PURPOSE: To assess the effect of assisted hatching (AH) site on the clinical outcomes in vitrified-warmed blastocyst transfer cycles. METHODS: A total of 160 women who underwent vitrified-warmed blastocyst transfer cycles were randomized t…
OBJECTIVE: Now there are more and more evidences that Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) plays an important role in angiogenesis of endometriosis (EMs). Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has a potent angiogenic activity. However, it is worth …
BACKGROUND: To investigate the association of DNA nucleotide excision repair (NER) defects with neurological degeneration, cachexia and cancer, we performed autopsies on 4 adult xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) patients with different clinical fe…
Embryo implantation is a highly synchronized bioprocess between an activated blastocyst and a receptive uterus. In mice, successful implantation relies on the dynamic interplay of estrogen and progesterone; however, the key mediators downst…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effectiveness and safety of laparoscopic presacral neurectomy (LPN) in treating endometriosis-associated pain. METHODS: Totally 64 patients with endometriosis were divided into two groups using prospective non-ran…
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…
BACKGROUND: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays an important role in the development of endometriosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of polymorphisms in the VEGF gene with the susceptibility to endomet…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in VEGF gene with the risk of endometriosis and adenomyosis. METHODS: Genotypes were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length poly…
INTRODUCTION: An excessive inflammatory response is thought to account for the pathogenesis of sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) after severe trauma. The interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a potent anti-inflammatory cytokine. The…
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 …
Psammocarcinoma is a rare form of serous carcinoma of the ovary or peritoneum, and it is characterised by extensive psammoma body formation and invasion of surrounding structures. This report describes the case of a 42-year-old woman who pr…
子宫内膜异位症(内异症)和子宫腺肌病(腺肌病)为妇科常见疾病,但其病因及发病机制尚不明确.虽为良性疾病,但具有周围浸润、远处转移和种植的恶性行为,其中血管生成在子宫内膜异位种植的过程中起重要作用。
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a major mediator of angiogenesis and vascular permeability, may play a key role in the development of adenomyosis. The aim of this study was to investigate whether these four VEGF polymorphisms (-2…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) with the risk of endometriosis and adenomyosis. METHODS: Genotyp…
