AIM: High mobility group box (HMGB)-1 has been implicated in endometriosis due to the important regulatory roles of inflammation in endometriosis. The aim of the present study was to explore the roles of HMGB-1 in endometriosis and to eluci…

BACKGROUND: SLE, which is common in women, is commonly treated with HCQ, an anti-inflammation medication. Reproductive-age women with SLE are prone to be impacted by endometriosis. This study analyzes the relationship between HCQ and endome…

Ovarian serous carcinoma (OSC), as a common malignant tumor, poses a serious threat to women's health in that epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT)-related modulation becomes heavily implicated in the invasion and progression of OSC. …

BACKGROUND: Puerarin is a root extract of Pueraria lobate that can alleviate the behavioral disorders and could be therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, the underlying mechanism of puerarin in PTSD is unclear, so, we h…

We and others have previously shown that abnormal pelvic environment plays an important role in the unexplained infertility of endometriosis. However, whether iron overload caused by ectopic periodic bleeding found in patients with endometr…

Objectives: To investigate the clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis of leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD) following laparoscopic surgery with uncontained morcellation and to summarize clinical features of iatrogenic …

Menstruation is an important indicator of women's health. Identification of abnormal menstrual patterns in adolescence may improve early diagnosis of potential health concerns in adulthood. This study aimed to evaluate menstrual patterns an…

In order to recapitulate the best available evidence of milk consumption and multiple health-related outcomes, we performed an umbrella review of meta-analyses and systematic reviews in humans. Totally, 41 meta-analyses with 45 unique healt…

Global DNA hypomethylation is a most common epigenetic alteration in human neoplasia. However, accumulative evidence shows that global DNA hypomethylation impacts tumorigenesis in a tissue-specific manner, promoting tumorigenesis in some bu…

BACKGROUND: Tumor angiogenesis, an essential process for cancer proliferation and metastasis, has a critical role in prognostic of kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), as well as a target in guiding treatment with antiangiogenic agents…

Background: Endometriosis (EMS) is an estrogen-dependent disease in which endometrial glands and stroma arise outside the uterus. Current studies have suggested that the number and function of immune cells are abnormal in the abdominal flui…

BackgroundMultiple organ failure (MOF) may lead to an increased mortality rate of moderately severe (MSAP) or severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). This study is aimed to use machine learning to predict the risk of MOF in the course of disease.M…

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is 1 of the highly fatal and most aggressive types of malignancies and accounts for the vast majority of Pancreatic Cancer. Numerous studies have reported that the tumor microenvironment (TME) was sig…

BACKGROUND: Our study aimed to investigate if serum prolactin (PRL) levels associated with insulin resistance and beta-cell dysfunction in infertile patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). METHODS: This was a retrospective cross-se…

Vitamin D deficiency is very common in women of reproductive age. Studies in animals suggests a link between vitamin D and reproductive hormone biosynthesis. A systematic analysis of the correlation of reproductive hormones in reproductive-…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease. Studies have shown that miR-139-5p is significantly upregulated in endometriosis lesions, but its specific role and molecule mechanism in endometriosis has not yet been reported. The malignant…

PURPOSE: This study assessed the predictive value of the preoperative systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII) for lymph node metastasis (LNM) in endometrial cancer (EC) patients. METHODS: We retrospectively included 392 EC patients betwee…

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas. The severity is classified as mild (MAP), moderately severe (MSAP), or severe (SAP). In patients with SAP, organ dysfunction can occur in the early stage of the disease cou…

Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory disorder of the pancreas associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, which is characterized by a rapid depletion of glutathione (GSH). Cysthionine-β-synthase (CBS) is a key coenzyme in GSH synt…

BACKGROUND: In polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), ovarian physiology is tightly linked to the metabolic disturbances observed in this disease. Vitamin D (VD) plays an important role in the regulation of ovulatory dysfunction and can influenc…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common reproductive endocrine disease characterized by persistent anovulation and hyperandrogenism, affecting approximately 8-10% of women of childbearing age and occupying an important position in the …

Genetic polymorphisms of NEIL1 and NEIL2 maybe change protein function, and increased carcinogenesis. In this study, seven NEIL1 SNPs and three NEIL2 SNPs were selected. 400 CSCCs, 400 CIN III, and 1200 normal healthy controls were genotype…

Study objective: To generate and validate nomograms to predict any-stage and stage III-IV endometriosis before surgery in infertile women. Design: A single center retrospective cohort study. Setting: University affiliated hospital. Patients…

This study aims to investigate the embryo development potential of extending the culture of abnormally fertilized zygotes with no pronuclear (0PN), monopronuclear (1PN), and poor-quality day 3 embryos and to determine the associated clinica…
