LncRNAs are involved in the pathophysiologic processes of multiple diseases, but little is known about their functions in hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (HIRI). As a novel lncRNA, the pathogenetic significance of hepatic nuclear factor…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder among women. Moderate aerobic exercise intervention is considered an initial treatment strategy for managing PCOS. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is an important mole…

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is pancreatic or systemic inflammation without or with motion organ dysfunction. Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is the main cause of death for patients with AP. A pro-/anti-inflammatory imbalance is considered the k…

Damage to sperm DNA was proposed to play an important role in embryonic development. Previous studies focused on outcomes after fresh embryo transfer, whereas this study investigated the influence of sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) on l…

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Guizhi Fuling decoction (GZFL decoction) is a famous formula in the Synopsis of the Golden Chamber, which has a long history in treating endometriosis. However, its exact mechanism remains unclear. AIM OF ST…

A dysregulated immune microenvironment at the maternal-fetal interface in early pregnancy may lead to early pregnancy loss, fetal growth restriction, and preeclampsia. However, major questions about how epigenetic modifications regulate the…

Backgroundthe 18-kDa translocator protein (TSPO) is a mitochondrial outer membrane protein, and its expression tends to increase in response to inflammatory stimulation, rapidly. However, the role of TSPO in inflammation and pyroptosis is n…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is a benign, but potential metastatic, gynecological disease. Our current study aims to examine whether all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) inhibits the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of endometriotic …

BackgroundIdiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) is a rare genetic disease attributed to the disorder of hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. Mutations in the GNRHR gene are one of the most common genetic causes of IHH. Herein, we a…

Endometriosis is a debilitating gynecological disease affecting millions of women worldwide, but its exact pathogenesis remains unclear. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been demonstrated to be important regulators in multiple diseases. Noneth…

Abstract Background: To establish the clinicopathological and prognostic correlations between endometriosis-associated and non-endometriosis-associated primary ovarian cancer, with a view to providing a reference guide for revision of diagn…

Lack of knowledge in highly efficient contraceptive methods led to low rates of adoption and misuse of these methods by young women. The existing online tools for contraceptive decisions have flaws. To address this critical need, we develop…

OBJECTIVES: This study aims to investigate the expression and role of Endoglin (ENG) in endometriosis (EM). MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this study, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, western blot and immunohistochemistry were us…

The molecular interactions between the maternal environment and the developing embryo are key for early pregnancy success and are influenced by factors such as maternal metabolic status. Our understanding of the mechanism(s) through which t…

BACKGROUND: Extrapelvic endometriosis is defined as the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue in structures outside the pelvis. Although extra-pelvic endometriosis is generally considered benign conditions, malignant potential within endom…

Research questionWhat is the mechanism of hypermethylation of runt-related transcription factor 3 (RUNX3) in the eutopic endometrium of endometriosis as biomarker in the malignant transformation of endometriosis?DesignMethylation-specific p…

Heart failure (HF) is the terminal stage of multifarious heart diseases and is responsible for high hospitalization rates and mortality. Pathophysiological mechanisms of HF include cardiac hypertrophy, remodeling and fibrosis resulting from…

BackgroundTo investigate the dynamic change of lipid profile under double filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) in severe hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis (sHTGP) patients and ascertain the association between these changes and th…

BackgroundCold, an environmental factor, induces many reproductive diseases. It is known that endothelin (ET) is a potent vasoconstrictor, and cold stress can increase the expression of ET and its receptors. The cold stress rat model was de…

Breast tumor initiating cells (BTICs) with ALDH+CD24-CD44+ phenotype are the most tumorigenic and invasive cell population in breast cancer. However, the molecular mechanisms are still unclear. Here, it is found that a negative immune regul…

RATIONALE: Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) are progressive neuromuscular disorders caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. The management of anesthesia in patients with BMD is complicated because th…

Endometriosis is a common multi-factorial gynaecological disease. Recent studies have revealed that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. In the present study, the expression profiles of lncRNAs i…

Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) is a histone methyltransferase that suppresses gene expression. Previously, we developed a conditional null model where EZH2 is knocked out in uterus. Deletion of uterine EZH2 increased proliferation of lu…

PROBLEM: The mechanism underlying endometriosis is currently unknown. However, studies have indicated that immunity plays an important role in endometriosis occurrence and development. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) do not encode proteins b…
