We investigated the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in the female partner of infertile couples and the reproductive outcomes after in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET). We …
Ovarian cancer (OC) often presents at an advanced stage and is still one of the most frequent causes of gynecological cancer-related mortality worldwide. The nuclear factor erythroid-2 (NFE2) transcription factors include nuclear factor, er…
As a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer (PG) has preventive and therapeutic effects on various diseases. Ginsenosides are main active ingredients of PG and have good pharmacological effects. Due to the diversity …
OBJECTIVE: Given the limitations of current anti-resorption agents for postmenopausal osteoporosis, there is a need for alternatives without impairing coupling crosstalk between bone resorption and bone formation ie. osteoclastogenesis. Pue…
Damage to sperm DNA was proposed to play an important role in embryonic development. Previous studies focused on outcomes after fresh embryo transfer, whereas this study investigated the influence of sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) on l…
Both genetic and microenvironmental detrimental factors are involved in ovarian dysfunction, leading to the increasing rate of involuntary childlessness in recent years. Oxidative stress (OS), which is characterized by the imbalance of redo…
Abstract Background: Endometriosis (EMS), an estrogen-dependent disease, is characterized by dysregulated inflammation and increased estrogen in ectopic lesions. However, the crosstalk and pathogenic mechanism of inflammation and estrogen h…
BACKGROUND: Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is used as a biomarker to estimate ovarian reserve. The relationship between AMH and early miscarriage of in vitro fertilization (IVF) is still inconclusive. This study aimed to explore whether serum…
Gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) is the most common biliary tract malignancy with the lowest survival rate, primarily arising from chronic inflammation. To better characterize the progression from inflammation to cancer to metastasis, we perform…
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore shared genetic etiology and the causality between smoking status and type 2 diabetes (T2D), cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), and related metabolic traits. METHODS: Using summary statistics from publicl…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis affects up to 10 % of women of reproductive age and can lead to infertility. Research investigating whether combined exposure to arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and mercury (Hg) is related to an increased ris…
BACKGROUND: The trends in deaths from and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) of endometriosis in China remain largely unknown. This study revealed these trends and the effects of age, period, and cohort on the death from and DALY of endo…
BACKGROUND: Ovarian malignant mesoderm mixed tumor (OMMMT) is a rare clinical entity. To provide reference for the treatment and prognosis of OMMMT, we analyzed the clinical features, pathology and molecular biology characteristic of publis…
OBJECTIVE: Although there has been increased utilization of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) in the world, there is no conclusive definition about the relationship between the success rate of ART and national wealth. METHODS: In th…
FET is to resuscitate the endometrium and transfer the embryo into the uterus after the endometrium is ready. The quality of transferred embryos is an important factor affecting the outcome of assisted reproductive technology. This paper ai…
Fibrosis, angiogenesis and chronic inflammation are the inherent characteristics of endometriosis (EMS). The cellular heterogeneity of ectopic and non-ectopic endometrium by single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq)at secretory phase without t…
Peptide drug development has made great progress in the last decade thanks to new production, modification, and analytic technologies. Peptides have been produced and modified using both chemical and biological methods, together with novel …
In recent years, the incidence of the reproductive diseases is increasing year-by-year, leading to abortion or fetal arrest, which seriously affects the reproductive health of human beings and the reproductive efficiency of animals. Exosome…
Some of the key steps in adenomyosis (AM) are the migration and invasion of adenomyosis derived cells (AMDC); these processes require rearrangement of the cytoskeleton which Rho/ROCK signaling pathway is involved. The aim of the current stu…
Background: Pernicious placenta previa (PPP) is one of the most dangerous complications in pregnancy after cesarean section, with high perinatal mortality. This study aimed to develop a nomogram to predict postpartum hemorrhage in patients …
Purpose: To investigate the correlation between pre-ablation ultrasound radiomics features and the sonication energy for focused ultrasound surgery (FUS) of benign breast tumors. Method: 53 benign breast tumors of 28 patients treated by ult…
BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disorder traditionally viewed as "elusive". Several excellent review papers have been published fairly recently on its pathogenesis, and several theories have been proposed. However, the fal…
BACKGROUND: Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is an autosomal dominant genetic neoplastic disorder caused by germline mutation or deletion of the VHL gene, characterized by the tendency to develop multisystem benign or malignant tumors. The m…
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a respiratory tract disease characterized by increased alveolar/capillary permeability, lung inflammation and structural damage to lung tissues, which can progress and transform into acute respiratory distress syn…
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) will become the second most common cause of death in North America and Europe over the next 10 years owing to the lack of early diagnosis, poor treatment, and poor prognosis. This study evaluated the …
