Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been previously associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, the health effects of emerging PFAS alternatives on PCOS remain unclear. This study aims to examine the associations …

BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer (OC) is highly lethal, largely due to late diagnosis and chemoresistance. Endometriosis (EM) increases the risk of specific OC subtypes, but the molecular connection between the two diseases is still unclear. m6A …

To present our experience with laparoscopic ureteroneocystostomy with bladder flap (LUCBF) for treating benign ureteral stenosis and evaluate its feasibility and efficacy. The clinical data of 27 patients with benign ureteral stenosis who u…

OBJECTIVE: Thin endometrium caused by various factors affects the conception rate of females worldwide; however, current medications are still insufficient. Therefore, a novel approach is needed. We previously reported the effect of menstru…

BACKGROUND: Accurate preoperative diagnosis of endometrial cancer (EC) with deep myometrial invasion (DMI) is critical to deciding whether to perform lymphadenectomy. However, the presence of adenomyosis makes distinguishing DMI from superf…

Endometriosis, an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory condition, afflicts reproductive-aged women. However, the underlying pathological mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) is a critical enzyme inv…

BACKGROUND: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have greatly improved cancer treatment, but the role of genes related to T cell-mediated tumor killing (TTK) sensitivity in ovarian cancer (OV) is unclear. METHODS: This study analyzed 1367 O…

BACKGROUND: Surgery in elder patients with intermural fibroids delays pregnancy, and GnRH-a can shrink uterine fibroids to a certain extent; therefore, for geriatric patients with fibroids, determining whether GnRH-a pretreatment before fro…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent gynecological disease with chronic pelvic inflammation. In order to study the pathophysiology of endometriosis and examine the therapeutic effects of new pharmaceuticals for endometriosis treatment, di…

Endometriosis is a common, benign, and hormone-dependent gynaecological disorder that displays altered immunoinflammatory profiles. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) suppressed immunosurveillance in endometriosis in human and mouse m…

This study aimed to evaluate a novel real-time rotational optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging system (OCTIS) with a fiber-optic probe to look at endometrium and to correlate the OCTIS images with standard histology. OCT could obtain …

BACKGROUND: It is postulated that women suffered from recurrent implantation failure (RIF) have different endometrial receptivity compared to those who experienced with idiopathic recurrent miscarriage (RM). In this study, expression of com…

BACKGROUND: Current medical treatments for endometriosis are very limited. Progestin and selective progesterone receptor modulators (SPRM) are developed but their efficacy, safety, mechanism and recurrence in endometriosis are not fully stu…

Endometriosis is an angiogenesis-dependent disease. Many studies demonstrated inhibition of angiogenesis leads to inhibition of endometriotic growth, however underlying mechanism is still not fully understood. Our previous study suggested v…

Endometriosis is a common gynaecological disease, defined by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, causing pain and infertility of women in reproductive age (Galle, 1989). It is estimated that it occurs in 10-15% for women …

Green tea epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) can inhibit angiogenesis and development of an experimental endometriosis model in mice, but it suffers from poor bioavailability. A prodrug of EGCG (pro-EGCG, EGCG octaacetate) is utilized to enh…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the antiangiogenesis mechanism of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) in an endometriosis model in vivo. DESIGN: Animal studies. SETTING: University laboratory. ANIMAL(S): Human endometrium from women with endomet…

Objective:To explore the value of transvaginal ultrasonography in diagnosing ovarian endometriotic cysts(OEC).Methods:To review and analysis the characteristics of sonograms of 62 ovary massin 54 cases of OEC,and compare with the result of …

BACKGROUND: The development of new blood vessels plays an essential role in growth and survival of endometriosis. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) from green tea has powerful anti-angiogenic properties and our aim was to evaluate these prope…

Objective To explore the effect of mifepristone on expression of survivin in endometriotic rats. Methods Endometriotic rats were randomly divided into control group and mifepristone group (including low-dose and high -dose groups). 4 weeks …
