Objective: To study the role of estrogen (E2), estrogen receptor (ER) and aromatase (P450arom) in the pathogenesis of uterine adenomyosis.
Methods: Paraffin-embedded specimens of the uterine tissue from patients with uterine adenomyosis and patients with cervical lesions (CIN; control) were examined for expressions of E2, ER and P450arom by immunohistochemistry and ELISA. The cells isolated from the lesions of patients with adenomyosis were cultured in vitro, and the changes in cell growth in response to treatments with E2, ER inhibitor, ER inhibitor + E2, estrogen deprivation, and estrogen deprivation+ ICI182780 were assessed using CCK-8 method.
Results: The expression levels of E2, ER, and P450arom were significantly higher in adenomyosis ectopic lesions and eutopic endometrium than in the myometrium and endometrium in the control group (P<0.05); no significant difference in E2 and P450arom expressions was found between adenomyosis ectopic lesions and eutopic endometrium (P>0.05), while the expression levels of ER in ectopic lesions was significantly higher than that in eutopic endometrium. The cell inhibition rates were similar between ER inhibitor group and ER inhibitor + Estrogen activation group (P>0.05), and was significantly higher in estrogen deprivation+ ER inhibitor group than in estrogen deprivation group (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The high expression levels of E2, ER, and P450arom in adenomyosis ectopic lesions and eutopic endometrium promote uterine adenomyosis cell proliferation, in which process E2 combines with ER to execute its biological effect; ER also promotes the occurrence and development of uterine adenomyosis through other pathways.

Adult growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) is a rare disease with both physiological and psychological effects for untreated patients. AGHD symptoms can improve over time with GH treatment. Here we have analyzed the long-term effectiveness and safety of short-acting GH replacement therapy (GHRT) in treatment naïve and nonnaïve patients with AGHD using real-world data from the NordiNet® International Outcome Study and American Norditropin® Studies: Web Enabled Research Program.

Introduction: Bisphenol A (BPA), known for its endocrine-disrupting properties, is a concern when leaching from dental sealants. This study investigates the systemic BPA exposure following the placement of Bis-GMA-based dental sealants in Thai primary school students.
Objectives: The main objective was to evaluate the changes in urinary BPA concentrations after the application of Bis-GMA dental sealants in a cohort of Thai students.

Medicinal plants and natural compounds have been considered alternative therapeutic options for counteracting postmenopausal disorders thanks to their different concomitant effects, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and the regulation of hormone activity. It is important to highlight that the efficacy of medicinal plants and natural compounds increases when used in combination, thus making the development of herbal formulations rational. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the phytochemical and pharmacological properties of an innovative formulation consisting of resveratrol and water extracts from , , , and .

Zearalenone (ZEN), a non-steroidal estrogenic mycotoxin, contaminates animal feed and grain crops, thereby entering the food chain and posing a significant threat to human health. Consequently, there is an urgent need for a sensitive and rapid method for detecting trace levels of ZEN. In this study, we developed a phage-displayed antigen-binding fragment (Fab-phage) and established a Fab-phage-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Fab-pELISA) for ZEN detection.
