Environmental estrogens, a group of exogenous endocrine-active compounds, are frequently present in animal feed, water, and husbandry environments. These compounds, which include synthetic xenoestrogens, phytoestrogens, and metalloestrogens…

UNLABELLED: Vulvar lichen sclerosus (VLS) is a chronic skin condition affecting the vulva, causing significant discomfort, but its etiology in prepubertal girls remains poorly understood. VLS presents with itching, irritation, and pain. Rec…

Endometriosis, a persistent inflammatory disease, is associated with pelvic or abdominal pain. The immune system and sensory nervous system show a synergistic effect on regulation of pain. In particular, Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is released a…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the mechanism of Bushen Huoxue decoction (, BSHXD) to treat endometriosis-induced infertility. MEDHODS: The main compounds of BSHXD were determined by high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC…

Follicle development refers to the process in which the follicles in the ovary gradually develop from the primary stage to a mature state, and most primary follicles fail to develop normally, without forming a dense granular cell layer and …

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Wenshen Xiaozheng Tang (WXT), a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction, is effective for treating endometriosis. However, the effect of WXT on endometrium-derived mesenchymal stem cells (eMSCs) which pl…

The sirtuin family, a group of NAD+-dependent class 3 histone deacetylases (HDACs), was extensively studied initially as a group of longevity genes that are activated in caloric restriction and act in concert with nicotinamide adenine dinuc…

Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is an intricate condition with multiple etiologies that lead to indefinite pain mechanisms. Physicians and researchers are challenged in its treatment, and the combined therapy of pharmacologic and non-pharmacologi…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To describe the pattern and population characteristics of pediatric and adolescent gynecologic (PAG) problems in China DESIGN: A clinic-based retrospective study of gynecologic patients (aged 0-18 years) over a period of 13…

Recently, few noninvasive methods have been reported to evaluate endometrial fibrosis. Our study was to investigate the feasibility of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) MR imaging in the detection of endometrial fibrosis in patients with …

Background: Many studies on circular RNAs (circRNAs) have recently been published. However, the function of circRNAs in recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is unknown and remains to be explored. This study aims to determine the regulatory …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis, characterized by the presence of functional endometrial tissues outside the uterus, is one of the most common gynecological disorders. Endometrial mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are crucial for the occurrence and d…

During the development of endometriosis, the presence of fibrotic tissues in and surrounding endometriotic lesions may lead to subsequent adhesion, anatomic distortion, and chronic pain. Therefore, studies aimed at clarifying the underlying…

Objective: To reinforce the awareness of colorectal endometriosis (EM) in colonoscopy examination. Methods: Patients diagnosed as colorectal EM at Peking Union Medical College Hospital between February 2002 and February 2017 were enrolled i…

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Wenshen Xiaozheng Tang (WXT), a traditional Chinese medicine prescription, exerted a good therapeutic effect on endometriosis. However, the underlying mechanism is unclear. In the present study, we sought to …

OBJECTIVES: To detect the differentially expressed genes and subsequently identify disease-related signatures and potential biomarkers for patients with ovarian endometriomas in the serum before and after the ultrasound-guided ethanol scler…

OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical efficacy of Bushen Huoxue Sanyu Decoction (BHSD) in treatment of adenomyosis (AM) patients. METHODS: Seventy AM patients of Shen deficiency blood stasis syndrome (SDBSS) were randomly assigned to two grou…

Objective:to observe effect of Quyikang on VEGF expression in Emdometrium and endometriotic tissue in rats and explore the probable mechanisms.Methods:40 female SD rats divided into four groups,A group is control group,B,C and D groups are …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of midkine (MK) in eutopic and ectopic endometrium of patients with severe endometriosis and its clinical significance. METHODS: Immunohistochemical streptavidin-biotin peroxidase (SP) method was us…
