Endometriosis (EMs) is an estrogen (E2)-dependent inflammatory disorder. Although EMs is considered a benign disease, it presents with malignant characteristics, such as migration and invasion. An increasing number of studies have shown tha…
Abstract Background: Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic gynaecological disease. Exosomal miRNAs appear to be associated with the progression of EMS, which suggest potential circulating biomarkers in EMS. Methods: Differential centrifugation, …
BackgroundMultiple pregnancies are associated with significant complications and health risks for both mothers and infants. Single blastocyst transfer (SBT) is a logical and effective measure to reduce the incidence of multiple pregnancy wi…
BackgroundWomen with irregular menstruation should be considered to benefit from the ovarian stimulation. However, most literature did not separate ovulatory disorders from normal menstrual cycles. Our purpose was to assess the superiority …
Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), which is a kind of noncoding RNA, is generally characterized as being more than 200 nucleotide transcripts in length. LncRNAs exhibit many biological activities, including, but not limited to, cancer developmen…
Abstract Objective This study aimed to identify the clinical characteristics of Chinese patients with ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (EC) and clear cell carcinoma (CCC) and to assess the impact of concurrent endometriosis on this group. Met…
Abstract Vilaprisan is a novel selective progesterone receptor modulator for the long‐term treatment of uterine fibroids and endometriosis. This study investigated the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of vilaprisan in healthy Chin…
In order to compare the clinicopathological characteristics and survival outcomes of patients with ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) to other epithelial cancer types, a total of 27,290 patients were analyzed, including 2,424 patients with …
To understand susceptibility of wild California sea lions and Northern elephant seals to influenza A virus (IAV), we developed an ex vivo respiratory explant model and used it to compare infection kinetics for multiple IAV subtypes. We fir…
Abstract Background: Adenomyosis (AM) is a common benign chronic gynaecological disorder; however, the precise pathogenesis of adenomyosis is still poorly understood. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) can uncover rare subpopulations, …
Rs11614913 in pri-miR-196a-2 is involved in the occurrence of many diseases, especially in cancers. However, it remains unknown whether miR-196a-2 is associated with human recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) in Chinese Han population. Our …
Decidual macrophages are in close contact with trophoblast cells during placenta development, and an appropriate crosstalk between these cellular compartments is crucial for the establishment and maintenance of a healthy pregnancy. During d…
Abstract Backround: The EFI, which was previously developed and validated externally, has shown predictive accuracy of non-ART pregnancy following surgery in infertile women with endometriosis. But up to now it was less accurate among the p…
Background: Oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPx1) and catalase (CAT) are the major intracellular antioxidant enzymes that can detoxify hydrogen pero…
Objective: The surgical approach, hemostatic approach, histologic findings, and cyst size and location may have a role in reducing the ovarian reserve. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of single-port laparoscopic cystecto…
AIM: Previous studies have revealed that loss of cell apical-basal polarity contributed to the early stages of tumorigenesis. Adenomyosis involves a down-growth and aberrant implantation of the endometrial basalis into the myometrium. This …
The aim of current study was to apply the methylated DNA immunoprecipitation (MeDIP)-Chip method to investigate dynamic changes in CpG island methylation in human sperm, oocytes and various developmental stages of preimplantation embryos. S…
BackgroundAbnormal BMI is associated with discouraging IVF outcomes in fresh autologous or oocyte donor cycles, whether or not such a relation also holds true for women undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) remains unknown. In addi…
RATIONALE: The purpose of this case report was to raise awareness regarding endometriosis on the surface of the uterus mimicking malignant tumor and thus manage it accurately. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 40-year-old Asian woman with a 2-year histor…
Despite its prevalence and the severity of symptoms, little is known about the pathogenesis and etiology of adenomyosis. In previous studies, the protein expression level of the polarity protein Scribble in the eutopic endometrium of patien…
Exosomes extracted from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) was reported to reduce myocardial ischemia/reperfusion damage. Besides, stromal-derived factor 1 (SDF1a) functions as cardiac repair after myocardial infarction (MI). Therefore, the pres…
A recent hypothesis-free pathway-level analysis of genome-wide association study (GWAS) datasets suggested that the overall genetic variation measured by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a benign gynecological disorder which shares certain characteristics with malignant tumor like migration, invasion and proliferation. Glioma-associated oncogene homolog 1 (GLI1) has been implicated in some cance…
Ovarian Clear Cell Carcinoma (OCCC) displays distinctive clinical and molecular characteristics and confers the worst prognosis among all ovarian carcinoma histotypes when diagnosed at advanced stage, because of the lack of effective therap…
Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disease, characterized by the existence of endometrium in the myometrium. The pathogenesis of adenomyosis is not fully understood. P21-activated kinase 1 (PAK1) is an effector of small Rho GTPases inclu…
