BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is well known as a chronic inflammatory disease. The development of endometriosis is heavily influenced by the estrogen receptor β (ERβ), while NOD-like receptors (NLRs) family CARD domain-containing 5 (NLRC5) exhi…

Cervical cancer (CC) is the fourth most common cancer among women worldwide. NLR Family CARD Domain Containing 5 (NLRC5) plays an important role in tumorigenesis. However, its effect and mechanism in CC remains unclear. In this study, we ai…

The adverse effect of ambient PM2.5 exposure on very early pregnancy (VEP) remains controversial among epidemiological studies but is supported by toxicological evidence. We adopted a multicenter retrospective cohort of 141,040 cycles to ev…

BACKGROUND: The link between insulin resistance and endometriosis is not well established. The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index serves as a straightforward and economical indicator of insulin resistance. This study examines the link between…

Abstract Adenomyosis is an estrogen-dependent disease and ranks among the most common gynecological benign conditions in women of childbearing age. Adenomyosis has been reported to coincide with endometrial hyperplasia, polyps, and even end…

OBJECTIVES: Endometriosis (EM), a prevalent estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder affecting women of reproductive age, is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, resulting in pelvic scarring, pain, an…

BACKGROUND: The 2016 Patient-Oriented Strategy Encompassing IndividualizeD Oocyte Number (POSEIDON) criteria redefined the poor responders as low prognosis patients. The embryo transfer strategy for POSEIDON patients remained to be addresse…

Telomere attrition plays a critical role in the reproductive aging process in humans. Telomere length (TL) is typically regulated by telomerase, the main component of which is telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT). The aim of the present …

Endometriosis (EMS) is a prevalent disease and the etiologies has not uniform. Microbiota is associated with human diseases. To delve into the relationship between EMS and microbiota, Ectopic (EM) and eutopic (EU) endometrial tissues, phary…

BACKGROUND: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is one of the most aggressive malignant tumors. Chromobox (CBX) family plays the role of oncogenes in various malignancies. METHODS: The transcriptional and protein levels of CBX family wer…

(1) Background: Single blastocyst transfers (SBT) and double blastocyst transfers (DBT) are widely used in clinical practice. The objective of this study was to investigate the application of these two strategies in women of different ages.…

Ninjurin 1 (NINJ1) is a double-transmembrane cell-surface protein that might mediate plasma membrane rupture (PMR) and the diffusion of inflammatory factors. PMR is a characteristic of acinar cell injury in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). …

The immune system contributes to the pathophysiology of endometriosis. The role of ThGM cells, which produce granulocyte macrophage-colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), in the pathogenesis of endometriosis remains unknown. To analyze the fea…

Biofilm-related diseases are a group of diseases that tolerate antimicrobial chemotherapies and therefore are refractory to treatment. Periodontitis, a non-device chronic biofilm disease induced by dental plaque, can serve as an excellent i…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease. Hormonal and surgical treatments are the most commonly used clinical therapies, but they have many sides effects or are traumatic to the body. Therefore, specific drugs fo…

HMGB1 that belongs to the High Mobility Group-box superfamily, is a nonhistone chromatin associated transcription factor. It is present in the nucleus of eukaryotes and can be actively secreted or passively released by kinds of cells. HMGB1…

Endometriosis is a gynecological inflammatory disease that is linked with immune cells, specifically macrophages. IL-33 secreted from macrophages is known to accelerate the progression of endometriosis. The periodic and repeated bleeding th…

Abstract Endometriosis is a gynecological inflammatory disease which linked with immune cells, specifically macrophages. And IL-33 secreted from macrophages is known to accelerate the progression of endometriosis. The periodic and repeated …

BACKGROUND: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists are a promising therapeutic approach for treating hormone-dependent prostate cancer. Currently, the mainstream GnRH antagonists are polypeptide agents administered through subcut…

PURPOSE: This paper was mainly conducted to investigate the effect of chronic endometritis (CE) on the clinical outcome of patients with unexplained infertility. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 145 patients with unexplained infertility from the Rep…

Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a kind of lymphocytes that reside in the tissue and have an essential function in the immune microenvironment. However, the relationship between endometriosis (EMS) and ILCs is complex and not fully understo…

BACKGROUND: Actinomycosis is an actinomycete infection, a rare zoonotic disease characterized by chronic suppurative inflammation and granulomatous inflammation. When injury occurs to the mucosa where parasites are present, actinomycetes ca…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is a common benign gynecological disease that affects approximately 10% of females of reproductive age. Endometriosis ectopic lesions could recruit macrophages, which in turn facilitates endometriosis progres…

BACKGROUND: The development of the ovaries is an important factor that affects egg production performance in geese. Ovarian development is regulated by genes that are expressed dynamically and stage-specifically. The transcriptome profile a…
