BackgroundAPOBEC3A (A3A) has been implicated to have vital prognostic value in several common cancers. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of A3A expression in cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CESC).MethodsThis retrospecti…

OBJECTIVES: The aim of our study was to explore the role of circular RNA_0061140 (circ_0061140) in adenomyosis progression and its associated mechanism. DESIGN: We first analyzed the expression pattern of circ_0061140 in endometrial tissue…

PurposeWith the progress of medical technology and renovated conception of fertility, the prospective studies and practice of fertility preservation are drawing more and more attention from medical workers. With the largest population of ov…

BackgroundThe impact of donor sperm on pregnancy outcomes is controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate whether donor sperm in in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment could reduce the rate…

Numerous studies have suggested the possibility of explaining the etiology of metabolic syndrome through DNA methylation. DNA methyltransferase 3B (DNMT3B) plays an important role in de novo DNA methylation. There was an alteration in mater…

LncRNAs are involved in the pathophysiologic processes of multiple diseases, but little is known about their functions in hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (HIRI). As a novel lncRNA, the pathogenetic significance of hepatic nuclear factor…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic condition that affects women of child-bearing age. Since the etiology and pathogenesis of endometriosis have not been fully elucidated, it is important to investigate the mechanisms that lead to the de…

Research questionIs the singleton live birth rate superior for vitrified-warmed versus fresh embryo transfer in women with adenomyosis?DesignThis cohort study retrospectively analysed data from the Reproductive Hospital Affiliated to Shando…

The outbreak of COVID-19 coronavirus disease around the end of 2019 has become a pandemic. The preferred method for COVID-19 detection is the real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)-based technique; however, it also has certain limitat…

PurposeTo evaluate the effect of ovarian endometrioma aspiration on IVF/ICSI outcomes.MethodsThe PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang databases were searched to identify studies related to the…

BACKGROUND: The management of adenomyosis is challenging and limiting. Qiu's Neiyi recipe (Qiu) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescription clinically used for endometriosis treatment in China, but the effect and mechanism of Qiu o…

BackgroundWindow of implantation (WOI) displacement is one of the endometrial origins of embryo implantation failure, especially repeated implantation failure (RIF). An accurate prediction tool for endometrial receptivity (ER) is extraordin…

APLN, APELA and their common receptor APLNR (composing the apelinergic axis) have been described in various species with extensive body distribution and multiple physiological functions. Recent studies have witnessed emerging intracellular …

Some fertility patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) experience ceased follicular growth during COH and fail to superovulate. In this article, 24 such PCOS patients resumed COH 1…

BackgroundThe highly conservative miR-15/107 family (also named as miR-15/107 gene group) including ten miRNA members is currently recognized strongly implicated in multiple human disorders. Some studies focus on the entire family rather th…

Mucins and their glycosylation have been suggested to play an important role in colorectal carcinogenesis. We examined potentially functional genetic variants in the mucin genes or genes involved in their glycosylation with respect to color…
