OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of serum epithelial neutrophil-activating peptide-78 (ENA-78) in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. METHODS: Serum concentrations of ENA-78 were measured by means of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELI…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) with endometriosis. METHODS: Immunohistochemistry was used to examine the NF-kappaB and VEGF protein expression i…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the potential use of integrin av beta3 (Lm609) monoclonal antibody against ectopic lesion and microvessel angiogenesis of human endometriosis xenografts in SCID mice. METHODS: The endometrial tissues from endometriosi…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of laparoscopic surgery on oxidative stress in patients with uterine myomas. METHODS: Plasma malondialdehyde (MDA), antioxidant activity (AOA), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity in 20 patients with…

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of decidual cell conditioned media (DCM) on the expression of the invasion-related gene of ovarian tumor cell line COC1. METHODS: After primary culture of the decidual cells of early and late pregnancy, DCM w…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of Xiaochaihu Tang (XCHT), a traditional Chinese medicinal preparation, on ectopic endometrium in rats. METHODS: In rat models of endometriosis, the effect of XCHT of ultrastructure of the ectopic endo…

OBJECTIVE: To study the role of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and its receptor (c-Met) in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. METHODS: In situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry method was used to examine HGF mRNA and protein expressio…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and endostatin with endometriosis. METHODS: The levels of vascular endothelial growth factor and endostatin were measured using ELISA in 50 women with …

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…

Scatter factor (hepatocyte growth factor, SF/HGF) is a multifunctional polypeptide growth factor that plays an important role in tumor proliferation, angiogenesis and invasiveness. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of HGF in…

OBJECTIVE: To establish animal models of endometriosis in rhesus monkeys and study the invasion mechanism of endometriosis. METHODS: Five female healthy rhesus monkeys with regular menstrual cycles were selected, of whom 4 were used for en…

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the hereditary susceptibility in patients with endometriosis by way of genotyping of HLA-DPB1 alleles. METHODS: The allelic types of HLA-DPB1 were detected by sequence-based typing (SBT) in 38 patients with endometrio…

OBJECTIVE: To study the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in ectopic and eutopic endometrium from women with endometriosis, thereby to determine the role of matrix metalloproteinases in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. MET…
