BackgroundAn increasing body of evidence indicates that exposure to metal elements may adversely affect female fertility. While the association between metal concentrations in the follicular fluid (FF) and fertility is acknowledged, the rel…

BackgroundCervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) exhibits profound spatial heterogeneity in evolutionary trajectories across distinct tumour foci, yet the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.MethodsIn this study, we performed an…

The global decline in fertility rates has intensified the reliance on assisted reproductive technology (ART) for infertility treatment. Antioxidant supplementation, particularly with coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), has gained prominence as a therapeu…

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.), also known as Honghua, blueflower, or prickly safflower, is a medicinal herb effective in promoting blood circulation, dredging meridians, eliminating blood stasis, and relieving pain. Safflower contains…

Endometriosis affects over 190 million women globally, and effective therapies are urgently needed to address the burden of endometriosis on women's health. Using an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven target discovery platform, two unrepor…

Luteolin is a kind of natural flavonoid, widely existing in a variety of plants, has been revealed to have a wide range of biological activities. In recent years, the research results of luteolin are abundant. Here we review the latest rese…

Objective: We aim to identify the crucial genes or potential biomarkers associated with uterine fibroids (UFs), which may provide clinicians with evidence about the diagnostic biomarker of UFs and reveal the mechanism of its progression. Me…

In clinical practice, ovarian pregnancy is extremely rare and is always found to be ruptured. A definitive diagnosis for ruptured ovarian pregnancy is difficult to obtain. We present two cases of unruptured ovarian pregnancies detected duri…

Malignant transformation of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) is rare. The clinical characteristics and treatment of malignant transformation of AWE are not well known. Therefore, in this review, we performed a thorough search for malignan…

BackgroundPrimary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC) is a malignant tumor of the female genital tract that mostly presents intraperitoneal dissemination in clinical practice. The incidence of upper anterior mediastinal metastasis in PFTCs is e…

PURPOSE: A previous study found that a lack of SPOCK2 expression was an early event that occurs during the malignant transformation of endometriosis (EMS); however, the role played by SPOCK2 in the pathogenesis of endometriosis and its mali…

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate whether there was a correlation between the expression of GATA binding protein 3 (GATA-3) and the proliferation of endometrium cells from women with endometriosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Endometri…

BACKGROUND: Key roles for epigenetic mechanisms in tumorigenesis are well accepted, while the relationship between gene methylation and malignant transformation of ovarian endometriosis (EMS) was seldom reported. In this study, we aimed to …

This study aimed to induce malignant transformation of endometriosis in Sprague-Dawley rats by hyperestrogenemia and type II diabetes and evaluate its similarity with human disease in biological features. Rats with surgically induced endome…

The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of epigenetic inactivation of the runt-related transcription factor 3 gene (RUNX3) in the malignant transformation of ovarian endometriosis. Samples obtained by microdissection and sc…

To detect the high-frequency loss of heterozygosity (LOH) chromosome regions for ectopic endometrium of ovarian endometriosis (EMs) and to investigate the significance of high-frequency LOH chromosome regions in EMs, we obtained ectopic end…

BACKGROUND: Accumulated evidence reveals that cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) was overexpressed in eutopic endometrium of endometriosis, which may play a critical role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. However, few studies have been performed …

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the expression of T-box expressed in T cells (T-bet) and GATA binding protein 3 (GATA-3) in the eutopic endometrium from women with endometriosis. Endometrial tissues were collected from 20…

PurposeTo investigate the role of epigenetic inactivation of hMLH1 during the malignant transformation of ovarian endometriosis (EMs), and to explore the relationship between the epigenetic inactivation of hMLH1 in eutopic endometria and th…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate epigenetic inactivation of SPOCK2 gene in the malignant transformation of ovarian endometriosis (EM) by comparing the methylation status and protein expression of SPOCK2 gene in the malignant tissues, ectopic endom…
