BackgroundExcessive gestational weight gain (GWG), which is associated with adverse long-term effects on the health of the offspring, has become a major clinical problem. Accumulating evidence indicates that the ovary kisspeptin/GPR54 syste…

BACKGROUND: Occult uterine cancer at the time of benign hysterectomy poses unique challenges in patient care. There is large variability and uncertainty in estimated risk of occult uterine cancer in the literature and prior research often d…

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a major endocrine and metabolic disorder with heterogeneous manifestations and complex etiology. As a leading cause of anovulatory infertility, the molecular diversity of the follicular microe…

BackgroundDespite the availability of a safe and efficacious vaccine against human papillomavirus, uptake of the vaccine in the United States is low. Missed clinical opportunities to recommend and to administer human papillomavirus vaccine …

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease characterized by the outgrowth of the endometrium, however, the detailed molecular etiology remains largely uncharacterized. Recent studies have implicated that endometriosis is potentially a …

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent precancerous lesion exhibiting frequently perturbed level of steroid hormones and transcriptional‑regulating factor 1 (TRERF1) has a crucial role in the production of steroid hormones including estroge…

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases, although their expression pattern and role in endometriosis remains unknown. Therefore, here, we profiled the expression patterns of circRNAs in ovarian ectopic and…

PurposeTo investigate the expression patterns of N-acetyl galactosamine transferases (GalNAc-Ts)-3 and GalNAc-T6 in clinicopathologically characterized endometriosis (EMS), and to explore their clinical significance.MethodsEctopic and eutop…

Alternative splicing of the human glucocorticoid receptor gene generates two isoforms, hGRα and hGRβ. hGRβ functions as a dominant-negative regulator of hGRα activity and but also has inherent transcriptional activity, collectively altering…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the microRNA expression profiling in endometriosis-associate infertility, and relationship between the microRNA expression and endometrial receptivity evaluated by ultrasound. METHODS: First, miRNA expression profi…

Reports on bacteria detected in maternal fluids during pregnancy are typically associated with adverse consequences, and whether the female reproductive tract harbours distinct microbial communities beyond the vagina has been a matter of de…

RATIONALE: Cornual ectopic pregnancy in adenomyosis patients is a rare clinical condition, which may require careful approach for accurate diagnosis and treatment. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 38-year-old woman presented with amenorrhea for 8 weeks …

Cancer induced bone pain is a very complicated clinical pain states that has proven difficult to be treated effectively due to poorly understand of underlying mechanism, but bone cancer pain (BCP) seems to be enhanced by a state of spinal s…

Transcription factors (TFs) are the proteins involved in the transcription process, ensuring the correct expression of specific genes. Numerous diseases arise from the dysfunction of specific TFs. In fact, over 30 TFs have been identified a…

Huatan Tongluo Fang (HTTLF) is a traditional herbal formula that can resolve phlegm and dredge collaterals. HTTLF has also been used to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA); however, the mechanism underlying the therapeutic effects of HTTLF on R…

ObjectiveThe aim of the present study was to evaluate the incidences of margin involvement, disease relapse, and complications in patients who had undergone conization using an electrosurgical knife (EKC) for cervical intraepithelial neopla…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate expression of ILKAP among women with endometriosis and its association with clinical characteristics. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted at a center in China in 2012, using samples of ectopic (n=55) and e…

BackgroundThe aim of our study was to investigate the possible relationship between polymorphisms in PTEN (the phosphatase and tensin homolog located on chromosome ten in humans) and POI (primary ovarian insufficiency) in Chinese women.Meth…

Although our previous study confirmed that periostin (PN) was overexpressed in the eutopic and ectopic endometrial stroma of women with endometriosis by immunohistochemitry, the role of PN in the pathophysiology of endometriosis remains unk…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate signal intensity-time (SI-Time) curve and quantitative dynamic contrast-enhanced 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosis and differentiating neoplasm of uterus. METHODS: A total of 42 cases of uterine neoplasm (2…

An aromatase encoded by the CYP19 gene catalyzes the final step in the biosynthesis of estrogens, which is related to endometriosis development. To assess the association of CYP19 gene polymorphisms with the risks of endometriosis, chocolat…

Minimal deviation adenocarcinoma (MDA) of the uterine cervix, otherwise known as adenoma malignum, is a rare variant of cervical adenocarcinoma, which represents a diagnostic challenge in the field of gynecologic oncology, due to its benign…

Background. Clinical trials reveal that multiherb prescriptions of herbal medicine often exhibit pharmacological and therapeutic superiority in comparison to isolated single constituents. However, the synergistic mechanisms underlying this …

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of surgical menopause due to bilateral oophorectomy on mortality, in light of evidence that bilateral oophorectomy among premenopausal women rapidly reduces endogenous hormone levels, thereby modifying ris…

In our previous study, menstrual-like changes in mouse were provoked through the pharmacologic withdrawal of progesterone with mifepristone following induction of decidualization. However, mouse is not a natural menstruation animal, and the…
