AIMS: The aim of the present study is to investigate the differential expression of CD44, CD47 and c-met in ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC), the correlation in their expression and their relationship with the biological behavior of OCCC…

Human endometrium decidualization, which involves endometrial stromal proliferation and differentiation, is a prerequisite for embryo implantation, thus successful pregnancy. The Forkhead Box M1 (FoxM1), previously known as HNF-3, HFH-11, M…

BACKGROUND: The Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (GBD 2013) aims to bring together all available epidemiological data using a coherent measurement framework, standardised estimation methods, and transparent data sources to enable compari…

OBJECTIVES: Somatic mutations in mediator complex subunit 12 (MED12) have emerged as a critical genetic change in the development of uterine leiomyomas. Studies, however, have focused largely on cohorts consisting of Caucasian patients. In …

Hyperlipidemic pancreatitis (HP) is a serious inflammatory disease with very high mortality and multiple organ injuries including renal injury. Rosiglitazone (Ros), an agonist of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ), was re…

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) is activated during early stages of pancreatitis. This transcription factor regulates genes that control many cell activities, including inflammation and survival. There is evidence that activati…

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of GnRH-II on the cell proliferation, apoptosis and secreting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) of ectopic, eutopic and normal endometrial stromal cells (ESC) from patients with or without endometriosi…

PURPOSE: To study the effect of gonadotropin-releasing hormone II (GnRHII) on the cell apoptosis of ectopic, eutopic and normal endometrial stromal cells cultured in vitro from endometriosis patients, and to provide theoretical basis for ex…

In endometriosis research, endometriosis-like lesions are usually induced in rodents by transplantation of isolated endometrial tissue fragments to ectopic sites. In the present study, we investigated whether this approach is affected by th…

Embryo implantation involves the intimate interaction between an implantation-competent blastocyst and a receptive uterus, which occurs in a limited time period known as the window of implantation. Emerging evidence shows that defects origi…

BACKGROUND: China has undergone rapid demographic and epidemiological changes in the past few decades, including striking declines in fertility and child mortality and increases in life expectancy at birth. Popular discontent with the healt…

BACKGROUND: miRNAs are a group of small RNA molecules regulating target genes by inducing mRNA degradation or translational repression. Aberrant expression of miRNAs correlates with various cancers. Although miR-135a has been implicated in …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical value of combination of human epididymis protein 4 (HE4), CA125 and the Risk of Ovarian Malignancy Algorithm (ROMA) in diagnosis of ovarian carcinoma. METHODS: To detect the serum concentration of HE4…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the inhibitory effect of gonadotropin-releasing hormone II(GnRHII) and gonadotropin-releasing hormone I agonist (GnRH Ia) on the proliferation of endometrial stromal cells in vitro from endometriosis patients. MET…

The objective of this study was to prepare a novel mifepristone-loaded PCL/Pluronic F68 implant to achieve long-term treatment of endometriosis. PCL/Pluronic F68 compound (90/10, w/w) with viscosity average molecular weight of 65,000 was su…

Carcinomas of müllerian origin involving colorectum in women with no concurrent or history of gynecologic malignancies are diagnostically challenging, and its histogenetic origin is uncertain. We reviewed 13 cases of carcinoma of müllerian …

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of GnRH I and GnRH II on the secretion of VEGF by eutopic and ectopic endometrial stromal cells cultured in vitro, and to provide theoretical basis for exploring new treatments for endometriosis (EMs). ME…

The aim of this study was to observe the inhibitory effect of curcumin on endometriosis (EMS) and to determine its influence on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and microvessel density (MVD) in eutopic and ectopic endometrium of ex…

Tumor-associated lymphatic endothelial cells (TLEC) could play a key role in the process of tumor metastasis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of TLECs that were isolated from human epithelial ovarian tumor (EOT) on ovari…

Much of our knowledge of human uterine physiology and pathology has been extrapolated from the study of diverse animal models, as there is no ideal system for studying human uterine biology in vitro. Although it remains debatable whether mo…

OBJECTIVE: To inspect the effect of gonadotropin-releasing hormonel II (GnRH-II)on the secretion of VEGF by eutopic and ectopic endometrial stromal cells cultured in vitro. METHODS: Eutopic and ectopic stromal cells cultured in vitro were …

There has been emergence of evidence suggesting that specific variants of the vascular endothelia growth factor (VEGF) family, based on their ability to regulate angiogenesis, would be pivotal in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. This stud…

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical presentation of perineal endometriosis and evaluate its treatment. METHODS: Clinical data were analyzed from the records of 36 patients with perineal endometriosis who were operated on between 1983 and 20…

UNLABELLED: This review will address the current understanding of the relationship between prolactin (PRL) and endometriosis-associated infertility. Although the exact mechanisms of action of hyperprolactinemia in patients with endometriosi…

The transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the upper urinary tract is relatively uncommon. The clinical presentation of TCCs and many other diseases of the upper urinary tract are nonspecific, and most of these lesions are usually necessary t…
