BackgroundPrimary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC) is a malignant tumor of the female genital tract that mostly presents intraperitoneal dissemination in clinical practice. The incidence of upper anterior mediastinal metastasis in PFTCs is e…

AimsMicroRNAs play essential roles in tumorigenesis and progression in various cancers including endometrial cancer. Here we assessed the role of miR-135a on proliferation, chemosensitivity, migration and invasion of endometrial cancer cell…

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effects of quercetin on proliferation, invasion and migration of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) from adenomyosis patients. METHODS: Primary ectopic ESCs (EESCs) and eutopic ESCs (EuESCs) were obtained and purifie…

The present study aims to investigate the effects and mechanisms of sarsasapogenin resistance to precocious puberty. Female Sprague Dawley rats were divided into a normal (N) group, model (M) group, leuprolide (L) group, and sarsasapogenin …

BackgroundExisting drugs are far from enough for investigators and patients to administrate the therapy of rheumatoid arthritis. Drug repositioning has drawn broad attention by reusing marketed drugs and clinical candidates for new uses.Pur…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis (Ems) is one benign disorder that frequently leads to chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea or even infertility. Featured as the ectopic growth of active endometrial tissues on tissues beyond the muscular layer, Ems has…

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of Icaritin on the proliferation and decidualization of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs). A total of 20 specimens of endometrium were collected during hysterectomy at the Gynecolog…

Background: Epidemiologic studies and animal model experiments have shown that parasites have significant modulatory effects on autoimmune disorders, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Recombinant Sj16 (rSj16), a 16-kDa secreted pr…

The progesterone receptor (PR) is a ligand-activated steroid receptor in the nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily of transcription factor. Besides gynecological and obstetrical indications, the involvement/mechanism of PR in many other disease…

Ovarian cancer is a common malignancy of the female reproductive system. Tumor markers serve as tools in the diagnosis of the disease. The aim of the present study was to determine the diagnostic value of sera levels of carbohydrate antigen…
