BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a challenging disease with symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and infertility. However, its etiology is still vague and there is still no effective markers or treatment. This study aimed to profile the circular RNAs …

OBJECTIVE: To study the relationship between the clinic-pathological features and pain symptoms in patients with endometriotic cyst (EM). METHODS: The medical data of symptoms, laparoscopy and pathology examination in 416 patients with endo…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a controversial and enigmatic disease. Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is responsible for painful symptoms and is the least understood type of endometriosis. Little work has been devoted to define the loca…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) on the expression mRNA of nerve growth factor (NGF) and its receptors (TrkA and P75NTR) in normal and eutopic endometrial stromal cells (ESC). METHOD…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate clinicopathological characteristics of recurrent endometriosis and outcomes of secondary surgery. METHODS: From Jan. 2003 to Dec. 2008, 69 cases with recurrent endometriosis operated by the same senior gynecologist…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the characteristics of the anatomical distribution of posterior deeply infiltrating endometriosis (PDIE) lesions, pain symptoms and effects of laparoscopic surgery. METHODS: Clinical data of 176 PDIE patients with …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between the distribution of nerve fibers in multiple endometriosis lesions and pelvic pain. METHODS: From Sept. 2007 to Sept. 2008, 120 endometriosis patients treated in Peking Union Hospital were …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between degree of endometrioma adhesions and clinical feature, surgical treatment and postoperative recurrence. METHODS: From Jan 2003 to Mar 2008, 662 patients with endometrioma undergoing laparos…

OBJECTIVE: To study the relationship between pain symptoms and the clinico-pathological features of pelvic endometriosis (EM). METHODS: One hundred thirty patients with laparoscopic diagnosis of EM were studied retrospectively and the relat…
