Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have attracted more and more attention because of their multidirectional differentiation potential, immune regulatory abilities and self-renewal capacity. In recent years, their use has become prominent in the …
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by the excessive proliferation of keratinocytes and heightened immune activation. Targeting pathogenic genes through small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapy represents a promising…
Chronic endometritis (CE) is closely linked to the reproductive failure. Exosome (Exo)-based therapy is proposed as an encouraging strategy in inflammation-related disorders; however, little work has been devoted to its usage in CE therapy.…
Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a pathological state that represents a fetus's inability to achieve adequate growth during pregnancy. Several maternal, placental, and fetal factors are likely associated with FGR etiology. FGR is linked to…
In the complex and dynamic processes of replication, transcription, and translation of DNA molecules, a large number of replication errors or damage can occur which lead to obstacles in the development process of germ cells and result in a …
Curcumae Longae Rhizoma (turmeric), Curcumae Radix and Curcumae Rhizoma are derived from the Curcuma species, and have gradually become three of the most commonly used medicinal herbs in China due to their different origins, processing meth…
OBJECTIVES: This case report presented cases with spontaneous hemoperitoneum during pregnancy. CASE REPORT: Case 1 presented with acute abdominal pain with signs of shock. Cases 2 and 3 both presented with stable vital signs and the sudden…
BACKGROUND: This randomized controlled trial (RCT) aimed to compare two different routes of postoperative estrogen treatment on the improvements of menstruation, postoperative endometrial thickness, and fertility outcomes in patients with m…
BACKGROUND: The disease burden and incidence of placenta accreta are increasing worldwide. The morbidity and mortality associated with undiagnosed placenta accreta are both high, highlighting the important of early diagnosis and interventio…
BACKGROUND: Progesterone receptor (PGR) is a master regulator of uterine function through antagonistic and synergistic interplays with oestrogen receptors. PGR action is primarily mediated by activation functions AF1 and AF2, but their phys…
BACKGROUND: Severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID -19) has led to a rapid increase in mortality worldwide. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) was a high-risk factor for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, whereas…
Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of dienogest and levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system in the treatment of adenomyosis. Methods: A total of 60 cases of adenomyosis admitted to Dezhou Women and Childr…
OBJECTIVE: Ovarian cancer (OC) is usually called the "silent killer" due to its asymptomatic characteristics until advanced stages, thus being a significant threat to female health worldwide. In this work, we characterized an oncogenic DARS…
CONTEXT: N -acetyl-cysteine (NAC) is a potent antioxidant that can be used for many gynecological diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome and endometriosis. Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) is a critical step in infertility trea…
BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the leading lethal gynecologic cancers of women around the world. More than 70% of patients are diagnosed with stage III or IV with poor outcome. This is partly because of lacking early effective sc…
OBJECTIVE: The principal purpose of this study was to compare reproductive outcomes for stimulated cycles (STC) and hormone replacement cycles (HRC) for endometrial preparation before frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) in young women with …
INTRODUCTION: In recent years, the prevalence of infertility has significantly increased and has become a global reproductive health problem. The female ovarian reserves have been shown to decrease progressively with an increase in age. Bes…
BACKGROUND: The optimal time at which to perform a frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) following a failed in-vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) attempt remains elusive to most reproductive experts. Physicians often delay the intro…
Cancer antigen 125 (CA125), encoded by the mucin 16 cell surface associated (MUC16) gene, has been widely used as a biomarker for ovarian cancer (OC) screening. However, it has yet to be elucidated as to why its levels increase with tumor p…
Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate, in ovulatory patients, whether there is a difference in reproductive outcomes following frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) in natural cycles (NC) compared to modified natural cycles (mNC)…
BACKGROUND: To explore the effects of microRNA (miR)-27b-3p-mediated homeobox A10 (HOXA10) on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of endometriosis cells (hEM15A). METHODS: First, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was per…
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Xiaoyao powder (XYP) is a traditional Chinese medicine formula which has wide scope of indications related to liver stagnation, reconcile qi and blood in TCM syndrome. Infertility can induce similar symptoms …
OBJECTIVE: Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a refractory disease that seriously affects female fertility. Growing body of evidence has indicated mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as promising resources in regenerative medicine. In this …
