OBJECTIVE: To compare the rates of negative test results for chronic endometritis (CE) between subjects who did and did not receive antibiotic treatment. DESIGN: Prospective, single-blind randomized controlled trial. SETTING: Tertiary hys…

Gastric cancer is a common tumor of the digestive system, which can occur in any part of the stomach. Kallikrein 6 (KLK6) is a trypsin-like serine protease and has been found to be involved in extracellular matrix remodeling, tumor invasion…

Inhibitory leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptors (LILRBs 1-5) transduce signals via intracellular immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs that recruit phosphatases to negatively regulate immune activation. The activation of LILRB …

Endometrial cancer (EC) is a multi-factorial disease of which pathogenesis has not been fully elucidated. The function and underlying mechanism of microRNA-20a-5p (miR-20a-5p) in EC remain poorly understood. The present study aimed to analy…

BackgroundAdministration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) in the luteal phase is commonly used for pituitary suppression during in vitro fertilisation (IVF). There is an ineluctable risk of inadvertent exposure of spontane…

ObjectiveConcern regarding the adverse impact of pretreatment of oral contraceptives (OC) prior to ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilization (IVF) on pregnancy outcome has been debated. We investigated factors that may be associated wi…

Endometriosis is a common, benign, and hormone-dependent gynaecological disorder that displays altered immunoinflammatory profiles. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) suppressed immunosurveillance in endometriosis in human and mouse m…

Transcription factors of the SOX family were first discovered in mammals in 1990. The sex-determining region Y box 9 belongs to the SOX transcription factor family. It plays an important role in inducing tissue and cell morphogenesis, survi…

Embryo implantation rate remains an inefficient process in in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) cycles. The role long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) plays in embryo implantation remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the expressio…

Background: Both ultrasound, demographic, biochemical and laboratory markers alone have been analyzed in the previous literatures for the prediction of miscarriage; however, these independent factors have not yet been integrated for analys…

BACKGROUND: Research into the pathogenesis of endometriosis (EMs) would substantially promote its effective treatment and early diagnosis. However, the aetiology of EMs is poorly understood and controversial despite the progress in EMs rese…

High-altitude adaptation of Tibetans represents a remarkable case of natural selection during recent human evolution. Previous genome-wide scans found many non-coding variants under selection, suggesting a pressing need to understand the fu…

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease in which ovarian dysfunction can be an important cause of infertility. Elevated progesterone (P4) levels during the follicular phase is possibly associated with impaired oocyte quality and pre…

MethodsAP was induced in Balb/C mice by ten hourly intraperitoneal injections of caerulein (100 μg/kg) and LPS (5 mg/kg). The MMP inhibitor, BB-94 (20 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally administered 30 min before AP induction. Pancreatitis was co…

Endometriosis is a gynecological disease with abnormal expression of interleukin (IL)-37 which can suppress inflammation and the immune system. Here we investigated the role of the IL-37b splice variant in endometriosis in vivo and in vitro…

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 …

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence and the related characteristics of oligomenorrhea among women within childbearing age in China.Study designA large-scale community-based investigation was conducted from 2013 to 2015. A total of 12,964…

BACKGROUND: To investigate the effectiveness of the GnRH-a ultra-long protocol, GnRH-a long protocol, and GnRH-a short protocol used in in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in infertile women with endometriosis. METHODS: We searc…

IntroductionAlthough acupuncture has been recommended for alleviating cancer pain by clinical guidelines, the level of the supporting evidence needs to be improved. A pragmatic randomised controlled trial (pRCT) in a hospital setting would …

Background: Lower genital tract carcinomas that coexist with genitourinary malformations are rare. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinicopathologic characteristics and outcomes of patients with this rare joint condition. The a…

Research Question: What is the effect of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)-agonist treatment on serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH)? Design: This prospective cohort study conducted in a tertiary university hospital comprised patients (n …

ObjectiveTo investigate the abnormal expression of sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling molecules in 52 eutopic endometrial tissues and its diagnostic potency in endometriosis.DesignRetrospective study.SettingUniversity hospital.Patient(s)Twenty-…

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is one of the most significant causes of morbidity and mortality in populations aged >65 years worldwide. However, the underlying mechanisms of AAA based on the competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) hypothesis h…

BackgroundCA125 is a prevalently used serum biomarker for detecting ovarian cancer over the last three decades. However, it has a significant deficiency in screening for early-stage cancer. With the purpose of exploring an effective approac…

RATIONALE: Ovarian malignancy is associated with one of the highest rates of death among gynecological reproductive system malignancies. While progress has been made in surgical and postoperative adjuvant treatment approaches, the early aty…
