BACKGROUND: Because of the rarity of endometrioid borderline ovarian tumours (EBOTs), there is a paucity of data concerning the natural history and prognosis of this condition. Thus, the objective of our study was to establish the feasibili…
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases, although their expression pattern and role in endometriosis remains unknown. Therefore, here, we profiled the expression patterns of circRNAs in ovarian ectopic and…

Objective: To investigate the changes of mestruation patterns and adverse effects during the treatment of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system(LNG-IUS)for symptomatic adenomyosis in a prospective cohort study. Methods: From December…
OBJECTIVE: To profile the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) expression patterns in ovarian ectopic endometrial tissue compared with paired eutopic endometrial tissue. DESIGN: Genome-wide expression analysis of human tissue. SETTING: University …
Endometriosis, characterized by endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, is a frequently occurred benign gynecologic disease that afflicts mainly women of reproductive age, with a prevalence of 6% to 10%. Endometriosis can be subdivided …
OBJECTIVE: The issue of female sexual function is often overlooked in women with endometriosis, especially in mainland China. The objectives of this study were to estimate the prevalence and associated factors of female sexual dysfunction i…
Endometriosis has critical implications for women's quality of life. However, an overview of the current knowledge of this issue is limited. The objective of this systematic review was to determine the extent of endometriosis and its treatm…
STUDY QUESTION: Can plasma microRNAs be used as a non-invasive diagnostic test for the detection of endometriosis? SUMMARY ANSWER: Plasma miR-17-5p, miR-20a and miR-22 are down-regulated in women with endometriosis compared with those with…
STUDY QUESTION: What are the psychometric properties in mainland China of the 30-item Endometriosis Health Profile (EHP-30) translated into simplified Chinese? SUMMARY ANSWER: The simplified Chinese version of the EHP-30 is a valid, reliab…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β and Smad pathway expressed in adhesion peritoneums in patients with endometriosis (EM). METHODS: From Dec. 2009 to Mar. 2010, 11 patients with EM [including 3 p…
