ObjectiveIt is well known that circRNAs are closely involved in the progression of various diseases. However, their functions and potential regulatory mechanisms in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) remain largely unknown. In the present stu…
Endometrial carcinoma is one of the most common malignancies in the female reproductive system. Interleukin-37 (IL-37) is a newly discovered anti-inflammatory factor belonging to the IL-1 family. IL-37 has five different isoforms, and IL-37…
It has been unraveled that microRNAs (miRNAs) played crucial roles in processes of human diseases, while the role of miR-494-5p in intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) remains scarcely studied. We aimed to investigate the mechanisms of mi…
Acute pancreatitis (AP), an inflammatory disorder of the pancreas with a high hospitalization rate, frequently leads to systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). However, therapeutic targ…
BackgroundEndometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy worldwide. Polymorphisms in MALAT1 have been demonstrated to play critical roles in cancer. However, the roles of MALAT1 polymorphisms in the etiology of endometrial can…
BackgroundEstrogen sulfotransferase catalyzes conjugation of sulfuryl-group to estradiol/estrone and regulates E2 availability/activity via estrogen-receptor or non-receptor mediated pathways. Sulfoconjugated estrogen fails to bind estrogen…
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) serve as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) and indirectly regulate gene expression through shared microRNAs (miRNAs). However, the potential circRNAs functioning as ceRNAs in osteoporosis remain unclear. The bone m…
Jie-Yu Pill (JYP) is a proprietary herbal medicine initially developed to treat menstrual mood disorders. This study sought to determine whether JYP could alleviate menopausal psychiatric symptoms in ovariectomized (OVX) mice, an animal mod…
Pelvic organ prolapses (POP) notably reduces the quality of life in elderly populations due to bladder and bowel dysfunction, incontinence, and coital problems. Extracellular matrix (ECM) disorder is a pivotal event in the progression of PO…
Artificial intelligence (AI) has experienced rapid growth over the past few years, moving from the experimental to the implementation phase in various fields, including medicine. Advances in learning algorithms and theories, the availabilit…
Endometriosis is a common estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, which causes infertility and pelvic pain. Polymorphisms in MALAT1 have been demonstrated …
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 …
This retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate the effect of placental location on birthweight discordance among diamniotic-dichorionic twin pregnancies. Medical records and sonographic reports of 978 diamniotic-dichorionic twin pregn…
Chemoresistance is a major unmet clinical obstacle in ovarian cancer treatment. Epigenetics plays a pivotal role in regulating the malignant phenotype, and has the potential in developing therapeutically valuable targets that improve the di…
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have recently been shown to exert effects on multiple pathological processes by acting as miRNA sponges. However, the roles of circRNAs in ovarian senescence are largely unknown. The objective of this study was to i…
AimsTo investigate the roles of Lats1/p-YAP1 pathway in TBI-induced neuronal apoptosis and neurological deficits in rats.ResultsWe found that Lats1 and YAP1 were expressed in cerebral cortex neurons of Sprague-Dawley rats, and the phosphory…
ObjectiveThe aim of the study was to investigate the prognostic role of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio in ovarian cancer. Growing number of articles reported the relationship between neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and prognosis in ovarian c…
The quality and the efficacy of herbal medicine are of great concern especially with the increase in their global use. Medicinal plants of different species or collected from different geographical regions have shown variations in both thei…
The present study aimed to elucidate the roles and possible molecular mechanisms of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) urothelial carcinoma associated 1 (UCA1) in neuronal pheochromocytoma (PC)-12 cells under hypoxic conditions. The neuronal PC-12…
BackgroundMost cervical cancer patients worldwide receive surgical treatments, and yet the current International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging system do not consider surgical-pathologic data. We propose a more compr…
BackgroundClinical ovulation induction induces blood estrogen (E2) in excess of physiological levels, which can hinder uterine receptivity. In contrast, progesterone produces the opposite clinical effect, suggesting that it might be capable…
Ethnopharmacological relevanceFerulic acid (FA), ligustrazine (LZ) and tetrahydropalmatine (THP) are separately isolated from Chinese Angelica, Szechwan Lovage Rhizome and Rhizoma in the Jiawei-Foshou-San formula, a popular traditional Chin…
Primary leiomyoma of the pleura is extremely rare. A 45-year-old man presented with a complaint of right chest pain. Chest computed tomography demonstrated a solid, round pleural mass in the right anterior chest wall. The mass was completel…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect and mechanism of Jiawei Foshou San on the accretion ectopic endometrium of rats. METHOD: Endometriosis model was established by surgical implant of endometrial tissue which belongs to its body in rats. Jiawe…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of Sanlengwan (SLW) on adhesion molecules expression and the accretion in ectopic endometrium of rats. METHOD: Endometriosis was established by surgical implant of endometrial tissue which belong to its body…
