This study investigated the induction of epithelial-mesenchymal transition in the endometrium among infertile patients with chronic endometritis. Researchers initially enrolled 97 participants but excluded 31 individuals due to confounding conditions such as endocrine disorders, uterine malformations, hydrosalpinx, submucous myomas, endometrial polyps, or antibiotic use. The final analysis included 66 patients, identifying chronic endometritis in 35 of them. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Out of these, 8 patients with endocrine and autoimmune diseases, 2 patients with uterine malformation, 3 patients with hydrosalpinx, 2 patients with submucous myoma, 1 patient with adenomyosis and 7 patients with endometrial polyps were excluded. Eight patients were excluded because of usage of antibiotics. As a result, 31 patients were excluded and 66 patients were included in the present study. CE was identified in 35 of 66 patients.
