BACKGROUND: In recent years, microRNAs have attracted increasing attention for their potential diagnostic and prognostic value across various diseases. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of mi…
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant bone tumor. Recent evidence suggests that the novel long noncoding RNA DHRS4 antisense RNA 1 (DHRS4-AS1) serves an important role in cancer progression and metastasis. However, its func…
Atherosclerosis has an urgent need for new therapeutic targets. Protein kinases orchestrate multiple cellular events in atherosclerosis and may provide new therapeutic targets for atherosclerosis. Here, a protein kinase, WEE1 G2 checkpoint …
The effects of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection persist months and years after recovery. We conducted an online survey to assess the health condition of convalescents approximately 5 months following th…
BackgroundA newly generic microspheres, sustained-release formulation of triptorelin acetate 3.75 mg has been developed.ObjectivesTo evaluate the efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and safety of triptorelin 1-month formulation in Chinese patients …
To present our experience with laparoscopic ureteroneocystostomy with bladder flap (LUCBF) for treating benign ureteral stenosis and evaluate its feasibility and efficacy. The clinical data of 27 patients with benign ureteral stenosis who u…
Prediction of individual ovarian response to exogenous gonadotropin is a cornerstone for success and safety in all controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) protocols. Providing the best FSH starting dose according to each woman's own characteri…
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the leading causes of anovulatory infertility in women, affecting 5%-15% of women of reproductive age worldwide. The clinical manifestations of patients include ovulation disorders, amenorrhea, h…
ObjectivesThis study aims to characterize the expression of ANGPTL4 in ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) and its association with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).MethodsThis study included 104 PCOS patients and 112 women in control group under…
ContextGenistein (Gen) has shown protective effects against ageing process.ObjectiveTo explore the role of Gen on the senescence of H2O2-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and investigate the possible mechanism.Material…
BackgroundEnhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways have been shown to improve clinical outcomes after surgery. Considering the importance of patient experience for patients with benign surgery, this study evaluated whether improved c…
Study objectiveTo demonstrate stepwise techniques for the successful utilization of the Robotic-assisted transvaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopy Surgery (NOTES) technique for safely surgically managing deeply infiltrated endomet…
Asherman syndrome (AS) has an adverse effect on reproductive health and fertility by affecting endometrial regeneration. Stem cell-based therapies hold promise for future use in activating non-functional endometrium and reconstructing the e…
Introduction and hypothesisUreteral injuries are a source of morbidity, and delays in diagnosis can increase the risk for long-term sequelae. Our aim was to quantify and describe iatrogenic ureteral injuries in a rural tertiary care center.…
PurposeThe aim of this study was to assess whether the intrafollicular cytokine profile in naturally developed follicles is different in women with endometriosis, possibly explaining the lower reproductive outcome in endometriosis patients.…
Although Chlamydia-induced hydrosalpinx in women and mice has been used as a surrogate marker for tubal infertility, the medical relevance of nontubal pathologies, such as uterine horn dilation, developed in mice following chlamydial infect…
Uteroplacental tissue plays a key role in substance exchanges between maternal and fetal circulation, and, therefore, in the growth and development of fetuses. In this study, proteomics and western blotting were applied to investigate the c…
Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX) plays important roles in cardiac electrical activity and calcium homeostasis. NCX current (I(NCX)) shows transmural gradient across left ventricle in many species. Previous studies demonstrated that NCX expressi…
17β-estradiol, acting through estrogen receptors α and β, plays a fundamental role in the regulation of Fallopian tube cell homeostasis and in the modulation of normal tubal physiological processes. Fluctuations in E2 levels also play cruci…
Uterine receptivity to implantation varies among species, and involves changes in expression of genes that are coordinate with attachment of trophectoderm to uterine lumenal and superficial glandular epithelia, modification of phenotype of …
