Adenomyosis — JZ related disease
— JZ thickenss≥12mm;
high-signal intensity myometrial foci;
involvement of outer myometrium.
" Imaging:ultrasound, MRI
" Histological diagnosis—gold standard — relied on the identification of endometrial glands within the
myometrium

Introduction Materials Results Discussion
" The myocytes from JZ and OM have distinctive
ultrastructural features adapted for different functions.
" We observed cyclic ultrastructual changes of JZ in control
group, but the changes appear to be lost in adenomyosis.
The results are consistent with disfunction of JZ in
adenomyosis.
