ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Guizhi Fuling decoction (GZFL decoction) is a famous formula in the Synopsis of the Golden Chamber, which has a long history in treating endometriosis. However, its exact mechanism remains unclear. AIM OF ST…
BACKGROUND: Different endometrial patterns have an important effect on the relationship between endometrial thickness (EMT) and clinical pregnancy rate. There is a significant difference in age, selection of cycle protocols, and clinical pr…
Abstract Polychlorinated biphenyls(PCBs) are persistent environmental endocrine disruptor. This study aim to investigate the changes of the ectopic endometrium invasive ability and the possible mechanism after exposure to PCBs during pregn…
During pregnancy, humoural immunity is essential for protection against many extracellular pathogens; however, autoimmune diseases may be induced or aggravated. T follicular helper (Tfh) cells contribute to humoural immunity. The aim of thi…
Immunotherapy is a practical and promising treatment for advanced and recurrent endometrial cancer (EC). In this study, we identified an immune-related gene (IRG) signature to predict the overall survival (OS) and response to immune checkpo…
BACKGROUND: Window of implantation (WOI) displacement is one of the endometrial origins of embryo implantation failure, especially repeated implantation failure (RIF). An accurate prediction tool for endometrial receptivity (ER) is extraord…
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the application of shear wave elastography (SWE) in the early damage detection through assessing the endometrial elasticity after artificial abortion. METHODS: A total of nulliparous women (20-30…
IMPORTANCE: Many indicators need to be considered when judging the condition of patients with infertility, which makes diagnosis and treatment complicated. OBJECTIVE: To construct a dynamic scoring system for infertility to assist clinicia…
Abstract Objectives: Given the increasing prevalence of hysteromyoma among the Chinese rural women of childbearing age, it is imperative that more attention should be given to researching risk factors that predispose women to this conditio…
The use of Shi Xiao San (SXS), composed of Pollen Typhae Angustifoliae and Faeces Trogopterori, can be traced back to the Song dynasty. Traditionally, SXS has been used to treat irregular menstruation, pelvic pain, progressive dysmenorrhea,…
The objective of this paper was to compare the effect of recombinant follicle-stimulating hormone (rFSH) and urinary follicle-stimulating hormone (uFSH) on pregnancy rates and live birth rates with the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) …
Endometriosis is associated with inflammatory reaction, and reactive oxidative species (ROS) are highly pro-inflammatory factors. Mitochondria are responsible for the production of ROS and energy. However, little is known about how mitochon…
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is an effective means to treat infertility, but the pregnancy rate is still unsatisfactory and reliable markers to predict pregnancy outcome are ill-defined. Myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC) are critically…
OBJECTIVE: This study was performed to assess the predictive value of the anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) serum level for spontaneous pregnancy in women after endometriosis surgery. METHODS: In total, 124 patients with suspected ovarian endom…
With the progress of global industrialization and environmental deterioration, the relationship between human health and the living environment has become an increasing focus of attention. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs, including dioxin-l…
BACKGROUND Studies have shown that the concentration of interleukin (IL)-6 in peritoneal fluid is increased in patients with endometriosis; however, whether the disorders involving IL-6 contribute to the development of endometriosis is stil…
BACKGROUND: To identify the level of periostin in serum and peritoneal washing fluids (PWF) from women with and without endometriosis, as well as to explore the potential of periostin as a biomarker of endometriosis. METHODS: Samples were …
OBJECTIVE: The aims of this study are to detect levels of AGEs and RAGE and SNPs for RAGE in vaginal tissues of women with POP and rats in a repair location, and to explore the relationship between AGEs-RAGE pathway and POP. METHODS: This …
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the feasibility and safety of single-incision multiport laparoscopy (SIMPL) used in patients who underwent laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) for gynecologic disease, and the cosmetic outcome and economic ben…
Liver cancer is one of the most lethal cancers, but our knowledge of the molecular mechanism underlying this process remains insufficient. Through deep sequencing and expression regulation analysis in liver cancer cells, we identified two n…
OBJECTIVE: The guizhi fuling (GZFL) capsule has been a traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of gynecological inflammation for the past thousands of years. However, as a formula, its therapeutic mechanism has not been clearly eluci…
OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the cause of infertility and impairment of tubal reproductive functions in infertility patients, who suffered tubal pregnancy after conservative treatment, using laparoscopy, hysteroscopic tubal catheterization, and hydr…
The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of Wenshen Xiaozheng Tang (WXT) on the development of endometriosis in a rat model. Sprague-Dawley rats in which endometriotic implants were induced were divided randomly into 3 group…
AIM OF THE STUDY: To investigate the immunological regulation of Guizhi Fuling Capsule (GZFLC) on rat endometriosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-seven rats, in which endometriotic implants were induced by transplanting autologous uterine…
