosis. METHODS: In a retrospective study, records were reviewed for 96 patients with a confi…
Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) is a distinct histologic subtype with relatively poor survival. No prognostic or predictive molecular marker is currently available. Recent studies have shown that AT-rich interactive domain 1A (ARID1A) an…
This study was to investigate the effects of cisplatin (CDDP) and letrozole on surgically induced endometriosis and comparison of the two drugs in a rat model. Endometriosis was surgically induced by autologous transplantation of endometria…
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the incidence of endometriosis in inpatients with infertility in Peking Union Medical College Hospital in 30 years. METHODS: The inpatients of Peking Union Medical College Hospital admitted between May 1983 and Novemb…
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common gynecological disorder; however, the genetic components remain largely unidentified. Exome sequencing has been widely used to identify pathogenic gene mutations of several diseases because of its high…
Thirteen common susceptibility loci have been reproducibly associated with cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM). We report the results of an international 2-stage meta-analysis of CMM genome-wide association studies (GWAS). This meta-analysis…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of potassium channels and the influence of estrogen and progesterone on the cultured uterine smooth muscle cells (USMC) of adenomyosis in vitro. METHODS: There were 22 cases of adenomyosis hysterecto…
The malignant transformation of abdominal wall endometriosis is a rare event and poorly understood. Less than 30 cases have been reported in the literature. Most of the reported cases have a solitary tumor in the abdominal scar. A few cases…
