Endometrial damage is an important cause of female reproductive problems, manifested as menstrual abnormalities, infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, and other complications. These conditions are collectively termed "Asherman syndrome" (A…
OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of aging on ovarian circadian rhythm. DESIGN: Human and animal study. SETTING: University hospital and research laboratory. PATIENTS/ANIMALS: Human granulosa cells were obtained by follicular aspiration fro…
Women with endometriosis may have a defective immune system. However, evidence of the immune responses of endometriosis patients with a history of endometriosis surgery is lacking, and the association between the location of endometriosis l…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a painful disorder characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Here, we investigated the effects of the cinnamic acid isolated from the Chinese medicinal plant Cinnamomum cassia…
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) in the let-7 family have established regulatory roles in pregnancy; in this study, we evaluated whether miRNAs detectable in the circulation are associated with the ovarian response to stimulation.In total, 25 patients wi…
BACKGROUND: Antithrombotic therapies are associated with an increased bleeding risk. Abnormal uterine bleeding data have been reported in clinical trials of patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE), but data are limited for patients with …
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of two treatments on the outcome of freeze-thaw embryo transfer for pregnancy assistance in thin endometrium. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on 66 patients who failed in the first cycle tr…
Novel biomarkers are needed to accelerate the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis. We performed RNA sequencing to explore the expression profiles of exosomal circular RNAs (circRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs) and mRNAs in patients with ovari…
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the effect of miR-451 on IVF/ICSI-ET outcome in endometriosis patients with infertility. METHODS: Eighty patients with endometriosis and infertility who came to our hospital for IVF/ICSI-ET from Febru…
BACKGROUND: Anxiety and depression are the most common psychological causes of distress in infertile women. Our study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of depression and anxiety and investigate the effects of self-esteem on the association o…
Adenomyosis is one of the most common gynecological disorders that the molecular events underlying its pathogenesis remain not fully understood. Prior studies have shown that endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) played crucial roles in the path…
Abstract BackgroundTo determine whether Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist down regulation combined with hormone replacement treatment (HRT) can improve the reproductive outcomes in the frozen thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycle o…
Predisposition of germline BRCA1/2 mutations (gBRCAMUT ) increases the risk of breast and ovarian cancer in females, but the mutation prevalence and spectrum are highly ethnicity-specific with different recurrent mutations being reported in…
BACKGROUND: Interleukin-1 receptor type II (IL-1R2), also known as CD121b, is a member of the IL-1 receptor family. IL-1R2 acts as negative regulator of the IL-1 system, modulating IL-1 availability for the signaling receptor. IL-1R2 is abn…
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute vasculitis of pediatric populations that may develop coronary artery aneurysms if untreated. It has been regarded as the principal cause of acquired heart disease in children of the developed countries. Int…
BACKGROUND: Drug repositioning, meanings finding new uses for existing drugs, which can accelerate the processing of new drugs research and development. Various computational methods have been presented to predict novel drug-disease associa…
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder resulting in pelvic pain and infertility. The role of T helper 17 (Th17) cells in endometriosis remains elusive. In this study, through detecting CXCR3, CCR4, CCR10, CCR6, interleukin-17 Rece…
OBJECTIVES: Chlamydia trachomatis is a pathogen which can cause hydrosalpinx and tubal fibrosis when infecting the urogenital tract. However, the mechanism is still not clear. There is growing evidence that the gut microbiota is associated …
Endometriosis is a common estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease that leads to infertility in women of reproductive age. Perhaps infertility reflects the reduced expression of integrin αvβ3 and HOXA10 in endometriosis. Previous stu…
AIM: Study the effect of low-dose aspirin on the endometrial receptivity in endometriosis rat models. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study is to explore the expressions of progesterone receptor and LIF among three groups of endometriosis rat …
BACKGROUND: Many studies have demonstrated the positive clinical value of progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) who underwent assisted reproductive technology. However, the underlying …
Abstract Our previous two-dimensional electrophoresis experiments showed that the expression of LASP1 in patients with endometriosis was significantly higher than that of control endometrium. However, the molecular mechanism by which LASP1 …
AIMS: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas that may affect local tissues or remote organ systems, while severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is a life-threatening disorder associated with multiple organ failure. In …
Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is one of the most prevalent reproductive system diseases in females. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are reported to be master regulators in a variety of diseases, including IUA, but the role of microRNA-543 (miR-543) in IUA…
The role of PLAC8 in tumorigenesis has been gradually elucidated with the development of research. Although there are common molecular mechanisms that enforce cell growth, the impact of PLAC8 is varied and can, in some instances, have oppos…
