In order to recapitulate the best available evidence of milk consumption and multiple health-related outcomes, we performed an umbrella review of meta-analyses and systematic reviews in humans. Totally, 41 meta-analyses with 45 unique healt…
Global DNA hypomethylation is a most common epigenetic alteration in human neoplasia. However, accumulative evidence shows that global DNA hypomethylation impacts tumorigenesis in a tissue-specific manner, promoting tumorigenesis in some bu…
BACKGROUND: Tumor angiogenesis, an essential process for cancer proliferation and metastasis, has a critical role in prognostic of kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), as well as a target in guiding treatment with antiangiogenic agents…
Background: Endometriosis (EMS) is an estrogen-dependent disease in which endometrial glands and stroma arise outside the uterus. Current studies have suggested that the number and function of immune cells are abnormal in the abdominal flui…
BackgroundMultiple organ failure (MOF) may lead to an increased mortality rate of moderately severe (MSAP) or severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). This study is aimed to use machine learning to predict the risk of MOF in the course of disease.M…
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is 1 of the highly fatal and most aggressive types of malignancies and accounts for the vast majority of Pancreatic Cancer. Numerous studies have reported that the tumor microenvironment (TME) was sig…
BACKGROUND: Our study aimed to investigate if serum prolactin (PRL) levels associated with insulin resistance and beta-cell dysfunction in infertile patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). METHODS: This was a retrospective cross-se…
Vitamin D deficiency is very common in women of reproductive age. Studies in animals suggests a link between vitamin D and reproductive hormone biosynthesis. A systematic analysis of the correlation of reproductive hormones in reproductive-…
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease. Studies have shown that miR-139-5p is significantly upregulated in endometriosis lesions, but its specific role and molecule mechanism in endometriosis has not yet been reported. The malignant…
PURPOSE: This study assessed the predictive value of the preoperative systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII) for lymph node metastasis (LNM) in endometrial cancer (EC) patients. METHODS: We retrospectively included 392 EC patients betwee…
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas. The severity is classified as mild (MAP), moderately severe (MSAP), or severe (SAP). In patients with SAP, organ dysfunction can occur in the early stage of the disease cou…
Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory disorder of the pancreas associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, which is characterized by a rapid depletion of glutathione (GSH). Cysthionine-β-synthase (CBS) is a key coenzyme in GSH synt…
BACKGROUND: In polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), ovarian physiology is tightly linked to the metabolic disturbances observed in this disease. Vitamin D (VD) plays an important role in the regulation of ovulatory dysfunction and can influenc…
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common reproductive endocrine disease characterized by persistent anovulation and hyperandrogenism, affecting approximately 8-10% of women of childbearing age and occupying an important position in the …
Genetic polymorphisms of NEIL1 and NEIL2 maybe change protein function, and increased carcinogenesis. In this study, seven NEIL1 SNPs and three NEIL2 SNPs were selected. 400 CSCCs, 400 CIN III, and 1200 normal healthy controls were genotype…
Study objective: To generate and validate nomograms to predict any-stage and stage III-IV endometriosis before surgery in infertile women. Design: A single center retrospective cohort study. Setting: University affiliated hospital. Patients…
This study aims to investigate the embryo development potential of extending the culture of abnormally fertilized zygotes with no pronuclear (0PN), monopronuclear (1PN), and poor-quality day 3 embryos and to determine the associated clinica…
BACKGROUND: Yuzhi Zhixue Granule (YZG) is a traditional Chinese patent medicine for treating excessive menstrual flow caused by ovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding (ODUB) accompanied by heat syndrome. However, the underlying molecular …
STUDY QUESTION: Does an artificially induced FSH surge at the time of hCG trigger improve IVF/ICSI outcomes? SUMMARY ANSWER: An additional FSH bolus administered at the time of hCG trigger has no effect on clinical pregnancy rate, embryo q…
MiR-124-3p regulates the biological function of endometrial cancer cells. However, the role of miR-124-3p in adenomyosis (AM) has not been reported. Hence, we hypothesized that miR-124-3p also regulated the development of AM. The expression…
Purpose: To investigate the effect of primary varicocele and related surgery in male infertility through meta-analysis. Methods: A systematic search of the literature was conducted using the Medline, Embase, Cochrane, and CNKI databases. Th…
PURPOSE: To explore the exact mechanism through which emodin down-regulates the migration and invasion abilities of endometrial stromal cells. Moreover, to explore the theoretical basis of emodin in the treatment of endometriosis. PATIENTS…
PURPOSE: To examine the expression of MUC16 in the endometrium peri-implantation period in three different cohort studies. METHODS: This was a retrospective observational cohort study. A total of 245 participants were recruited in three se…
Abstract Background: Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic gynaecological disease. Exosomal miRNAs appear to be associated with the progression of EMS, which suggest potential circulating biomarkers in EMS. Methods: Differential centrifugation, …
