OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of nerve growth factor (NGF) in the ectopic endometrium in adenomyosis patients, and explore the relationship between NGF expression and innervation or pain scales. METHODS: From Mar. 2009 to Oct. 2…
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common reproductive endocrinology disease, however, an explicit etiology is not known. Insulin resistance (IR) appears to be central to the pathogenesis of PCOS and inflammation may be significant in th…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and clinical outcomes of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET) cycles in patients with endometriosis. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the data of …
We reported a rare case of acute disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) after dilation and curettage in an adenomyosis and missed abortion patient. The clinical performance improved after treatment with tranexamic acid, blood transfus…
Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX) plays important roles in cardiac electrical activity and calcium homeostasis. NCX current (I(NCX)) shows transmural gradient across left ventricle in many species. Previous studies demonstrated that NCX expressi…
OBJECTIVE: To compare angiopoiesis ability of eutopic and ectopic endometrial tissue isolated from women with endometriosis and endometrium isolated from women without endometriosis (control), and to explore the inhibitory effects of medica…
BACKGROUND: p53 tumour suppressor gene Arg72Pro polymorphism has been associated with endometriosis. However, the current available data were inconsistent. We performed this meta-analysis to estimate the association between p53 Arg72Pro pol…
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…
Studies in humans and rodents suggest that colon inflammation promotes urinary bladder hypersensitivity and, conversely, that cystitis contributes to colon hypersensitivity, events referred to as cross-organ sensitization. To investigate a …
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Ovarian endometriosis is a common and benign, but progressive disease. We aimed to investigate the clinicopathologic of ovarian endometriosis with malignant transformation and to evaluate the expression differences o…
