Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), a serious inflammatory disease of the pancreas, can easily lead to systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and multiple organ dysfunction syndromes (MODS). Acute lung injury (ALI) is one of the most s…
BackgroundPrimary dysmenorrhea (PD) is one of the common gynecological diseases, the incidence of PD is on the rise and young women are more likely to have it, which seriously affects women's physical, mental health and work life. Intraderm…
Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease affecting up to 10% of women at reproductive age. Prior combined studies implied that MYH8 mutations might exist in endometriosis. Here, 152 Han Chinese samples with ovarian endometriosis were…
BackgroundReproductive health is the core science of human life and is critical to the healthy and sustainable development of human society. Since 1980, China has enforced a "one child" policy. With the implementation of the Universal Two-C…
We previously performed high throughput RNA-seq in paired eutopic and ectopic endometrial specimen of endometriosis patients, and validated the results by qRT-PCR in endometriosis endometrial tissues. MiR-96-5p was significantly downregulat…
Oxidative stress (OS) has been proposed to play a role in the development of EMs. Peroxiredoxins are a family of antioxidant proteins that exhibit peroxidase activity in a thioredoxin-dependent manner, protecting cells against OS. The Weste…
Endometriosis, a common benign gynecological disease, has the growth characteristics of malignant tumors, however, the pathogenesis of this disease remains unclear. It is well known that micro ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) are involved in epit…
Background: Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F can cause adverse effects (AEs) in clinical application and may be harmful to human health. This study aim to summarize the AEs caused by T. wilfordii tgpolyglycoside (TWP), the most common preparat…
BACKGROUND: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) with miRNA response elements (MREs) could function as competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) in regulating gene expression, thus playing vital roles in pathogenesis and progression of many diseases. However, t…
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…
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…
Obesity-related non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is connected with mitochondrial stress and hepatocyte apoptosis. Parkin-related mitophagy sustains mitochondrial homeostasis and hepatocyte viability. However, the contribution and r…
BackgroundEmbryonic mortality is a major concern in the commercial swine industry and primarily occurs early in gestation, but also during mid-gestation (~ days 50-70). Previous reports demonstrated that the embryonic loss rate was signific…
Vaginal endometrial stromal sarcoma (VESS) is a rare disease. To the best of our knowledge, there have only been a few reported cases in the literature. Therefore, we conducted a literature review to obtain specific knowledge of this diseas…
ObjectivesAs current evidence of the effectiveness on acupuncture for primary dysmenorrhea (PD) is inconsistent, we aimed to critically appraise the evidence from relevant systematic reviews (SRs).MethodsSRs of randomized controlled trials …
Endometriosis is a complex and heterogeneous pre-malignant inflammatory disease harboring multiple gene mutations. Previous studies have suggested that caspase recruitment domain family member (CARD)10 and CARD11 mutations may exist in endo…
In this pictorial review, MR imaging findings of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) are illustrated together with surgical correlation. DIE can appear as irregular nodules or plaques with similar signal intensity to muscle on both T1-wei…
Endometriosis is still a major problem in obstetrics and gynecology. While GZFLW (Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan) has been originally used for treating gynecological diseases, however, the molecular mechanism that GZFLW acts on endometriosis is not cl…
Endometriosis is characterized by the ectopic implant of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity and found in ˜35-50% of subfertile women. Previous studies have found that endometriosis had frequent defects in zona pellucida (ZP), and…
Endometriosis is a potential premalignant disorder. The underlying molecular aberrations, however, are not fully understood. A recent exome sequencing study found that 25% (10/39) of deep infiltrating endometriosis harbored cancer driver ge…
This study aimed to investigate the effects of estrogen in combination with aspirin and intrauterine balloon on the uterine endometrial repair and reproductive prognosis in patients after surgery for severe intrauterine adhesion (sIUA). We …
BACKGROUND: Given the important roles of the receptor-mediated lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) signaling in both reproductive tract function and gynecological cancers, it will be informative to investigate the potential role of LPA in the devel…
The present study aimed to elucidate the roles and possible molecular mechanisms of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) urothelial carcinoma associated 1 (UCA1) in neuronal pheochromocytoma (PC)-12 cells under hypoxic conditions. The neuronal PC-12…
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has been used for diagnosing acute pancreatitis (AP), particularly severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). However, the diagnostic difference between CEUS and conventional ultrasonography (CUS) for AP and SAP ha…
To evaluate the association of the TP53 codon 72 (rs 1042522) alone or in combination with HDM2 SNP309 (rs 2279744) polymorphisms with human infertility and IVF outcome, we collected 1450 infertility women undergoing their first controlled …
