Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a relatively rare chronic fibroinflammatory disorder of the pancreas caused by autoimmune mechanisms. Patients with this condition generally show a clear response to glucocorticoid therapy. Notably, its clin…
The independent causal effects of interrelated lifestyle behaviors and psychological states on women's gynecologic and obstetric health remain incompletely understood. We conducted a comprehensive Mendelian randomization (MR) study to disen…
Polycystic ovary syndrome is the primary cause of female infertility. Growing evidence suggests that dysregulation of amino acid metabolism plays a significant role in the onset and progression. However, the underlying mechanism remains unc…
This study aims to assess the diagnostic performance of transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) and create a multivariable risk stratification model to detect endometrial malignancy and precursor lesions in postmenopausal women with asymptomatic end…
Pain, an unpleasant but essential feeling for life, affects more than 20% of the global population and burdens health and the economy. Due to the lack of understanding of the exact fundamental mechanism, the existing therapeutic strategies …
Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease that causes severe pain and infertility. However, the available treatments for EMS are limited. SCM-198, a synthetic form of leonurine, possesses various abilities, including anti-inflammatory…
The DNA repair enzyme 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase-1 (OGG1) plays a crucial role in the initiation of DNA base excision repair pathway by recognizing and excising the oxidative base lesions including 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG). Beyon…
The deregulation of fatty acid metabolism plays a pivotal role in cancer. Our objective is to construct a prognostic model for patients with endometrial carcinoma (EC) based on genes related to fatty acid metabolism-related genes (FAMGs). R…
Endometriosis is a frequent, chronic, estrogen-dependent and inflammatory gynecological disease leading to pain and infertility. Clinical and metabolic studies reveal that patients with endometriosis are susceptible to hyperlipemia and lipi…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease affecting women of reproductive age; however, the mechanisms underlying this condition are not fully clear. The aim of this study was to identify functional long non-coding RNAs (l…
BACKGROUND: Patients with acute pancreatitis usually exhibit dyslipidemia and oxidative stress. However, the significance of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level and the HDL-C…
OBJECTIVE: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of different hormonal biomarkers and to find the most effective hormonal biomarker for the diagnosis of endometriosis. DATA SOURCES: We conducted a systematic search using PubMed, EMBASE, Cochr…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a major cause of disability and compromised the quality of life in women and teenage girls. The gold standard for diagnosis of endometriosis is laparoscopy with histology of excised endometriosis lesions. Howeve…
AIM: The aim of the present study was to compare the expression of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in eutopic and ectopic endometria of women with endometriosis and eutopic endometria of women without endometriosis, and to inve…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of claudin-3 and claudin-4 in the eutopic and ectopic endometrium of women with endometriosis and to evaluate the role of claudin-3 and claudin-4 in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. DESIGN: Cross-…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of claudin-4 in the eutopic and ectopic endometrium of women with endometriosis and evaluate the role of claudin-4 in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. METHODS: Thirty-five women with endometriosis…
Objective To investigate the impact of ovarian carcinoma cells on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) in human peritoneal mesothelial cells(HPMC). Methods HPMC was incubated with ovarian carcinoma cell line in SKOV3 c…
