Junctional zone thickening: an endo-myometrial unit disorder. [PDF]
Facts Views Vis Obgyn, 2023 Adenomyosis is a disease defined by histopathology, mostly of hysterectomy specimens, and classification is challenged by the disagreement of the histologic definition.

The role of the junctional zone in the management of adenomyosis with infertility. [PDF]
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne), 2023 The junctional zone (JZ) is an important structure in the myometrium that maintains uterine fertility. Changes in the junctional zone are closely related to infertility and adenomyosis (ADS).

Upregulated microRNA let-7a accelerates apoptosis and inhibits proliferation in uterine junctional zone smooth muscle cells in adenomyosis under conditions of a normal activated hippo-YAP1 axis. [PDF]
Reprod Biol Endocrinol, 2021 Background Let-7a is a small non-coding RNA that has been found to take part in cell proliferation and apoptosis. The hippo-YAP1 axis, known as a tumour suppressor pathway, also plays an important role in cell proliferation and apoptosis.

Evaluation of junctional zone differential and ratio as possible markers of clinical efficacy in uterine artery embolisation of adenomyosis. [PDF]
CVIR EndovascUterine artery embolisation is a recommended method of adenomyosis treatment with good clinical results. Changes in uterine volume and maximal junctional zone thickness (JZmax) after embolisation are thoroughly analyzed in the literature.

The abnormal expression of oxytocin receptors in the uterine junctional zone in women with endometriosis. [PDF]
Reprod Biol Endocrinol, 2017 BackgroundThe junctional zone (JZ), also called as the endometrial-myometrial junction, is related to peristaltic-like movements in the non-pregnant uterus.

The Significance of MRI Evaluation of the Uterine Junctional Zone in the Early Diagnosis of Adenomyosis. [PDF]
Acta Inform Med, 2016 Goal: The aim of the study is to define the MRI appearance of disorder in the Junctional zone (JZ) in women with adenomyosis compared to those without it, given the importance of the JZ in the regulation of various reproductive events.

Adenomyosis and infertility: the role of the junctional zone
Gynecological Endocrinology, 2021 Objective Adenomyosis is a benign uterine disorder characterized by the invasion of the endometrium within the myometrium, starting from the junctional zone (JZ), the inner hormone dependent layer of the myometrium that plays an important role in sperm ...

Uterine junctional zone thickness in infertile women evaluated by MRI [PDF]
Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 2017 PurposeTo prospectively evaluate and compare the junctional zone (JZ) and outer myometrial thickness in infertile and healthy nulliparous women at different locations in the uterine wall during the menstrual cycle by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Materials and MethodsWe performed pelvic 1.5T MRI (T2‐weighted turbo spin echo sequences) on 28 ...

Junctional Zone in Infertile Women: A Three-dimensional Ultrasound Study. [PDF]
Rev Bras Ginecol Obstet, 2020 Abstract Objective To analyze the interobserver and intraobserver reproducibility of the visualization and continuity of the juncional zone (JZ) by three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound in infertile women, and to evaluate the sociodemographic, hormonal, and structural factors that influence these assessments. Methods A prospective study
