An observational cross-sectional study was conducted in a group (n = 371) of fertile age women with endometriosis, by administering a structured questionnaire, in order to evaluate the incidence of gynecological and systemic comorbidities a…
Adhesion is a postoperative complication that has plagued gynecologists for many years, as 60-90% of gynecological patients develop adhesions after abdominopelvic surgeries. Abdominopelvic adhesions could lead to chronic pelvic pain, infert…
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate the safety, efficiency and preferred indication for laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) compared with conventional laparoscopic (CL) surgery for benign ovarian masses. DESIGN: A systemic review and c…
OBJECTIVE: To observe the therapeutic effect of NF-κB gene short hairpin RNA (shRNA) on endometriosis and identify the function of NF-κB on the maintenance and development of endometriosis in Macaca fascicularis. METHODS: The Macaca fascic…
OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) on the expressions activin A, follistatin, and cripto in cultured human endometrial stromal cells (HESCs) form patients with endometriosis. METHODS: Cultured HESCs were stimulated wi…
OBJECTIVE: To detect aberrant methylation in the promoter region of fetal endometriosis susceptibility gene homeobox-10 (HOXA10) in women with and without folic acid supplementation and explore the effect of folic acid in optimizing intraut…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of small interference RNA (siRNA) targeting nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) on endometriosis. METHOD: The eutopic endometrium of women with endometriosis were transplanted into the nonvascular region …
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and tumor necrosis factor-beta (TNF-beta) before and after conservative laparoscopic surgery in patients with endometriosis. METHODS: The levels of TNF-alpha and …
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) with endometriosis. METHODS: Immunohistochemistry was used to examine the NF-kappaB and VEGF protein expression i…
