Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients have a better ovarian reserve and age-related improvement in endocrine disturbances than non-PCOS patients. The effects of age on in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment outcomes associat…
BACKGROUND: Disordered inflammation and immune response is an acknowledged risk factor for cervical cancer development. Interleukin-1 receptor type 2 (IL1R2) is a decoy receptor for IL-1 cytokines and involved in host inflammatory and immun…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is the major cause of progressive pelvic pain and subfertility. Up to 50% of reproductive-age women suffer from pelvic pain. Endometriosis is a classic indication for IVF. Compared with women whose inability to pro…
Endometriosis is a common benign disease of Gynecology, which often causes symptoms of dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain and infertility. In this paper, we analyzed the effect of laparoscopy combined with mifepristone in the treatment of endometrio…
The focus of the current study was a G protein‑coupled estrogen receptor (GPER)/microRNA (miR)‑148a/human leukocyte antigen‑G (HLA‑G) signaling pathway in ovarian endometriosis. Reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction w…
BACKGROUND: Although several studies have suggested an association between elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) and ovarian cancer risk, others have yielded contradictory results. To address this issue, we conducted a meta-analysis. METHODS: …
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Chronic pancreatitis is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas characterized by progressive tissue destruction and fibrogenesis. The development of chronic pancreatitis is associated with immune cell dysregulation. Current…
Recent studies indicate that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) can act as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) to indirectly regulate mRNAs through shared microRNAs, which represents a novel layer of RNA crosstalk and plays critical roles in the …
STUDY QUESTION: Are endometriotic mesenchymal stem cells (Ecto-MSCs) involved in the fibrosis of ovarian endometrioma? SUMMARY ANSWER: Ecto-MSCs enhanced the fibrotic behavior of stromal cells in ovarian endometrioma through the Wnt/β-cate…
PURPOSE: To explore the relationships between the soluble receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (sRAGE) and the outcome parameters following in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (P…
This study demonstrates the application feasibility of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in measuring estrogen (17β-estradiol) in gas phase. The present biosensor gives a linear response (R2 = 0.999) for 17β-estradiol vapor conce…
BACKGROUND: Occult invasive cervical cancer discovered after simple hysterectomy is not common, radical parametrectomy (RP) is a preferred option for young women. However, the morbidity of RP was high. The aim of our study is to assess the …
OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of nourishing yin removing fire Chinese herbs (NYRF-CH) on the gene expression of hypothalamic growth hormone secretion peptide (Ghrelin) and its receptor growth hormone secretion peptide receptor 1alpha (GH…
Deqi, according to traditional Chinese medicine, is a specific needle sensation during the retention of needles at certain acupoints and is considered to be necessary to produce therapeutic effects from acupuncture. Although some modern res…
Preeclampsia (PE) is an excessive systemic inflammation response with dysfunction of endothelial. Our study was to investigate the association between genetic variations in IL-1 and the susceptibility to PE in Chinese Han population. 402 PE…
Objective To explore the association between anti-reproductive immunassay antibodies and changes of gonadal steroids hormones in endometriosis.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 268 patients with endometriosis(endometr…
RATIONALE: Orai1 and the associated calcium release-activated calcium (CRAC) channel were discovered in the immune system. Existence also in endothelial cells has been suggested, but the relevance to endothelial biology is mostly unknown. …
OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical therapeutic effect of acupuncture combined with acupoint sticking therapy for treatment of dysmenorrhea caused by endometriosis, and to probe into the best therapy for this kind of disease. METHODS: Seven…
BACKGROUND: Icon is a novel, dual neovascular- and cancer cell-targeting immunotherapeutic agent and has shown efficacy in the treatment of cancer, wet form macular degeneration and endometriosis. However, its underlying mechanism remains t…
This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of danazol in women with uterine fibroids.
BACKGROUND: Uterine fibroids (myomas, fibromyomas, leiomyomas) are the most common benign tumours of the female genital tract. Danazol, a synthetic isoxazole derivative chemically related to 17-ethinyl testosterone, has been used for many y…
Objective To investigate the expression of midkine(MK) and the relationship between midkine,cell proliferation and apoptosis in adenomyosis.Methods The immunohistochemical staining(SP) method was applied to detect the expression of MK prote…
