This study aimed to explore the effects of endometriosis (EMS)-derived exosomes and miR-301a-3p on the polarization of macrophages and investigate the involved molecular mechanism. The exosomes were isolated from ectopic endometrial tissues…
Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic disease that can cause dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility, among other symptoms. EMS diagnosis is often delayed compared to other chronic diseases, and there are currently no accurate, easily…
BACKGROUND: The expression of homeobox A10 (HOXA10) in endometrial stromal cells is regulated by steroid hormones, especially by estrogen. As a precursor molecule of estrogen, abnormal cholesterol metabolism is significantly positively corr…
Peritoneal macrophages play a significant role in the progression of endometriosis (EM), but their functional differentiation is still unclear, and their phagocytic ability is weak. CD47-signal-regulated protein α (SIRPα) and PD-L1-PD-1 are…
Colorectal cancer incidence and mortality have increased in recent years, with more than half of patients who died of colorectal cancer developing liver metastases. Consequently, colorectal cancer liver metastasis is the focus of clinical t…
Endometriosis (EMS) is a common gynecological disease. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), which induces chronic pelvic inflammation and cell pyroptosis, a form of programmed cell death based on inflammasome activation, are involved in EMS, but the ex…
With a younger tendency in morbidity age, endometrial cancer (EC) incidence has grown year after year. Worse, even more commonly occurring is endometrial hyperplasia (EH), which is a precancerous endometrial proliferation. For young women w…
ObjectiveGiven the limitations of current anti-resorption agents for postmenopausal osteoporosis, there is a need for alternatives without impairing coupling crosstalk between bone resorption and bone formation ie. osteoclastogenesis. Puera…
BackgroundClinicians in the United States have rapidly adopted opportunistic salpingectomy for ovarian cancer prevention. However, little is known about racial and ethnic differences in opportunistic salpingectomy adoption. Surgical innovat…
BackgroundAlbeit oxidative stress has been implied in the pathogenesis of tubal pregnancy (TP), there are scant data to suggest that ferroptosis occurs in TP. Shikonin plays a pivotal role in redox status, but whether it can regulate ferrop…
BackgroundLittle is known regarding life-course trajectories of important diseases. We aimed to identify diseases that were strongly associated with mortality and test temporal trajectories of these diseases before mortality.MethodsOur anal…
Triptorelin is one of the most commonly used gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists and has been used in the treatment of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of up to 24 weeks of trip…
As an important part of the human intestinal microecology, the intestinal flora is involved in a number of physiological functions of the host. Several studies have shown that imbalance of intestinal flora and its regulation of the intestin…
ObjectiveUnexplained infertility (UIF) or recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) affects 10%-15% of couples in their reproductive years and is multifactorial and not completely elucidated. In this study, we attempt to determine the endometrial expr…
BackgroundGut microbes were closely related to women's health. Previous studies reported that the gut microbes of premenopausal women were different from those of postmenopausal women. However, little was known about the relationship betwee…
Anaphylaxis due to autoimmune progesterone dermatitis is a rare but severe allergic disease in women. The clinical manifestations of APD are diverse, and a proper understanding of the disease can help even diagnose and treat it. A case of a…
BackgroundAcute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disorder of the pancreas that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Chaiqin chengqi decoction (CQCQD) has been proven clinically to be an effective treatment for AP for …
A significant unmet need for new contraceptive options for both women and men remains due to side-effect profiles, medical concerns, and the inconvenience of many currently available contraceptive products. Unfortunately, the development of…
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical application of gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH-ant) in patients with failed pregnancy assisted by the previous long-term regimen during early follicular phase (EFP).MethodsA total of 122 …
To evaluate the safety and feasibility of treating stage I-IV endometriosis patients with robotic single-site surgery (RSSS). A retrospective chart review was conducted on 334 patients with endometriosis treated by a single surgeon at a uni…
Abstract Background: Simultaneously malignant transformation from both uterine adenomyoma and deep endometriotic lesions is very rare. Case presentation: We present a case of a 44-year-old nulliparous woman begun with abdominal pain and int…
Previous studies showed that the chemotherapeutic effect of temozolomide (TMZ) and vincristine (VCR) against glioma might be blunted by the co-culture with astrocytes, and connexin-43 (CX43) was thought to play a vital role in the communica…
BackgroundParental body mass index (BMI) is associated with pregnancy outcomes. But the effect of parental prepregnancy BMI on offspring conceived via in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), especially the b…
In order to find out to what extent ovarian aging could be compensated by the in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) treatments, a total of 4102 women above the age of 35 undergoing 6489 complete cycles from 2009…
