CONTEXT: Steroidogenic factor (SF)-1 and its downstream target genes involved in estrogen signaling are aberrantly expressed in ovarian endometriosis. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to explore the microRNA-mediated mechanism controlling aber…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Puerarin, a phytoestrogen with a weak estrogenic effect, binds to estrogen receptors, thereby competing with 17β-estradiol and producing an anti-estrogenic effect. In our early clinical practice to treat endometri…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression and role of oxidative stress markers in the serum and follicular fluid of patients with endometriosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective case-control study was conducted in 42 patients who underw…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of Chinese medicine (CM) and Western medicine (WM) on quality of life (QOL) after conservative surgery for endometriosis. METHODS: A total of 320 patients with endometriosis were randomized into two gro…

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of surgical intervention on the expression of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and L-selectin ligand in the endometrium of patients with hydrosalpinx during the implantation window. A tota…

To investigate the clinical importance of increased integrin αvβ3 expression in the endometrium following the surgical treatment for hydrosalpinx, a total of 60 patients with hydrosalpinx and 30 patients with fallopian tube obstruction were…

Phytoestrogens, which have a weak estrogenic effect, bind to estrogen receptors (ERs), thereby competing with estradiol, have an antiestrogenic effect on women of reproductive age with high estrogenic level. Herein, we examined the ability …

PURPOSE: To test the feasibility of MRI-guided high intensity focused ultrasound ablation for adenomyosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with symptomatic adenomyosis were treated with MRI-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (MRIgHIF…

Glaucoma is a family of diseases whose pathology is defined by the progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells. Clinically, glaucoma presents as a distinctive optic neuropathy with associated visual field loss. Primary open-angle glaucoma (P…

BACKGROUND: Puerarin, a phytoestrogen with a weak estrogenic effect, binds to estrogen receptors, thereby competing with 17β-estradiol (E2) and producing an anti-estrogenic effect. This study was to investigate whether puerarin could suppre…

The experimental animal models as a xenographic host of induced endometriosis for relative biological behavior study of endometriosis have been developed and are of high value for the evaluation of the etiopathogenisis,pathogenesis and ther…

Human genome-wide association studies have linked single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on chromosome 9p21.3 near the INK4/ARF (CDKN2a/b) locus with susceptibility to atherosclerotic vascular disease (ASVD). Although this locus encodes thr…

The majority of women diagnosed with epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) succumb due to complications of metastatic disease, suggesting that antimetastatic therapies may improve patient survival. EOC metastasis involves intraperitoneal shedd…

Cell proliferation of endometrial stromal cells treated with peritoneal fluid of women (aged 25 to 43 years) with endometriosis (n = 12) statistically significantly increased compared with the control treatment (peritoneal fluid of women wi…

The aim of this study was to screen genes related to the development and injury of the mouse optic nerve so as to provide possible target genes for gene-engineering therapy of central nervous system (CNS) injury. Gene expression was profile…

Polyps from the endometrium is a common cause of abnormal uterine bleeding and sometimes cause infertility and pelvic pain. The objective of this study was to measure the expression of hormone receptors (oestrogen receptor and progesterone …

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the causes and clinical significance of conversion to laparotomy during laparoscopic surgery. METHOD: Three thousand two hundred and three cases who underwent laparoscopic surgery during the past five years were analy…

Endometriosis is a poorly understood, estradiol-dependent condition associated with severe pelvic pains and defined by vascularized endometrial growths outside the uterus. Endometriosis is produced in cycling rats by autotransplanting piece…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the relative factors influencing the recurrence of endometriosis. METHODS: Three hundred and fifty-six patients of endometriosis were treated with surgery and then followed up for 3 years. Seventy-five recurrent cases…

In order to investigate the mechanism of elevated vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in peritoneal fluids from patients with endometriosis, macrophages were recovered from peritoneal fluids obtained at the time of diagnostic laparosc…

In order to study the angiogenesis in endometriosis, the samples of eutopic and ectopic endometria from patients with endometriosis were quantitatively analyzed by color morphometric image system (CMIS) for vascular surface area, and by exa…

In order to evaluate the expression of HLA-DR antigen in glandular cells in eutopic and ectopic endometrium in patients with endometriosis, 19 infertile patients with endometriosis were analyzed immunohistochemically by labelled streptavidi…

In order to evaluate the changes of lipid perioxides (LPO) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels in peritoneal fluid in patients with endometriosis, the levels of LPO and SOD in peritoneal fluids from infertile women with endometriosis and …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correlation of endometriotic focus and peritoneal fluid as well as its effect on reproduction. METHODS: Forty-three women with surgical treatment or laproscope with infertility are divided into endometriosis g…

To study the changes of cytokines in peritoneal fluids of patients with endometriosis and their effects on reproductive activity, levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) in peritoneal fluids and peritoneal macrophages…
