BACKGROUND: miRNA expression profiles in ectopic endometrium (EC) serving as pathophysiologic genetic fingerprints contribute to determining endometriosis progression; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unknown. METHODS: m…

RATIONALE: Ovarian leiomyoma is a rare ovarian tumor that occurs in 20-65 year-old women, and is mostly misdiagnosed as malignant tumor. In most reports on this type of tumor, ovarian myoma has a benign histology. Herein,we describe a case …

Endometrial-derived stem cells (EnSCs) serve an important role in the development of endometriosis via retrograde menstruation. Abnormal expression of miRNAs in EnSCs is involved in the etiology of endometriosis, however, the mechanisms rem…

BACKGROUND: Primary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC) is rarely seen clinically. Herein, we investigate the clinical and pathological characteristics and appropriate therapies for PFTC. METHODS: A total of 36 patients for whom PFTC was patho…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in eutopic and ectopic endometrium of in nude mice models of endometriosis and understand the role of VEGF in the development of endometriosis. METHODS: …
