As a classic type I cytokine, interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) is known to manifest a miscarriage-inducing effect, although the specific mechanism is still unclear. To determine whether immune cells such as regulatory T (Treg) and Th17 cells are in…
BACKGROUND: Intravenous leiomyomatosis is a rare, benign, smooth muscle tumor originating in the uterus that may extend through the inferior vena cava into the heart. Intracardiac leiomyomatosis (ICL), present in 10% of patients with intrav…
UNLABELLED: Natural killer (NK)/T cell lymphoma of the female genital tract is extremely rare. We here report a case of 'nasal type' NK/T cell lymphoma arising in the uterus with adenomyosis in a 41-year-old woman with fever and hypogastral…
Inter-rater reliability is usually assessed by means of the intraclass correlation coefficient. Using two-way analysis of variance to model raters and subjects as random effects, we derive group sequential testing procedures for the design …
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…
BackgroundSeveral different microarray platforms are available for measuring gene expression. There are disagreements within the microarray scientific community for intra- and inter-platform consistency of these platforms. Both high and low…
OBJECTIVE: To determine the pro-resolution actions of 15-R-LXA(4) (LXA(4)) on endometriotic lesions and on the expression of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in the murine endometriosis model. STUDY …
PURPOSE: This study investigated whether the association between passive smoking exposure and primary dysmenorrhea is modified by two susceptibility genes, cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1)MspI and CYP1A1HincII. METHODS: We recruited 1645 femal…
OBJECTIVE: This study investigated whether the association between passive smoking exposure and dysmenorrhea is modified by two susceptibility genes, CYP1A1MspI and CYP1A1HincII. METHODS: This report includes 1645 (1124 no dysmenorrhea, 52…
