Tubal endometriosis (tubal EM) is a subtype of endometriosis (EM) associated with fallopian tube impairments and infertility. Since the molecular mechanism underlying tubal EM is not clear, we assume that an aberrant transcriptome of fallop…
Endometriosis is a common, chronic gynaecologic disease affecting up to 10% of women in their reproductive age and leading to pain and infertility. Oestrogen (E2 )-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process has been considered …
Abstract Abstract: Context: Graves’ orbitopathy (GO) presents with infiltrative exophthalmos due to excessive proliferation, adipogenesis and glycosaminoglycans production of orbital fibroblasts (OFs). There are few therapies potent for pro…
While a genetic component of preterm birth (PTB) has long been recognized and recently mapped by genome-wide association studies (GWASs), the molecular determinants underlying PTB remain elusive. This stems in part from an incomplete availa…
To prospectively study the efficacy of different anti-adhesion agents for the prevention of tubal obstruction after recanalization, this trial was approved by our hospital ethics committee. Four hundred patients with fallopian tube obstruct…
BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to evaluate the role of human epididymal secretory protein (HE4), cancer antigen 125 (CA125), and the Risk of Ovarian Malignancy Algorithm (ROMA) in diagnosing benign pelvic masses in premenopausal women…
MicroRNA (miRNA) expression profiles in tubal endometriosis (EM) are still poorly understood. In this study, we analyzed the differential expression of miRNAs and the related gene networks and signaling pathways in tubal EM. Four tubal epith…
Hyperglycemia induces retinal pigmented epithelial cell apoptosis and mitochondrial stress via poorly understood mechanisms. The goal of our current study is to explore whether mammalian sterile 20-like kinase 1 (Mst1) is involved in the pa…
BACKGROUND: Hyperinsulinemia, high insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) levels, and low IGF binding protein 1 (IGFBP1) levels have been implicated in the relationship between obesity and increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, it…
BACKGROUND: In the current society, infertility related to age has become a social problem. The in vitro fertilization (IVF) success rate in women with poor ovarian response (POR) is very low. Dandelion extract T-1 (DE-T1) is an effective c…
AIMS: Previous studies and community information about everyday difficulties in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) have focussed on domains such as reading and driving. Here, we provide the first in-depth examination of how impaired fac…
BACKGROUND: There is no evidence of the practices of obstetricians and gynecologists (OB/GYNs) regarding contraceptive use and determinants influencing contraceptive choices, including emergency methods such as combined oral contraceptives …
OBJECTIVE: To examine the effects of atosiban, given before transfer of frozen-thawed embryo to women with endometriosis (EMs). DESIGN: A randomized, controlled clinical trial. SETTING: University hospital and IVF center. PATIENT(S): One…
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to assess the effect of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) plus climen (estradiol valerate and cyproterone acetate drug combination) on infertility patients with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) and to determine if t…
Peristomal adhesions complicate closure of defunctioning enterostomy. The efficacy and safety of sodium hyaluronate gel and chitosan in preventing postoperative adhesion have not been extensively studied. This study aims to evaluate the saf…
Objective: To explore the influence of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist(GnRHa) on recurrence and life quality of endometriosis patients. Methods: Eighty-two endometriosis patients in our hospital from January 2010 to January 2012 were…
Recent data support a role for SHARP1, a basic helix-loop-helix transcription repressor, in the regulation of malignant cell behavior in several human cancers. However, the expression and role of SHARP1 during the development of endometrial…
We conducted a prospective, randomized, and controlled trial to assess the optimal dose for GnRH antagonist, cetrorelix, for Chinese women during the course of ovarian stimulation. The patients were randomly divided into two groups, in whic…
Adenomyosis is a common estrogen-dependent disorder of females characterized by a downward extension of the endometrium into the uterine myometrium and neovascularization in ectopic lesions. It accounts for chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea…
The linkage between endometriosis and galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase gene (GALT) mutations is controversial. In this study, the prevalence of the most common GALT mutations, Q188R and N314D, was assessed in women with endometriosi…
