OBJECTIVES: Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease that seriously affects women's health and quality of life. However, the pathogenesis of endometriosis remains uncertain. This study aims to find the key microRNAs (miRNAs) and mRNA…

As an important part of the human intestinal microecology, the intestinal flora is involved in a number of physiological functions of the host. Several studies have shown that imbalance of intestinal flora and its regulation of the intestin…

BackgroundRecent studies have revealed that women with infertility have a higher risk of thyroid cancer (TC) than fertile women. However, studies on whether a history of thyroid cancer affects clinical outcomes in women who conceive using i…

Background: Chromosome 19 open reading frame 10 (C19orf10) is a myocardial repair mediator overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma. However, its function and clinical value in bladder cancer (BC) have not been reported. This study aimed t…

Increasing evidence has revealed a close relationship between non-coding RNAs and recurrent implantation failure (RIF). However, the role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in RIF pathogenesis remains largely unknown. Microarray analyses were used…

PurposeWe investigated the effect of different surgical procedures and radioactive iodine treatment (RAIT) on in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) outcomes and evaluated whether possible risk factors, including…

ObjectiveTo assess whether women of advanced age (≥35 years) with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have the same cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) as their age-matched controls with tubal factor infertility and to determine the influencing …

BackgroundInflammasome-mediated neuroinflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of early brain injury (EBI) following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The activation of the TGR5 receptor has been shown to be neuroprotective in a…

ObjectiveTo evaluate the value of routine preoperative gastroscopy/colonoscopy in patients with suspected ovarian cancer for differential diagnosis and judgment of bowel resection.MethodsAll women diagnosed with suspected ovarian cancer who…

BackgroundThin 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 o…

Disrupted follicular development may result in increased follicular atresia, which is a crucial mechanism of various ovarian pathologies. It has been demonstrated that oxidative stress is associated with disrupted follicular development. Ca…

BackgroundChromosomal 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 p…

AimEndometriosis is associated with infertility. The aim of this study was to examine the overall proteomic changes of eutopic endometrium in infertile women with endometriosis.MethodsTandem mass tags combined with multidimensional liquid c…

Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) are a class of structurally diverse compounds, which have been extensively used to treat hormone-responsive cancers due to their unique partially agonistic and antagonistic properties toward es…

BackgroundThe highly conservative miR-15/107 family (also named as miR-15/107 gene group) including ten miRNA members is currently recognized strongly implicated in multiple human disorders. Some studies focus on the entire family rather th…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease that is characterized by pelvic pain and infertility. MicroRNAs have been shown to implicate in the progression of endometriosis. In our study, we used real-time PCR to evaluate the expression …

MicroRNAs (miRNA/miRs) have been demonstrated to be critical post‑transcriptional modulators of gene expression during tumorigenesis. Numerous miRNAs have been revealed to be downregulated in human epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). In the pr…

BackgroundWomen with vanishing twin syndrome are associated with increased risks of adverse neonatal outcomes, such as preterm birth (PTB) and low birthweight (LBW), compared with those in singleton live births following single embryo trans…

Gallbladder cancer represents the most common malignancy of the biliary tract and is highly lethal with less than 5% overall 5-year survival rate. Chemotherapy remains the major treatment for late-stage patients. However, insensitivity to t…

Low progesterone levels are associated with luteal phase deficiency in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The mechanisms regulating progesterone biosynthesis in the granulosa cells from women with PCOS is largely unknown. Fractalk…

Objective. Women with infertility and recurrent miscarriages may have an overlapping etiology. The aim of this study was to compare the pregnancy loss in pregnancies after IVF treatment with spontaneous pregnancies in women with recurrent m…

BackgroundThe 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 tech…

ObjectiveTo investigate whether abnormal expression of Musashi-1 occurs in eutopic and ectopic endometria from patients with adenomyosis and whether it is correlated with serum estradiol or progesterone levels.Study designMusashi-1 expressi…

BackgroundRecent evidence from rodent ovaries has demonstrated expression of fractalkine and the existence of fractalkine receptor, and showed that there is a significant increase in steroidogenesis in response to fractalkine, yet the role …

Genetic screens are powerful methods for the discovery of gene-phenotype associations. However, a systems biology approach to genetics must leverage the massive amount of "omics" data to enhance the power and speed of functional gene discov…
