EMs is a kind of benign disease with certain malignant behaviors. The adhesion, invasive growth, and angiogenesis of ectopic endometrial cells are the pathological basis of EMs occurrence, but its etiology and pathogenesis have not been com…
Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved catabolic process that can degrade cytoplasmic materials and recycle energy to maintain metabolite homeostasis in cells. Autophagy is closely related to various physiological or pathological processe…
OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy of the Zishen Yutai Pill compared with placebo on live birth rates among women after fresh embryo transfer cycles. METHODS: We conducted a double-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled, randomized trial to…
BACKGROUND: Lymphangiogenesis is a process involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases. Identifying key molecules and pathway targeting this process is critical for lymphatic regeneration-associated disorders. EGR1 is a transcription fact…
INTRODUCTION: To evaluate whether the incidence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) in pregnant women was related to endometriosis (EM), ovulation and embryo vitrification technology. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was cond…
BACKGROUND: A comprehensive clinical strategy for infertility involves treatment and, more importantly, post-treatment evaluation. As a component of assessment, endometrial receptivity does not have a validated tool. This study was anchored…
OBJECTIVE: Emerging studies have demonstrated the promising clinical value of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) for diagnosis, disease assessment, treatment monitoring and prognosis in epithelial ovarian cancer. However, the clinical applicati…
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…
AIM: To classify the FIGO's PALM-COEIN etiology for abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) patients according to the ultrasound and histopathology and to evaluate the etiology prevalence distribution for AUB patients. METHODS: A total of 1065 wom…
OBJECTIVE: The value of serum AMH, INHB, and bFSH levels in assessing postoperative ovarian reserve function was analyzed by measuring serum anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), inhibin B (INHB), and basal follicle-stimulating hormone (bFSH) level…
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder that occurs in women of reproductive age. Anovulation caused by abnormal follicular development is still the main characteristic of PCOS patients with infertile. Granulosa cell (GC) …
BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of endometriosis (EMs) is still based on laparoscopic observation. This study tries to verify whether exosomal tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs) in leucorrhea can be used as non-invasive diagnostic markers. METHODS: E…
Abstract Background: The diagnosis of endometriosis (EMs) is still based on laparoscopic observation. This study tries to verify whether exosomal tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs) in leucorrhea can be used as non-invasive diagnostic markers. Me…
Extracellular vesicles from adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) play an important role in lymphangiogenesis; however, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. In this study, we aimed to investigate the function of extr…
ObjectivesIdentify genetic loci of enhanced susceptibility to Chlamydial trachomatis (Ct) upper genital tract infection in women.MethodsWe performed an integrated analysis of DNA genotypes and blood-derived mRNA profiles from 200 Ct-exposed…
BACKGROUND: The treatment of large pelvic masses in postmenopausal women is a challenge in clinical practice. Although ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging can be used to determine the size and location of the mass, it is still difficul…
BACKGROUND: A receptive endometrium is a prerequisite for successful embryo implantation. Mounting evidence shows that nearly one-third of infertility and implantation failures are caused by defective endometrial receptivity. This study poo…
Total number born (TNB), number of stillborn (NSB), and gestation length (GL) are economically important traits in pig production, and disentangling the molecular mechanisms associated with traits can provide valuable insights into their ge…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the associations between homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and pregnancy outcomes in non-dyslipidemic infertile women undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embr…
Abnormal gene expression caused by epigenetic changes, including DNA methylation, is associated with the development and progression of endometriosis. Grainyhead-like 2 gene (GRHL2), a suppressor of epithelial-mesenchymal transition, has be…
BACKGROUND: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a type of life-threatening malignant tumor of the urinary system. IL20RB, interleukin 20 receptor subunit beta, is a cytokine receptor subunit coding gene and was initially found to pla…
AIM: To investigate the value of amide proton transfer weighted (APTw) imaging and R2∗ mapping of cystic fluid in differentiating ovarian endometriotic cysts (OE) from other ovarian cystic (OOC) lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 4…
BACKGROUND: The onset and progression of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) are closely associated with the persistent infection of high-risk HPV (especially type16), which is mainly caused by immune escape. Natural killer (NK) cells …
We first reported that the Hippo-YAP signaling pathway plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis (EMS). Autophagy is also related to the invasion ability of endometrial cells and is involved in the pathogenesis of EMS throu…
The gut microbiota (GM) has received extensive attention in recent years, and its key role in the establishment and maintenance of health and in the development of diseases has been confirmed. A strong correlation between the GM and the pro…
