PurposeOptimal serological biomarkers have been absent for the early diagnosis of endometrial cancer, to date. In this study, we aimed to define the diagnostic performances of individual and combined detection of serum cysteine protease inh…
ImportanceA growing number of children are conceived with assisted reproductive technology (ART). However, there is a lack of studies systematically analyzing the genetic landscape of live-born children conceived through ART who need intens…
Endometriosis should be diagnosed as early as possible in the continuum of care; but substantial delays of approximately 6-8 years between symptom onset and endometriosis diagnosis have been widely reported. With the purpose of improving th…
AbstractFibromyalgia has been characterized by augmented cross-network functional communication between the brain's sensorimotor, default mode, and attentional (salience/ventral and dorsal) networks. However, the underlying mechanisms of th…
Abstract Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic gynecological disorder that causes infertility and chronic pelvic pain. The aim of the current study was to identify markers of efferocytosis with utility for EM diagnosis.RNA sequencing profile and…
PurposeThe combination of Xiaozheng decoction with postoperative intravesical instillation has been shown to improve the prognosis of bladder cancer patients and prevent recurrence. However, the mechanisms underlying the efficacy of this he…
OBJECTIVE: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the effects of Mediterranean diet on female reproductive health outcomes over the life-course. DATA SOURCES: We searched PubMed, Embase, MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of…
ObjectiveMesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived exosomes (MSC-exo) can treat reproductive disorders. However, the action of microRNAs (miRNAs) in this mechanism has yet to be systematically investigated. This study aimed to explore the effect …
BackgroundTubal surgery's role in infertile women with unilateral tubal pathology (e.g. hydrosalpinx, tubal occlusion) who desire spontaneous or intrauterine insemination (IUI) conception where in-vitro fertilisation is infeasible remains u…
Oxidative stress (OS) arises as a consequence of an imbalance between the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the capacity of antioxidant defense mechanisms to neutralize them. Excessive ROS production can lead to the damage of c…
Endometriosis is an inflammation-dependent disorder characterized by the abnormal growth of endometrium-like lesions. In recent years, there is a great deal of interest in the development of anti-inflammatory therapy. Herein, an acid-sensit…
ObjectiveTo investigate the risk of ovarian malignancy in middle-aged and elderly women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and its correlation with disease activity.Methods219 middle-aged and elderly (age ≥ 40) female RA patients who were treat…
ObjectivesTo compare the accuracy of three-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of scar pregnancy.MethodsThe records of 54 patients with scar pregnancy, who underwent three-dimensional transvag…
This study has focused on determining the association of m6A methyltransferase [methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3), methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14), and Wilms tumor 1-associating protein (WTAP)], demethylase [fat mass and obesity-associa…
IntroductionAcute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease with very poor outcomes. However, the order of induction and coordinated interactions of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and compensatory anti-inflammatory respon…
PurposeTo study the relationship between blastomere number and pregnancy outcomes of day 3 embryo transfers.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study included 2237 fresh single day 3 embryo transfer cycles from October 2013 to November 2020. P…
BackgroundOsteogenic differentiation of aortic valve interstitial cells (AVICs) plays a key role in the calcific aortic valve disease progression. Extracellular vesicles (EVs)-derived from M1-polarized macrophages (M1-EVs) orchestrated inte…
Inositol 1,4,5-Triphosphate Receptor Family (ITPRs) are necessary intracellular Ca2+-release channel encoders and participate in mammalian cell physiological and pathological processes. Previous studies have suggested that ITPRs participate…
ObjectiveTo investigate the value of transabdominal combined transvaginal color Doppler ultrasonography in the diagnosis of uterine adenomyoma.MethodsA total of 80 patients with suspected uterine adenomyoma in our hospital from January 2019…
Sex and aging influence the human immune system, resulting in disparate responses to infection, autoimmunity, and cancer. However, the impact of sex and aging on the immune system is not yet fully elucidated. Using small conditional RNA seq…
ObjectiveIt is well known that circRNAs are closely involved in the progression of various diseases. However, their functions and potential regulatory mechanisms in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) remain largely unknown. In the present stu…
BackgroundTumor 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. …
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a member of the neurotrophin family, plays critical roles in the physiological process of oocyte mature and IVF outcomes of patients with infertility. However, the regulation of BDNF expression in t…
Chronic pancreatitis (CP), characterized by pancreatic fibrosis, is a recurrent, progressive and irreversible disease. Activation of the pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) is considered a core event in pancreatic fibrosis. In this study, we i…
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) serve as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) and indirectly regulate gene expression through shared microRNAs (miRNAs). However, the potential circRNAs functioning as ceRNAs in osteoporosis remain unclear. The bone m…
