OBJECTIVE: To examine and analyze the expression of estrogen receptor-α (ERα) in myometrium of endometrial-myometria interface (EMI) of adenomyosis and normal myometrium and explore the pathogenesis of adenomyosis (ADS). METHODS: The myome…
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…
BACKGROUND: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) constitutes more than 90% of ovarian cancers and is associated with high mortality. EOC comprises a heterogeneous group of tumours, and the causes and molecular pathology are essentially unknown. …
Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological cancer. Estrogen-dependent endometrioid carcinoma is the most common type of endometrial cancer, and alterations in the expression of PTEN and K-ras have been associated with this disease.…
PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety and therapeutic efficacy of ultrasound (US)-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation for the treatment of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-one consecutive pat…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of Sanlengwan (SLW) on adhesion molecules expression and the accretion in ectopic endometrium of rats. METHOD: Endometriosis was established by surgical implant of endometrial tissue which belong to its bod…
The transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the upper urinary tract is relatively uncommon. The clinical presentation of TCCs and many other diseases of the upper urinary tract are nonspecific, and most of these lesions are usually necessary t…
OBJECTIVE: To determine the polymorphism in +252 site of tumor necrosis factor-beta(TNF-beta) gene in patients with or without endometriosis, to evaluate the levels of TNF-alpha and TNF-beta in the serum with or without endometriosis, to ex…
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether endometrial expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) or inducible NOS (iNOS) protein in women with endometriosis-associated infertility is different from that in the fertile controls, whether Gn…
BACKGROUND: The disruption of intercellular adhesions is an important component of the acquisition of invasive properties in epithelial malignancies. Alterations in the cell-cell adhesion complex, E-Cadherin/beta-Catenin, have been implicat…
It is believed that ovarian endometriosis may be generated by a celomic metaplastic process from existing epithelium in the ovary. However, no morphologic evidence of metaplastic process has been described. In this study, we intended to ide…
OBJECTIVE: To identify the possible risk factors of endometriosis in Chengdu. METHODS: A hospital-based pair matched case-control study was carried out in 100 pair of female patients with endometriosis and their controls. The data were ana…
OBJECTIVE: To assess the clinical efficacy of uterine arterial embolization (UAE) in the treatment of adenomyosis. METHODS: UAE procedures were performed in 23 patients with adenomyosis. Two 3.0 F FASTRACKER-325 tubes were placed into bila…
