Breast cancer (BC) stands as the predominant form of cancer affecting women globally, with its etiology rooted in a complex interplay of factors. Emerging research underscores the significant impact of microbiota on the development of BC. E…

IntroductionThe primary clinical challenge associated with follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) lies in accurately diagnosing the condition, particularly in distinguishing it with follicular thyroid adenoma (FTA) due to their overlapping cyto…

We describe a case of gallbladder extra-nodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT-ML). MALT-ML is rare, and its clinical manifestations are lack of specificity. A few cases have been reported, and no cha…

Follicle development refers to the process in which the follicles in the ovary gradually develop from the primary stage to a mature state, and most primary follicles fail to develop normally, without forming a dense granular cell layer and …

BackgroundAcute pancreatitis (AP) is a severe disorder that leads to high morbidity and mortality. Appropriate reference genes are important for gene analysis in AP. This study sought to study the expression stability of several reference g…

The signaling pathway of the wingless-type mouse mammary tumor virus integration site (Wnt) plays an important role in ovarian and follicular development. In our previous study, WNT4 was shown to be involved in the selection and development…

Phthalate esters (PAEs) are ubiquitous in indoor environments as plasticizers in indoor products. Residences are often exposed to indoor PAEs in the form of gas, particles, settled dust, and surface phases. To reveal the mechanism behind th…

The dried roots or rhizomes of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bge are commonly used in Chinese medicine to promote blood circulation and regulate menstruation. Salvianic acid A and salvianolic acid B are the main active water-soluble compounds in Salv…

The adipokine resistin is linked with obesity, inflammation and various cancers, including breast cancer. This study sought to determine whether certain polymorphisms in the gene encoding resistin, RETN, increase the risk of breast cancer s…

In last few years, therapeutic peptides/proteins are rapidly growing in drug market considering their higher efficiency and lower toxicity than chemical drugs. However, the administration of therapeutic peptides/proteins is mainly limited i…

Interleukin-1 (IL-1) gene is known to be implicated in tuberculosis (TB). The present case-control study was designed to investigate whether IL-1 polymorphisms associated with TB susceptibility in a Chinese Tibetan cohort. 300 Tibetan tuber…

A previous study by our group has demonstrated that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces adenomyosis through stimulating inflammatory cell proliferation and invasive growth of stromal cells via Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling. The present…

The objective of the present study was to investigate differences in the expression of apoptosis-related factors in the eutopic and ectopic endometrium (EuE/EE) in women with adenomyosis before and after laparoscopic bilateral uterine arter…

Sclerosing mesenteritis (SM) is an extremely rare disease characterized by chronic non-specific inflammation, fat necrosis and fibrosis of the mesentery. We presented a 77-year-old man with progressive dyschezia, abdominal pain and mass in …

The present study tested whether the LPS/TLR4 signal pathway in endometrial stromal cells is essential for the pathogenesis of adenomyosis. We tested the expression of TLR4, MD2 in the endometrium without adenomyosis (CE), the eutopic endom…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the remission rate and outcome of pregnancy of patients who had moderate and severe ovarian endometriosis after conservative surgery. We also wished to analyze the associated factors of recurrence. METHODS: Weconducted …

ObjectiveTo assess the long-term efficacy and quality of life associated with laparoscopic bilateral uterine artery occlusion plus partial resection of symptomatic adenomyosis.Study designA total of 182 eligible patients with symptomatic ad…

BACKGROUND: Understanding the health effects associated with environmental chemicals is challenging when individuals have concentrations at or below the laboratory limits of detection as well as when the values may round to zero or are pres…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To examine the clinical application of laparoscopic partial resection of symptomatic adenomyosis combined with uterine artery occlusion (UAO). DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study (Canadian Task Force classification III). S…
