PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the regional spontaneous brain activity changes in primary dysmenorrhea (PD) patients in different phases of the menstrual cycle by regional homogeneity (ReHo) analysis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Thirty…

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an epidemic metabolic condition driven by an underlying lipid homeostasis disorder. The lipid droplet (LD), the main organelle involved in neutral lipid storage and hydrolysis, is a potential tar…

Objective: To investigate the related factors on effects of uterine artery embolization(UAE)in the treatment of dysmenorrhea in patients with adenomyosis, and to construct and validate the efficacy prediction model. Methods: A total of 127 …

PURPOSE: To investigate whether postoperative GnRH agonist (GnRH-a) treatment can prevent endometriosis recurrence. METHODS: This meta-analysis searched PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library for relevant studies published online before June …

Cancer is currently one of the leading causes of death worldwide and is one of the most challenging major public health problems. The main challenges faced by clinicians in the management and treatment of cancer mainly arise from difficulti…

BACKGROUND: To identify the level of periostin in serum and peritoneal washing fluids (PWF) from women with and without endometriosis, as well as to explore the potential of periostin as a biomarker of endometriosis. METHODS: Samples were …

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether emodin facilitates the mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) as well as to explore the mechanism through which emodin favored the MET of ESCs. METHODS: Cell viability wa…

PURPOSE: To study the therapeutic effects of uterine artery embolization (UAE) on adenomyosis and to investigate the association between uterine blood supply and artery embolization treatment outcomes. METHODS: Using digital subtraction an…

Primary dysmenorrhea (PDM), a significant public health problem for adolescents and young women, is characterized by painful menstrual cramps. Recent neuroimaging studies have revealed that brain functional and structural abnormalities are …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate expression of ILKAP among women with endometriosis and its association with clinical characteristics. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted at a center in China in 2012, using samples of ectopic (n=55) and …

OBJECTIVE: To identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in endometriosis and further analyze molecular mechanisms implicated in disease pathogenesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Gene expression data (ID: GSE7846) of human endometrial endot…

Although our previous study confirmed that periostin (PN) was overexpressed in the eutopic and ectopic endometrial stroma of women with endometriosis by immunohistochemitry, the role of PN in the pathophysiology of endometriosis remains unk…

PURPOSES: Embryo quality is associated with successful implantation and live births. Our retrospective study was carried out to determine whether or not cleavage stage embryo quality affects the miscarriage rate, pregnancy complications and…

Splenic metastasis of ovarian cancer appears to be more common in serous cystadenocarcinomas. Splenic metastasis usually occurs postoperatively and simultaneously with dissemination to the greater omentum and pelvic cavity. Compared with ot…

OBJECTIVE(S): To investigate the expression of periostin in the eutopic and ectopic endometrium of women diagnosed as endometriosis and evaluate the role of periostin in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. STUDY DESIGN: In this study, the e…

BACKGROUND: According to extensive epidemiologic data, infertility is associated with increased ovarian cancer risk. Previous studies showed that both women with infertility and those with ovarian cancer have autoantibodies to ovarian antig…

BACKGROUND: To determine the effect of higher progesterone (P) level on endometrial receptivity. METHODS: This was a prospective analysis conducted in the Reproductive Medical Center of Peking University Third Hospital. All patients receiv…

The HE4 protein is overexpressed in ovarian carcinomas and can be detected in serum by an ELISA with sensitivity similar to CA125 and higher specificity for malignant disease. We now demonstrate that HE4 can also be detected in the urine at…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the value of transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy (THL) in infertile women with abnormal hysterosalpingogram results but with no history of previous pelvic surgery and with normal gynecological examination and vaginal sonogr…

It was the objective of this study to construct a model of the uterine vascular supply through vascular casting and thin slice computed tomography scanning. This will provide a teaching aide for the understanding of uterine artery embolizat…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of luteinized unruptured follicle (LUF) cycles on frozen thawed embryo transfer (FET). DESIGN: A retrospective analysis comparing the clinical outcomes after FET among 144 cases of luteinized unruptured f…

PURPOSE: To explore the prevalence, predictor of clinical pregnancy and possible aetiology of poor ovarian response (POR) in in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in Chinese. METHODS: A total of 4,600 retrieval oocyte cycles were…

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the relevance between the effect on dysmenorrhea of uterine artery embolization (UAE) in treatment of adenomyosis (AM) in different periods of the menstrual cycle and the time of the operation. METHODS: Totally 225 ca…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of a 2-month treatment with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist prior to in-vitro fertilization in Chinese women with moderate or severe endometriosis. METHODS: A study of 162 women surgicall…
