Endometriosis is a benign gynecological disease. Accumulating evidence has revealed the participation of dysregulated miRNAs in the progression of endometriosis. Here, the function and molecular mechanism of miR-143-3p in endometriosis were…

AIM: The aim of this meta-synthesis was to identify and synthesize qualitative research evaluating the real feelings, inner needs and emotional experience of women undergoing hysterectomy. DESIGN: Meta-synthesis. METHODS: The PubMed, Web …

Abstract Background: The presence of ectopic functional endometrial glands and stroma in the myometrium of the uterine cavity is considered as adenomyosis. Various inflammatory, vascular and mechanical factors are involved in the symptoms …

INTRODUCTION: Uterine leiomyoma (UL) is a common benign pelvic tumor in women that has a high recurrence rate. Our aim is to propose a prognostic index (PI) model for predicting the long-term recurrence risk of uterine leiomyoma (UL). METH…

Abstract BackgroundTo determine whether Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist down regulation combined with hormone replacement treatment (HRT) can improve the reproductive outcomes in the frozen thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycle o…

Abstract Objective: Our objective was to investigate the upregulated expression of ribonucleotide reductase M2 (RRM2) in the ectopic endometrium (EC) of ovarian endometriosis (OE) patients that may indicate malignant transformation. RRM2 ma…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether patients with a history of recurrent implantation failure (RIF) are associated with adverse perinatal outcomes in singleton live births following frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles. DESIGN: Retrosp…

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the clinical and pathological characteristics, and the recurrence and prognostic factors of borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs). METHODS: The data of 286 patients admitted to hospital and followed u…

INTRODUCTION: A large number of epidemiological studies have revealed that women with endometriosis (EMS) have a higher risk of developing endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC). At present, there are few studies on predicting the m…

Endometriosis (EMs) is an estrogen (E2)-dependent inflammatory disorder. Although EMs is considered a benign disease, it presents with malignant characteristics, such as migration and invasion. An increasing number of studies have shown tha…

OBJECTIVE: Energy metabolism abnormality is the hallmark in epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC). This study aimed to investigate energy metabolism pathway alterations and their regulation by the antiparasite drug ivermectin in EOC for the di…

Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is a pathological condition of the placenta with abnormal adhesion or invasion of the placental villi to the uterine wall, which is associated with a variety of adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. Although s…

Endometriosis is an oestrogen-dependent disease, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is involved in the process of endometriosis. Whether oestrogen could induce EMT in endometriosis remains largely unknown. Here, we reported that up…

Adenomyosis is frequently observed in premenopausal women, and oral dienogest is the recommended treatment to target the underlying pathology and improve the symptoms. This retrospective study investigated the association of Lewis (b) antig…

RELEVANCE: Molecular network changes are the hallmark of the pathogenesis of ovarian cancers (OCs). Network-based biomarkers benefit for the effective treatment of OC. PURPOSE: This study sought to identify key pathway-network alterations …

Endometriosis is a benign gynecologic disorder, and presents with malignant characteristics, such as migration and invasion. Hypoxia has been implicated in triggering epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Hypoxia is also known to induce …

BACKGROUND: The large-conductance, voltage-gated, calcium (Ca (2+))-activated potassium channel (BKCa) plays an important role in regulating Ca (2+) signaling and cell physiological function, and is aberrantly expressed in some types of can…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent benign gynecological disease that shares some common features of malignancy. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been recognized as a core mechanism of endometriosis. MALAT1 is widely known as …

Oestrogen has been reported to control the invasiveness of endometrial stromal cells in endometriosis. Notch signalling, a master regulator of cell invasion in tumours, is regulated by oestrogen in other diseases and hyperactivated in endom…

BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer deaths in women worldwide. LncRNACCAT1 was reported to play a critical role in cell metastasis of ovarian cancer. However, little is known about the detailed mechanism of how C…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER, also known as GPR30 and GPER1) stabilizes hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) in eutopic endometrium (EuEM) of endometriosis. DESIGN: Immunohistochemical analysi…

Endometriosis is a benign gynecological disease that shares some characteristics with malignancy like migration and invasion. It has been reported that both hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and autophagy were upregulated in ectopic endo…

STUDY QUESTION: How does hypoxia promote growth of lesions in the development of endometriosis? SUMMARY ANSWER: Hypoxia induces the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of endometrial cells, resulting in changes in cellular characterist…

Extracellular matrix remodeling is necessary for ectopic endometrium implantation. Many studies have shown an increased expression of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) in the ectopic endometrium of endometriosis. However, the signaling path…

Guizhi Fuling capsule is a traditional Chinese medicine composed of five kinds of medicinal plants, Cinnamomi Ramulus, Poria, Moutan Cortex, Persicae Semen, and Paeoniae Radix Alba. Pharmacology studies have shown that Guizhi Fuling capsule…
