BACKGROUND: Exosomes secreted by peritoneal macrophages (pMφ) are deeply involved in the development of endometriosis (EMs). Exosomes can mediate cell-to-cell communication by transferring biological molecules. This study aimed to explore t…

Preterm birth (PTB) remains the leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality. Despite 50 years of research, therapeutic options are limited and many lack clear efficacy. Tocolytic agents are drugs that briefly delay PTB, typically to all…

Endometriosis is a common estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease that leads to infertility in women of reproductive age. Perhaps infertility reflects the reduced expression of integrin αvβ3 and HOXA10 in endometriosis. Previous stu…

AIM: Study the effect of low-dose aspirin on the endometrial receptivity in endometriosis rat models. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study is to explore the expressions of progesterone receptor and LIF among three groups of endometriosis rat …

Abstract Background : Recent studies have confirmed that endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease. In our previous work, we found that STING (stimulator of interferon genes) was differentially expressed in eutopic endometrium and con…

BACKGROUND: Many studies have demonstrated the positive clinical value of progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) who underwent assisted reproductive technology. However, the underlying …

BACKGROUND: The immune mechanism was shown to be involved in the development of adenomyosis. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the expression of the immune checkpoints B7-H2, B7-H3, B7-H4 and PD-L2 in adenomyosis and to explore t…

Abstract BackgroundThe immune mechanism was shown to be involved in the development of adenomyosis. The current study aims to evaluate the expression of immune checkpoint B7-H2, B7-H3, B7-H4 and PD-L2 in adenomyosis and to explore the effec…

Abstract Purpose: Endometriosis (EMT) is a chronic benign disease with high prevalence. This study investigated the diagnostic value of serum miR-17-5p, miR-424-5p, and their combined expressions for EMT. Methods: A total of 80 EMT patients…

BACKGROUND: Tumor angiogenesis, an essential process for cancer proliferation and metastasis, has a critical role in prognostic of kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), as well as a target in guiding treatment with antiangiogenic agents…

A wide array of pathogens has the potential to injure the fetus and induce teratogenesis, the process by which mutations in fetal somatic cells lead to congenital malformations. Rubella virus was the first infectious disease to be linked to…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) on the outcome of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in patients with endometriosis (EMT). METHODS: Female patients diagnosed with EMT in our hospital from May 2018 to May 201…

Previous studies report that fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) modulates Sproutys (SPRYs)/dual specificity phosphatase 6 (DUSP6)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathway in endometrial glandular epithelial cells. Howeve…

Multimodal fusion in neuroimaging combines data from multiple imaging modalities to overcome the fundamental limitations of individual modalities. Neuroimaging fusion can achieve higher temporal and spatial resolution, enhance contrast, cor…

PURPOSE: To improve the diagnosis and identification of ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) and ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (EC), we evaluated CT imaging findings and cut-off values for CEA and CA125. METHODS: The CT features and tumour …

PURPOSE: There are well-documented racial and ethnic disparities for in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes, including disparities in clinical pregnancy and live birth rate. Obesity has also been associated with an increase in the risk of in…

UNLABELLED: In order to explore the predictive model for analyzing clinical pregnancy outcomes based on IVF-ET (in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer) and ICSI (Intracytoplasmic sperm injection) assisted reproductive technology (ART). …

The T cell immunoglobulin mucin molecule 3 (TIM-3), as a negative regulatory immune checkpoint, plays an important role in cellular immunity by binding to its ligand galectin-9 (Gal-9). Under abnormal conditions, this pathway can regulate t…

OBJECTIVE: Women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) have an exceptionally high risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D). Yet, little is known about genetic determinants for T2D in this population. We examined the association of a g…

Guizhi Fuling capsule (GZFLc) is a modern preparation from traditional Chinese Medicine. Guizhi Fuling was first prescribed by Zhang Zhongjing almost two thousand years ago for the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea. It has also been used to…

To develop fusion protein of a GnRH Fc fragment and the integrin targeting AP25 antitumor peptide for GnRH receptor-expressing cancer therapy. The LMRAP fusion protein was constructed. A transwell invasion assay was performed. The gene mRNA…

Hemopexin (Hx) is a scavenger of labile heme. Herein, we present data defining the role of tumor stroma-expressed Hx in suppressing cancer progression. Labile heme and Hx levels are inversely correlated in the plasma of patients with prosta…

The gut microbiome plays an important role in human health. However, its response to external intervention is complex. A previous study showed that the response to Clostridium butyricum (CB) treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is he…

Mitochondrial fission is associated with cardiomyocyte death and myocardial depression, and suppressor of ras val-2 (SRV2) is a newly discovered pro-fission protein. In this study, we examined the mechanisms of SRV2-mediated mitochondrial f…

Abstract Background: Thoracic endometriosis syndrome (TES) is a rare disease in which a functioning endometrial tissue is observed in the pleura, lung parenchyma, airways, or diaphragm. The optimal management of this disease remains a matte…
