The recent characterization of stem/progenitor cells in the endometrium has shed new light for pathogenesis of endometriosis. The present study was undertaken to investigate the role of Notch1, known as a cell fate regulator, in the mechani…

BACKGROUND: Increasing serum levels of uric acid (SUA) after menopause in women brought up a hypothesis that estrogenic effect may protectively regulate SUA. Estrogenic effect is a major etiology of uterine fibroids and fibrocystic breast d…

PURPOSE: To investigate the association between oral contraceptive (OC) use and glaucoma prevalence in the United States. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 3406 female participants, aged 40 years or older, from the 2…

Endometriosis, regarded as a complex disease, is influenced by multiple genetic factors. Recent genome-wide association studies (GWASs) in endometriosis have identified several susceptibility loci in Caucasian and Japanese populations. Howe…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the incidence, influencing factors and intervention of gestrinone-related abnormal uterine bleeding at different dosage of gestrinone in the clinical treatment. METHODS: This was a multicenter, randomized, control…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of uterine artery embolization (UAE) for the treatment of adenomyosis. METHODS: A prospective study was performed at Yuhuangding Hospital, China, between January 2012 and December 2013, enroll…

Adenomyosis (ADS) is a common estrogen-dependent gynecological disease with unknown etiology. Recent models favor abnormal thickening of the junctional zone (JZ) may be the causative factor in the development of ADS. RhoA, a small guanosine…

Endometriosis is a complex disease that is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. In endometriosis, WNT4 plays a likely role owing to its biological functions. In this study, the TaqMan allelic discrimination technique was used to…

The Fc receptor-like 3 (FCRL3) gene was reported to be linked to a variety of autoimmune diseases, including endometriosis-related infertility. However, this linkage has not been studied in Chinese population and there has been no meta-anal…

In order to determine the effect of endometrial injury (EI) on in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes in women with unexplained subfertility and explore the relationship between EI and endometrial inflammatory cytokines, 66 women with unexpl…

Mechanical load and postmenopausal hypoestrogen are risk factors for pelvic organ prolapse (POP). In this study, we applied a 0.1-Hz uniaxial cyclic mechanical stretching (CS) with 10% elongation and 10⁻⁸ M 17-β-estradiol to vaginal fibrobl…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to improve the understanding of ureteral endometriosis, and remind the clinics to be highly suspicious of it in women of reproductive age with hydronephrosis without evidence of stones and maligna…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the regulation mechanism of estrogen on the free calcium of smooth muscle cells at the endometrial-myometrial interface (EMI) in uteri with adenomyosis. METHODS: From September 2011 to November 2012, 59 uterine my…

OBJECTIVES: This study is to investigate the role and mechanism of microRNA-202 (miR-202) in endometriosis. METHODS: Forty-five cases of ectopic endometrial tissues, 25 cases of eutopic endometrial tissues and 26 cases of normal endometria…

The purpose of this study was to determine the risk stratification of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in patients undergoing gynecological surgery. A retrospective study was conducted with a cohort of 739 consecutive female patients undergoing…

A variety of traditional Chinese medical formulations contain two or more herbs from the same genus or family. Although these herbs may have a similar appearance and constituents, they usually have different pharmacodynamic actions. A serie…

PURPOSE: To determine if etiology of infertility modifies the relationship between the duration of ovarian stimulation and success during assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles. METHODS: A prospectively collected database was analyz…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the ultrastructural features of endometrial-myometrial interface (EMI) of adenomyosis and normal myometrium. METHODS: From May 2010 to September 2013, 102 uterine myometrial specimens were obtained from 102 patients u…

BACKGROUND: Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in women worldwide, often associated with the infection of human papillomavirus (HPV). Toll-like receptor 8 (TLR8), a pattern recognition receptor, is involved in viral nucleic a…

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the influence of mifepristone to caspase 3 expression in adenomyosis tissue. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty patients were equally divided into four groups. Groups 1, 2, and 3 were treated with 5, 10, and 15 mg mifeprist…

PURPOSE: To evaluate the feasibility of enhanced T2 star-weighted angiography (ESWAN) in differentiating endometrial from non-endometrial cysts. METHODS: Forty-nine patients with 60 histopathologically proven ovarian cystic lesions underwe…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the pathogenesis of endometriosis by studying endometriosis coexisting with variable genital tract anomalies and analysis the association between obstructive or non-obstructive anomalies with endometriosis. METHOD…

BACKGROUND: Currently, all the diagnostic indicators for endometriosis lack perfect sensitivity and specificity. According to the characteristic of endometriosis, we analyzed the new biomarker neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the co…
