Postpartum uterine infection in dairy cows is commonly caused by pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli (E. coli). Progesterone elicits immunosuppressive function within bovine endometrium, and has been suggested to be related to post…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Adenomyosis focus resection has always been the main surgical method for patients with uterine preservation, but its curative effect and surgical method are still controversial. We improved this method on the basis…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the research is to study the association between the serum levels of autoantibodies against one important epitope (168FMILPVGAANFREAMR183, designated as P6) of α-enolase (ENO1-P6Abs) and miscarriage among euthyroid fem…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) is a relapsing and estrogen-dependent disease. For endometriosis such as deep endometriosis and ovarian endometrioid cysts, surgery is the most effective treatment. Long-term follow-up showed that the recurre…
Synopsis This is a case of ascites secondary to endometriosis without atypical clinical symptoms, which is rare and prone to misdiagnosis.
BACKGROUND: To examine the correlation between the occurrence of adenomyosis and the outcome of vaginal repair of cesarean section scar defects (CSDs). METHODS: A total of 278 women with CSD were enrolled in this retrospective observationa…
BACKGROUND: Cesarean sections are increasingly likely to be applied; however, uterine scar defects (USD) often remain after delivery. The two existing treatment methods, hysteroscopic electric resection and vaginal surgery, are still contro…
Objectives: Endometrial peristalsis (EP) in non-pregnant uterine can be assessed by visual assessment of transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS). However, visual assessment is subjective, and the outcome depends on the sonographers and video analyst…
BACKGROUND: Endometrial stromal sarcoma is a relatively rare malignant tumor that derives from the malignant transformation of primitive uterine mesenchymal cells. It can lead to distant metastases. High-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma is…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is a common benign gynecological disease that affects approximately 10% of females of reproductive age. Endometriosis ectopic lesions could recruit macrophages, which in turn facilitates endometriosis progres…
Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is attributed to endometrial receptivity dysfunction with many unanswered questions. Up to now, there is no explanation for RIF, and therapeutic strategies are usually limited to supportive care. In this…
Carnitine metabolism is thought to be negatively correlated with the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and the specific molecular mechanism is yet to be fully elucidated. Here, we report that little characterized cysteine-rich p…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the needs of obstetricians and gynecologists with different working years for the contents and forms of CME. METHODS: The online questionnaire was distributed on the largest academic training platform for obstetrics a…
Intrauterine adhesions (IUA), characterized by endometrial fibrosis, is a common cause of uterine infertility. We previously demonstrated that partial epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and the loss of epithelial homeostasis play a vit…
Mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP) is one of the main active metabolites of di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP). In our previous works, by using rat and Drosophila models, we showed a disruption of neural function due to DEHP. However, the…
BACKGROUND: Sperm DNA is essential in embryo development. The sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI), which reflects the degree of sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF), is a crucial biomarker in evaluating the sperm quality. However, whether SDF infl…
Endometriosis is a gynaecological condition characterized by the growth of endometrium-like tissues within and outside of the pelvic cavity. Recent studies have demonstrated that aberrant infiltration of M2 macrophages is mainly responsible…
BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the major reason for women's low fertility and the most frequent endocrine disorder in women of childbearing age. Homocysteine is an amino acid that contains sulfur that has been negatively co…
BACKGROUND: Intrauterine insemination (IUI) treatment is recommended in subfertile women with AFS/ASRM stage I/II endometriosis. However, the efficacy of IUI in women with ovarian endometriomas with tubal patency is uncertain. We explored t…
Background: Peritoneal fibrosis (PF) is an intractable complication in patients on long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD). Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is a key pro-fibrogenic factor involved in PD-associated PF, and endoglin, as a core…
Adenomyosis is an estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder. The abnormal migration and invasion of the eutopic endometrium is thought to be the primary role in the pathogenesis of adenomyosis. However, the exact underlying mechanism remain…
BACKGROUND: Endometrial cancer (EC) is one of the most common gynecologic malignancies in clinical practice. This study aimed to compare the value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI), and amide proton trans…
Endometriosis (EMs) is a common benign gynecological disease in women of childbearing age, which usually causes pelvic pain, secondary dysmenorrhea, and infertility. EMs has been linked to recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) in epidemiological d…
INTRODUCTION: Chronic pain is a common symptom significantly affecting the quality of life of breast cancer survivors. Despite the achievement of pharmacological interventions, the barriers associated with this approach such as inaccessibil…
N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most abundant internal modification on mRNAs in eukaryotes, plays a role in endometriosis (EMs). However, the underlying mechanism remains largely unclear. Here, we found that FTO is downregulated in EMs; and p…
