Endometrial epithelial cells carry distinct cancer-associated alterations that may be more susceptible to endometriosis. Mouse models have shown that overexpression of SIRT1 associated with oncogene activation contributes to the pathogenesi…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the risk factors of ectopic pregnancy after in vitro fertilization. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Reproductive Medical Center of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University fr…
PURPOSE: To compare the performance of 3D MRU based on a breath-hold gradient- and spin-echo (BH-GRASE) technique with conventional 3D respiratory-triggered FSE (RT-FSE) sequence in patients with urinary tract dilation. METHODS: We prospec…
RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the mechanism of hypermethylation of runt-related transcription factor 3 (RUNX3) in the eutopic endometrium of endometriosis as biomarker in the malignant transformation of endometriosis? DESIGN: Methylation-spec…
Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) are a family of oxidized protein compounds and could induce oxidative stress and inflammatory lesion in various cells. The accumulation of AOPPs was associated with female reproductive diseases su…
BACKGROUND: Due to the high morbidity and poor clinical outcomes, early predictive and prognostic biomarker identification is desiderated in colorectal cancer (CRC). As a homologue of the Deleted in Colorectal Cancer (DCC) gene, the role of…
Previous lncRNA microarray screening found that the AC002454.1 gene was highly expressed in endometriosis (EMS), and these expression levels were highly correlated with cyclin-dependent kinase-6 (CDK6). This study investigated the expressio…
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent gynecological disease; however, the mechanism by which estradiol promotes the development of endometriosis, including invasion and proliferation, remains unclear. Estradiol is involved in cell invasion…
PURPOSE: Endometriosis (EMs) is an estrogen-dependent multifactorial disease. Inhibition of estrogen in endometrial cells contributes to their failure to form lesions in ectopic sites. However, whether reducing or suppressing the inhibitory…
To investigate correlation between abnormal replicative senescence of endometrial gland epithelial cells (EGECs) in shedding and non-shedding endometria and endometriosis cyst during menstruation. Musashi-1 expression, β-catenin expression,…
BACKGROUND: In some in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles, we may consider transferring one poor-quality embryo with one good-quality embryo. Previous studies have indicated that the poor-quality emb…
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to determine whether first trimester ultrasound measurements of crown rump length (CRL) and gestational sac diameter (GSD) differ depending on the method of conception among infertile women. METHOD: Infer…
Endometriosis (EM) is associated with oxidative stress. Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) are novel markers of oxidative stress, which serve an important role as an inflammatory mediator in various chronic diseases. In order to ex…
The aim of the present study was to identify differential pathways in uterine leiomyomata (UL) using a novel method based on protein-protein interaction networks and pathway analysis. The pathway networks were constructed by examining the i…
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a short insemination procedure on embryo development, assess the reliability of a fertilization check prior to the appearance of pronuclei and elucidate the role of rescue intracytoplasmic sperm in…
Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) and protein phosphatase type 2A (PP2A) are negative modulators of PI3K/AKT/survivin signaling. To evaluate immunoexpression of PTEN, PP2A and survivin in adenomyosis, ectopic lesions from 28 patients wi…
Adenomyosis is a gynecological common disease of unknown etiology.The current treatment method is traditional surgical resection,supplemented by drugs.With the development of interventional radiology,uterine artery embolization(uterine arte…
The commonest pathologic diagnosis of large prolapsed polyps is leiomyoma. Benign or malignant adenomyomatous polyps follow. Adenomyotic cyst is a rare form of adenomyosis. To our knowledge, a recurrent prolapsed giant uterine polyp compris…
OBJECTIVE: To examine the association among malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and incidence of apoptosis of granulosa cells in follicular fluid with the outcome of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET). METHODS: W…
Objective:To report the efficacy and outcomes of transervical resection of endometrium(ECRE)in treatment of menorrhagia.Methods:Among them,72 patients with submucous uterine myoma less than 5 cm in diameter had their myoma resected simultan…
