Bilateral endometrioma of ovary in a 25-year-old woman with unilateral autoamputation and contralateral torsion of ovary: A case report
Taiwanese journal of obstetrics & gynecology ·doi:10.1016/j.tjog.2024.08.019

OBJECTIVE: We report a unique case of bilateral ovarian endometrioma in a young woman with suspected torsion. To the best of our knowledge, no previous cases of unilateral torsion with contralateral autoamputation of an ovarian endometrioma…

Management of ulcerative colitis in Taiwan: consensus guideline of the Taiwan Society of Inflammatory Bowel Disease updated in 2023.
Intestinal research ·doi:10.5217/ir.2023.00050

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract and is characterized by alternating periods of inflammation and remission. Although UC incidence is lower in Taiwan than in Western countries, its impact remain…

Establishment of the fetal-maternal interface: developmental events in human implantation and placentation.
Frontiers in cell and developmental biology ·doi:10.3389/fcell.2023.1200330

Early pregnancy is a complex and well-orchestrated differentiation process that involves all the cellular elements of the fetal-maternal interface. Aberrant trophoblast-decidual interactions can lead to miscarriage and disorders that occur …

Growth hormone in fertility and infertility: Mechanisms of action and clinical applications.
Frontiers in endocrinology ·doi:10.3389/fendo.2022.1040503

Secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, growth hormone (GH) is a peptide that plays a critical role in regulating cell growth, development, and metabolism in multiple targeted tissues. Studies have shown that GH and its functional recepto…

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…

article 2020
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…

Comparison of robotic surgery and laparoscopy to perform total hysterectomy with pelvic adhesions or large uterus.
Journal of minimal access surgery ·doi:10.4103/0972-9941.147718

BackgroundCurrently, benefits of robotic surgery in patients with benign gynecological conditions remain unclear. In this study, we compared the surgical outcome of robotic and laparoscopic total hysterectomies and evaluated the feasibility…

Effects of maternal and lactational exposure to 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzone on development and reproductive organs in male and female rat offspring.
Birth defects research. Part B, Developmental and reproductive toxicology ·doi:10.1002/bdrb.21137

Background2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone (HMB) is an ultraviolet (UV) absorbing compound used in many cosmetic products as a UV-protecting agent and in plastics for preventing UV-induced photodecomposition. HMB has been detected in over 95…

Matrix remodeling and endometriosis
Reproductive medicine and biology ·doi:10.1111/j.1447-0578.2005.00098.x

The physiological changes in endometriosis involving multiple steps of matrix remodeling include abnormal tissue growth, invasion, and adhesion formation. Endometriosis-associated abnormal matrix remodeling is affected by several molecular …

review 2004
Serum and endometrial markers
Best practice & research. Clinical obstetrics & gynaecology ·doi:10.1016/j.bpobgyn.2004.03.003

Endometriosis is a benign but aggressive disease. It occurs when shed endometrium from the female reproductive tract grows at a site outside the uterus. The physiological changes in endometriosis-abnormal tissue growth, invasion, and adhesi…
