Transcriptome Profiling of Eutopic and Ectopic Endometrial Stromal Cells in Women with Endometriosis Based on High-Throughput Sequencing
Biomedicines ·doi:10.3390/biomedicines10102432

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease that affects approximately 5-10% of reproductive-aged women. However, the etiology and pathophysiology of endometriosis are currently unclear. The objective of this study was to identify a pot…

AIM2 Inflammasome in Tumor Cells as a Biomarker for Predicting the Treatment Response to Antiangiogenic Therapy in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Patients.
Journal of clinical medicine ·doi:10.3390/jcm10194529

Antiangiogenic therapy, such as bevacizumab (BEV), has improved progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in high-risk patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) according to several clinical trials. Clinically, no reliab…

Integration of genome-wide association study and expression quantitative trait locus mapping for identification of endometriosis-associated genes
Scientific reports ·doi:10.1038/s41598-020-79515-4

Abstract To determine whether genetic predisposition to endometriosis varies depending on ethnicity and in association with expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) in a Taiwanese population. We conducted a genome-wide association study (G…

The impact of phthalate on reproductive function in women with endometriosis
Reproductive medicine and biology ·doi:10.1002/rmb2.12364

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common gynecological condition in which stromal or glandular epithelium is implanted in extrauterine locations. Endometriosis causes detrimental effects on the granulosa cells, and phthalate interferes with th…

Exposure to Mono-n-Butyl Phthalate in Women with Endometriosis and Its Association with the Biological Effects on Human Granulosa Cells
International journal of molecular sciences ·doi:10.3390/ijms21051794

To study the association between urinary phthalate metabolite levels, endometriosis, and their effects on human granulosa cells, we recruited patients who underwent laparoscopy to confirm endometriosis (n = 123) and control patients (n = 78…

Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) and human leukocyte antigen-C (HLA-C) allorecognition patterns in women with endometriosis
Scientific reports ·doi:10.1038/s41598-020-61702-y

Endometriosis shares similarities with several autoimmune diseases. The human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-C genotype is associated with several human autoimmune diseases. HLA-C is a ligand of killer cell immunoglobulin receptors (KIRs) and is a…

No gynecologist in town: the gynecological care of women in rural Taiwan
Patient preference and adherence ·doi:10.2147/PPA.S64731

BACKGROUND: A shortage of gynecologists exists in many countries. Even within an affluent country, gynecological clinics might not be evenly distributed. The purpose of the study was to investigate the disparity in gynecological care betwee…

article 2005
Cyclooxygenase-2 expression is higher in ovarian cancer tissue adjacent to endometriosis than in ovarian cancer without comorbid endometriosis
European journal of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive biology ·doi:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2005.06.019

ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to examine if COX-2, CK7 and CK20 are involved in the malignant transformation of endometriosis.MethodsWe compared COX-2, CK7 and CK20 expressions between isolated endometriosis lesions and endometrio…
