ObjectiveTo explore the factors associated with elevated serum progesterone (P) levels on the day of hCG administration in patients undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation using a gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH-A) protoco…

BackgroundAlveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a globally present zoonotic disease caused by Echinococcus multilocularis (E. multilocularis) infection, characterized by the formation of tumor-like growths primarily in the liver, with the potenti…

PurposeTo explore the early diagnostic value of superb microvascular imaging (SMI) features within the rotator cuff gap for frozen shoulder.Patients and methodsThis prospective study enrolled patients with acute early-stage frozen shoulder …

Intrauterine adhesions (IUA), which is characterized by endometrial fibrosis, continue to be the most common cause of uterine infertility globally. Our work revealed that 3 fibrotic progression markers (Vimentin, COL5A2, and COL1A1) were si…

Endometriosis is a common disease of the female reproductive system and has malignant features. Although endometriosis by itself is a benign disease, its erosive growth characteristics lead to severe pelvic pain and female infertility. Unfo…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Does iron overload in patients with endometriosis affect ovarian function? Can a method be developed to visually reflect this? DESIGN: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) R2* was used to evaluate the correlation between iro…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease among women in their reproductive years. Although much effort has been made, the pathogenesis of this disease and the detailed differences between eutopic endometrial cells and ect…

Ubiquitous occurrences of phthalic acid esters (PAEs) or phthalates in a variety of consumer products have been demonstrated. Nevertheless, studies on their occurrence in various types of bottled drinks are limited. In this study, fifteen P…

CapsuleOligo/amenorrhea is an independent risk factor of low ovarian response but not high ovarian response, particularly in women with low AMH levels.ObjectiveTo investigate the association of menstrual cycle length (MCL) with anti-Mülleri…

Follicular atresia is one of the main processes for the loss of granulosa cells and oocytes from the mammalian ovary and any impairment to premature ovarian failure. Large numbers of studies have demonstrated that granulosa cell apoptosis c…

Hydrogen exhibits therapeutic and preventive effects against various diseases. The present study investigated the potential protective effect and dose‑dependent manner of hydrogen inhalation on high fat and fructose diet (HFFD)‑induced nona…

Background and purposeMacrophage infiltration and activation is a critical step during acute pancreatitis (AP). We have shown that pancreas-specific D2 receptor signalling protects against AP severity. As it is unclear to what extent myeloi…

Adenomyosis is frequently observed in premenopausal women, and oral dienogest is the recommended treatment to target the underlying pathology and improve the symptoms. This retrospective study investigated the association of Lewis (b) antig…

BACKGROUND This randomized, controlled trial was designed to assess whether acupuncture plus an oral administration of Chinese herbal medicine provides greater relief of symptoms than oral administration of Chinese herbal medicine alone for…

In the present study, the expression of microRNA (miR)-365 and interleukin (IL)-6 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and serum from patients with sepsis following multiple trauma has been investigated. A total of 26 patients with sepsis …

MicroRNA (miRNA) plays an important role in the degradation and inhibition of mRNAs and is a kind of essential drug targets for cancer therapy. To facilitate the clinical cancer research, we proposed a network-based strategy to identify the…

Background and purposeDopamine has multiple anti-inflammatory effects, but its role and molecular mechanism in acute pancreatitis (AP) are unclear. We investigated the role of dopamine signalling in the inflammatory response in AP.Experimen…

In previous studies, we found that endometriotic stromal cells lose the ability to regulate cell survival signaling in endometriotic epithelial cells. Here, we invested the effect of Metformin on the stromal-epithelial cells crosstalk in en…

Adenomyosis is a finding that is associated with dysmenorrhea and heavy menstrual bleeding, associated with PI3K/AKT signaling overactivity. To investigate the effect of metformin on the growth of eutopic endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) fr…

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression and potential roles of interleukin-10 receptor 1 (IL-10R1) and interleukin-10 receptor 2 (IL-10R2) in adenomyosis.Study designThis prospective study examined 33 women with histologically proven adenomy…
