BACKGROUND: Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) remains a critical and challenging problem in assisted reproductive technology mainly due to impaired decidualization. The endocytic and transcytotic activity in the endometrium are crucial f…

Growing evidence indicates that the tumor biomarker cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA21-1) is significant for a variety of cancers. However, its role in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) has rarely been reported. In this study, a receiver operat…

Endometriosis is a common chronic gynecologic disorder characterized by the presence and growth of endometrial-like tissue outside of the uterine cavity. Although the exact etiology remains unclear, epigenetic modifications, such as DNA met…

Uterine cervical cancer (UCC) causes more than one quarter of a million deaths per year in many developing countries. Nearly all cases of cervical cancer result from infection with the human papillomavirus. After high-risk HPV infection, mo…

Purpose: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have recently received more attention for their roles in tumor progression. LINC00261 was studied in this research to identify how it affects the progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Meth…

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological malignancy worldwide. Most patients are diagnosed at late stages because of atypical symptoms and the lack of effective early diagnostic measures. The mechanisms underlying the oncogenesis and…

Impaired decidualization has been considered a major cause of infertility in adenomyosis. However, the mechanism remains poorly understood. Recent studies suggest that microRNAs (miRNA) play a crucial role in embryo implantation. The aim of…

CONTEXT: Despite extensive searches for novel noninvasive diagnostics, laparoscopy remains the reference test for endometriosis. Circulating miRNAs are purported endometriosis biomarkers; however, the miRNA species and their diagnostic accu…

OBJECTIVE: To establish a model for predicting revised American Society of Reproductive Medicine (rASRM) scores before endometrioma surgery based on serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) level and to identify factors that might reliably predic…

Abstract Background: Serum levels of cancer antigen 125 (CA125) are reportedly closely associated with the extent of adenomyosis. However, the association between serum CA125 levels before hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and the clinical…

BACKGROUND: Chemokines are small chemotactic cytokines involved in inflammation, cell migration, and immune regulation in both physiological and pathological contexts. Here, we investigated the profile of chemokines during primary HIV infec…

Abstract Background This retrospective study aimed (1) to evaluate the value of enhanced T2 star-weighted angiography (ESWAN) in diagnosis Adenomyosis(AM). And (2) to estimate the differences of focal AM patients lesion and the peripheral t…

Recent research revealed that tissue spray mass spectrometry enables rapid molecular profiling of biological tissues, which is of great importance for the search of disease biomarkers as well as for online surgery control. However, the payb…

In recent years, the study of oxidative stress (OS) has become increasingly popular. In particular, the role of OS on female fertility is very important and has been focused on closely. The occurrence of OS is due to the excessive productio…

Endometrial cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer of the female reproductive tract in developed countries. Through genome-wide association studies (GWAS), we have previously identified eight risk loci for endometrial cancer. Here, we…

Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) caused by various etiological factors remains a challenge for fertility clinicians using assisted reproductive technology (ART) worldwide. Dysregulation of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) in the endomet…

Increasing evidence suggests that metformin use is associated with a decreased risk of cancer. The traditional therapies for gastric cancer (GC) are gastrectomy and chemoradiotherapy; however, these therapies may cause certain adverse effec…

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the heterotopic pregnancy rate using fresh versus frozen-thawed embryo transfers and factors associated with heterotopic pregnancy (HP). Management and clinical outcomes after heterotopic …

BACKGROUND: The human uterus is traditionally believed to be sterile, while the vaginal microbiota plays an important role in fending off pathogens. Emerging evidence demonstrates the presence of bacteria beyond the vagina. However, a micro…

Hormone therapy drugs, such as bicalutamide and enzalutamide, directed against prostate cancer focus on androgen receptor (AR) signaling and are initially effective, but the disease progresses to lethality as resistance to these drugs devel…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To introduce a method for the rapid assessment of endometriotic tissues using direct mass spectrometry (MS)-based lipidomics. DESIGN: A prospective observational cohort study (Canadian Task Force classification II2). SETT…

Obtaining fast screening information on molecular composition of a tissue sample is of great importance for a disease biomarkers search and for online surgery control. In this study, high resolution mass spectrometry analysis of eutopic and…

Previous studies have demonstrated that matriptase is involved in degradation of the extracellular matrix and angiogenesis, and is overexpressed in certain forms of epithelial cancer. The present study aimed to examine matriptase expression…

Breast cancer is the fifth most common cause of cancer death in the world and the second most common fatal cancer in women. Epidemiological studies and clinical data have indicated that hormones, including estrogen, progesterone, and prolac…

Remifentanil-induced secondary hyperalgesia has been demonstrated in both animal experiments and clinical trials. Enhancement of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor trafficking as well as protein kinase C (PKC) and calmodulin-dependent pro…
