Decidualization of endometrial stromal cells is a hallmark of endometrial receptivity for embryo implantation, and dysfunctional decidualization is associated with pregnancy failure. Protein glycosylation is an important posttranslational m…
PurposeTo evaluate whether outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF) are affected during the coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic.MethodsThis was a single-center, retrospective study. Embryo development, pregnancy, and live birth outco…
Evaluation of tubal patency is one of the vital steps in the process of female infertility management. Hysterosalpingo-contrast Sonography (HyCoSy) has become the first-line recommendation for evaluating tubal patency. However, there remain…
Background: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been confirmed to play vital roles in tumorigenesis. LncRNA MYU has recently been reported as an oncogene in several kinds of tumors. However, MYU's expression status and potential involvement…
BACKGROUND/AIM: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease characterized by the ectopic implantation and growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of endome…
Endometriosis is a common, estrogen-dependent chronic gynecological disease that endangers the reproductive system and systemic metabolism of patients. We aimed to investigate the differences in metabolic profiles in the follicular fluid be…
Ovarian clear cell carcinomas (OCCCs) are a subtype of ovarian epithelial tumors that arise from the malignant transformation of endometriosis (EMs). These tumors have distinctive molecular features, high malignant potential, low sensitivit…
Endometriosis, an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the growth of endometrium-like tissues outside the uterine cavity, affects 10% of reproductive-age women. Although the pathogenesis of endometriosis is uncer…
BackgroundThe KangDuo-Surgical Robot-01 (KD-SR-01) system is a new surgical robot recently developed in China. The aim of this study was to present our single-center experience and mid-term outcomes of urological procedures using the KD-SR-…
INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis (EM) is an aggressive, pleomorphic, and common gynecological disease. Its clinical presentation includes abnormal menstruation, dysmenorrhea, and infertility, which seriously affect the patient's quality of life.…
Abstract Background Endometriosis development is associated with peritoneal immune microenvironment abnormality. However, the specific mechanism is uncertain. Investigating peritoneal immune microenvironment regulation mechanisms could intr…
BackgroundGlutathione-S transferases (GSTs) comprise a series of critical enzymes involved in detoxification of endogenous or xenobiotic compounds. Among several GSTs, Glutathione S-transferases mu (GSTM) has been implicated in a number of …
IntroductionCesarean scar defect (CSD) is a long-term outcome of cesarean section (CS) and associated with numerous gynecological and obstetric problems. Previous studies indicate that infection may be a risk factor for CSD. Adjunctive azit…
BackgroundFew studies have described the relationship between the type of infertility and live birth in patients treated with intrauterine insemination (IUI). We focused on this issue and attempted to explore it.MethodsThis retrospective st…
AIM: To explore the associations between endometriosis and different kinds of allergy-related diseases as well as different specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) allergy. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 1332 female participants ≥20 …
Abstract Background This study explored the key genes related to immune cell infiltration in endometriosis. Results The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets (GSE7305, GSE7307, and GSE11691), containing a total of 37 endometriosis and 42 n…
Articular cartilage allows the human body to buffer and absorb stress during normal exercise. It is mainly composed of cartilage cells and the extracellular matrix and is surrounded by the extracellular microenvironment formed by synovial f…
AIM: To investigate the distribution of tubal endometriosis (EM) in the right and left sides and four parts of the fallopian tube. METHODS: A retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted on patients with tubal EM at the Fourth Affilia…
BACKGROUND: The contents of ovarian endometrioma (OMA) such as inflammatory mediators, reactive oxygen species, and iron may disrupt normal folliculogenesis and result in subsequent oocyte apoptosis. Therefore, women with OMA have a potenti…
BackgroundThere is insufficient evidence regarding the impact of dual trigger on oocyte maturity and reproductive outcomes in high responders. Thus, we aimed to explore the effect of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) trigger al…
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease with an uncertain pathogenesis. Peritoneal immune dysregulation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Exosomes are messengers of intercellular communication. This study…
Background: Adenomyosis (AM) is a common benign uterine disease that threatens the normal life of patients. Cells associated with microenvironmental immune ecology are crucial in AM, although they are not as well understood at the cellular …
The goal of this research was to find noval transcription factors (TFs) that are involved in cervical carcinogenesis. The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database was utilized to analyze ten cervical cancer datasets using the Robust Rank Aggr…
BackgroundChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive disease characterized by chronic inflammation and airway remodeling. Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) plays a critical role in various inflammatory or fibrotic diseases…
Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is a critical illness characterized by a severe systemic inflammatory response resulting in persistent multiple organ failure and sepsis. The intestinal microbiome is increasingly appreciated to play a crucia…
