It is believed that endometrial miRNAs contribute to the aetiology of endometriosis in stem cells; however, the mechanisms remain unclear. Here we collected serum samples from patients with or without endometriosis and characterized the miR…
Environmental hormones play important roles in regulating the expression of genes involved in cell proliferation, drug resistance, and breast cancer risk; however, their precise role in human breast cancer cells during cancer progression re…
OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the role of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) on cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression and invasion of endometrioma-derived ectopic endometrial mesenchymal stem cells (EN-MSCs) and to develop an organoid method to study the invas…
OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the role of endometrial stem-progenitor cells in the etiology of endometriosis and to develop an animal model to study the invasion ability of endometrial cells. DESIGN: Gene expression and cell function studies wer…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the involvement of inflammation in the development of endometriosis. DESIGN: Case-control study to investigate the association between endometriosis and four inflammation-related genes: interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, …
The objective of this study was to compare the results of a modified laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) procedure, using light-endorsed transvaginal section by two puncture trocars, with those of total abdominal hysterect…
A case of endosalpingiosis presented as a multilobular cyst on sonography. The tentative clinical diagnosis was an ovarian tumor; however, laparotomy revealed a degenerative cyst of the uterine myoma with a stalk connecting to the uterus. H…
