The focus of the current study was a G protein‑coupled estrogen receptor (GPER)/microRNA (miR)‑148a/human leukocyte antigen‑G (HLA‑G) signaling pathway in ovarian endometriosis. Reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction w…

Inhibin B (INHBB), a heterodimer of a common α-subunit and a βB-subunit, is a glycoprotein belonging to the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) family. In this study, we observed INHBB expression was reduced in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NP…

Bevacizumab, which is a humanized anti-VEGF antibody, has been successfully applied in clinics since 2004. Bevacizumab in combination with chemotherapy showed high safety and has been applied to solid tumors. However, studies on the insight…

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…

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified >250 loci for body mass index (BMI), implicating pathways related to neuronal biology. Most GWAS loci represent clusters of common, noncoding variants from which pinpointing causal gene…

In the version of this article originally published, one of the two authors with the name Wei Zhao was omitted from the author list and the affiliations for both authors were assigned to the single Wei Zhao in the author list. In addition, …

In the published version of this paper, the name of author Emanuele Di Angelantonio was misspelled. This error has now been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.

In recent decades, we have observed a remarkable increase in the rate of caesarean section (CS) in both developed and developing countries, especially in China. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) systematic review, if the incr…

Primary dysmenorrhoea, defined as painful menstrual cramps in the absence of pelvic pathology, is a common problem in women of reproductive age. Its aetiology and pathophysiology remain largely unknown. Here we performed a two-stage genome-…

Our laboratory previously used the SEREX method in U937 cells and identified a novel leukemia-associated gene MLAA-34, a novel splice variant of CAB39L associated with acute monocytic leukemia, that exhibited anti-apoptotic activities in U9…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role and potential molecular mechanism of Galectin-3 (Gal-3) in the etiology of endometriosis-associated infertility. METHODS: We detected Gal-3 expression in eutopic endometrium from women with endometriosis-a…

Hepatic endometriosis is one of the rarest disorders characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrium in the liver. To our knowledge, only 21 cases of hepatic endometrioma have been described in the medical literature. We report a case …

Hemangiopericytoma (HPC) and meningioma, for their morphology immunohistochemical markers similarity, were usually confused especially before surgery. This study aimed to develop a panel of biomarkers to differentiate HPC from meningioma. R…

Body fat distribution is a heritable trait and a well-established predictor of adverse metabolic outcomes, independent of overall adiposity. To increase our understanding of the genetic basis of body fat distribution and its molecular links…

Renal endometriosis is a rare disease for which the mechanisms of pathogenesis are still unclear. As such, early diagnosis and an appropriate treatment are often delayed because of the tendency to be misdiagnosed as a renal tumor. In Octobe…

This study investigated the risk factors and early predictors for heterotopic pregnancy (HP) after in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). From January 2008 to January 2013, 41 cases of HP and 72 cases of intrauterine twin preg…

PurposeThis meta-analysis tries to find and confirm the true prognostic value of serum AMH and the follicle fluid AMH (FF AMH) on the outcome of ART.MethodWe identified all studies published by March 2014 with data related to in vitro ferti…

Epigenetic changes play significant roles in cancer development. UHRF1, an epigenetic regulator, has been shown to be overexpressed and to coordinate tumor suppressor gene (TSG) silencing in several cancers. In a previous study, we found th…

As a non-surgical treatment, high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has received increasing interest for the treatment of gynaecological diseases over the last 10 years. Many studies have shown that HIFU is safe and effective in treating …

Uterine leiomyomas are the most common tumors to affect women. Cases of uterine leiomyoma mimicking a gastrointestinal stromal tumor with chronic spontaneous hemorrhage are extremely rare, and similar cases to that of the present study are …

Liver cancer is one of the most lethal cancers, but our knowledge of the molecular mechanism underlying this process remains insufficient. Through deep sequencing and expression regulation analysis in liver cancer cells, we identified two n…

Exposure to arsenic (As) has been associated with a number of diseases such as cancers, cardiovascular diseases (CVD), and neurological disorders. To explore the possible underlying epigenetic mechanisms, a nested case-control study was con…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of lesion location on adhesion and angiogenesis of transplanted endometriotic lesions in SCID mice. METHODS: Three groups of female SCID mice included intraperitoneal (i.p.) (n = 12), subcutaneous (s.c.) …
