Research questionIs the singleton live birth rate superior for vitrified-warmed versus fresh embryo transfer in women with adenomyosis?DesignThis cohort study retrospectively analysed data from the Reproductive Hospital Affiliated to Shando…
Abstract Background: The presence of ectopic functional endometrial glands and stroma in the myometrium of the uterine cavity is considered as adenomyosis. Various inflammatory, vascular and mechanical factors are involved in the symptoms …
AIM: Study the effect of low-dose aspirin on the endometrial receptivity in endometriosis rat models. MATERIALS AND METHODS: = 17). The expressions of progesterone receptor (PR), PRA, PRB, and leukemia inhibitory factor receptor (LIFR) in e…
Abstract BackgroundThe immune mechanism was shown to be involved in the development of adenomyosis. The current study aims to evaluate the expression of immune checkpoint B7-H2, B7-H3, B7-H4 and PD-L2 in adenomyosis and to explore the effec…
The T cell immunoglobulin mucin molecule 3 (TIM-3), as a negative regulatory immune checkpoint, plays an important role in cellular immunity by binding to its ligand galectin-9 (Gal-9). Under abnormal conditions, this pathway can regulate t…
This study aims to examine the expression of p53, p16, and murine double minute 2 (MDM2) protein in normal endometrium and endometriosis, in order to discuss the role of p53, p16, and MDM2 protein and apoptosis in the pathogenesis and devel…
BACKGROUND: Melatonin is a potential therapeutic agent for endometriosis, but its molecular mechanism is unclear. Here, we investigated the effect of melatonin on the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in endometriotic endometrial epit…
Cervical cancer (CC) is one of the most common gynecological malignancies, and metastasis limits the use of surgical resection. Metapristone (MIF) was reported to suppress the proliferation and migration of several cancer cells. Exosomes pl…
BACKGROUND: Epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) is involved in the pathogenesis of adenomyosis, and Notch signaling is crucial to EMT. The objective of this study was to explore Notch1/Numb/Snail signaling in adenomyosis. METHODS: The e…
In previous studies, we found that endometriotic stromal cells lose the ability to regulate cell survival signaling in endometriotic epithelial cells. Here, we invested the effect of Metformin on the stromal-epithelial cells crosstalk in en…
Dual-specificity phosphatase 6 (Dusp6), Sprouty4, and similar expression to FGF (Sef) are negative modulators of FGF2/ERK1/2 signaling. The objective of the study was to evaluate the expressions of Dusp6, Sprouty4, and Sef in eutopic endome…
Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) and protein phosphatase type 2A (PP2A) are negative modulators of PI3K/AKT/survivin signaling. To evaluate immunoexpression of PTEN, PP2A and survivin in adenomyosis, ectopic lesions from 28 patients wi…
UnlabelledThe objective of this study was to explore the mechanism of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) loss in endometriosis. We found that aberrant PTEN expression and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK)/ERK, phosphoinositide 3-k…
