The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of physical examination, transvaginal sonography, magnetic resonance imaging, and rectal endoscopic sonography for the identification of rectovaginal endometriosis and potential rectal …

Silencing of cofilin-1 gene attenuates biological behaviours of stromal cells derived from eutopic endometria of women with endometriosis

BACKGROUND: Key roles for epigenetic mechanisms in tumorigenesis are well accepted, while the relationship between gene methylation and malignant transformation of ovarian endometriosis (EMS) was seldom reported. In this study, we aimed to …

Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is well known to induce proliferation in variety of cells. The aim of this study was to investigate whether there is a correlation between the expression of Cofilin-1 (CFL1) and the proliferation of eut…

BACKGROUND: Accumulated evidence reveals that abnormally expressed genes in eutopic endometrium of endometriosis play a critical role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. AIMS: Identification of endometriosis-related genes for further reve…

BACKGROUND: Eutopic endometria with endometriosis (EMs) differ dramatically from normal endometria, physiologically and biochemically, yet the pathogenesis of EMs remains unclear. Cofilin-1 (CFL1), a critical modulator of the actin cystoske…

Objective To approach the best method for primary culture of human eutopic endometrial stromal cells.Methods Eutopic endometrial tissues of 40 endometriosis patients(20 in proliferative phase,20 in secretory) were divided into 4 groups.The …

Objective: To measure the changes of cytokine RANTES concentrations in peritoneal fluid of patients with endometriosis,and to explore the role of this cytokine in the pathogenesis of endometriosis.Methods: The RANTES concentrations in perit…
