Abstract BackgroundPlasma microRNAs are considered to be potential diagnostic biomarkers for endometriosis. Increasing evidence has shown that a huge amount of miRNAs are abnormally expressed in endometriosis plasma and play irreplaceable r…
子宫内膜异位症是一种常见的妇科疾病,发生在约10%的生育期妇女。通常局限于盆腔,卵巢最常见,但异位组织有时也可生长在其他部位,如剖宫产术后的腹部瘢痕、消化道、泌尿生殖道,甚至胸腔和肺。真正发生在肺实质的子宫内膜异位症却少见。肺子宫内膜异位症可导致月经期咯血,通常在症状出现后几个月后才能确诊。组织学特征是诊断的关键。该文报道1例因消化系统症状入院,影像学检查发现肺结节影,而无任何呼吸系统症状的肺子宫内膜异位症,探讨其临床病理特征,以提高对该疾病的认识。.
Abstract Background: Endometriosis is a complex disease in the field of gynecology that has certain limitations for its interim treatment. Resveratrol has been recently used for the treatment of endometriosis in experimental and clinical s…
Recently, a growing body of evidence has suggested that abnormal ovarian angiogenesis, secondary to the imbalance between various angiogenic markers, is involved in the pathogenesis of PCOS, and this has led to the use of various interventi…
BACKGROUND: Incarceration of the gravid uterus is a rare obstetric disorder that contributes to pregnancy-related complications. To understand its clinical characteristics and managements, we have reviewed the etiology, risk factors, clinic…
Plasma microRNAs are considered to be potential diagnostic biomarkers for endometriosis. Increasing evidence has shown that a huge amount of miRNAs are abnormally expressed in endometriosis plasma and play irreplaceable roles in diagnosis. …
Objectives To identify factors predicting maternal sex steroid hormone concentrations in early pregnancy. Methods The Infant Development and the Environment Study recruited healthy pregnant women from academic medical centers in four US cit…
Immunologic disorder has been reported to promote the progression of endometriosis (EMT). It has been known that myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) drive the progression of many types of diseases. Few studies have shown the relation b…
Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) occurs in up to 50% of individuals after surgeries and 32% after hysterectomy, leading to major adverse effects on quality of life and socioeconomic burden. Little is known about whether and how large-scale …
We aimed to validate the prognostic association of p16 expression in ovarian high-grade serous carcinomas (HGSC) and to explore it in other ovarian carcinoma histotypes. p16 protein expression was assessed by clinical-grade immunohistochemi…
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies have clarified the potential associations between regular aspirin use and cancers. However, it remains controversial on whether aspirin use decreases the risk of cancers risks. Therefore, we conducted an …
Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is postulated to be a prerequisite for the establishment of endometriosis (EMS), a common reproductive disorder in women. Our previous studies have demonstrated the elevated expression of transmemb…
BACKGROUND This randomized, controlled trial was designed to assess whether acupuncture plus an oral administration of Chinese herbal medicine provides greater relief of symptoms than oral administration of Chinese herbal medicine alone for…
The present study investigated the effects of endometrial stem cell (EnSCs) transplantation combined with estrogen in the repair of endometrial injury. A total of 30 patients with intrauterine adhesions (IUA) and 30 healthy individuals were…
The present study aimed to screen natural products with anti-angiogenic potential from the Natural Products Collection of MicroSource. The anti-angiogenic activity of 240 natural products was assessed using the zebrafish line Tg(fli1a: EGFP…
RATIONALE: Malignant mixed Müllerian tumor (MMMT) of extragenital organs is rare, especially in male. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of primary MMMT at the mediastinum in male. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 54-year-old male was ad…
Qu-Yu-Jie-Du decoction (QYJD) is a commercially available traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It is an aqueous extract of a Chinese herbal formula primarily consisting of eight TCM herbs: Taraxacum campylodes G.E. Haglund, Coix lacryma-jobi…
CD147 null mutant male mice are infertile with arrested spermatogenesis and increased apoptotic germ cells. Our previous studies have shown that CD147 prevents apoptosis in mouse spermatocytes but not spermatogonia. However, the underlying …
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Only recently has it become clear that epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is comprised of such distinct histotypes--with different cells of origin, morphology, molecular features, epidemiologic factors, clinical features, an…
Gene fusions play a critical role in some cancers and can serve as important clinical targets. In epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), the contribution of fusions, especially by histological type, is unclear. We therefore screened for recurrent…
AIM: To compare the therapeutic effect of 1.88-mg and 3.75-mg gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) in the treatment of stage III-IV endometriosis after laparoscopic surgery. METHODS: Fifty patients with stage III-IV endometriosi…
Estrogen and progesterone coupled with locally produced signaling molecules are essential for embryo implantation. However, the hierarchical landscape of the molecular pathways that governs this process remains largely unexplored. Here we s…
BACKGROUND/AIMS: We investigated the role of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in the endometrium of unexplained infertility (UI) patients, and effect of anandamide (AEA) on leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF). METHODS: Patients were divided i…
Endometriotic tissues exhibit high migration ability with the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Our previous studies have demonstrated that cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) acts as a tumor suppressor regulating…
