Fractalkine (FKN) is involved in the immunopathogenesis of inflammatory diseases, including endometriosis. Our objective was to investigate the role of FKN in the cross-talking between endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) and U937 (macrophage l…
BACKGROUND: Previous evidence has shown that the FOXP3 gene was involved in the pathogenesis of several tumors; however, the correlation between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the FOXP3 gene and the susceptibility to hepatitis B-…
MiR-195, which exhibits a proliferation-inhibiting role in different tumors, has been reported to be down-regulated in the ectopic endometrium. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of miR-195 on the biological characteristic of…
Ovarian cancer is a major cause of death among gynecological cancers and its etiology is still unclear. Currently, the two principle obstacles in treating this life threatening disease are lack of effective biomarkers for early detection an…
OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of telomerase activity (TA) in human luteinised granulosa cells (GCs) on the outcome of in vitro fertilisation treatment. METHODS: Fifty-six women, aged 23 to 39 years, were enrolled and divided into four gro…
OBJECTIVE: To compare clinical effect of gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) alone and GnRH-a combined with low-dose dydrogesteronea and estradiol valerate on sex hormone, hypoestrogenic symptoms, quality of life and bone minera…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of Sanleng pellet on angiogenesis of endometriosis in SD rats. METHOD: The rat model of endometriosis were treated with Sanleng pellet. Observe microvessels density by immunohistochemical test as well a…
BACKGROUND: Visualization and biopsy of suspicious peritoneum can confirm endometriosis. Endoscopic India ink tattooing can lead to peritoneum that visually mimics endometriosis. CASE: A woman with chronic pelvic pain and a history of trea…
PURPOSE: The insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II) gene has four promoters that produce distinct transcripts which vary by tissue type and developmental stage. Dysregulation of normal promoter usage has been shown to occur in cancer; DNA m…
OBJECTIVE: To study the efficacy and safety of combining domestic luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analogue(LHRH-a) with low-dose norethindrone in the treatment of endometriosis. METHODS: Seventy-seven women with endometriosis were ra…
