ObjectivesTo explore the incidence of retained embryos (REs) in embryo transfer (ET) cycles and its effects on pregnancy outcomes in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF).MethodsThis was a matched retrospective cohort study involvin…
Endometriosis, a prevalent condition, has long been recognized as a chronic and debilitating ailment affecting an estimated 1790 million women worldwide. Observational studies have established a correlation between endometriosis and ovarian…
Gut microbiota and its metabolites are related to the female reproductive system. Animal experiments have demonstrated the relationship between gut microbiota-derived short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and embryo quality. However, few studies …
ObjectiveFor patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) to undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET), there has been no consensus regarding which protocol is the most optimal for live birth rate in fresh cycles. We s…
Cachexia, a complex disorder that results in depletion of adipose tissue and skeletal muscle, is driven by anorexia, metabolic abnormalities and inflammation. There are limited therapeutic options for this syndrome. Previous evidence has de…
Objectives: The association between non-genetic risk factors and cervical cancer (CC) remains controversial and unclear. This umbrella review was conducted to evaluate and synthesize previously published systematic reviews and meta-analyses…
ObjectiveTo assess whether low-grade inflammation, measured by serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels, is associated with in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes.DesignA retrospective study.SettingUniversity-affiliated IVF c…
BackgroundLung cancer (LC) is the leading type of cancer worldwide, yet it's challenging to detect early LC. Therefore, it is valuable to explore diagnostic biomarker that can distinguish malignant pulmonary lesions from benign diseases. Th…
Severe acute pancreatitis-associated acute lung injury (SAP-ALI) is a serious disease associated with high mortality. Emodin has been applied to alleviate SAP-ALI; however, the mechanism remains unclear. We report that the therapeutic role …
Endometriosis, a chronic disorder characterised by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, is associated with iron overload and oxidative stress in the lesion. Although it is well established that iron overload can trigg…
Abstract Background Endometriosis is a common disease and was considered a chronic, debilitating disease affecting an estimated 1790 million women worldwide. Observational studies have shown a link between endometriosis and ovarian cancer. …
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNA) metabolism-related genes play an important role in the development of cancers. We assessed the associations of genetic variants in genes involved in the metabol…
Estrogen and progesterone specify the establishment of uterine receptivity mainly through their respective nuclear receptors, ER and PR. PR is transcriptionally induced by estrogen-ER signaling in the endometrium, but how the protein homeos…
The aim is to explore the protective effects of Puerarin on radiation-induced vascular endothelial cell damage and its underlying mechanism. The apoptosis and DNA damage of Human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) exposed to radi…
Endometrial cancer (EC) is a common gynecological cancer. In some parts of the world, the incidence and mortality of EC are on the rise. Understanding the risk factors of EC is necessary to prevent the occurrence of this disease. Observatio…
ObjectiveOur purpose is to explain the onset, diagnosis, and treatment of pancreatic tumor-associated pancreatitis (PTP), and inform clinicians about the management of PTP. It is hoped that clinicians can gain some experience and inspiratio…
BackgroundEpidemiological studies have shown that young women often suffer from primary dysmenorrhea (PD) which is a common cause that affects their routine work and quality of life. Chinese herbal medicine has been widely used for PD in Ch…
Prostate cancer (PCa) refers to one of the most common tumors in male's genitourinary system. Emerging research has confirmed that circRNAs play an important role in the occurrence and development of tumors. However, the correlation between…
BackgroundThe present study is aimed at providing systematic insight into the composition and expression of transfer RNA (tRNA) derivative transcription in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC).MethodstRNA derivative expression profiles …
An accumulating number of studies have found that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in breast cancer (BC) development. LncRNA VCAN-AS1, a novel lncRNA, has been confirmed to regulate the progression of gastric cancer, while its role…
Recent studies have shown that PPP1R14B was highly expressed in tumor tissues and patients with high expression of PPP1R14B had poor survival rates. However, the function and mechanisms of PPP1R14B in tumor progression remain ill defined. T…
Pancreatitis is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas characterized by acinar cell injury and is associated with the abnormal release of trypsin, which results in high mortality due to systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and mu…
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a leading cause of death and is commonly accompanied by systemic manifestations that are generally associated with a poor prognosis. Many cytokines contribute to pancreatic tissue damage and cause systemic injury.…
Immune checkpoint blockade has shown unprecedented and durable clinical response in a wide range of cancers. T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 3 (TIM3) is an inhibitory checkpoint protein that is highly expressed in tumor-infiltrating …
MiR-30a-5p plays an important role in various cardiovascular diseases, but its effect in atherosclerosis has not been reported. Apolipoprotein E-deficient (Apo E-/-) mice were used to investigate the role of miR-30a-5p in atherosclerosis, a…
