Objective: To establish and optimize the two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) of uterine leiomyoma for the proteome analysis.
Methods: Run immobilized pH gradient (IPG)-isoelectric focusing electrophoresis as the first dimension, then vertical SDS-PAGE electrophoresis as the second dimension. A series of important steps,such as sample solubility, volume of loading, electrophoresis parameters and protocol for staining were optimized.
Results: The 2-DE patterns of uterine leiomyoma and myometrium with good quality were obtained.
Conclusion: With optimal condition the two-dimensional electrophoresis of uterine leiomyoma can be obtained.

Primary leiomyoma is one of the rarest benign ovarian tumors. Since the first case was identified, less than 100 cases have been reported worldwide. This study aimed to analyze the clinical characteristics and discuss the proper management of this tumor.

Background: Both intramural myomas and thin endometrium exert a detrimental influence on the outcomes of assisted reproductive technology (ART). The downregulation of gonadotropin releasing hormone agonists (GnRH-a) is regarded as an effective approach to reducing the size of intramural fibroids and enhancing endometrial receptivity. Consequently, we conducted this study to assess whether the GnRH-a combined with hormone replacement therapy (GnRH-a-HRT) can improve reproductive outcomes in frozen embryo transfer cycles for patients with a thin endometrium (≤7 mm) and intramural fibroids.

This study employs Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to investigate the potential causal association between genetic variants associated with gut microbiota, inflammatory factors, and the risk of uterine fibroids development. We extracted data on 211 types of gut microbiota, 91 inflammatory factors, and uterine fibroids occurrence from genome-wide association studies and applied the inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method for analysis. To further assess the robustness of our MR analysis, we conducted sensitivity tests including Cochrane's Q test, the MR-Egger intercept test, the MR-PRESSO global test, and a leave-one-out analysis.

Background: Uterine fibroids disproportionately affect Black women, and exposure to chemicals from hair relaxers or straighteners ("straighteners") may contribute to fibroid development.
Objectives: We examined the association between straightener use and prevalent young-onset uterine fibroids (diagnosed before age 36 y), as well as incident fibroids (diagnosed age 36-60 y), with a focus on Black women. We also examined differences in associations across birth cohorts as proxies for formulation changes.
