A 42-year-old female was hospitalized with 2-day history of fever, dyspnea, and chest tightness. Four years ago, she had similar symptoms at the eighth week of gestation. Computed tomography coronary angiography only suggested moderate sten…

Ovarian aging leads to menopause, loss of fertility and other disorders in multiple organs, which brings great distress to women. For ethical reasons, it is impossible to use humans as direct study subjects for aging research. Therefore, bi…

In some cases of spontaneous miscarriage (SM), the exact etiology cannot be determined. Autophagy, which is responsible for cellular survival under stress conditions, has also been implicated in many diseases. Recently, it is also surmised …

The vagina contains at least a billion microbial cells, dominated by lactobacilli. Here we perform metagenomic shotgun sequencing on cervical and fecal samples from a cohort of 516 Chinese women of reproductive age, as well as cervical, fec…

The pathogenesis of preeclampsia (PE) is complex and placental internal homeostasis is regulated by cellular autophagy. However, there are fewer studies related to the role of placental autophagy in the pathogenesis of PE. The GSE75010 and …

Adenosarcoma is a rare type of tumor with a mixture of epithelial and stromal components and often occurs in the female reproductive system. Primary hepatic adenosarcoma (PHAS) is extremely rare, with only two cases reported so far. Both pa…

The Wenshenyang recipe (WSYR) has the effect of treating infertility, but the mechanisms underlying this activity have not been fully elucidated. In this study, network pharmacology and RNA sequencing were combined, with database-based "dry…

BackgroundThin endometrium negatively impacts the reproductive function. Current treatments for thin endometrium do not always improve endometrial receptivity. Preliminary evidence suggests that electroacupuncture could have potential thera…

Deficiency in decidualization has been widely regarded as an important cause of spontaneous abortion. Generalized decidualization also includes massive infiltration and enrichment of NK cells. However, the underlying mechanism of decidual N…

BackgroundThe worldwide impact of COVID-19 has reached all spheres of human health. Individuals may also experience unique changes in their sexual behaviors during the COVID-19 self-isolation/social distancing period. Studies in many countr…

ObjectiveTo explore the expression and clinical significance of Gal-3 and NFκB pathway related factors in epithelial ovarian carcinoma cells.Methods99 histologic specimens of epithelial ovarian cancer and 20 normal ovarian histologic specim…

Ovarian cancer (OC) is most common type of gynecologic cancer and is frequently lethal. It is important to determine the pathologic mechanisms underlying OC. ZNF93 is a member of the zinc finger protein family. Abnormal expression of ZNF93 …

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the pathogenesis of endometriosis (EMs) and to investigate the role of antioxidant therapy on autophagy and the outcome of EM…

BackgroundChinese mothers of preterm infants often face obstacles to breastfeeding and commonly experience prolonged maternal-infant separation when their high-risk infants are hospitalized in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). This sep…

UNLABELLED: Impaired NK cell cytotoxic activity contributes to the local dysfunctional immune environment in endometriosis (EMS), which is an estrogen-dependent gynecological disease that affects the function of ectopic endometrial tissue c…

PurposeTo elucidate the role of retinoic acid (RA) in autophagy-mediated endometriosis.MethodsThe mRNA and protein expressions of autophagy markers were examined in Ishikawa cells and endometriotic stromal cells (ESCs) after RA treatment. B…

Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is a common health problem that affects women of reproductive age. Recent studies have indicated that microRNAs are important factors in miscarriage. This study investigated the role of miR-16 in regulat…

BackgroundOccult invasive cervical cancer discovered after simple hysterectomy is not common, radical parametrectomy (RP) is a preferred option for young women. However, the morbidity of RP was high. The aim of our study is to assess the in…

Angiogenesis is an important pathogenesis of Endometriosis. Vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C) is one of the most important factor in the regulation of both normal and abnormal angiogenesis. Anti-angiogenic treatment of endometri…

OBJECTIVE: To study the effectiveness and safety of combined laparoscopy and gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) in the treatment of endometriosis (EM). METHODS: From January to December 2010, 198 patients with EM undergoing tre…

HOXA10 is an important gene for endometrial receptivity and plays a regulatory role in the adult female reproductive tract. It is regulated by epigenetic modulation in the CpG clusters of promoter in some cases. The aim of this study was to…

The forkhead box O (FoxO) transcription factors are known to be involved in many physiological and pathological processes including apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, stress resistance, glucose metabolism, cellular differentiation and developmen…
