ObjectiveTo determine the concentrations of four neuroprotein biomarkers and 68 miRNAs in neonates with low cord pH and/or mild hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE).Study designA prospective cohort study enrolled neonates with low cord pH …
Objective: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) affects a large proportion of adult women, but the pathogenesis of POP remains unclear. The increase in global population aging will impose a substantial medical burden. Herein, we aimed to explore the…
ObjectiveA case-control study was performed to explore the efficacy and adverse reactions of Mirena combined with hysteroscopy when treating AUB.Methods108 patients with perimenopausal AUB treated in our hospital from June 2019 to December …
Emerging evidence suggests that excess iron accumulates in endometriotic and adenomyotic lesions. However, the role iron overload plays in the pathogenesis of endometriosis or adenomyosis remains unknown. Primary human eutopic endometrial s…
Appropriate ovarian responses to the controlled ovarian stimulation strategy is the premise for a good outcome of the in vitro fertilization cycle. With the booming of artificial intelligence, machine learning is becoming a popular and prom…
Gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) is the most common biliary tract malignancy with the lowest survival rate, primarily arising from chronic inflammation. To better characterize the progression from inflammation to cancer to metastasis, we perform…
A 29-year-old woman with a 5-year history of primary infertility underwent in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) treatment. Hemorrhagic shock caused by retroperitoneal hematoma after oocyte retrieval was treated promptly by the ev…
This is a retrospective cohort study included 1021 patients underwent a flexible GnRH antagonist IVF protocol from January 2017 to December 2017 to explore the effect of a premature rise in luteinizing hormone (LH) level on the cumulative l…
Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is one of the most prevalent reproductive system diseases in females. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are reported to be master regulators in a variety of diseases, including IUA, but the role of microRNA-543 (miR-543) in IUA…
Ovarian hyperandrogenism is one of the characteristics of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and androgen receptor (AR) in ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) functions as an important element to the accumulation of androgens. This study verified t…
A 61-year-old Chinese man with a history of tuberculosis was found to have a large mass in the left lower lobe and multiple ground-glass nodules (GGNs) on lung computed tomography (CT). Post-operative pathology showed lung squamous carcinom…
Transvaginal sonographic elastography can be used for the differentiation of malignant and benign lesions in different systems. Recent studies on strain elastography showed that different endometrial tissues demonstrated different stiffness…
Acute pancreatitis is an acute abdominal disease, with 10-20% of the cases deteriorating rapidly, accompanied by persistent organ failure and further development into severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). The aim of the present study was to inve…
Raised triglycerides (TG) and reduced high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) are components of metabolic syndrome. Both high TG and metabolic syndrome have been reported to be risk factors of endometrial cancer. Therefore, triglycerid…
OBJECTIVE: To assess the cost-effectiveness of different strategies, including gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) and oral contraceptive therapy, for the prevention of endometriosis recurrence after conservative surgery. DESIG…
Endometriosis is characterized by eutopic endometrial cell 'metastasis' to ectopic foci. FOXA2 is a member of the forkhead transcription factor family, which may participate in transcriptional regulation in endometrial cells and contribute …
This study aimed to investigate the effects of Estrogen receptor β (ERβ) on osteosarcoma cells, and explore the regulatory mechanisms involved in this process. Osteosarcoma U2-OS cells consisted four groups, and treated by E2, E2 + LY294002…
BACKGROUND: Despite a myriad of attempts in the last three decades to diagnose ovarian cancer (OC) earlier, this clinical aim still remains a significant challenge. Aberrant methylation patterns of linked CpGs analyzed in DNA fragments shed…
BackgroundTo evaluate the short-term and long-term outcomes after laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) compared with abdominal hysterectomy (AH) in case of benign gynecological disease.MethodsA multi-center cohort retrospective comparative study …
Although Chlamydia-induced hydrosalpinx in women and mice has been used as a surrogate marker for tubal infertility, the medical relevance of nontubal pathologies, such as uterine horn dilation, developed in mice following chlamydial infect…
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Dysregulated long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can lead to the occurrence of various diseases; however, reports of the function of lncRNAs in endometriosis and related studies are scarce. The pathogenesis of endometriosis is s…
DNA methylation is clinically relevant to important tumorigenic mechanisms. This study evaluated the methylation status of candidate genes in cervical neoplasia and determined their diagnostic performance in clinical practice. Cervical canc…
The effect of chemotherapy of gastric cancer (GC) remains very poor because of multidrug resistance (MDR). However, the mechanisms underlying MDR of GC remains far from fully understood. The aim of this study is to illustrate the potential …
BackgroundRecent advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) have provided new methods for preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) of human embryos from in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles. However, there is still limited information about…
Myeloperoxidase (MPO), lactoperoxidase (LPO) and eosinophil peroxidase (EPO) play a central role in oxidative damage in inflammatory disorders by utilizing hydrogen peroxide and halides/pseudo halides to generate the corresponding hypohalou…
