Endometriosis is a debilitating, chronic inflammatory disease affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-age women worldwide with no cure. While macrophages have been intrinsically linked to the pathophysiology of endometriosis, targeting …
Abstract Severe endometrium damage causes pathological conditions such as thin endometrium and intrauterine adhesion, resulting in uterine factor infertility. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy is a promising strategy in endometrial repair…
BackgroundChronic low-grade inflammation and ovarian germline stem cells (OGSCs) aging are important reasons for the decline of ovarian reserve function, resulting in ovarian aging and infertility. Regulation of chronic inflammation is expe…
Studies have shown that the occurrence and development of endometriosis are closely linked to long-term psychological stress. The specific contribution of chronic stress to the metabolic adaptations in patients with endometriosis is still u…
Objective To assess the safety and clinical efficacy of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) combined with gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRH-a), hysteroscopic surgery (hysteroscopic resection of adenomyosis and endometrial a…
BACKGROUND: The aim of the study is to investigate the proportion and clinical features of previous spontaneously ruptured ovarian endometrioma among women who underwent elective surgery for endometrioma. METHODS: This retrospective study …
The purpose of this study was to implore the association among clinical features, long-term fertility outcomes and the anatomical location of adenomyosis identified by ultrasound. We collected data of non-pregnant patients between 20 and 40…
IntroductionBreast cancer is the most common malignancy among women. Previous studies had shown that hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection might serve as a risk factor for breast cancer, while some studies failed to find such an association.Met…
RationaleMayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKH syndrome) present with genital inguinal hernia was rare and probably under reported, on account of lack in typical gynecological symptom. It should be regarded with care.Here 3 cases di…
Endometriosis (EM) is a prevalent and debilitating gynecological disorder primarily affecting women of reproductive age. The diagnosis of EM is historically hampered by delays, owing to the absence of reliable diagnostic and monitoring tech…
Uterine leiomyomas are smooth-muscle tumors originating in the myometrium and are the most common pelvic tumors in women of reproductive age. Symptomatic tumors may result in abnormal uterine bleeding, bladder dysfunction, pelvic discomfort…
BACKGROUND: When ovarian endometrioma coexist with adenomyosis, the risk of postoperative recurrence increased. How is the effect of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) on symptomatic recurrence for those patients was unk…
BACKGROUND: This retrospective study evaluated the clinical features of perineal endometriosis (PEM) and established a prognostic nomogram for recurrence probability in patients treated with surgical resection. METHODS: This study enrolled…
BACKGROUND: To examine and compare the differences in clinical characteristics and long-term postoperative outcomes of ovarian endometriomas (OMA) patients with and without dysmenorrhea, including data from at least 8 years of postoperative…
RATIONALE: Intramural ectopic pregnancy (IMP) is a rare ectopic pregnancy with an unclear etiology, and standard treatment guidelines currently remain unclear. The main treatment option is local excision of IMP via laparoscopy or laparotomy…
BACKGROUND: Abdominal wall endometriosis(AWE)is an unusual extra-pelvic endometriosis. Currently, multiple treatment modalities are available, but no clear guidelines exist for the management of large AWE. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We present…
AIMS: To compare efficacy and safety of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) with systemic medication or blank control in the treatment of dysmenorrhea. METHODS: PubMed, EMBASE, the China National Knowledge Infrastruc…
Background: Adenomyosis (AM) is a common benign gynaecologic disease characterized by dysmenorrhea and heavy menstrual bleeding and requires for long-term management. Levonorgestrel - releasing Intrauterine System (LNG-IUS) is a long-acting…
The outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF) for endometriotic women are significantly worse than for patients without ovarian endometriosis (OEM), as shown by fewer retrieved oocytes. However, the exact pathophysiological mechanism is stil…
OBJECTIVE: To review the use of oral gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists and synthesize their efficacy and safety parameters for the treatment of endometriosis-associated pain. DESIGN: Systematic review and network meta-analy…
The cause of endometriosis, which is characterized by the existence of functional endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, is poorly understood. Seminal plasma (SP) is rich in multiple cytokines that may promote endometrial tissue sur…
PurposeTo classify abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) according to the invasive levels of tissue mass, and to compare the differences in clinical characteristics between different types of AWE.MethodsIn this study, we retrospectively analyz…
PurposeTo compare the performance of 3D MRU based on a breath-hold gradient- and spin-echo (BH-GRASE) technique with conventional 3D respiratory-triggered FSE (RT-FSE) sequence in patients with urinary tract dilation.MethodsWe prospectively…
