BackgroundAngiogenin (ANG) is a multifunctional angiogenic protein that participates in both normal development and diseases. Abnormal serum ANG levels are commonly reported in various diseases. However, whether ANG can serve as a diagnosti…
The present study was designed to explore the interrelationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily (TNFSF) and its respective receptor superfamily (TNFRSF) genes and Behcet's disease (BD) …
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expressions of miR23b and Sp1 in ovarian endometriosis and their clinic significance. Methods: qPCR was used to detect the expression of miR23b and Sp1 mRNA in paired ectopic/eutopic and normal endometrium. Imm…
Endometriosis is one of the main causes for female infertility. Previous studies suggested that perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), a group of ubiquitous environmental chemicals with properties of endocrine disruption and reproductive toxici…
PurposeThe purpose of this study is to explore whether a low concentration of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) supplementation in culture medium is beneficial to infertile women aged over 35 years.MethodsA retrospec…
ContextPolycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), the most common endocrine disorder of reproductive-aged women, is associated with systemic low-grade inflammation.ObjectiveWe propose that increased or altered intrafollicular inflammatory reaction…
Although there are advances in diagnostic, predictive, and therapeutic strategies, discovering protein biomarker for early detection is required for improving the survival rate of the patients with endometrial carcinoma. In this study, we i…
BackgroundBisphenol-A (BPA) is widely used and ubiquitous in the environment. Animal studies indicate that BPA affects reproduction, however, the gene-environment interaction mechanism(s) involved in this association remains unclear. We per…
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Lipoxins can function as endogenous 'breaking signals' in inflammation and play important roles in the progression of endometriosis. In this study, we further investigated the molecular mechanism by which lipoxin A4 …
PGI₂ signaling through IP inhibits allergen-induced inflammatory responses in mice. We reported previously that PGI₂ analogs decreased proinflammatory cytokine and chemokine production by mature BMDCs. However, whether PGI₂ modulates the fu…
ObjectiveTo determine the pro-resolution actions of 15-R-LXA(4) (LXA(4)) on endometriotic lesions and on the expression of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in the murine endometriosis model.Study desi…
ILK-induced EMT is a novel mechanism in the pathogenesis of adenomyosis and may be a potential therapeutic agent for adenomyosis.
