IntroductionThe women with hydrosalpinx have lower pregnancy rates in assisted reproductive technology, and only laparoscopic salpingectomy and tubal occlusion has proven to be effective to improve the outcome of in vitro fertilization. The…

HIF-1α is an important factor regulating oxygen balance in mammals, and its expression is closely related to various physiological and pathological conditions of the body. Because HIF-1α plays an important role in the occurrence and develop…

Endometriosis, as a prevalent gynecological disease, is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, causing infertility and considerable pain and affecting the quality of life of women. The pathogenic mechan…

PurposeTo evaluate whether miR-148a-3p overexpression is associated with disrupted decidualization of recurrent implantation failure (RIF).MethodsEndometrial miRNA and mRNA expression profiles during the implantation window derived from wom…

BackgroundThis study explored the mechanisms underlying altered neurobehavioural development of female offspring born to mothers with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).MethodsIn total, 20 women with PCOS and 32 healthy women who underwent ca…

Endometriosis is a benign gynecologic disease, but it is similar in behavior to malignant tumors, so it is called “benign gynecologic cancer”. At present, its pathogenesis is not fully understand. Autophagy has been the focus of recent rese…

Abstract Endometriosis is estrogen-dependent disorder. Two theories provide the explanations for the increased estrogen production. One is the feed-forward loop model linking inflammation and estrogen production. The more recent model evoke…

IntroductionAcupuncture and moxibustion has become a commonly used adjuvant treatment method to improve the success rate of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET). However, There is still insufficient evidence that acupuncture trea…

Recently, evidences show that cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a type of cancer cell group with self-renewal and play a huge role in tumor recurrence, metastasis, and drug resistance. Finding new treatment directions and targets for cancer prog…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) is a benign gynecological disease that shares some characteristics with malignancy, such as proliferation and invasion. So far, the pathogenesis of EM is still unclear. In this study, we investigated whether T…

Mullerian adenosarcoma (MAS) is a biphasic tumor with malignant stroma. It is most commonly of endometrial origin but occasionally originates in the cervix, ovary, or other pelvic/peritoneal sites. The typical MAS is low grade with an indol…

BackgroundSome of the non-criteria autoantibodies, especially non-conventional antiphospholipid (aPL) antibodies, were present with high prevalence in sporadic miscarriages and recurrent pregnant loss. However, whether these autoantibodies …

To further dissect the genetic architecture of colorectal cancer (CRC), we performed whole-genome sequencing of 1,439 cases and 720 controls, imputed discovered sequence variants and Haplotype Reference Consortium panel variants into genome…

Objective: Our aim was to study the association between early-life factors and the development of endometriosis.Methods: This case–control study included 440 women with surgically confirmed endometriosis (cases) and 880 women without endome…

EMT (Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition) is one of the factors in the pathogenesis of adenomyosis. FMNL2 induced invasion of cancer cell through promoting EMT, but it is unclear the role of FMNL2 in the adenomyosis. By IHC staining, we found…

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive subtype of breast cancer without effective targeted drugs. While breast cancer patients often use acupuncture for the relief of cancer-induced pain or the side effects of chemo- or…

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a critical event involved in the pathophysiological process of acute pancreatitis (AP). Many methods have been widely used for the treatment of AP-ALI, but few are useful during early inflammation. Lipoxin A4 (LXA…

Endometriosis, a common gynecological disease, is associated with pelvic pain and infertility. Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of women, but that number increases to 30-50% in symptomatic premenopausal women. Despite the prevalence …

Impaired decidualization has been considered a major cause of infertility in adenomyosis. However, the mechanism remains poorly understood. Recent studies suggest that microRNAs (miRNA) play a crucial role in embryo implantation. The aim of…

ObjectiveUterine carcinosarcomas (UCSs) are aggressive rare tumors recognized as malignancies composed of metaplastic transformation of epithelial elements. Nay no comprehensive molecular classification has been applied to UCS to guide targ…

Cardiac ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury results mainly from mitochondrial dysfunction and cardiomyocyte death. Mitophagy sustains mitochondrial function and exerts a pro-survival effect on the reperfused heart tissue. Mammalian STE20-like…

Equine endometrosis, a frequent cause of subfertility, is characterized by periglandular fibrosis, and no treatment exists. Endometrial biopsies not only contain diseased glands, but also contain healthy glands and stroma. Myoepithelial (ME…

Asiatic acid (AA) is one of the major components of the Chinese herb Centella asiatica and exerts a variety of pharmacological activities. However, the pharmacological effects of AA on pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) remain unknown. The p…

Worldwide, infertility affects 8-12% of couples of reproductive age and has become a common problem. There are many ways to treat infertility, including medication, intrauterine insemination, and in vitro fertilization. In recent years, ste…
