PURPOSE: This study aims to investigate the role of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in corneal tissue repair in alkali burn and its underlying neuro-immune mechanisms. METHODS: Mouse corneal nerves were ablated via surgery or resini…
OBJECTIVE: Lower genital tract microbiome dysbiosis has been associated with several gynecological diseases. However, the differences in microbiome composition among patients with several gynecological diseases, such as endometrial polyps a…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correlation between preoperative pathologic characteristics and the risk of postoperative recurrence in endometriosis (EMs) patients, and to develop a clinical predictive model. METHODS: A retrospective analys…
OBJECTIVE: Rectal cancer has a high incidence and its onset age is getting younger. Currently, conventional laparoscopic surgery can no longer meet the clinical requirements for surgical incisions. Natural orifice specimen extraction surger…
BACKGROUND: The molecular mechanisms underlying window of implantation (WOI) displacement in patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) remain unclear. This study aims to explore the transcriptomic signatures of endometrium with nor…
Introduction Endometriosis is a reproductive disorder closely associated with hypoxia stress. Increasing evidences have implied the important roles of angiotensin II (ANG II) receptors in the pathophysiology of endometriosis. Thus, we specu…
BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of Behçet's disease (BD) remains challenging due to the lack of diagnostic biomarkers. This study aims to identify potential serum metabolites associated with BD and its disease activity. METHODS: Medical records …
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis, which shares certain characteristics with cancers, may cause abnormal expression of proteins involved in cell migration. Endometrial epithelial cells (EECs) are believed to play an important role in endometriotic …
BACKGROUND/AIMS: We tried to investigate the expression characteristics of KAI1, a suppressor of wide-spectrum tumor metastasis, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), the most common angiogenesis factor, and then to analyze their d…
