On October 23, 2020, a 69-year-old Chinese female patient was admitted to Yuncheng Hospital due to a history of postmenopausal bleeding and lower abdominal pain for 5 months. The HPV test and pathology results indicated the presence of inde…
Autophagy is a self-recycling and conserved process, in which the senescent cytoplasmic components are degraded in cells and then recycled to maintain homeostatic balance. Emerging evidence has suggested the involvement of autophagy in onco…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis affects many reproductive aged patients with fertility decline and poor outcomes of assisted reproductive treatments, mainly by decreased ovarian reserve and lower fertilization and implantation rates. In recent de…
ImportanceImplantation failure remains a critical barrier to in vitro fertilization. Prednisone, as an immune-regulatory agent, is widely used to improve the probability of implantation and pregnancy, although the evidence for efficacy is i…
Acute lung injury (ALI) caused by sepsis is a common respiratory critical illness with high morbidity and mortality. Protein kinase C-alpha (PRKCA) plays a protective role in sepsis-induced ALI. However, the detailed molecular mechanism of …
PurposeTo identify the survival and prognostic factors for cardiac amyloidosis (CA) in Chinese patients.MethodsThis was a prospective cohort study of 72 patients diagnosed with CA and admitted to the PLA General Hospital between November 20…
The sirtuin family, a group of NAD+-dependent class 3 histone deacetylases (HDACs), was extensively studied initially as a group of longevity genes that are activated in caloric restriction and act in concert with nicotinamide adenine dinuc…
Comprehensively understanding the female reproductive system is crucial for safeguarding fertility and preventing diseases concerning women's health. With the capacity to simulate the intricate physio- and patho-conditions, and provide diag…
The oral microbiome has been implicated in a growing number of diseases; however, determinants of the oral microbiome and their roles remain elusive. Here, we investigated the oral (saliva and tongue dorsum) metagenome, the whole genome, an…
This study was to evaluate whether Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) can improve the quality of embryo in patients with poor-quality embryos in the previous In-vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle, which was cancelled before transfer. This…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is recognized as a complex gynecological disorder that can cause severe pain and infertility, affecting 6-10% of all reproductive-aged women. Endometriosis is a condition in which endometrial tissue, which normally…
Endometritis is a kind of common obstetric disease in women, usually caused by various pathogenic bacteria. Neutrophil infiltration is one of the most important pathological features of endometritis. Neutrophils can reach the uterine cavity…
Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a kind of lymphocytes that reside in the tissue and have an essential function in the immune microenvironment. However, the relationship between endometriosis (EMS) and ILCs is complex and not fully understo…
Endometriosis (EMs) is a common disease among women whose pathogenesis is still unclear, although there are various hypotheses. Recent studies have considered macrophages the key part of the immune system in developing EMs, inducing inflamm…
S100A6, also known as calcyclin, is a low-molecular-weight Ca2+-binding protein from the S100 family that contains two EF-hands. S100A6 is expressed in a variety of mammalian cells and tissues. It is also expressed in lung, colorectal, panc…
BackgroundThe debate over the impact of vitamin D in assisted reproduction continues. The purpose of our study was to assess embryo quality and pregnancy outcomes among groups with different levels of vitamin D after the first in vitro fert…
Parthenolide (PTL) is a new compound extracted from traditional Chinese medicine. In recent years, it has been proven to play an undeniable role in tumors, autoimmune diseases, and inflammatory diseases. Similarly, an increasing number of e…
BackgroundPrevious investigations have reported that controlling nutritional (CONUT) status scores, incorporating total cholesterol (TC) and serum albumin (SA) values, and total lymphocyte (LY) counts, are reliable malignant tumor predictor…
In order to compare the microscopic ultrastructure of eutopic endometrium and normal endometrium in patients with endometriosis, to study the specific pathogenesis of endometriosis. In this paper, on the basis of using B-ultrasound technolo…
BackgroundBy analyzing the detection rate of anti-M antibody in patients with the MNS blood group system in the Hunan area, we aimed to explore its clinical significance and blood transfusion strategy.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the …
Endometriosis remains a common but challenging gynecological disease among reproductive-aged women with an unclear pathogenesis and limited therapeutic options. Numerous pieces of evidence suggest that NF-κB signaling, a major regulator of …
BackgroundCesarean sections are increasingly likely to be applied; however, uterine scar defects (USD) often remain after delivery. The two existing treatment methods, hysteroscopic electric resection and vaginal surgery, are still controve…
Endometrial receptivity damage caused by impaired decidualization may be one of the mechanisms of infertility in endometriosis (EMs). Our previous study demonstrated that Calpain-7 (CAPN7) is abnormally overexpressed in EMs. Whether CAPN7 a…
Background: CircRNAs have been found to be involved in the pathogenesis of various diseases. We aimed to explore the roles of circRNAs in ovarian cancer. Methods: The expression levels of circRNAs in ovarian cancer and normal ovarian tissue…
AimThe aim of the present study was to summarize the clinical characteristics and analyze the independent prognostic factors in patients with high-grade endometrial neuroendocrine carcinoma (ENC).MethodsPatients diagnosed with ENC, endometr…
