BACKGROUND: According to mRNA microarray, proteomics and other studies, biological abnormalities of eutopic endometrium (EM) are involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis, but the relationship between mRNA and protein expression in EM i…

BACKGROUND: Lack of a non-invasive diagnostic test contributes to the long delay between onset of symptoms and diagnosis of endometriosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the combined performance of six potential plasma biomarkers in …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis occurs in 10% of women and is currently diagnosed by invasive laparoscopic testing. We tested the hypothesis that endometrial gene expression in late secretory phase endometrium differs between patients with and wi…

Endometriosis is a benign, estrogen-dependent disease and is now recognized as an enigmatic disease owing to its various clinical manifestations and locations. The lack of a reliable and specific method for the early detection of endometrio…

Endometriosis is a gynecological disorder characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Although the prevalence of endometriosis is well documented in women living in developed countries, studies on the preva…

There has been much debate of late about whether or not dioxin, an industrial toxin, could be a causative agent in the onset of endometriosis, a gynaecological disease associated with infertility and pain. Studies found either no difference…

In women of reproductive age, health economic costs are estimated to be considerably higher for endometriosis than for conditions such as Crohn's disease, migraine and hypertension, and similar to the cost of diabetes. However, more awarene…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease and estrogen-related pathways are imbalanced in women with endometriosis. One of the key enzymes in estrogen synthesis is aromatase. Inhibiting this pathway at several points is a promising ide…

Conclusions:The size of the 2 -5 mm follicle pool is an independent and important contributor to the FA of PCOS.This result could be explained by an exaggerated physiological inhibitory effect from this pool on the terminal follicle growth,…

Endometriosis is a common, estrogen-dependent, gynaecological disease, defined as the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. Although several medications are used for treatment of the disease, they are associated with high …

BACKGROUND: Inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, IL-8 and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), are important in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. We assessed the efficacy of anti-TNF monoclonal antibody (mAb, c5…

tion has oft en been criticized, there is currently no better method available. Th e stage of endometriosis is positively correlated with the degree of subfertility, but not or not as clearly with the degree of pelvic pain [4–6] . Surgical …
