Galectin-9 (Gal-9) is a vital member of the galectin family, functioning as a multi-subtype galactose lectin with diverse biological roles. Recent research has revealed that Gal-9's interaction with tumors is an independent factor that infl…
PURPOSE: To compare the ovarian reserve of different hemostatic methods after laparoscopic endometrioma stripping (LES) and explore which factors may affect ovarian reserve. METHODS: Patients who underwent LES from January 2019 to December…
BACKGROUND: The interaction between intestinal microbiota and infertility is less researched. This study was performed to investigate the causal association between gut microbiota and infertility. METHODS: In this two-sample Mendelian rand…
The toll of multiple endocrine disorders has increased substantially in recent decades, and marginalized populations bear a disproportionate burden of disease. Because of the significant individual and societal impact of these conditions, i…
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the vaginal microecology and the distribution of human papillomavirus (HPV) subtypes in patients with uterine adhesions and explore the correlation between HPV infection and vaginal micr…
Background and Purpose: Adenomyosis causes pain, abnormal bleeding, and infertility. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of adenomyosis. Current therapies are mainly hormone-dependent and their …
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…
INTRODUCTION: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH-ant) protocol is widely used in the world for controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH). However, previous studies have shown that pregnancy outcomes of fresh embryo transfer wit…
Shoulder pain frequently follows hepatectomy. However, the influence of surgical procedures on shoulder pain is unclear. In this observational study, patients who underwent hepatectomy were enrolled in Shanghai Cancer Center. Shoulder pain …
OBJECTIVE: To explore the correlation of lipid accumulation product (LAP) with metabolic syndrome (MS) and to assess the predictive value of LAP for MS risk in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with different body mass index (BMI). METHODS:…
BACKGROUND: A regulatory mechanism of lncRNA binding to protein has been detected in premature ovarian failure (POF). Therefore, this study was expected to illustrate the mechanism of lncRNA-FMR6 and SAV1 regulating POF. METHODS: Follicula…
Understanding the microflora inhabiting the reproductive tract is important for a better understanding of female physiology and reproductive health. The endometrial fluid from mice in three reproductive stages (A: Unproductive mice; B: Post…
PURPOSE: Sanjie Zhentong Capsule (SZC) is gradually becoming widely used in the treatment of endometriosis (EMs) and has demonstrated an excellent curative effect in the clinic. However, the active components and mechanisms of Sanjie Zhento…
The pathological retinal angiogenesis often causes blindness. Current anti-angiogenic therapy for proliferative retinopathy targets the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), but many patients do not radically benefit from this therapy.…
Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF), Vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR) and their downstream signaling pathways are promising targets in anti-angiogenic therapy. They constitute a crucial system to regulate physiolo…
Endometriosis is one of the most common benign gynecological disorders in reproductive-aged women. The major symptoms are chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Despite its profound impact on women's health and quality of life, its pathogenes…
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the risk factors of patients with endometriosis (EMS) and ureteral stricture and to establish a prediction model based on logistic-regression analysis. METHODS: The clinical data of 228 EMS patients i…
BACKGROUND: Shift work is a potential risk factor for women's reproductive health. Evidence suggests that shift work is associated with menstrual disorders, reproductive disturbances, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, previous studie…
Macrophages are a key and heterogeneous cell population involved in endometrial repair and regeneration during the menstrual cycle, but their role in the development of intrauterine adhesion (IUA) and sequential endometrial fibrosis remains…
Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) widely exists in patients with unexplained infertility, and whether LTBI would affect the ovarian reserve and pregnancy outcome of infertile women undergoing intrauterine insemination (IUI) is still unkn…
Microorganisms are ubiquitous in the human body; they are present in various areas including the gut, mouth, skin, respiratory tract, and reproductive tract. The interaction between the microbiome and reproductive health has become an incre…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common benign gynecological disorder with high risk of recurrence and adverse impact on fertility-sparing. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of SanJieZhenTong Capsules, a traditional Chi…
