STUDY QUESTION: Is phosphatase of regenerating liver-3 (PRL-3) associated with increased motility of endometriotic cells from endometrioma? SUMMARY ANSWER: Elevated PRL-3 promotes cytoskeleton reorganization, cell migration and invasion of …
Our study investigated poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) as protein delivery vehicles encapsulate CTLA-4-antibody (anti-CTLA-4) which is essential for CD4+CD25+Treg cells suppressive function exposing superior potential for inhibiting en…
PurposeTo compare the clinical usefulness of reduced field-of-view diffusion-weighted imaging (rFOV) with other imaging techniques in determining the depth of myometrial invasion (DMI) in endometrial cancer.Materials and methodsIn this pros…
Estradiol and its nuclear receptors, estrogen receptor (ER) α and ER-β, have important functions in endometriosis, and the transcriptional activity of these receptors is modulated by coactivators and corepressors. The steroid receptor RNA a…
ObjectiveTo compare the expression of P57 and Cyclin G1 in proliferation endometrium and early pregnancy decidua.MethodsHuman endometrial samples were acquired from normal menstrual cycle women undergoing laparoscopy or hysterectomy for fal…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of exogenous suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) in Janus Kinase/Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (JAK2/STAT3) signaling pathways and examine the relationship between exogenous SOCS…
The modulating attributes of steroid receptor RNA activator protein (SRAP) on steroid receptors have been shown in some types of tumor cells. There is compelling evidence to suggest that this molecule may play a critical role in the develop…
PurposeOver expression of tissue factor (TF) occurs in more than 50 % of colorectal cancer (CRC). Therefore, TF represents an attractive target antigen for immunotherapy in CRC.MethodsHere, we assessed the safety and efficacy of a recombina…
This study investigates the influence of ovarian endometrioma on expression of steroid receptor RNA activator (SRA), estrogen receptors (ERs), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and thrombospondin 1 (TSP-1) in the surrounding ovaria…
AimAnimal and in vitro studies suggest that the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may be associated with reduced risk for ovarian cancer. However, results from these studies have been inconsistent. The aim of our study w…
BackgroundNon-fatal health outcomes from diseases and injuries are a crucial consideration in the promotion and monitoring of individual and population health. The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) studies done in 1990 and 2000 have been the o…
BACKGROUND: Danazol, a synthetic steroid with antigonadotrophic properties, has been widely used for the treatment of endometriosis and adenomyosis. However, the local application of danazol to the uterus to treat adenomyosis is controversi…
A new mucin antigen was detected in a mucinous cystadenoma of human ovary. An antiserum produced in rabbits against the crude cyst fluid, following appropriate absorptions, showed immunoreactivity exclusively with tumour epithelium, particu…
