This study aims to explore the application value of stromal cell-derived factor (CXCL12), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) in the diagnosis, staging, and clinical manifestations of endometriosis…

BACKGROUND: Deep infiltrating endometriosis is a subtype of endometriosis. A case of retroperitoneal endometriosis surrounding the ureter and forming a pelvic mass is relatively rare. CASE PRESENTATION: A 26-year-old woman was admitted to …

BACKGROUND: Cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is a high-risk ectopic pregnancy, and the influence of surgical treatments on subsequent fertility and pregnancy outcomes remains poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the impact of dif…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) is acknowledged as a risk factor for the development of endometrial cancer (EC), although the precise molecular mechanisms that underpin this association have yet to be fully elucidated. The primary objective…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMT) is a benign and common estrogen-dependent disease. Hormonal therapy improves pain symptoms in most women with EMT. However, in many cases, laparoscopic fertility preservation surgery is considered a common tr…

BACKGROUND: The association between body mass index (BMI) and IVF cycle outcomes remain inconclusive. In addition, the impact of BMI on perinatal outcomes has been less well-studied. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of BMI on…

BACKGROUND: It has been demonstrated that a thin endometrium is associated with a lower chance of pregnancy, but there is a paucity of research into whether a thin endometrium adversely affects perinatal outcomes. METHODS: This was a retro…

BACKGROUND: down-regulation has been widely used in IVF treatment; however, it lacks reports on the impact of down-regulation on obstetrics and perinatal outcomes. The purpose of this study was to compare the obstetrics and perinatal outcom…

BACKGROUND: The technique of embryo cryopreservation has been increasingly applied in clinical settings. However, there has been a concern about the safety and efficacy of long-term freezing of embryos. Therefore, the aim of this study was …

Jie-Yu Pill (JYP) is a proprietary herbal medicine initially developed to treat menstrual mood disorders. This study sought to determine whether JYP could alleviate menopausal psychiatric symptoms in ovariectomized (OVX) mice, an animal mod…

Our previous study has demonstrated the effects of aqueous extract of lily bulb in alleviating menopause-related psychiatric symptoms in ovariectomized (OVX) mice. This study sought to further investigate the psychotropic effects of total p…

The impact of surgical treatment for endometrioma prior to assisted reproductive treatment (ART) on pregnancy outcomes remains controversy. The aim of this study is to investigate whether surgery provides benefits in subsequent ART outcomes…

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common heterogeneous endocrine disorder in reproductive-age women, with prevalence around 4-12%. The present study was performed to investigate whether progesterone-induced endometrial bleed before ovulation i…

We recently reported that Slit/Roundabout (ROBO) 1 pathway may be a constituent biomarker for recurrence of endometriosis, likely through promoting angiogenesis. In this study, we sought to determine as whether Slit2 overexpression can faci…

BACKGROUND: Mounting evidence shows that nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) plays an important role in endometriosis. We therefore evaluated the therapeutic potential of andrographolide, an NF-κB inhibitor. METHODS: Primary cell cultures were perfo…

Compared with normal endometrium, SLIT expression was statistically significantly higher in ectopic endometrium from women with adenomyosis, while roundabout 1 (ROBO1) immunoreactivity and microvessel density (MVD) level were statistically …

p50 is a member of the NF-kappaB family known to be involved in endometriosis. To gain insight into the roles of p50 in the development of endometriosis, we cross-transplanted endometrial fragments from p50 knockout mice to wild-type mice a…

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of trichostatin A (TSA) in a mouse model of endometriosis on serum tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) levels, hotplate latency, lesion size and immunoreactivity to Trpv1, Pkc…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate clinicopathological features of endometriosis-associated epithelial ovarian carcinoma. METHODS: Retrospective follow-up study, clinicopathological data from patients with ovarian epithelial carcinoma were retrieve…
