High broodiness in Muscovy ducks impedes animal husbandry growth. The interaction between endocrine hormones and gut microbiota has been proven to play a crucial role in reproductive performance, and whether it can regulate the broody behav…
Ovarian age assessment is an important indicator to evaluate the ovarian reserve function and reproductive potential of women. At present, the application of ovarian age prediction model in China needs further improvement and optimization t…
BACKGROUND: Multimorbidity is better prevented in younger ages than in older ages. This study aims to identify the differences in comorbidity patterns in middle-aged inpatients from China and the United Kingdom (UK). METHODS: We utilized 1…
BACKGROUND: Oral gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists are promising agents in the treatment of endometriosis-related pain. Here we assessed the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of SHR7280, an oral non-pe…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common benign gynecological disorder with high risk of recurrence and adverse impact on fertility-sparing. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of SanJieZhenTong Capsules, a traditional Chi…
BACKGROUND: Identifying independent and interactive associations of a wide range of diseases and multimorbidity and apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) with dementia may help promote cognitive health. The main aim of the present study was to investig…
BACKGROUND: Little is known regarding life-course trajectories of important diseases. We aimed to identify diseases that were strongly associated with mortality and test temporal trajectories of these diseases before mortality. METHODS: Ou…
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to report our experience in treating multiple ureteral polyps with transabdominal laparoscopic ureteroureterostomy (LAP-UU) with intraoperative retrograde ureteroscopy (RU)-assisted technique. METH…
Endometriosis is a condition that is influenced by hormones and involves stroma and glands being found outside the uterus; there are increases in proliferation, invasion, internal bleeding, and fibrosis. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) hav…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the profiles of the vaginal microbiome in patients with endometrial hyperplasia and to explore the potential value of vaginal microbiome in the diagnosis of endometrial hyperplasia. Materials/Methods. 26 patients s…
INTRODUCTION: Intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) is currently regarded as a special variant of the common uterine leiomyoma (LM). Though IVL shows a similar histological morphology to LM, IVL is characterized by unique intravenous growth patt…
Metabolic profile of follicular fluid (FF) has been investigated to look for biomarkers for oocyte quality. Resolvin E1 (RvE1), a potent pro-resolving mediator, was reported to have protective action in cell function. The study aimed to exa…
BACKGROUND: Major challenges in understanding the functional consequences of genetic risk factors for human disease are which tissues and cell types are affected and the limited availability of suitable tissue. The aim of this study was to …
PURPOSE: High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has the potential to be an effective therapeutic strategy for pancreatic cancer (PC). However, owing to the high malignancy and poor prognosis of PC, the use of HIFU therapy alone is not suf…
Gene expression varies markedly across the menstrual cycle and expression levels for many genes are under genetic control. We analyzed gene expression and mapped expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) in endometrial tissue samples from …
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of baicalein on human endometrial stromal cells in vitro. Ectopic endometrium samples were obtained from 6 female patients with ovarian endometriosis who underwent laparoscopic surgic…
Objective. To evaluate the effect of GuiXiong Xiaoyi Wan (GXXYW) on the development of endometriosis in a rat model. Methods. Sprague-Dawley rats with surgically induced endometriosis were randomly treated with low-dose GXXYW, high-dose GXX…
Epidemiological evidence suggests that elevated androgen levels and genetic variation related to the androgen receptor (AR) increase the risk of endometrial cancer (EC). However, the role of AR in EC is poorly understood. We report that two…
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the feasibility and safety of single-incision multiport laparoscopy (SIMPL) used in patients who underwent laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) for gynecologic disease, and the cosmetic outcome and economic ben…
BACKGROUND: Progesterone is essential for the proliferation and differentiation of mammary gland epithelium. Studies of breast cancer cells have demonstrated a biphasic progesterone response consisting of an initial proliferative burst foll…
Medical records of 32 women with abdominal incision endometriosis who underwent surgical treatment in the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Hospital at Fudan University between September 1999 and March 2006 were reviewed retrospectively. All cases…
OBJECTIVE: To identify risk factors for and the patterns of recurrence of endometrioma and of dysmenorrhea in women with ovarian endometrioma. METHODS: We evaluated 710 consecutive patients operated on for ovarian endometriomas who were fo…
