Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common disorder with significant hospital admission and mortality. Due to the unclarified pathological mechanism, there is still no effective and specific treatment for AP. Recently, autophagy has been found to …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a refractory and recurrent disease and it affects nearly 10% of reproductive-aged women and 40% of infertile patients. The commonly accepted theory for endometriosis is retrograde menstruation where endometrial …

ObjectivesTo evaluate International Endometrial Tumor Analysis (IETA) ultrasonographic characteristics simple scoring method and tumor biomarkers for the diagnosis of uterine cavity and endometrial lesions.MethodsWe classified and scored th…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis-associated pain can be considered a type of neuropathic pain. Netrin-1 is an axon guidance cue that regulates axonal attraction or rejection in neural injury and regeneration. However, whether netrin-1 plays a role…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent gynecological disease. The pathogenesis of endometriosis remains controversial, although it is generally accepted that the inflammatory immune response plays a crucial role in this process. Mast cells …

Ovarian cancer is one of the most aggressive and highly lethal gynecological cancers. The purpose of our study is to build a free prognostic web server to help researchers discover potential prognostic biomarkers by integrating gene express…

BackgroundThere is increasing global concern regarding the health impacts of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are emerging environmental endocrine disruptors. Results from previous epidemiological studies on the a…

Endometriosis is a benign, chronic inflammatory disease that commonly occurs in reproductive-aged women. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of endometrial epithelial cells plays an important role in the development of endometriosis. Re…

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a well-known angiogenic factor that plays a critical role in various physiological and pathological processes. VEGF also contributes to the process of embryo implantation by enhancing embryo deve…

BACKGROUND: To explore the effects of microRNA (miR)-27b-3p-mediated homeobox A10 (HOXA10) on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of endometriosis cells (hEM15A). METHODS: First, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was perf…

Abstract BackgroundEndometriosis is a refractory and recurrent disease and it affects nearly 10% of reproductive-aged women and 40% of infertile patients. The commonly accepted theory for endometriosis is retrograde menstruation where endo…

STUDY QUESTION: Does P2X ligand-gated ion channel 3 (P2X3) play a role in endometriosis pain? SUMMARY ANSWER: Upregulation of P2X3 in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) tissues via the activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3)/activator protein (AP)-…

Isoquinoline alkaloids, an important class of N-based heterocyclic compounds, have attracted considerable attention from researchers worldwide since the early 19th century. Over the past 200 years, many compounds from this class were isolat…

CONTEXT: Enhanced levels of catecholestradiols, 2-hydroxyestradiol (2-OHE2) or 4-hydroxyestradiol (4-OHE2), are reported in endometriosis. During gestation, catecholestradiol activation of adrenergic receptors (AR) elevates estrogen recepto…

BackgroundLong non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can play important roles in uterine and ovarian functions. However, little researches have been done on the role of lncRNAs in the adrenal gland of sheep. Herein, RNA sequencing was used to compare a…

Netrin-1 is an extracellular guidance cue of neuronal navigation, mediated through interaction with its main receptors, and is known to be crucial in the development of multiple chronic inflammatory diseases. However, the expression pattern…

BackgroundThe well-known traditional Chinese herbal formula Guizhi Fuling Wan (GFW) was recently reported to improve the curative effects of chemotherapy for ovarian cancer with few clinical side effects. The present study aimed to investig…

The density and the activity of mast cells are associated with endometriosis. However, the role of mast cells on the pathogenesis of endometriosis remains unclear. Our study aims to investigate whether endometrial cells interact with mast c…

Background: Adenomyosis is a quite common gynecological disorder and above 30% of patients have typical secondary and progressive dysmenorrhea. Current treatments still have many disadvantages and thereby the novel treatment aiming to relie…

Adenomyosis is also called internal endometriosis and affects about 20% of reproductive-aged women. It seriously reduces life quality of patients because current drug therapies face with numerous challenges. Long-term clinical application o…

BackgroundThe serum tumor markers has been widely used in ovarian cancer diagnosis. BRCA1/2 germline mutations are the most common predisposing factors for ovarian cancer development. This study aimed to comprehensively investigate serum tu…

Prenatal testosterone (T)-treated sheep, similar to women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), manifest oligo-/anovulation, hyperandrogenism, and polyfollicular ovary. The polyfollicular ovarian morphology, a result of persistence of antr…

Abstract Background: Endometriosis is a common disease in reproductive-age women and usually causes pelvic pain. Endometriosis pain is considered as a kind of neuropathic pain and infiltrating nerve fiber in endometriotic lesions may play a…
