The prospective study including 166 participants aims to evaluate the association between seminal prosaposin and the outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles in humans. The generalized linear model (GLM) was used to analyze the assoc…
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the long-term efficacy of segmental bowel resection for bowel endometriosis and the impact of post-operative complications on clinical outcomes.Methods: 62 symptomatic patients with bowel endometriosis undergoi…
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer death in the world. Inhibitor of differentiation 1 (Id1) is overexpressed in NSCLC and involved in promoting its progression and metastasis. Identifying natural compounds tar…
RATIONALE: Uterus-like masses (ULMs) are rare benign lesions that resemble the uterus. PATIENT CONCERNS: Here, we describe the case of a woman with a ULM in the right broad ligament. A 51-year-old woman with a 2-month history of irregular v…
Adenomyosis is a common chronic gynecological disorder with some tumor-like properties, including aberrant proliferation, invasion and migration. Berberine (BBR) is an isoquinoline derivative alkaloid with diverse pharmacological activities…
PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate whether individual response of anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) treatment is associated with difference in ovarian stimulation outcomes.MethodsThe retro…
Magnetic resonance imaging exhibits high sensitivity but low specificity for breast cancer. The present study aimed to investigate whether combining morphology, texture features and kinetic features with diffusion-weighted imaging using qua…
BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age and is commonly complicated by adverse endometrial outcomes. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of non-protein-coding tran…
Leucine-rich repeat-containing G protein-coupled receptor 5 (LGR5) plays a vital role in the development of malignant tumors; however, its biological role and underlying mechanism in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remain unclear. In this s…
LXA4 could inhibit the invasion and migration of ESC by down-regulating the NF-κB signaling-mediated autophagy.
AimThis study assesses a clinical potential of immediate early responsive gene X-1 (IEX-1), also named IER3, in the diagnosis of epithelial ovarian carcinoma using blood and salivary specimens.MethodsImmediate early responsive gene X-1 was …
A previous study by our group has demonstrated that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces adenomyosis through stimulating inflammatory cell proliferation and invasive growth of stromal cells via Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling. The present…
This study aimed to investigate the effects of estrogen in combination with aspirin and intrauterine balloon on the uterine endometrial repair and reproductive prognosis in patients after surgery for severe intrauterine adhesion (sIUA). We …
To what extent could alcohol consumption affects female fertility is still unclear. The aim of this study was to quantitatively summarize the dose-response relation between total and specific types of alcohol beverage (beer, wine, and spiri…
Metastasis is an important event for cancer evolution and prognosis. In this article, we analyzed the differences in genomic alterations between primary and metastatic tissues at hotspot regions in 15 cancer types and 10,456 samples. Differ…
It is generally known that the human genome makes a large amount of noncoding RNAs compared with coding genes. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) which composed of more than 200 nucleotides have been described as the largest subclass of the non…
Study objectiveTo evaluate safety, feasibility, and long-term clinical effects of adding laparoscopic pelvic plexus ablation to uterine-sparing procedures (uterine artery occlusion and partial adenomyomectomy) for adenomyosis.DesignA prospe…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between -1195 A/G polymorphism in cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) gene and the risk of pain occurrence in women with endometriosis (EM). MATERIALS AND METHODS: -1195 A/G polymorphism…
Our study investigated poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) as protein delivery vehicles encapsulate CTLA-4-antibody (anti-CTLA-4) which is essential for CD4+CD25+Treg cells suppressive function exposing superior potential for inhibiting en…
The lack of efficient tumor progression and chemoresistance indicators leads to high mortality in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients. Dysregulated miR-520g expression is involved in these processes in hepatic and colorectal cancers. I…
Misregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF‑A) has been implicated in numerous types of ovarian disease, such as polycystic ovarian syndrome, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, endometriosis and ovarian cancer. VEGF regulate…
A 67-year-old woman who was presented to the gynecologist with a two-month history of heavy vaginal bleeding, after an excisional biopsy of vulvar mass, was diagnosed with the right colon adenocarcinoma metachronous metastasis to the vulva.…
AimsTo estimate mortality rates among treated opioid-dependent individuals by cause and in relation to the general population, and to estimate the instantaneous effects of opioid detoxification and maintenance treatment (MMT) on the hazard …
