The application of photothermal therapy to treat bacterial infections remains a challenge, as the high temperatures required for bacterial elimination can damage healthy tissues. Here, we develop an exogenous antibacterial agent consisting …

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse in obese Chinese women. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: We performed a secondary analysis of 3,105 obese women from an observat…

The abnormal expression of miRNAs is directly related to the development of human diseases. Predicting the potential candidate miRNAs associated with diseases can contribute to the detection, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of human com…

Jiawei Foshou San (JFS) is the new formula originated from classic Foshou San formula, composed with ligustrazine, ferulic acid, and tetrahydropalmatine. Previously JFS inhibited the growth of endometriosis (EMS) with unclear mechanism, esp…

Research has strongly suggested that the features of endometriosis serve as a precursor lesion of ovarian cancer. Cisplatin (CDDP) is the preferred drug against these cancer types. The present study investigated the effects of CDDP on surgi…

BACKGROUND: Improvements in vitrification and frozen embryo transfer (FET) technologies have rapidly increased, and some evidence suggests that FET may increase pregnancy rates and lead to more favourable perinatal outcomes. However, the ou…

PURPOSE: Adenomyosis has a negative impact on female fertility. GnRH agonist treatment can improve pregnancy outcomes in women with adenomyosis. However, the impact of GnRH agonist upon endometrium receptivity of patients with adenomyosis r…

The aim of the present study was to identify genes with similar function to that of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in invasive lung adenocarcinoma (AC) and to screen the transcription factors that regulate MMPs. The gene expression datase…

Whereas the preparation and biological properties of rambutan peel phenolics (RPP) were explored in our previous studies, the metal chelating, inhibitory DNA damage, and anti-inflammatory activities of RPP were evaluated and the important p…

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Forkhead Box M1 (FOXM1) is frequently activated in tumors. We studied the expression and the possible mechanism of FOXM1 and evaluated the effects of thiostrepton in an endometriotic rat model. METHODS AND MATERIAL: T…

Appendiceal or cecal endometriosis with intestinal metaplasia is uncommon and may mimic mucinous tumors of the appendix. A 50-year-old woman was found incidentally to have an ileocecal lesion. In the intraoperative histological examination,…

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-…

We performed a meta-analysis to assess the diagnostic accuracy of circulating miRNA for patients with ovarian cancer. We systematically searched several online databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastr…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the microRNA expression profiling in endometriosis-associate infertility, and relationship between the microRNA expression and endometrial receptivity evaluated by ultrasound. METHODS: First, miRNA expression prof…

The endometrial layer comprises luminal and glandular epithelia that both develop from the same simple layer of fetal uterine epithelium. Mechanisms of uterine epithelial progenitor self-renewal and differentiation are unclear. This study a…

MELF invasion has been associated with nonvaginal recurrences and lymph node (LN) metastases in multi-institutional case control studies but has not been well examined in large single-institution cohorts. Hysterectomy specimens with FIGO 1 …

This study was to investigate the effects of cisplatin (CDDP) and letrozole on surgically induced endometriosis and comparison of the two drugs in a rat model. Endometriosis was surgically induced by autologous transplantation of endometria…

OBJECTIVE: In this study, the effects of survivin (SVV) on angiogenesis were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. METHODS: The adenovirus (Ad)-mediated murine SVV gene was transfected into rat aortic endothelial cells (RAECs). RAECs expressing …

We evaluated the effectiveness of Kuntai Capsule (KTC) for treating endometriosis using rat model and investigated its preliminary mechanism of action involved. SD rats were implanted with endometrial tissues and treated with KTC for three …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate cyclic changes of fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of normal uterus in different age groups during the menstrual cycle, and the correlation with serum female hormone levels. …

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the feasibility and safety of uterine artery chemoembolization in treating cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP). METHODS: During the period between 1(st) of May 2009 and 17(th) of January 2014, uterine artery chemoembolizati…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the incidences of margin involvement, disease relapse, and complications in patients who had undergone conization using an electrosurgical knife (EKC) for cervical intraepithelial neop…

Gonadotrophin‑releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists (GnRHa) have been widely used to induce a state of downregulation for in vitro fertilization, and its direct effects on the pituitary are well known. However, the effects of GnRHa on the expre…
