This study was conducted to define the underlying molecular mechanism of tripartite motif (TRIM) 59-induced invasion of ectopic endometrial stromal cells in endometriosis. Primary endometriosis ectopic endometrial stromal cells and normal e…

Aim of the present work was to investigate the clinical efficacy of Kuntai capsule in the treatment of postmenopausal women with endometriosis, Breast pain and Vaginal Bleeding. 120 elderly female outpatients over 50 years old with Breast p…

Inflammation and myocardial weakness, two major hallmarks of chronic viral myocarditis (VMC), often lead to dilated cardiomyopathy or chronic heart failure. It has been reported that indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-1 (IDO1) may play a pathogeni…

Objective: Progestin was recently used as an alternative of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analog for preventing premature luteinizing hormone (LH) surge with the aid of vitrification techniques, however, limited data were available …

BackgroundThe modified Bushen Antai recipe (BSAT) is a centuries-old traditional Chinese medicine that we use in our center as a therapy against pregnancy loss. Our study aimed to explore the potential benefit and mechanism of BSAT in pregn…

ObjectiveTo investigate the abnormal expression of sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling molecules in 52 eutopic endometrial tissues and its diagnostic potency in endometriosis.DesignRetrospective study.SettingUniversity hospital.Patient(s)Twenty-…

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to explore the factors associated with embryo multinucleation, particularly focused on the influence of parental chromosomal polymorphisms in embryo multinucleation.MethodsThis is a retrospective case-con…

BackgroundPremature ovulation occurs at a high rate in natural-cycle in vitro fertilization (IVF), and cycle cancellation further hampers the overall efficiency of the procedure. While lower levels of estradiol (E2) are observed in preovula…

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of Toll‑like receptor (TLR) 9 and CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (CpG‑ODN)1826 on sodium taurocholate‑induced acute pancreatitis (AP) rats at different time points. Pathological examinat…

Identification of meaningful cluster modules of differential genes or representative biomarkers related to the stages of ovarian cancer (OC) is pivotal, which may help to detect mechanisms of OC progression and evaluate OC patients' prognos…

BackgroundImprovements in vitrification and frozen embryo transfer (FET) technologies have rapidly increased, and some evidence suggests that FET may increase pregnancy rates and lead to more favourable perinatal outcomes. However, the outc…

Whereas the preparation and biological properties of rambutan peel phenolics (RPP) were explored in our previous studies, the metal chelating, inhibitory DNA damage, and anti-inflammatory activities of RPP were evaluated and the important p…

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified >250 loci for body mass index (BMI), implicating pathways related to neuronal biology. Most GWAS loci represent clusters of common, noncoding variants from which pinpointing causal gene…

In the published version of this paper, the name of author Emanuele Di Angelantonio was misspelled. This error has now been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.

In the version of this article originally published, one of the two authors with the name Wei Zhao was omitted from the author list and the affiliations for both authors were assigned to the single Wei Zhao in the author list. In addition, …

BackgroundA receptive endometrium is essential for maternal-embryonic molecular communication during implantation. However, the specific molecular regulatory mechanisms of the endometrial capacity remain poorly understood. Here, we examined…

Background: Body mass index (BMI) and endometriosis have been inversely associated. To address gaps in this research, we examined associations among body composition, endometriosis, and physical activity. Materials and Methods: Women from 1…

Human endometrial tissue has become an attractive source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for cell-based therapies because these MSCs can be easily harvested and have tumour tropism as well as reduced immunogenic and inflammatory properties…

Ovarian cancer is the major cause of death in women with gynecologic malignancies. There is emerging evidence that Androgen/androgen receptor (AR) signaling plays a critical role in the etiology and progression of this disease. Androgen rec…

Thrombospondins are a family of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. Thrombospondin-1 (TSP1) was the first member to be identified and is a main player in tumor microenvironment. The diverse functions of TSP1 depend on the interactions betw…

This study investigated the use of medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) or a short protocol for controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) in patients with advanced endometriosis who have normal ovarian function, and to compare cycle characteri…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between -1195 A/G polymorphism in cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) gene and the risk of pain occurrence in women with endometriosis (EM). MATERIALS AND METHODS: -1195 A/G polymorphism…

Background. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has long been used to treat chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the TCM syndrome characteristics of CAG and its core pathogenesis so as to promote opt…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a gynecologic disease reported to be associated with infertility and, possibly, adverse pregnancy outcomes. While considerable research focuses on pregnancy outcomes following diagnosis and/or treatment, few dat…
