BACKGROUND: Endometrioma is a common manifestation of endometriosis that can be difficult to diagnose with conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) may be more sensitive than conventional MRI in t…
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) contribute to disease pathogenesis and drug treatment effects. Both emodin and dexamethasone (DEX) have been used for treating severe acute pancreatitis-associated acute lung injury (SAP-ALI). However, lncRNA …
Recent studies have shown that the expression of ENPP1 is related to differentiation, death, dissemination and chemosensitivity of tumor cells. So far, there is no research in ovarian carcinoma. This study aimed at exploring the role of ENP…
Colorectal cancer ranks third in terms of incidence and second in terms of mortality worldwide. The homeobox transcript antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR), which was found to be located on the antisense chain of the homeobox C (HOXC) gene cl…
A dysregulation of cytokine networks has been suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of unexplained pregnancy loss. Gut microbiota affects host immune response and induces an imbalance in cytokine levels. However, how gut microbial dy…
Endometriosis (EM), the presence of functional endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity, is a common gynecological disorder. At present, the pathogenesis of EM has not been fully elucidated, so there is still a lack of effec…
Inhibitory leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptors (LILRBs 1-5) transduce signals via intracellular immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs that recruit phosphatases to negatively regulate immune activation. The activation of LILRB …
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in the development of ovarian cancer (OC). The present study aimed to explore the roles of long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 1094 (LINC01094) in OC. LINC01094 and microRNA (miR)-532-3p express…
We conducted a prospective randomised controlled trial to explore the efficacy of clomiphene citrate (CC) and Letrozole (LTZ) for improving fecundity in infertile women with minimal to mild endometriosis after operative laparoscopy. We foun…
BackgroundInfertility is a reproductive health problem which affects not only individuals, families and social populations. Recently, the infertility rate in China has a trend of increase year by year, and few studies have reported the infe…
BackgroundPrimary ovarian serous carcinomas (OSC) with extensive squamous differentiation is a rare, and histological diagnostic criteria and biological behavior have not been fully established. We present an extremely rare case of primary …
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a leading cause of death and is commonly accompanied by systemic manifestations that are generally associated with a poor prognosis. Many cytokines contribute to pancreatic tissue damage and cause systemic injury.…
Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), a member of the sirtuin protein family, is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)‑dependent type III histone deacetylase and mono‑ADP‑ribosyltransferase. SIRT1 can deacetylate histones (H1, H3, and H4) and non‑histone…
Genetic polymorphisms of NEIL1 and NEIL2 maybe change protein function, and increased carcinogenesis. In this study, seven NEIL1 SNPs and three NEIL2 SNPs were selected. 400 CSCCs, 400 CIN III, and 1200 normal healthy controls were genotype…
Abstract Background: Endometrial neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) is a uncommon histologic subtype of endometrial cancer. It is currently unclear if the endometrial NEC has any particular relationship with mismatch repair (MMR) protein expre…
Female infertility usually occurs as a result of ageing, physical impairment, hormone disturbances and lifestyle or environmental factors. However, the potential role of Lactobacillus in female infertility has remained largely unexplored. I…
Chronic pancreatitis (CP), characterized by pancreatic fibrosis, is a recurrent, progressive and irreversible disease. Activation of the pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) is considered a core event in pancreatic fibrosis. In this study, we i…
Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), a serious inflammatory disease of the pancreas, can easily lead to systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and multiple organ dysfunction syndromes (MODS). Acute lung injury (ALI) is one of the most s…
Granulosa cells (GCs) are somatic cells surrounding oocytes within follicles and are essential for folliculogenesis. Pathological changes in GCs are found in several ovarian disorders. Recent reports have indicated that long non-coding RNAs…
RationaleTherapeutic thoracentesis is among the most frequently performed medical procedures. Chest discomfort is a common complication and has been associated with increasingly negative pleural pressure as fluid is withdrawn in the setting…
OBJECTIVE: The present study was designed to investigate the expression of miR-9-5p and to study the effect of miR-9-5p expression on the invasion and migration of endometrial stromal cells in endometriosis patients. METHODS: We recruited 1…
Abstract Objective This study aimed to identify the clinical characteristics of Chinese patients with ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (EC) and clear cell carcinoma (CCC) and to assess the impact of concurrent endometriosis on this group. Met…
BackgroundEstradiol (E2 ) is an important hormone in women. Changes of serum E2 levels may affect the endometrial receptivity for embryo implantation and thus affect pregnancy outcomes. This study was to assess the association between serum…
Purpose of the reviewIncreasing access to large-scale genetic datasets in population-based studies allows for genetic association studies as a means to examine previously known and novel relationships among complex traits. In this review, w…
Gallbladder occupying lesions are common diseases of biliary system. Among them, gallbladder cancer is difficult to diagnose due to the indistinguishable early symptoms, thus posing a great risk to the population. This study aims to establi…
