INTRODUCTION: Endometrioid borderline ovarian tumor (EBOT) is rare and frequently misdiagnosed. This study aims to investigate the clinicopathological features, immunohistochemical characteristics, differential diagnosis, therapeutic approa…
SIGNIFICANCE: Globally, infertility affects 10-15% of couples, with Fallopian Tube Obstruction (FTO) being a principal cause. Current therapeutic options are inadequate, prompting a demand for effective, less invasive treatments with lower …
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: It is demonstrated that lipid metabolism disorders are associated with the reproductive performances of assisted reproductive technology. However, it is little known whether hyperlipidemia is associated with the endomet…
Background Previously, we showed that Yikun Yitong Ping (YKYTP) can effectively and safely relieve endometriosis-related dysmenorrhea; however, the underlying mechanism remained unclear. This study aimed to assess the effects of YKYTP-conta…
Nuclear factor erythroid 2 (NF-E2)-related factor 3 (NFE2L3), a member of the CNC-bZIP subfamily and widely found in a variety of tissues, is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane-anchored transcription factor that can be released from the…
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the efficacy of immunocytochemistry in diagnosing abdominopelvic washings (APWs) and evaluate the superiority of cytology combined with immunocytochemistry over cytology alone. MATERIAL AND METHODS: D…
BACKGROUND: Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is the most commonly applied tubal patency test in clinical practice. Although some studies have found an increased pregnancy rate after HSG, no studies to date have specifically characterized the eff…
BACKGROUND: Uterine leiomyomata (UL) is a common gynecological disease in women. Studied on the relationship between single metabolites of urinary phytoestrogens and UL, especially for the combined effects of mixed metabolites on UL still a…
Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women worldwide. Despite the development of technologies over decades to improve the diagnosis and treatment of patients with ovarian cancer, the survival rate remains…
PURPOSE: To evaluate the association between age at surgery and recurrence rate of endometrioma. Data sources PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched up to October 2019. METHODS: We determined the pooled relative risk (RR) a…
Due to the difficulty in predicting the prognosis of endometrial carcinoma (EC) patients by clinical variables alone, this study aims to build a new EC prognosis model integrating clinical and molecular information, so as to improve the acc…
XiaoLuoWan (XLW) is a classical formula in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that has satisfactory therapeutic effects for uterine fibroids (UFs). However, its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. To elucidate the pharmacological actions …
Background: This study evaluated the expression of cellular FLICE-like inhibitory protein (cFLIP) in granulosa cells (GCs) obtained from in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer patients with advanced endometriosis. Methods: A total of 267 pa…
BACKGROUND: Although it is generally recognized that endometriosis was significantly associated with higher risk of ovarian cancer, the association between endometriosis and the cancer survival outcomes is still not clear. This meta-analysi…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in eutopic and ectopic endometrium of in nude mice models of endometriosis and understand the role of VEGF in the development of endometriosis. METHODS: …
OBJECTIVE: To assess the possible association between gene mutation of cytochrome P450 1A1(CYP1A1) in exon 7 A4889G locus and the susceptibility to endometriosis (EM). METHODS: Allele specific-polymerase chain reaction method was used to a…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the possible association of the glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) gene polymorphism with the susceptibility to endometriosis in women of Han nationality in Guangdong Province. METHODS: Polymerase chain reaction wa…
OBJECTIVE: To assess the possible association of the Msp I polymorphisms of cytochrome P4501A1(CYP1A1) gene with the susceptibility to endometriosis in women of Han Nationality in Guangdong Province. METHODS: Polymerase chain reaction-rest…
