OBJECTIVE: To determine the potential diagnostic markers and extent of immune cell infiltration in endometriosis (EMS). METHODS: Two published profiles (GSE7305 and GSE25628 datasets) were downloaded, and the candidate biomarkers were iden…

BACKGROUND: The role of excess androgen in ovarian reserve remains unclear in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Our study highlights the associations of serum androgen levels and ovarian reserve markers in PCOS and non-PCOS wo…

BACKGROUND: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with normal karyotype (NK-AML) have significant variabilities in outcomes. The European Leukemia Net stratification system and some prognostic models have been used to evaluate risk stratifi…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common benign gynecological disease characterized by growing-functioning endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Extra-pelvic endometriosis, which accounts for approximately 12% of endometriosis, is more challe…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the clinical value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combined with ultrasound-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (USg-HIFU) for the diagnosis and treatment of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE)…

Diagnosis of pelvic gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) can be challenging because of their nonspecific presentation and similarity to gynecological neoplasms. In this series, we describe the clinicopathological features of 20 GIST case…

ObjectivesIdentify genetic loci of enhanced susceptibility to Chlamydial trachomatis (Ct) upper genital tract infection in women.MethodsWe performed an integrated analysis of DNA genotypes and blood-derived mRNA profiles from 200 Ct-exposed…

BACKGROUND: Low-grade chronic inflammation may contribute to the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Interleukin-15 (IL-15) is a proinflammatory cytokine involved in the development of chronic inflammation leading to obesity-a…

INTRODUCTION: Ovarian endometriosis is a frequently occurring gynecological disease with large socioeconomic impact. Accumulating evidence has suggested that aberrant miRNA-mRNA interactions are involved in the pathogenesis and progression …

BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common digestive tract malignancy with rising incidence and morbidity worldwide during recent years. Yi-Yi-Fu-Zi-Bai-Jiang-San (YYFZBJS), a traditional Chinese medicine formula, has showed positive e…

BACKGROUND: Luteinizing hormone (LH) can stimulate mural granulosa cells to produce Amphiregulin (AREG), which can induce the resumption of meiosis in oocytes. Theca cells are present in the outer layer of follicles, providing communication…

The prevalence of malignant transformation of endometriotic lesions is estimated between 0.3% and 1%. Malignant transformations of endometriosis occur in the colorectum is rarer, accounting for 0.25%. Because the malignant transformation of…

The presence of microbial communities in the reproductive tract has been revealed, and this resident microbiota is involved in the maintenance of health. Intentional modulation via probiotics has been proposed as a possible strategy to enha…

PURPOSE: Traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) induces a powerful inflammatory response that can significantly exacerbate the extent and severity of neural damage (termed as "secondary injury"). Thus, the suppression of inflammation is crucia…

Women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) have reduced fertility, but the underlying regulation of ovarian function remains unknown. Although differential microRNA (miRNA) expression has been described in several ovarian disorders, little…

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the fastest-growing neurological disease in the world. A key challenge in PD is tracking disease severity, progression, and medication response. Existing methods are semisubjective and require visiting the clinic…

The literature indicates that mesonephric carcinoma (MC) and mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) typically lack mucinous and squamous features/differentiation. We report 4 cases of ovarian mucinous tumors (1 mucinous cystadenofibroma and …

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent chemical modification in eukaryotic messenger RNAs. By participating in various RNA-related bioprocesses including RNA decay, splicing, transport and translation, m6A serves as a pivotal regula…

BACKGROUND: Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing protein 1 (NOD1) is known to play an important role in innate immunity, while the relationship between NOD1 and inflammatory response in endometriosis remains unknown. The pre…

The local Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS) has been demonstrated to exist in a wide range of tissues and organs, In the female reproductive system, it is mainly found in the ovary, uterus and placenta. The RAS system is made up of a series of…

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous endocrinological and metabolic disorder which is the common cause of female infertility. The dysmetabolism displayed in it has not been completely ascertained. Metabonomics may…

Early diagnosis of cancer is crucial to initiate prompt treatment for better patient outcomes. The host immune function and its associated modulators are considered to be potential biomarkers for early cancer diagnosis. Immune and immune-ch…

Preterm labor (before 37 weeks' gestation) is the leading cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity, which can be divided into iatrogenic preterm labor, infectious preterm labor, and spontaneous preterm labor (sPTL). Up to now, there contin…

Abstract Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic inflammatory disease, affecting 10% of women and girls of reproductive ages around the globe. Pyroptosis ,a type of pro-inflammatory programmed cell death (PCD), has been associated with EM in recent…
