Adhesion is a postoperative complication that has plagued gynecologists for many years, as 60-90% of gynecological patients develop adhesions after abdominopelvic surgeries. Abdominopelvic adhesions could lead to chronic pelvic pain, infert…

Abstract Background: And the incidence of endometriosis has been increased in recent years. Deep infiltrating endometriosis is the most advanced type of endometriosis. The treatments for patients with DIE and fertility desire are controvers…

RESEARCH QUESTION: The expression of the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) urothelial carcinoma-associated 1 (UCA1) in embryonic tissues is higher than that in most cancer tissues, such as bladder cancer, indicating that RNA is a carcinoembryonic…

The poor prognosis and fewer treatment option is a current clinical challenge for patients with lung adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC). The previous studies reported that tumor mutational burden (TMB, numbers of mutation per Megabase) is a pred…

The purpose of this experiment is to establish a rat model of thin endometrium and to explore the effect of ligustrazine on the thin endometrium of rats. The thin endometrium model was made by using infusing absolute ethyl alcohol into the …

Objective: To explore the risk factors of cervical lymph node metastasis in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients with clinical negative cervical lymph nodes(cN0) and provide a reference for clinical treatment. Methods: The clinical …

IntroductionAdenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) of the bile duct is a rare diagnosis with poorly understood clinicopathological characteristics and disease progression, so identification of the features associated with ASC patient survival is war…

PurposeFungal keratitis is a major cause of corneal ulcers, resulting in significant visual impairment and blindness. Fenretinide, a derivative of vitamin A, has been shown to suppress inflammation in a multitude of diseases. In this study,…

Mammalian STE20-like kinase 1 (Mst1) is well recognized as a major tumor suppressor in cancer development, growth, metabolic reprogramming, metastasis, cell death and recurrence. However, the roles of Mst1 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSC…

Hydroxysafflor Yellow A (HSYA), a most representative ingredient of Carthamus tinctorius L., had long been used in treating ischaemic cardiovascular diseases in China and exhibited prominently anticoagulant and pro-angiogenic activities, bu…

ObjectivesTo investigate regulation of microRNA (miR)-200 family (a, b, c, 141, and 429) in chronic pancreatitis (CP). This was accomplished by examining miR-200 family levels in a mouse model in vivo and their regulation in pancreatic cell…

Acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) is a common severe critical illness with a high mortality rate. Resveratrol, a polyphenol compound derived from various plants such as grape skin, peanut, berry and veratrum, exhibits multiple biological…

The objective was to investigate the expression of the WNT4 gene in ectopic endometrium and eutopic endometrium (EU) during endometriosis and the relationship of WNT4 expression with the menstrual cycle. Ectopic endometrium and EU tissues w…

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Dysregulated long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can lead to the occurrence of various diseases; however, reports of the function of lncRNAs in endometriosis and related studies are scarce. The pathogenesis of endometriosis is s…

Hepatic endometriosis is one of the rarest disorders characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrium in the liver. To our knowledge, only 21 cases of hepatic endometrioma have been described in the medical literature. We report a case …

Exposure to arsenic (As) has been associated with a number of diseases such as cancers, cardiovascular diseases (CVD), and neurological disorders. To explore the possible underlying epigenetic mechanisms, a nested case-control study was con…

The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of epigenetic inactivation of the runt-related transcription factor 3 gene (RUNX3) in the malignant transformation of ovarian endometriosis. Samples obtained by microdissection and sc…

The objective of this study was to prepare a novel mifepristone-loaded PCL/Pluronic F68 implant to achieve long-term treatment of endometriosis. PCL/Pluronic F68 compound (90/10, w/w) with viscosity average molecular weight of 65,000 was su…

PURPOSE: No standard case definition exists for interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome for patient screening or epidemiological studies. As part of the RAND Interstitial Cystitis Epidemiology study, we developed a case definition fo…

To investigate the effect of oral and transdermal estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) on the expression of different estrogen receptor (ER) subtypes and the secretion of immunoregulatory cytokines, we performed a clinical investigation on pr…
