ObjectiveTo investigate the implications of serum hsa_circ_0007534 levels in ovarian cancer (OC) patients.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 102 OC patients, and 102 healthy controls (HCs) were included in…
Previous ultrasound studies suggest that patients with adenomyosis (AM) exhibit increased uterine cavity stiffness, although direct evidence regarding extracellular matrix (ECM) content and its specific impact on endometrial stiffness remai…
PurposeTo explore whether spermatozoa from AZFc microdeletion patients affect their outcomes of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).MethodsEighty-five patients with AZFc microdeletion were recruited. A control group of one hundred and f…
We performed clinical treatment, histopathology, immunohistochemistry and molecular analyses. To compare with the published literature and have a reference overview. A 57-year-old woman and a 77-year-old woman presented with mesonephric-lik…
Xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) enriched with high fractions of X2-X3 are regarded as an effective prebiotic for regulating the intestinal microflora. In this study, the original XOS solution was obtained from bamboo shoots through hydrothermal…
Recently, it has been proposed that epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a key role in the development of endometriosis (EMs). Although EMs is a benign disease, it has the characteristics of malignant tumors, such as invasion and m…
BACKGROUND: T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-containing molecule-3 (TIM-3) initially discovered on the surface of Th1 cells, negatively regulates immune responses and mediates apoptosis of Th1 cells. An increasing number of studies ha…
BackgroundPhysical activity (PA) may protect against infertility by modulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, thereby reducing gonadotropin levels, elevating immune function, and inhibiting inflammation and circulating sex hormone…
BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common causes of anovulatory infertility. Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) has many advantages in treating PCOS. We conducted a retrospective cohort study to investigate the effects…
BackgroundChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive disease characterized by chronic inflammation and airway remodeling. Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) plays a critical role in various inflammatory or fibrotic diseases…
IntroductionAcute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease with very poor outcomes. However, the order of induction and coordinated interactions of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and compensatory anti-inflammatory respon…
Cells communication in response to extracellular or biophysical stimulus relies on elaborated systems of signal transduction. In the course of most signal pathway, the cascades involve signal protein complexes, which are often assembled by …
(1) The accuracy of patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) in predicting ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) efficacy in ovarian cancer was tested, novel biomarkers were investigated, and whether PARPis could replace platinum-based chemother…
Endometriosis (EM) is a common gynecological disease, and its pathological process is accompanied by the migration and proliferation of uterine cells. Berberine (BBR) has been shown to exhibit antitumor activity; however, the effects of BBR…
Mast cells (MCs) play a pivotal role in the hypersensitivity reaction by regulating the innate and adaptive immune responses. Humans have two types of MCs. The first type, termed MCTC, is found in the skin and other connective tissues and e…
PurposeTo uncover potential diagnostic biomarkers for endocervical adenocarcinoma (EAC) and adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS).Experimental designQuantitative label-free liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-E…
BackgroundOvarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is the second subtype of ovarian epithelial carcinoma reported to be closely related to Lynch syndrome (LS). ARID1A mutation is an important pathogenetic mechanism in OCCC that leads to loss of …
Infertility is becoming much more common and affects more couples. The past years witnessed the rapid development of the diagnosis and treatment upon infertility, which give numerous coupled more opportunities become parents. Extracellular …
Endometriosis is a benign disease that shares some malignant features. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Metastasis-associated protein 1 (MTA1) plays an important role in various cance…
BackgroundFemale reproductive tumors are common with high morbidity and mortality worldwide; however, the association between gynecological tumors and serum vitamin D is controversial. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the relat…
PurposeMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that play critical roles in post-transcriptional gene expression regulation. The aim of this study was to identify differentially expressed miRNAs in decidua and villus of recurre…
BackgroundIn central precocious puberty (CPP), the pulse secretion and release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) are increased due to early activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, resulting in developmental abnormaliti…
PurposeTo probe the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC).MethodsThis study retrospectively collected MRI data for 21 pathology-confirmed OCCCs from 19 female patients. The MRI findings were analyz…
To investigate the effectiveness of laparoscopic uterine artery occlusion combined with myomectomy for uterine fibroids. From August 2008 to August 2009, forty-eight women with uterine fibroids desiring to preserve their uteri underwent lap…
To explore the initial activity of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) and the participation of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in the histogenesis of endometriosis, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secretion of ESCs and th…
