BackgroundAPOBEC3A (A3A) has been implicated to have vital prognostic value in several common cancers. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of A3A expression in cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CESC).MethodsThis retrospecti…

Low-dose aspirin is widely used during frozen-embryo transfer (FET) cycles. Its anti-platelet property makes it a potentially useful drug for the prevention of hypertension disorders of pregnancy (HDP). However, the existing evidence about …

Abstract Background Accessory and cavitated uterine mass (ACUM) is a rare uterine anomaly newly recognized as a form of developmental Mullerian anomaly, which represents a non-communicating uterus-like mass within an otherwise normal uter…

Although using letrozole (LE) during in vitro fertilisation and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) has many advantages, it remains unclear whether LE induces an increase in progestogen during the late follicular phase. The objectiv…

ObjectiveThis study aimed to better understand the psychological experiences of inpatients with acute pancreatitis (AP).DesignWe used a qualitative descriptive study design to capture patients with AP's thoughts, feelings and behavioural re…

Endometrial tumor has increased in occurrence and fatality in China during the last 11 years, owing to inconsistent hormone use and modifications in people living surrounding and lifestyles. One of the three main gynaecological tumors is en…

Background: Endometriosis is a debilitating gynecological condition that manifests many common malignant features, including migration and invasion. Hypoxia is a hallmark of endometriosis, characterized by endometrial cell metastasis via ep…

Intussusception is defined as telescoping of the proximal bowel (intussusceptum) into the lumen of the distal bowel, otherwise called the intussuscipiens. While it is one of the most common causes of intestinal obstruction in children betwe…

Endometriosis (EMs) is an estrogen (E2)-dependent inflammatory disorder. Although EMs is considered a benign disease, it presents with malignant characteristics, such as migration and invasion. An increasing number of studies have shown tha…

Endometriosis is an oestrogen-dependent disease, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is involved in the process of endometriosis. Whether oestrogen could induce EMT in endometriosis remains largely unknown. Here, we reported that up…

AIM: This study aimed to investigate the in vitro alterations of the expression of signal regulatory protein-α (SIRP-α) and CD36 in macrophages in the endometriosis condition. METHODS: The expression of SIRP-α and CD36 was measured in perit…

Endometriosis is a benign gynecologic disorder, and presents with malignant characteristics, such as migration and invasion. Hypoxia has been implicated in triggering epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Hypoxia is also known to induce …

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent benign gynecological disease that shares some common features of malignancy. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been recognized as a core mechanism of endometriosis. MALAT1 is widely known as …

OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the alterations in macrophage polarization in patients with endometriosis as well as the underlying molecular mechanisms. METHODS: Peritoneal washings, serum samples, and endometrial tissues were collected…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER, also known as GPR30 and GPER1) stabilizes hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) in eutopic endometrium (EuEM) of endometriosis. DESIGN: Immunohistochemical analysi…

Endometriosis is a benign gynecological disease that shares some characteristics with malignancy like migration and invasion. It has been reported that both hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and autophagy were upregulated in ectopic endo…

Sclerosing mesenteritis (SM) is an extremely rare disease characterized by chronic non-specific inflammation, fat necrosis and fibrosis of the mesentery. We presented a 77-year-old man with progressive dyschezia, abdominal pain and mass in …

The effectiveness of thalidomide in treating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been widely recognized. Meanwhile, many serious adverse drug reactions have been observed, but no know reports on ovarian reserve function.Female patients, ra…

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 …

The recent characterization of stem/progenitor cells in the endometrium has shed new light for pathogenesis of endometriosis. The present study was undertaken to investigate the role of Notch1, known as a cell fate regulator, in the mechani…

Human endometrium decidualization, which involves endometrial stromal proliferation and differentiation, is a prerequisite for embryo implantation, thus successful pregnancy. The Forkhead Box M1 (FoxM1), previously known as HNF-3, HFH-11, M…

BackgroundSerous epithelial ovarian cancer is the most common variety of ovarian cancer and is currently diagnosed using serum CA-125 levels. HMGA1 a small 10.6-12 kDa protein, has been implicated as a potentially important tumor biomarker …

OBJECTIVE: To explore the association between endometriosis stage, characteristics of endometriotic lesions and severity of dysmenorrhoea. METHODS: The clinical data were collected from 140 patients with laparoscopically diagnosed endometri…

OBJECTIVE: The recent characterization of possible stem/progenitor cells in the endometrium has shed new light on the origins of ectopic endometrial tissue and the mechanism for the pathogenesis of endometriosis, but has raised new question…

Aims. The aim of this study is to compare our results of preoperative chemotherapy followed by pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) with those of surgery alone in patients with localized resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Methods. …
