BackgroundEvidence from observational studies and clinical trials has associated gut microbiota with infectious diseases. However, the causal relationship between gut microbiota and infectious diseases remains unclear.MethodsWe identified g…

Since the advent of conventional multiport laparoscopic surgery, the prosperity of minimally invasive surgery has been thriving on the advancement of endoscopic techniques. Cosmetic superiority, recovery benefits, and noninferior surgical o…

Pancreatic cancer is a malignancy with extremely poor prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the application value of tumour markers and matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) in predicting clinical staging and lymph node metastasis of panc…

INTRODUCTION: The endometrial microbiota plays an essential role in the health of the female reproductive system. However, the interactions between the microbes in the endometrium and their effects on adenomyosis remain obscure. MATERIALS …

BackgroundN6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification plays key roles in tumor progression. LncRNA deoxyguanosine kinase antisense RNA 1 (DGUOK-AS1) has been reported as a promoter in tumors, but its role and mechanism in non-small cell lung canc…

Adenomyosis (ADS) is a common benign gynecological disease. Abnormal proliferation at the endometrial-myometrial interface (EMI) plays a crucial role in the occurrence and progression of ADS. miR-141-3p is associated with cell proliferation…

BackgroundThe aim of the study was to investigate the value of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) in differentiating TP53-mutant from wild type, low-risk from non-low-risk …

The sirtuin family, a group of NAD+-dependent class 3 histone deacetylases (HDACs), was extensively studied initially as a group of longevity genes that are activated in caloric restriction and act in concert with nicotinamide adenine dinuc…

BACKGROUND: Hysteroscopic metroplasty of the uterine septum has been the standard treatment strategy to improve reproductive outcomes, but there are still controversies about the appropriateness of metroplasty. In addition, there have been …

BackgroundThe incidence of Y chromosome microdeletions varies among men with infertility across regions and ethnicities worldwide. However, comprehensive epidemiological studies on Y chromosome microdeletions in Chinese men with infertility…

BackgroundNicotinamide (NAM) is an important antioxidant, which is closely related to female fertility, but its role has not been clearly elucidated. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of NAM on follicular devel…

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are gene expression regulators and changes in miRNA levels are associated with diabetes, insulin resistance, and inflammation, the latter two of which are characteristic of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The purpose of…

The uterus and breasts are hormone-responsive tissues. Progesterone and estradiol regulate gonadotropin secretion, prepare the endometrium for implantation, maintain pregnancy, and regulate the differentiation of breast tissue. Dysregulatio…

Single-cell omics is the profiling of individual cells through sequencing and other technologies including high-throughput analysis for single-cell resolution, cell classification, and identification as well as time series analyses. Unlike …

BACKGROUND: Uterine adenomyosis is associated with chronic pelvic pain, abnormal uterine bleeding, and infertility. The pathogenesis of adenomyosis is still unclear. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been implicated in several benign diseases a…

In clinical practice, ovarian pregnancy is extremely rare and is always found to be ruptured. A definitive diagnosis for ruptured ovarian pregnancy is difficult to obtain. We present two cases of unruptured ovarian pregnancies detected duri…

Epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) is one of the most common gynecologic malignancies with a high mortality rate. Serum biomarkers and imaging approaches are insufficient in identifying EOC patients at an early stage. This study is to set u…

Abstract Background: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been recognized as a regulator in the formation and maintenance of chronic pain in various chronic disorders. BDNF together with its high-affinity tyrosine kinase type B (Trk…

Abstract Background: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been recognized as a regulator in the formation and maintenance of chronic pain in various chronic disorders. BDNF together with its high-affinity tyrosine kinase type B (Trk…

Background: Reproductive outcomes after fresh in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection–embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI–ET) cycles are diverse in infertile women with a history of ovarian cystectomy for endometriomas. We aimed to de…

BackgroundIn a previous study, we reported that amnion promotes endometrial cell growth by regulating cytokines. In this study, hierarchical cluster analysis enabled the evaluation of cytokine expression changes after amnion treatment to be…

Recently, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have attracted great attention from researchers. LncRNAs are non-protein-coding RNAs of more than 200 nucleotides in length. Multiple studies have been published on the relationship between lncRNA exp…

Symptoms associated with lung cancer mainly consist of cancer-associated pain, cough, fatigue, and dyspnea. However, underlying mechanisms of lung cancer symptom clusters remain unclear. There remains a paucity of effective treatment to ame…

BACKGROUND: The denomyotic junctional zone (JZ) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of adenomyosis. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is an important nuclear marker of cell proliferation. This study aimed to evaluate the eff…

Abstract Adenomyosis (ADS) is an estrogen-dependent gynecological disease with unspecified etiopathogenesis. Local hyperestrogenism may serve a central role in contributing the origin of ADS. Talin1 is mostly identified to be overexpressed …
