Vasohibin-1 (VASH-1) is an endothelial protein that serves as a negative feedback regulator of angiogenesis. Through its microtubule carboxypeptidase activity, VASH-1 plays a key role in vascular homeostasis. While previous studies have inv…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease, and its pathogenesis remains unclear. Although the placenta is an organ with tumor-like characteristics, its development, including its invasive function…
BackgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) mainly develops in cases of fibrosis and cirrhosis and is accompanied by intestinal flora disorder. HCC also affects CD8+ T cell immune function. 5,7-Dimethoxyflavone (DMF), an active flavonoid with …
Gynecologic cancers (GCs), including cervical cancer (CC), ovarian cancer (OC), endometrial cancer (EC), as well as vulvar and vaginal cancers, represent major health threats to women, with increasing incidence rates observed globally. Conv…
BackgroundThe Life's Simple 7 (LS7) metric is a comprehensive measure of cardiovascular health (CVH) that encompasses seven distinct risk factors and behaviors associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Some studies have shown an associa…
BackgroundAlthough there are several scoring systems currently used to predict the severity of acute pancreatitis, each of them has limitations. Determine the accuracy of a modified Ranson score in predicting disease severity and prognosis …
(1) The accuracy of patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) in predicting ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) efficacy in ovarian cancer was tested, novel biomarkers were investigated, and whether PARPis could replace platinum-based chemother…
BackgroundRecently, several novel scoring systems have been developed to evaluate the severity and outcomes of acute pancreatitis. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of novel and conventional scoring systems in predicting the sev…
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors associated with progress-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with high-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (HG-ESS). PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 40 pati…
BACKGROUND Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is due to age-related atrophy and the weakening of the tissues of the pelvic floor, with degradation of collagen and extracellular matrix (ECM) by metalloproteinases (MMPs). This study aimed to investi…
The aim of this study was to screen genes related to the development and injury of the mouse optic nerve so as to provide possible target genes for gene-engineering therapy of central nervous system (CNS) injury. Gene expression was profile…
