Background: Endometriosis (EMS) is an estrogen-dependent disease in which endometrial glands and stroma arise outside the uterus. Current studies have suggested that the number and function of immune cells are abnormal in the abdominal flui…
Recent studies have shown that PPP1R14B was highly expressed in tumor tissues and patients with high expression of PPP1R14B had poor survival rates. However, the function and mechanisms of PPP1R14B in tumor progression remain ill defined. T…
Nuclear small RNAs have emerged as an important subset of non-coding RNA species that are capable of regulating gene expression. A type of small RNA, microRNA (miRNA) have been shown to regulate development of the ovarian follicle via canon…
Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is one of the major types of ovarian cancer and is of higher relative prevalence in Asians. It also shows higher possibility of resistance to cisplatin-based chemotherapy leading to poor prognosis. This m…
BACKGROUND: Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is a prodrug of a nucleotide analogue. As an antiviral drug, TDF has been proposed in the first-line treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Qingzhong, a brand name of TDF, commercialized by J…
This study investigates the effect of 2 laparoscopic methods on ovarian reserve in patients of reproductive age with endometriomas.This was a retrospective study performed at a tertiary medical center from Jan 1st to Dec 31st, 2016. Laparos…
Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is characterized by pancreatic/peripancreatic inflammation. Involvement of renal capsule refers to peripancreatic inflammation extending beyond the Gerota fascia and disappearance of renal rim sign (+) on…
BACKGROUND: Given the high numbers of recent cases related to Endometriosis, acupuncture has become a first line of treatment to alleviate the discomfort caused by endometriosis. Numerous studies have reported that acupuncture has a distinc…
BACKGROUND: Thin endometrial thickness (EMT) has been suggested to be associated with reduced incidence of pregnancy rate after in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) treatment, but the effect of thin endometrium…
tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs), which are non-coding RNAs produced via tRNA cleavage with lengths of 14 to 50 nucleotides, originate from precursor tRNAs or mature tRNAs and exist in a wide range of organisms. tRFs are produced not by random…
BACKGROUND: Unresponsive thin endometrium caused by Asherman syndrome (AS) is the major cause of uterine infertility. However, current therapies are ineffective. This study is to evaluate the effect of transplantation with collagen scaffold…
Abstract Objective To assess the changes of blood flow in adenomyosis after higher-dose oxytocin(OT) in different doses,and to evaluate the safety for patients. Methods A total of 124 patients with adenomyosis were randomly divided into …
BACKGROUND: Idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias (IVAs) can originate from the distal great cardiac vein (DGCV). However, inadequate distinction sometimes occurs when electrocardiographic (ECG) characteristics are used to distinguish ventricu…
Embryo implantation rate remains an inefficient process in in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) cycles. The role long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) plays in embryo implantation remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the expressio…
Aim: To explore the circular RNA (circRNA) profile in cumulus cells from endometriosis-associated infertility patients. Methods: The expression of circRNAs was profiled by high-throughput sequencing. Sanger sequencing was performed to ident…
BACKGROUND: Chromosomal inversion was considered to have adverse effects on pregnancy outcomes through abnormal gametogenesis. The purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate whether preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) improves…
Endometriosis is widely associated with infertility in women of childbearing age, for which there have been no effective treatments. Recent studies suggest that the dysregulation of RNAs contributes to the pathogenesis of endometriosis, so …
BACKGROUND: Decidualization of ectopic endometrium often leads to the extensive proliferation of local tissue and is easily misdiagnosed as malignant tumors. The study is aimed at constructing a microRNA- (miRNA-) mRNA network underlying de…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMT) is a common occurrence in women of reproductive age. Since oxidative stress has been associated with the development and/or progression of the disease, the present study was conducted to detect the expression…
BACKGROUND: Yuzhi Zhixue Granule (YZG) is a traditional Chinese patent medicine for treating excessive menstrual flow caused by ovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding (ODUB) accompanied by heat syndrome. However, the underlying molecular …
BACKGROUND: Many studies have demonstrated the benefits of the addition of growth hormone (GH) to the controlled ovarian stimulation protocol in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles in poor-respond patients, but the effect of GH on patients wit…
Object: Is it possible to use different progestins cotreatment with human menopausal gonadotrophin (hMG) in women with advanced endometriosis but normal ovulation during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) in vitro fertilization (IVF)…
Aims: Protein tyrosine phosphatase Src-homology-2-domain-containing phosphatase 2 (SHP2) and adaptor protein Grb2-associated binding protein 2 (GAB2) can bind to each other in various signal transduction. However, the expression of SHP2 and…
BACKGROUND: Mixed gestational trophoblastic neoplasms are extremely rare and comprise a group of fetal trophoblastic tumors including choriocarcinomas, epithelioid trophoblastic tumors, and placental site trophoblastic tumors. We present a …
BACKGROUND: Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is a common complication in women undergoing assisted reproductive treatment, but the underlying causes for this remain unclear. This study aimed to explore factors affecting the incidence of EP in in vitr…
