BackgroundMost of data available in the literature reported the sperm retrieval rate and limited intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) results of microdissection testicular sperm extraction (micro-TESE) in non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA…

Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is a critical illness characterized by a severe systemic inflammatory response resulting in persistent multiple organ failure and sepsis. The intestinal microbiome is increasingly appreciated to play a crucia…

Abstract Objectives To evaluate the outcomes of women with uterine adenomyoma treated with combined modified laparoscopic adenomyomectomy and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists. Methods Between 2012 and 2016, 141 women with aden…

Decidualization is a substantive differentiation process experienced by endometrium to prepare for pregnancy. During this process, the endometrial stromal cells are transformed to endometrial epithelial cells. The receptivity of endometrium…

Human epidemiological and animal studies have demonstrated that excess iron is a risk for cancer. The responsible mechanisms are: 1) increased intracellular iron catalyzes the Fenton reaction to generate hydroxyl radicals, leading to mutage…

Abstract Background: Lung endometriosis is an extremely rare gynecological disease. Literature reports suggest that most patients will show generic symptoms such as hemoptysis, pneumothorax, and hemopneumothorax, which can often result in …

Recent evidence revealed an inhibitory effect of circ-ITCH on the progression of papillary thyroid cancer via affecting the circ-ITCH/miR-22-3p/CBL axis. Rs4911154, an SNP located in circ-ITHC, was previously reported to be significantly as…

BackgroundTo investigate the dynamic change of lipid profile under double filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) in severe hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis (sHTGP) patients and ascertain the association between these changes and th…

Abstract Background:Lung endometriosis is an extremely rare gynecological disease. Literature reports suggest that most patients will show generic symptoms such as hemoptysis, pneumothorax, and hemopneumothorax, which can often result in m…

Corneal neovascularization (CNV) is a sight-threatening disease usually associated with inflammatory, infectious, degenerative, and traumatic disorders of the ocular surface. Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family members play an important r…

Abstract Background: Endometriosis is a complex disease in the field of gynecology that has certain limitations for its interim treatment. Resveratrol has been recently used for the treatment of endometriosis in experimental and clinical s…

Peripheral nociceptors and their synaptic partners utilize neuropeptides for signal transmission. Such communication tunes the excitatory and inhibitory function of nociceptor-based circuits, eventually contributing to pain modulation. Cort…

Despite the demonstrated efficacy of surgical treatment of endometriosis, recurrence after surgery still remains a formidable challenge. Surgery, especially when performed repeatedly, decreases ovarian reserve. Clearly, control of recurrenc…

Platelets play an important role in the development of endometriosis. Scutellarin is a flavonoid isolated from a medicinal herb traditionally used as a potent antiplatelet agent. In this study, we sought to evaluate its potential therapeuti…

Zmpste24 is a metalloproteinase responsible for the posttranslational processing and cleavage of prelamin A into mature laminA. Zmpste24(-/-) mice display a range of progeroid phenotypes overlapping with mice expressing progerin, an altered…

PurposeTo evaluate the epigenetic risk linked to assisted reproductive technology (ART) at single-embryo level by analyzing the methylation status of imprinted H19, PEG1, and KvDMR1 in human preimplantation embryos.MethodsA total of 254 hum…

Dysmenorrhea is a prevalent problem in menstruating women. As a nonpharmacologic and free of relevant side effects intervention, moxibustion is considered as a safe treatment and has long been recommended for dysmenorrhea in China. However,…

Ovarian cancer is one of the most lethal malignant gynecological tumors. More than 70% of patients with ovarian cancer are diagnosed at advanced stage. The 5-year survival in patients with advanced ovarian cancer is less than 30% because of…

ObjectiveTo evaluate the role of the novel tumor marker human epididymal secretory protein E4 (HE4) in discriminating ovarian cancer from benign pelvic disease in patients with a pelvic mass.MethodsSerum samples from 131 patients with epith…

OBJECTIVE: To explore diagnostic and therapeutic methods of patients with deep infiltrating endometriosis. METHODS: Clinical data of a case of complicated deep infiltrating endometriosis were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: A 39-year-old…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of Xiaochaihu Decoction (XCHD) on ectopic endometrium in rats with endometriosis and its mechanism. METHODS: The rat model of endometriosis was established and rats were divided into 5 groups, the low dosag…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of Xiaochaihu Tang (XCHT), a traditional Chinese medicinal preparation, on ectopic endometrium in rats. METHODS: In rat models of endometriosis, the effect of XCHT of ultrastructure of the ectopic endom…

AIM: To explore the expression of ER and PR mRNAs in endometrium with endometriosis. METHODS: The rat model of endometriosis was established, and the expression of ER, PR mRNAs in the endometrium was examined by reverse transcription-polyme…

OBJECTIVE: To study the role and value of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRH-a) and laparoscopy for the treatment of adenomyosis with infertility. METHODS: Four cases were seen with adenomyosis and infertility, 3 of these cases a…
