The molecular mechanism underlying the development of intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) is not completely understood. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play a significant role in the occurrence and development of various diseases, and studies have …

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…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a benign gynecological disease that shares some characteristics with malignant tumors and affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. Endometrioma refers to endometriosis that appears in the ovary. M…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is an oestrogen-dependent disease with an unclear aetiology and pathogenesis affecting 6-10% of the global female population, predominantly those of reproductive age. Herein, we profile the transcriptomes of approx…

BACKGROUND: Thin endometrial thickness (EMT) has been suggested to be associated with reduced incidence of pregnancy rate after in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) treatment, but the effect of thin endometrium…

BACKGROUND: Vaginal lubrication is a crucial physiological response that occurs at the beginning of sexual arousal. However, research on lubrication disorders (LD) is still in its infancy, and the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in L…

PURPOSE: Exosomes are the effective delivery system for biological compounds, including circular RNAs. In this research, we aimed to explore the role of circular RNA hsa_circRNA_0002130 in osimertinib-resistant non-small cell lung cancer (N…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of postoperative adjuvant treatment (gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists [GnRHas] and oral contraceptives [OCs]) and expectant treatment in preventing recurrent dysmenorrhea following conservative lapa…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role(s) of hyaluronan synthase 2 (HAS2) and hyaluronan in disease progression of endometriosis and epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced motility changes of endometriotic cells. DESIGN: A case-control experime…

Although estrogen has crucial functions for endometrium growth, the specific dose and underlying molecular mechanism in intrauterine adhesion (IUA) remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of estrogen on epithelial…

The purpose of this study was to integrate the existing expression profile data on endometriosis (EM)-related tissues in order to identify the differentially expressed genes. In this study, three series of raw expression data were downloade…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a benign gynaecological disease with malignant characteristics that severely affects women's quality of life. Long noncoding RNA maternally expressed gene 3 (LncRNA MEG3) is a tumour suppressor that is downregul…

PURPOSE: To evaluate whether miR-148a-3p overexpression is associated with disrupted decidualization of recurrent implantation failure (RIF). METHODS: Endometrial miRNA and mRNA expression profiles during the implantation window derived fr…

Interleukin (IL)-34 plays a critical role in cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, inflammation and immunoregulation. Numerous diseases can be attributed to the dysregulation of IL-34 signaling. This study was perfor…

BACKGROUND: Female sex workers (FSWs) are key groups in the transmission of sexual transmitted infections (STI), and vaginal microbiome variations play an important role in transmission. We aimed to explore the characteristics of vaginal mi…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Endometriosis is characterized by the occurrence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. Collagen triple helix repeat containing-1 (CTHRC1) is known as a tumour-promoting factor in several neoplasms. This study aim…

Several studies have indicated that microRNAs (miRs) mediate multiple pathways associated with tumorigenesis and progression. Our preliminary study experimentally verified that miR‑146a‑5p has a role in the biological behavior of non‑small …

AIM: To investigate the roles of cell migration and invasion mediated by Twist in endometriosis. METHODS: The protein levels and locations of Twist, N-cadherin and E-cadherin were measured by Western blot and immunohistochemistry in ectopi…

The activation of systemic and local inflammatory mechanisms, including elevated levels of chemokines and proinflammatory cytokines in endometriosis progression, is becoming more evident in the recent years. Here, we report the involvement …

Endometriosis is a common gynecological condition with unclear pathogenesis. Although a dysregulated lncRNA expression profile has been speculated, very few studies have addressed this hypothesis. We determined the differential lncRNA and m…

Mammalian STE20-like kinase 1 (Mst1) is well recognized as a major tumor suppressor in cancer development, growth, metabolic reprogramming, metastasis, cell death and recurrence. However, the roles of Mst1 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSC…

S100 calcium-binding protein A6 (S100A6) is up-regulated in many malignancies and overexpression of S100A6 has been identified associated with proliferation, migration and invasion phenotype in several cancer cells. In the present study, we…

PURPOSE: To investigate the expression patterns of N-acetyl galactosamine transferases (GalNAc-Ts)-3 and GalNAc-T6 in clinicopathologically characterized endometriosis (EMS), and to explore their clinical significance. METHODS: Ectopic and…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the feasibility and efficacy of hysteroscopic excision of myometrial adenomyotic lesions. DESIGN: A case-series study. SETTING: A university medical centre. POPULATION: 51 women with myometrial adenomyosis completed…

An accurate, time efficient, and inexpensive prognostic indicator is needed to reduce cost and assist with clinical decision making for cancer management. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), which is derived from common serum testing,…
