Long-term dienogest treatment in endometriosis: Consensus from Taiwanese experts
Taiwanese journal of obstetrics & gynecology ·doi:10.1016/j.tjog.2024.07.015

Dienogest has been proven effective as long-term therapeutic option for pelvic pain caused by endometriosis. However, in Taiwan, there is a lack of a well-tailored consensus on its long-term administration. To address this gap, Taiwanese ex…

The Presence of TGFβ3 in Human Ovarian Intrafollicular Fluid and Its Involvement in Thromboxane Generation in Follicular Granulosa Cells through a Canonical TGFβRI, Smad2/3 Signaling Pathway and COX-2 Induction.
International journal of molecular sciences ·doi:10.3390/ijms25105558

Ovarian follicular fluid (FF) has a direct impact on oocyte quality, playing key roles in fertilization, implantation, and early embryo development. In our recent study, we found FF thromboxane (TX) to be a novel factor inversely correlated…

Factors associated with the efficacy of mature oocyte production after dual-trigger controlled ovarian stimulation using a GnRH antagonist protocol.
Journal of the Chinese Medical Association : JCMA ·doi:10.1097/jcma.0000000000000989

BackgroundThe number of mature oocytes retrieved plays a significant role in determining embryo development and pregnancy outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF). However, studies investigating factors predictive of the efficacy of mature …

Connective tissue growth factor mediates transforming growth factor β-induced collagen expression in human endometrial stromal cells
PloS one ·doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0210765

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a medical condition defined by the abnormal presence of endometrial tissue within the myometrium, in which fibrosis occurs with new collagen deposition and myofibroblast differentiation. In this study, the effect …

Endometrial L-selectin ligand is downregulated in the mid-secretory phase during the menstrual cycle in women with adenomyosis
Taiwanese journal of obstetrics & gynecology ·doi:10.1016/j.tjog.2018.06.005

OBJECTIVE: Defects in L-selectin ligand (LSL) expression have been reported to cause implantation failure, but little is known about LSL expression in adenomyosis. This study evaluates LSL expression throughout the menstrual cycle in women …

Involvement of NADPH oxidase and NF-κB activation in CXCL1 induction by vascular endothelial growth factor in human endometrial epithelial cells of patients with adenomyosis
Journal of reproductive immunology ·doi:10.1016/j.jri.2016.08.011

Chemokines were known to participate in inflammation and angiogenesis but have been recently recognized to be involved in embryonic implantation and endometrium-related pathologies. Among these chemokines, the CXC chemokines, such as CXCL1,…
