PURPOSE: To evaluate the impact of poor ovarian response (POR) on live birth outcomes in endometriosis patients undergoing IVF/ICSI-ET, despite the expected association between reduced oocyte yield and poorer prognosis. METHODS: Patients w…
AIMS: Observational studies have reported an association between dietary factors and endometriosis, but the causality remains unknown. The study aimed to investigate the potential causal association between dietary factors and endometriosis…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors in patients with endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer. METHODS: In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 135 ovarian cancer patients …
Abstract Aims Observational studies have reported an association between dietary factors and endometriosis, but the causality remains unknown. The study aimed to evaluate the potential causal effect of dietary factors on endometriosis. Meth…
Introduction and hypothesisThe objective was to investigate the correlation between endogenous vaginal microecological alterations and female pelvic organ prolapse (POP).MethodsPatients who underwent vaginal hysterectomy were retrospectivel…
BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence of immunological dysfunction have been described in endometriosis. Dendritic cells (DCs), one of the main antigen-presenting cells, are specialized in the initiation and modulation of the adaptive immune respon…
Endometriosis is a common benign disease in gynecology and has malignant biological behaviors, such as hyperplasia, invasion, metastasis, and recurrence. However, the pathogenesis of endometriosis remains unclear. The present study aimed to…
PURPOSE: To explore the exact mechanism through which emodin down-regulates the migration and invasion abilities of endometrial stromal cells. Moreover, to explore the theoretical basis of emodin in the treatment of endometriosis. PATIENTS …
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a significant part in the pathogenesis of endometriosis by facilitating the migration and invasion abilities of cells. Integrin-linked kinase (ILK) increases the cell migration and invasion abil…
PurposeTo investigate whether postoperative GnRH agonist (GnRH-a) treatment can prevent endometriosis recurrence.MethodsThis meta-analysis searched PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library for relevant studies published online before June 2015. …
BACKGROUND: To identify the level of periostin in serum and peritoneal washing fluids (PWF) from women with and without endometriosis, as well as to explore the potential of periostin as a biomarker of endometriosis. METHODS: Samples were o…
ObjectiveTo determine whether emodin facilitates the mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) as well as to explore the mechanism through which emodin favored the MET of ESCs.MethodsCell viability was test…
Although periostin was confirmed to facilitate the pathogenesis of endometriosis by enhancing the migration, invasion, and adhesion of human endometrial stromal cells (ESCs), its effect on the endometrial epithelial cells (EECs) is still un…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate expression of ILKAP among women with endometriosis and its association with clinical characteristics. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted at a center in China in 2012, using samples of ectopic (n=55) and e…
Although our previous study confirmed that periostin (PN) was overexpressed in the eutopic and ectopic endometrial stroma of women with endometriosis by immunohistochemitry, the role of PN in the pathophysiology of endometriosis remains unk…
BACKGROUND: Endometrial polyps (EP) and endometriosis are both estrogen-dependent overgrowths of the endometrium. Several studies have shown a higher frequency of EP in endometriosis patients when compared with women without endometriosis. …
