Background and purposeDopamine has multiple anti-inflammatory effects, but its role and molecular mechanism in acute pancreatitis (AP) are unclear. We investigated the role of dopamine signalling in the inflammatory response in AP.Experimen…

Apoptosis of pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMVECs) was considered to be closely related to the pathogenesis of acute lung injury (ALI). We aim to investigate whether IL-22 plays protective roles in lung injury through inhibitin…

Melatonin confers protective effects on premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) induced by tripterygium glycosides (TG) by reducing oxidative stress. Silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) signaling is found to be associated with the physiolo…

Gestation and delivery can increase intra-abdominal pressure, which are well-known risk factors for Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP). But the pathogenesis mechanism of POP remains unclear. Our previous research showed that the expression of glut…

The proportion of alcohol-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) in all ONFH patients was 30.7%, with males prevailing among the ONFH patients in mainland China (70.1%). Matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2), a member of the MMP gene …

The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) dose on the pulsatility indices (PI) of the intraovarian artery on the day of follicle aspiration and the oocyte quality, intrafollicular oxid…

BackgroundGenital Chlamydia infection (GCI) and the associated pathologies have been implicated in tubal infertility. Though the actual pathologic mechanisms are still uncertain, oxidative stress and other factors have been implicated. The …

Human endometrium decidualization, which involves endometrial stromal proliferation and differentiation, is a prerequisite for embryo implantation, thus successful pregnancy. The Forkhead Box M1 (FoxM1), previously known as HNF-3, HFH-11, M…

BackgroundThe Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (GBD 2013) aims to bring together all available epidemiological data using a coherent measurement framework, standardised estimation methods, and transparent data sources to enable compariso…

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) have a rather wide morphologic spectrum. Here, we report a rare variant plexiform GIST in gastric antrum. Microscopically, the tumor showed plexiform or multinodular growth pattern, proliferation of s…

ObjectiveTo explore the association between the genetic variant of E-cadherin gene and endometriosis-related infertility.DesignCase-control study.SettingUniversity hospital.Patient(s)Five hundred eighty-nine women with ovarian endometriosis…

It is speculated that genetically modified food (GMF)/genetically modified organism (GMO) is responsible for infertility development. The risk linked with a wide use of GMFs/GMOs offers the basic elements for social criticism. However, to d…

ObjectiveMouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have been demonstrated to differentiate into female endometrial epithelial cells (EECs) in vivo. Our previous studies demonstrated that BMSCs can differentiate in the direction of EE…

Sperm morphology is the best predictor of fertilization potential, and the critical predictive information for supporting assisted reproductive methods selection. Given its important predictive value and the declining reality of semen quali…

OBJECTIVE: To study the effectiveness and safety of combined laparoscopy and gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) in the treatment of endometriosis (EM). METHODS: From January to December 2010, 198 patients with EM undergoing tre…

ObjectiveTo investigate the action of nuclear factor (NF)-κB in adenomyosis and evaluate the potential therapeutic effect of andrographolide on tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-induced expression of NF-κB-mediated genes cyclooxygease-2 (COX-2)…

AIM: To investigate whether intrinsic ureteral endometriosis could be managed by laser endoureterotomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We studied retrospectively 6 patients with intrinsic ureteral endometriosis who underwent laser endoureterotomy an…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression and signification of B-cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 (bcl-2), bax and ER proteins in epithelial cells in different depth of adenomyosis. METHODS: Expression and correlation of bcl-2, bax and ER proteins w…

BACKGROUND: Wide excision is considered the treatment of endometriosis. It is difficult to surgeon for reconstruction of a large full-thickness defect through the abdominal-wall. We introduce a method of mini-abdominoplasty combined with me…

OBJECTIVE: To identify the differential expressed proteins, and to investigate the relationship between altered expression of annexin A4 during window of implantation [WOI (at day-6 after ovulatory day)] in infertile patients with endometri…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence on ovarian reserve function in treatment of ovarian endometriotic cyst by laparoscopic cystectomy with various hemostasis management. METHODS: From September 2007 to August 2008, 61 patients with bila…

We recently reported the use of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) Fourier transformation mass spectrometry (FTMS) techniques to identify unique glycan markers in ovarian cancer cell lines which may be biomarkers for diagno…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) before and after conservative laparoscopic surgery in patients with endometriosis. METHODS: The TNF-alpha and IL-6 levels in serum and pe…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinic manifestations, diagnostic methods and principles of management in the secondary infection of the endometriotic cysts of ovary. METHODS: Thirteen cases of the infected ovarian endometriotic cysts were analys…
