OBJECTIVES: To systematically assess the associations between various immune-mediated diseases (IMDs) and human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated diseases. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: UK Biobank. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 5…
Soluble guanylate cyclase agonists and guanylate cyclase C agonists are two popular drugs for diseases of the cardiovascular system and digestive systems. The common denominator in these conditions is the potential therapeutic target of gua…
Endometriosis is a common chronic gynecological disease with endometrial cell implantation outside the uterus. Angiogenesis is a major pathophysiology in endometriosis. Our previous studies have demonstrated that the prodrug of epigallocate…
The well-known impact of ovarian endometriosis on female quality of life and the established role of lncRNA LINC01465 in ovarian cancer pathogenesis have been extensively documented; however, the relationship between LINC01465 and ovarian e…
OBJECTIVES: The study investigated the stem cell expression profiles and differentiation capacities of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from different tissues, specifically human eutopic endometrium MSCs (eut-MSCs), ectopic endometrium MSCs (e…
This study aimed to identify the key genes involved in the development of endometriosis and construct an accurate predictive model to provide new directions for the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis. Using bioinformatics analysis, we…
Endometriosis is a chronic, painful disease whose etiology remains unknown. The development of novel therapies and diagnostic tools for endometriosis has been limited due in part to challenges in studying the disease. Recently, a few report…
OBJECTIVE: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the effects of Mediterranean diet on female reproductive health outcomes over the life-course. DATA SOURCES: We searched PubMed, Embase, MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of…
MicroRNAs (miRs) play an important role in the pathophysiology of endometriosis; however, the role of miR-210 in endometriosis remains unclear. This study explores the role of miR-210 and its targets, IGFBP3 and COL8A1, in ectopic lesion gr…
BACKGROUND: According to previous literatures, plasma thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) level was significantly elevated in various malignant tumors and serve as a potential biomarker for diagnosis and prognostic prediction. However, there is li…
The development and progression of endometriotic lesions are poorly understood, but immune cell dysfunction and inflammation are closely associated with the pathophysiology of endometriosis. There is a need for 3D in vitro models to permit …
BACKGROUND: Recent studies have identified ribonucleotide reductase subunit M2 (RRM2) as a putative promoter of tumors. However, no systematic analysis of its carcinogenicity has been conducted. METHODS: The potential functions of RRM2 in …
Uterus transplantation has become an option for women suffering from some form of infertility. Current review discusses key physiological functions of the endometrium requiring the transition of tissue cells between the mesenchyme and epith…
ABSTRACT The development and progression of endometriotic lesions are poorly understood, but immune cell dysfunction and inflammation are closely associated with the pathophysiology of endometriosis. A lack of suitable 3D in vitro models pe…
Increasing evidence has verified the indispensable effect of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the biological processes of human diseases, including endometriosis. hsa-miR-340-5p was reported to display a low level in patients with endometriosis, but t…
Endometriosis (EMs) is one of the most frequent diseases of reproductive-age women and is characterized by the growth of endometrial tissues beyond the uterus. The enhanced proliferative and migratory potential of endometrial stromal cells …
METHODS: We conducted a literature search on the bioactive components of medicinal plants and their effects on angiogenesis after MI. We searched for articles in Web of Science, MEDLINE, PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and China National Kn…
KiSS-1, first identified as an anti-metastasis gene in melanoma, encodes C-terminally amidated peptide products, including kisspeptin-145, kisspeptin-54, kisspeptin-14, kisspeptin-13 and kisspeptin-10. These products are endogenous ligands …
Endometriosis (EMS) is a prevalent disease in women characterized by the presence of endometrial stroma and glands outside the uterus. Recent studies have showed that EMS is correlated with the resistance of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs)…
The endometrium is one of the most dynamic organs in the human body. Until now, cell lines have furthered the understanding of endometrial biology and associated diseases, but they failed to recapitulate the key physiological aspects of the…
OBJECTIVE: It has been increasingly appreciated that G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER1) mediates both proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory response of estrogen. It is also involved in some rapid vascular effects of aldosterone i…
Abstract Endometriosis (EMs) is one of the most frequent diseases in reproductive age women, characterized by the growth of endometrial tissues beyond the uterus. Enhanced proliferative and migratory potential of endometrial stromal cells (…
Thoracic endometriosis is characterized by the presence of normal functioning endometrial tissues in normal pleural, diaphragm, or lung parenchyma, and main clinical symptoms include pneumothorax, menstrual hemothorax, menstrual hemoptysis,…
This retrospective cohort study was designed to explore the prognostic impact of adjuvant chemotherapy and tumor substage on stage I ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC). Data of 102 patients with stage I OCCC who underwent surgery at the Na…
PURPOSE: To establish a mathematical model for assessing the true ovarian reserve based on the predicted probability of poor ovarian response (POR). METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study, a total of 1523 GnRH-antagonist cycles in 201…
