Acute pancreatitis is a life-threatening disease accompanied by systemic inflammatory response. NF-κB and p38 signal pathways are activated in AP induced by cerulein. And PAKs are multifunctional effectors of Rho GTPases with kinase activit…

We aim to investigate the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of intraperitoneal hemorrhage during pregnancy and parturition.Three cases with intraperitoneal hemorrhage during pregnancy and parturition admitted to our hospital from Jan. 200…

BACKGROUND: Previous work demonstrated that there are numerous miRNAs in human follicular fluids, some of which are associated with reproductive diseases. In the current study, we sought to determine whether microRNAs (miRNAs) in the follic…

RATIONALE: During a normal pregnancy, in the 1st trimester uterus lies in pelvis and enlarges in size as the pregnancy advances. By 14 weeks of gestation, the gravid uterus transforms from a pelvis to an abdominal organ and a retroverted ut…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility, effectiveness, and reproductive outcome of hysteroscopic management using the Hysteroscopy Endo Operative system (HEOS) in patients with diffuse uterine leiomyomatosis (DUL). DESIGN: Retrospect…

Immunologic disorder has been reported to promote the progression of endometriosis (EMT). It has been known that myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) drive the progression of many types of diseases. Few studies have shown the relation b…

Endometriosis is still a major problem in obstetrics and gynecology. While GZFLW (Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan) has been originally used for treating gynecological diseases, however, the molecular mechanism that GZFLW acts on endometriosis is not cl…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the incidence of recurrence between a cohort with a high number (≥6) of endometrial polyps (EPs) and a single-EP cohort among reproductive-age patients after polypectomy. DESIGN: Prospective observational cohort study…

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age and is commonly complicated by adverse endometrial outcomes. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of non-protein-coding tr…

BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer is the major cause of death from cancer among females worldwide. Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is considered a distinct histopathologic subtype with worse prognosis and resistance to conventional chemotherap…

Cases of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) arising from ovarian endometriosis have been rarely reported. Most of the patients show a poor prognosis and present with a diminished survival time. We present a SCC case arising from endometriosis, a…

Adenomyosis is a pathological gynaecological condition characterized by benign invasion of the endometrium into the myometrium. High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is one of the most common therapeutic strategies for the treatment of a…

Primary dysmenorrhoea, defined as painful menstrual cramps in the absence of pelvic pathology, is a common problem in women of reproductive age. Its aetiology and pathophysiology remain largely unknown. Here we performed a two-stage genome-…

BACKGROUND: Primary dysmenorrhoea (PD), defined as painful menses in women with normal pelvic anatomy, is one of the most common gynaecological syndromes. Acupoint-stimulation could potentially be an effective intervention for PD. Our aim w…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a multifactorial, oestrogen-dependent, inflammatory, gynaecological condition that can result in long-lasting visceral pelvic pain and infertility. Acupuncture could be an effective treatment for endometriosis a…

Melatonin is an important hormone for regulating mammalian circadian biology and cellular homeostasis. Recent evidence has shown that melatonin exerts anti-nociception effects in both animals and humans. However, according to clinical trial…

Aerobic glycolysis is essential for tumor growth and survival. Activation of multiple carcinogenic signals contributes to metabolism reprogramming during malignant transformation of cancer. Recently nitric oxide has been noted to promote gl…

BACKGROUND: The junctional zone (JZ), also called as the endometrial-myometrial junction, is related to peristaltic-like movements in the non-pregnant uterus. Hyperperistalsis and dysperistalsis of uterus constructions might underlie many i…

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to investigate the change in plasma anandamide (AEA) levels throughout the normal menstrual cycle, and to analyze the relationship among AEA, sex steroids and gonadotrophins. MATERIALS AND METHODS:…

BACKGROUND/AIMS: We investigated the role of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in the endometrium of unexplained infertility (UI) patients, and effect of anandamide (AEA) on leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF). METHODS: Patients were divided i…

IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is characterized by high serum IgA levels and IgA deposition in the renal mesangium. Recent research has indicated that pathogenic IgA may originate from affected tonsils, where present enhancement of IgA production b…

Carom is a novel protein that regulates membrane curvature and transmits pathophysiological signaling. The tissue expression of Carom is unclear and its functional role and signaling are unknown. We employed a group of combined database min…

PURPOSE: To investigate whether postoperative GnRH agonist (GnRH-a) treatment can prevent endometriosis recurrence. METHODS: This meta-analysis searched PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library for relevant studies published online before June …

PURPOSE: The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of 2, 5, and 20 % O2 on post-thaw day 3 human embryo culture until blastocyst stage. METHODS: One hundred fifty-five day 3 human embryos were used. One hundred twenty out of…
