BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disease in women of reproductive age. Multiple studies have shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) and microRNAs (miRNA) play a role in PCOS. This study aimed to explore t…
BACKGROUND: Precise prediction of drug combination targeting tumor cells effectively is a crucial challenge for tumor therapy, especially for endometrial cancer (EC). Considering the resistance, crosstalk that occurs between the receptor ty…
Abstract Background: To present the experience of surgical management of ureteral endometriosis (UE) in our single center. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 40 cases of UE who had intraoperative surgical findings of endometriosis involvi…
INTRODUCTION: Perioperative infections may be considered predictors of caesarean scar defect (CSD), and multidose antibiotics have a protective effect against CSD. However, the ability of adjunctive azithromycin combined with cephalosporin …
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the clinicopathological features and prognostic value of endometriosis in young patients with ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (OEC) and ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC). METHODS: The medical files and clinical …
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors associated with progress-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with high-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (HG-ESS). PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 40 pati…
PURPOSE: To develop a comprehensive genetic test for female and male infertility in support of medical decisions during assisted reproductive technology (ART) protocols. METHODS: We developed a next-generation sequencing (NGS) gene panel c…
BACKGROUND: Angiogenin (ANG) is a multifunctional angiogenic protein that participates in both normal development and diseases. Abnormal serum ANG levels are commonly reported in various diseases. However, whether ANG can serve as a diagnos…
BACKGROUND: Previous studies examining associations between subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) with in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcome indicate some benefits of levothyroxine (LT4) treatment. But IVF outcomes in treated SCH women whose seru…
OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is a disease that occurs in women. Thrombin-activated fibrinolytic inhibitor (TAFI) is mainly secreted by stem cells and acts as a regulatory role in the body. Epithelial leaf transition plays a leading role in cell…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of DNA methylation in the regulation of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) gene expression in endometriosis. METHODS: MMP-9 gene methylation status in eutopic and ectopic endometria were analyzed by methy…
Alveolar macrophages (AMs) obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) are commonly used to study lung macrophage-mediated immune responses. Questions remain, however, about whether AMs fully represent macrophage function in the lung. This stu…
Published data on the association between the glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) gene polymorphisms and endometriosis risk are inconclusive. We performed a meta-analysis to clarify the association of GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms and endomet…
We recently described the expression of ebaf, a novel member of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily in human endometrium. ebaf messenger ribonucleic acid was expressed in late secretory and menstrual endometria. Here, we show th…
