CONTEXT: Regulatory T (Treg) cells and T-helper-17 (Th17) cells may be involved in endometriosis. Information on the pattern of change in the percentages of Treg and Th17 cells in the peripheral blood (PB) and peritoneal fluid (PF) of women…
BACKGROUND: It has been well established that endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease. Although the exact pathogenesis of the disease is still unclear, it is known to be characterized by estrogen-dependent growth and maintenance of t…
PROBLEM: Intrauterine microbial colonization and its association with the pathogenesis of endometriosis via an innate immune cascade have been reported. As a potential source of microbial transmission, information on microbial colonization …
STUDY QUESTION: Is a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α)-mediated pathway involved in the development of endometriosis? SUMMARY ANSWER: PGC-1α plays critical roles in inflammation and cell proliferation of e…
Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease that causes various clinical symptoms, such as chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea and infertility, seriously affecting women's health and their quality of life. The symptoms and endometriotic l…

Running Title: HGF production by macrophage of endometriosis. Address for correspondence and reprint request:
BACKGROUND: The different macromolecules as secreted by macrophages (Mw) in the pelvic environment are believed to enhance the growth of endometriosis. However, the possible mediator that stimulates Mw for the production of different growth…
Adenomyosis is commonly believed to arise from the basalis endometrium. As an estromedin growth factor, hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) exhibits multiple functions in endometriosis, a disease commonly believed to arise from the functionalis …
The human lower genital tract is constantly exposed to various microorganisms, which can infect the upper genital tract through ascending migration. We report on tests of the hypothesis that as normal microbial flora in the vagina, some gra…
