Mass cadmium (Cd) poisoning is a serious health problem in many parts of the world. We propose that dietary intervention can be a practical solution to this problem. This study aimed to identify effective dietary products from traditional C…

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…

The vaginal microbiota dysbiosis is closely associated with the development of reproductive diseases. However, the contribution of mycobiome to intrauterine adhesion (IUA) disease remains unknown. Harnessing 16S and ITS2 rDNA sequencing ana…

BackgroundPrevious research revealed antibodies targeting Chlamydia trachomatis elementary bodies was not associated with reduced endometrial or incident infection in C. trachomatis-exposed women. However, data on the role of C. trachomatis…

BackgroundProgress has been achieved by using acupuncture widely for poor endometrial receptivity (PER). However, different acupuncture dosages may lead to controversy over efficacy.ObjectiveTo evaluate the evidence-based conclusions of dos…

BackgroundRecurrent implantation failure (RIF), a clinical disorder characterized by failure to achieve pregnancy after repeated (≥3) embryo transfer, is a challenge for reproductive demands worldwide. In our preliminary work, the Zhuyun fo…

Background and objectiveCancer is an important disease and can occur anywhere in the body. It is caused by uncontrolled cell growth that spreads to other body parts. This study extensively investigated the transmembrane receptor tissue fact…

Endometrioma (OMA) is the most common subtype of endometriosis, in which the endometriotic lesions are implanted in the ovary. Women with OMA are usually associated with infertility, presenting with reduced ovarian reserve, low oocyte quant…

Abstract Objective: polypoid endometriosis (PEM) is a rare type of endometriosis (EMs), which is easy to be misdiagnosed. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the clinical features and diagnostic methods of PEM. Methods: The clinical…

BackgroundInterleukin-1 receptor type II (IL-1R2), also known as CD121b, is a member of the IL-1 receptor family. IL-1R2 acts as negative regulator of the IL-1 system, modulating IL-1 availability for the signaling receptor. IL-1R2 is abnor…

BackgroundThe composition of pelvic masses during pregnancy is complex, and over >70% of masses are physiology. Determining the source and nature of tumor tissue is incredibly important in clinical practice, as the proportion of metastatic …

We have previously found that TdT-interacting factor 1 (TdIF1) is a potential oncogene expressed in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and is associated with poor prognosis. However, its exact mechanism is still unclear. The lysine-specific…

IntroductionSurvivors of acute pancreatitis (AP) have shorter overall survival and increased incidence of new-onset cardiovascular, respiratory, liver and renal disease, diabetes mellitus and cancer compared with the general population, but…

Abstract Background: To study which characteristics of a pre-oocyte-retrieval patient can affect the pregnancy outcomes of emergency oocyte freeze-thaw cycles. Methods: Nomogram model performance was assessed by examining the discriminatio…

This study aimed to investigate the clinical factors affecting pregnancy rates following the surgical removal of intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) and subsequent in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). We retrospectively evaluated …

Patients who undergo several in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment cycles and fail to conceive present a frustrating problem to the clinician. When 1 cycle of IVF treatment fails, should we offer the couples to choose additional cycle of I…

Long noncoding RNAs have been widely accepted to play important roles in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The dysregulation of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2B antisense RNA 1 (ANRIL) was discovered in AMI patients. Nevertheless, the …

BACKGROUND Refractory abdominal pain during menstruation severely affects patients' quality of life and simultaneously places enormous psychological burdens on patients and their families. Several treatments for secondary dysmenorrhea are a…

Sexually transmitted infection (STI) of the upper reproductive tract can result in inflammation and infertility. A biomarker of STI-induced upper tract inflammation would be significant as many women are asymptomatic and delayed treatment i…
