BACKGROUND: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common inflammatory disease of the pancreas accompanied by serious metabolic disturbances. Nevertheless, the specific metabolic process of this disease is still unclear. Characterization of the metab…

Liver cancer is one of the most lethal cancers, but our knowledge of the molecular mechanism underlying this process remains insufficient. Through deep sequencing and expression regulation analysis in liver cancer cells, we identified two n…

BACKGROUND: Recently, a relationship between recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and Apolipoprotein E (Apo E) gene polymorphisms has been proposed. In order to investigate the real association between Apo E polymorphisms and RPL, our meta-analys…

Metabolic disorders including type 2 diabetes, obesity and hypertension have growing prevalence globally every year. Genome-wide association studies have successfully identified many genetic markers associated to these diseases, but few stu…

Preeclampsia (PE) is an excessive systemic inflammation response with dysfunction of endothelial. Our study was to investigate the association between genetic variations in IL-1 and the susceptibility to PE in Chinese Han population. 402 PE…

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine, which may affect nearly 60% of women in reproductive age. Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) defined as an endometriotic lesion penetrating into the retr…

Syncytin-1 plays a critical role in the maintenance of normal pregnancy by mediating the formation of syncytiotrophoblasts through a fosugenic action. Encoded by the human endogenous retrovirus envelope gene HERV-W, syncytin-1 trophoblast-s…

AIM: To investigate the associations of interleukin-17 (IL-17) genetic polymorphisms and serum levels with ulcerative colitis (UC) risk. METHODS: Relevant articles were identified through a search of the following electronic databases, exc…

PIK3R1 (p85α regulatory subunit of PI3K) is frequently mutated across cancer lineages. Herein, we demonstrate that the most common recurrent PIK3R1 mutation PIK3R1(R348∗) and a nearby mutation PIK3R1(L370fs), in contrast to wild-type and mu…

BACKGROUND: The in vitro fertilization (IVF) technique is commonly used and is the only treatment option for a proportion of infertile couples. To obtain better outcomes of IVF, it is important to enhance embryo quality by optimizing IVF te…

Synchronous primary endometrial and ovarian cancers are uncommon. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinicopathological characteristics, treatment and prognosis of synchronous primary endometrial and ovarian cancers. The clinico…

BACKGROUND: Several peripheral proteins that might be useful for detecting the presence of ectopic pregnancy (EP) have been evaluated, but none have been proven entirely useful in the clinic. We investigated the presence and the possible ch…

Most psychiatric disorders are moderately to highly heritable. The degree to which genetic variation is unique to individual disorders or shared across disorders is unclear. To examine shared genetic etiology, we use genome-wide genotype da…

BACKGROUND: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by cytoreduction surgery has been used where an accurate cytologic or pathologic diagnosis is usually required before the initiation of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. However, it is difficult to make…

A relationship between endometriosis and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene polymorphisms has been raised for Asians. However, this topic is controversial. This study was a meta-analysis to explore whether TNF-α/IL-…

Aim. To compare the basic endocrine profile and outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), ovulatory polycystic ovaries (PCO), or normal ovaries (NO). Methods. The basic clinical features and in…

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of surgical intervention on the expression of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and L-selectin ligand in the endometrium of patients with hydrosalpinx during the implantation window. A tota…

Recent morphologic and molecular genetic studies have led to a paradigm shift in our conceptualization of the carcinogenesis and histogenesis of pelvic (non-uterine) serous carcinomas. It appears that both low-grade and high-grade pelvic se…

Adenomyosis is a common estrogen-dependent disorder of females characterized by a downward extension of the endometrium into the uterine myometrium and neovascularization in ectopic lesions. It accounts for chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of antithyroid antibody on pregnancy outcome following the in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). METHODS: A total of 90 patients (156 cycles) positive for antithyroid antibody (ATA+ group…

To investigate the clinical importance of increased integrin αvβ3 expression in the endometrium following the surgical treatment for hydrosalpinx, a total of 60 patients with hydrosalpinx and 30 patients with fallopian tube obstruction were…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of the anti-oncogene ARHI in the endometriotic tissue and explore its clinical significance. METHODS: A semiquantitative analysis of the expression of ARHI mRNA and protein in the ectopic and eutopi…

RATIONALE: Orai1 and the associated calcium release-activated calcium (CRAC) channel were discovered in the immune system. Existence also in endothelial cells has been suggested, but the relevance to endothelial biology is mostly unknown. …

Objective Using ultrasound-guided radio-frequency ablation on dysfunctional uterine bleeding,discuss the clinical value of micro-invasive method in the treatment of dysfunctional uterine bleeding.Methods Uterus longitudinal cross sections w…

OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical therapeutic effect of acupuncture combined with acupoint sticking therapy for treatment of dysmenorrhea caused by endometriosis, and to probe into the best therapy for this kind of disease. METHODS: Seven…
