OBJECTIVE: To address the urgent need for non-invasive diagnosis of  endometriosis, this study developed a novel microfluidic platform utilizing a three-dimensional (3D) polydimethylsiloxane scaffold microchip to efficiently capture circula…

BACKGROUND: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic autoimmune disorder with an increasing prevalence in the general population. Internet-based communities have become vital for communication among patients with IBD, especially throug…

BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by reduced bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue. Our previous investigation provided preliminary evidence that single nucleotide polymorphisms (…

Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich (HWW) syndrome is characterized by obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly, a rare congenital anomaly of the genitourinary tract, resulting from malformations of the renal tract associated with Müllerian…

PURPOSE: The main treatment options of neurogenic bladder remains catheterization and long-term oral medications. Metabolic interventions have shown good therapeutic results in many diseases. To date, no studies have characterized the metab…

We studied the whole-genome point mutation and structural variation patterns of 133 tumors (59 high-grade serous (HGSC), 35 clear cell (CCOC), 29 endometrioid (ENOC), and 10 adult granulosa cell (GCT)) as a substrate for class discovery in …

OBJECTIVE: Endometrioid (ENOC) and clear cell ovarian carcinoma (CCOC) share a common precursor lesion, endometriosis, hence the designation endometriosis associated ovarian cancers (EAOC). Long interspersed nuclear element 1 (LINE-1 or L1)…

Endometriosis is a significant risk factor for clear cell and endometrioid ovarian cancers and is often found contiguous with these cancers. Using whole-genome shotgun sequencing of seven clear cell ovarian carcinomas (CCC) and targeted seq…

OBJECTIVE: To search for novel peptides and common binding motif that specifically bind to endometriosis. DESIGN: Prospective study. SETTING: Department of Biological Science and Technology in national university. PATIENT(S): Specimens w…

Endometriosis and leiomyoma display features similar to malignancy, requiring neovascularization to proliferation and growth. Altered vascular-related genes might be related to the development of endometriosis and leiomyoma. Polymorphisms o…

Endometriosis and leiomyoma are both common estrogen-related gynaecological diseases. We aimed to elucidate the association of estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha)-351 A>G (XbaI) and -397 T>C (PvuII) gene polymorphisms with endometriosis and l…
