BACKGROUND: Uterine leiomyomata (UL) and endometriosis (EM) are common gynecological diseases damaging the reproductive health of fertile women. Among all the potential factors, environmental endocrine-disrupting chemicals are insufficientl…
Intercellular communication in the decidua plays important roles in relaying information between the maternal and fetal systems in the maintenance of pregnancy and the transition to labor. To date, several studies have explored cell-cell co…
OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic disease. The abnormal proliferation and invasion of ectopic stromal cells (ESCs) are important manifestations of endometriosis, and it is necessary to find safer and more effective t…
Tobacco can induce reactive oxygen species (ROS) production extensively in cells, which is a major risk factor for oral leukoplakia (OLK) development. Peroxiredoxin 1 (Prx1) is a key antioxidant protein, upregulated in a variety of malignan…
Follicular atresia is one of the main factors limiting the reproductive power of domestic animals. At present, the molecular mechanisms involved in porcine follicular atresia at the metabolic level remain unclear. In this study, we divided …
OBJECTIVE: Concern regarding the adverse impact of pretreatment of oral contraceptives (OC) prior to ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilization (IVF) on pregnancy outcome has been debated. We investigated factors that may be associated …
Proteins and peptides (PPs) have gradually become more attractive therapeutic molecules than small molecular drugs due to their high selectivity and efficacy, but fewer side effects. Owing to the poor stability and limited permeability thro…
Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), one of the most common endocrine diseases in women of childbearing age, has been found to be accompanied by changes in the gut microbiota. The Bu Shen Yang Xue formula (BSYXF) is a traditional C…
Embryo implantation rate remains an inefficient process in in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) cycles. The role long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) plays in embryo implantation remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the expressio…
Abstract Background: To present the experience of surgical management of ureteral endometriosis (UE) in our single center. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 40 cases of UE who had intraoperative surgical findings of endometriosis involvi…
Objective: To evaluate the incidence of deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) among patients of pelvic endometriosis confirmed by pathology and to make analysis of its clinical and pathological characteristics. Methods: From January 1, 20…
Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease in which ovarian dysfunction can be an important cause of infertility. Elevated progesterone (P4) levels during the follicular phase is possibly associated with impaired oocyte quality and pre…
BACKGROUND: We aim to assess the long-term efficacy of transvaginal high uterosacral ligament suspension (HUS) procedure for middle compartment defect-based pelvic organ prolapse (POP). METHODS: We performed a retrospective review of 84 wo…
BackgroundPeriampullary tumors (PT) may rarely present as acute pancreatitis (AP) or acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP). Unlike other cases of AP and ARP, these conditions necessitate pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), and timely diagnosis is cr…
BACKGROUND: Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge) and its main active component Tanshinone IIA (TSA) are clinically used in China. However, the effects of TSA on acute pancreatitis (AP) and its potential mechanism have not been investigated. …
Osteosarcoma is a common primary bone cancer that there are currently no effective treatment strategies for. Forkhead box M1 (FoxM1) is key in the development of osteosarcoma, and microRNA (miR)-216b serves an antitumor role by targeting Fo…
Background: Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F can cause adverse effects (AEs) in clinical application and may be harmful to human health. This study aim to summarize the AEs caused by T. wilfordii tgpolyglycoside (TWP), the most common preparat…
Objective: To measure the uterine volume by ultrasonic imaging in nullipara patients with endometriosis and analyze its clinical significance. Methods: From July 1st, 2016 to August 1st, 2017, 107 cases of nullipara patients with endometrio…

The present study aimed to investigate and compare the analgesic effect and safety of ropivacaine or levobupivacaine in combined spinal-epidural anesthesia during childbirth and their effects on neonatal Apgar scores, as well as maternal an…
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified >250 loci for body mass index (BMI), implicating pathways related to neuronal biology. Most GWAS loci represent clusters of common, noncoding variants from which pinpointing causal gene…
