Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition requiring surgical or imaging visualization for definitive diagnosis. How endometriotic lesion characteristics relate to circulating inflammatory markers remains unclear. We evaluated 11 inflammatory biomarkers, …
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widespread environmental pollutants with known harmful effects on human health. However, their specific impact on reproductive outcomes, both cancer-related and non-cancer-related, has not been comprehensively …
To explore the clinicopathological features and origin of mesonephric-like adenocarcinomas (MLAs), 83 cases diagnosed or suspected to be MLAs were collected from various institutions in Japan. We clearly classified 78 …
This study aimed to identify risk and protective factors for postoperative recurrence of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). We analyzed 320 patients undergoing laparoscopic excision with ≥ 6 years follow-up at …
This study aims to identify angiogenesis-associated genes (AAGs) in endometriosis (EM) by integrating bioinformatics analysis with machine learning, and to investigate their underlying mechanisms. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened …
While infections have been implicated in endometriosis pathogenesis, the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) remains unclear. This study combined a meta-analysis of seven studies with a case-control study ( n …
Disulfidptosis is a novel Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate (NADPH) deficiency-driven cell death pathway characterized by cystine overload and aberrant disulfide bond formation in actin cytoskeletal proteins, distinct from apoptosis, ferroptosis, …
This study investigates the association between diagnostic delay (DD) and clinical and behavioral variables among Japanese women with endometriosis, and explores an optimal cut-off point distinguishing short and long DD.
To evaluate whether deeper histologic sections and tissue-blocking practices improve the diagnosis of endometriosis in peritoneal biopsies. We retrospectively reviewed 148 peritoneal biopsy cases with clinical suspicion of endometriosis from …
Background: Background: Endometriosis affects 10% of women of reproductive age. Despite the well-known association between endometriosis and infertility, the mechanisms underlying this association remain to be elucidated. Methods: Implantation and …
