Neuroimaging studies have demonstrated that reward system is associated with chronic pain diseases. In addition, previous studies have also demonstrated abnormal functional and structural brain regions in primary dysmenorrhea. However, the …
Abstract Background Acute cerebral infarction with adenomyosis in a young woman has been rarely reported. Case presentation We describe a 34-year-old young woman who presented headache and fever (38°C) for 4 days and left limb weakness for …
BACKGROUND: Chinese mothers of preterm infants often face obstacles to breastfeeding and commonly experience prolonged maternal-infant separation when their high-risk infants are hospitalized in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). This s…
OBJECTIVES: Endometriosis is considered as a chronic pelvic inflammatory disease and prostaglandin E2(PGE2) (a kind of the inflammatory cytokines) was increased in the endometriosis patient's peritoneal fluid . Ca2+ signal and Ca2+ channels…
BACKGROUND: Cesarean scar endometriosis (CSE) is the most common type of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE). The aim of this study was to systematically identify the clinical features of CSE and recommend precautionary measures. METHODS: A…
This study aims to discuss the operative skills of hysteroscopic tubal embolization and reduce the occurrence of complications.Ninety-four patients were divided into group A and group B. The main surgical technique in group A: when the inne…
Abstract Background: Endometriosis is linked to major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). However, whether this finding can be applied to the Asian population remained unanswered. Additionally, results are still incon…
Objective: Needling technique is an important factor contributing to the efficacy of an acupuncture point. In previous studies, Sanyinjiao (SP 6) had an immediate analgesic effect on primary dysmenorrhea (PD) with strengthened acupuncture s…
OBJECTIVE: To determine the efficacy of laparoscopic surgery combined with GnRH agonist (GnRH-a) in treating infertile patients with endometriosis (EMs), and analyze its effect on the levels of serum hormones and inflammatory factors of the…
The aberrant expression of miR107‑5p is closely related to the development of several types of human cancers. However, the role of miR‑107‑5p in endometrial carcinoma (EC) has not been fully confirmed. In the present study, we aimed to expl…
OBJECTIVE: Little data exist describing the change over time in islet function and glycemic control in patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP). METHODS: In 325 CP patients who underwent 2 mixed meal tolerance tests and/or glycated hemoglob…
The eutopic endometrium has been suggested to play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of adenomyosis. However, the specific genes in eutopic endometrium responsible for the pathogenesis of adenomyosis still remain to be elucidated. We aim t…
BACKGROUND: There is limited literature investigating the effects of body mass index (BMI) and androgen level on in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)-antagonist protocol in polycystic ovary synd…
BACKGROUND: Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), a member of the zinc-dependent metalloproteinase gene family, plays a vital role in cancer invasion, metastasis, and progression. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to explore the c…
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common and deadly malignant tumors in the world, especially in China. Follistatin-like protein 5 (FSTL5) is a member of the FSTL family, which is involved in cell proliferation, migration, d…
MicroRNA-21 (miR-21) is an important regulator of cell signaling pathways involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Here, we attempted to discover new ligands of miR-21 pre-element by carrying out stepwise high-throughput virtual scree…
Mutations in the gene encoding AT-rich interactive domain 1A (ARID1A) are frequently observed in endometrial cancer (EC) but the molecular mechanisms linking the genetic changes remain to be fully understood. The present study aimed to eluc…
Podocyte apoptosis is considered as the important element that promotes the development and progress of membranous nephropathy (MN). Unfortunately, the underlying mechanism of podocytes apoptosis in MN remains elusive. We compared the renal…
AIM OF THE STUDY: Sequential window acquisition of all theoretical fragment-ion spectra (SWATHTM), a powerful high-resolution mass spectrometric data independent acquisition technique, was used to identify differences that relate certain me…
Overexpression of the prolyl isomerase PIN1 is involved in tumorigenesis, but the role of PIN1 in cervical cancer is unclear. In this study, we examined PIN1 protein expression by immunohistochemistry in 221 paraffin-embedded samples from c…
Background: Infertility is clinically defined as the failure to conceive after 12 months of unprotected sexual intercourse. Organic disorders and lifestyle factors are highly associated with infertility. Generally, acupuncture and its relat…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to investigate the prognostic role of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio in ovarian cancer. Growing number of articles reported the relationship between neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and prognosis in ovarian…
OBJECTIVE: We reveal the relationship between progesterone level in follicular fluid and oocyte quality based on sequential window acquisition of all theoretical fragment-ion spectra (SWATH™), a powerful high-resolution mass spectrometric d…
Bovine endometritis affects milk production and reproductive performance in dairy cows and causes serious economic loss. The underlying molecular mechanisms or signaling pathways of bovine endometritis remain unclear. In this study, we atte…
Cytochrome P450 26A1 (CYP26A1) has a spatiotemporal expression pattern in the uterus, with a significant increase in mRNA and protein levels during peri-implantation. Inhibiting the function or expression of CYP26A1 can cause pregnancy fail…
