The litter trait is one of the most important economic traits, and increasing litter size is of great economic value in the pig industry. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying pig litter traits remain elusive. To identify molecular m…
Introduction Post-covid-19 syndrome, or Long covid (LC) refers to symptoms persisting 12 weeks after Covid-19 infection. LC comprises a wide range of dysautonomia symptoms, including fatigue, breathlessness, palpitations, dizziness, pain an…
BACKGROUND: The pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA) is complex and there is no specific drug for treatment. The aim of this study was to identify the molecular targets of OA therapy, focusing on the expression and biological functions of mi…
Abstract Purpose To test the expression profile of transient receptor potential channels (TRPs) in adenomyosis patients and evaluate the effects of primidone on tamoxifen-induced adenomyosis mice. Methods Eutopic endometrium from adenomyosi…
BACKGROUND: This study aims to investigate the association between sleep quality and infertility among women and to explore the mediating effects of DNA methylation in this association. METHODS: This study is a population-based case-contro…
RATIONALE: The majority of rectal malignancies are primary tumors, secondary tumors are unusual. The rectal metastasis of endometrial carcinoma is reported to be extremely rare, especially in the absence of endometriosis. PATIENT CONCERNS:…
PURPOSE: Endometriosis (EMT) is a chronic benign disease with high prevalence. This study investigated the diagnostic value of serum miR-17-5p, miR-424-5p, and their combined expressions for EMT. METHODS: Total 80 EMT patients of reproduct…
BACKGROUND: Synthetic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide quantitative information about inherent tissue properties and synthesize tailored contrast-weighted images simultaneously in a single scan. This study aimed to investigate t…
IN BRIEF: The establishment and maintenance of embryo implantation and pregnancy require decidualization of endometrial stromal cells. This paper reveals that SHP2 ensures the correct subcellular localization of progesterone receptor, there…
Curcumae Longae Rhizoma (turmeric), Curcumae Radix and Curcumae Rhizoma are derived from the Curcuma species, and have gradually become three of the most commonly used medicinal herbs in China due to their different origins, processing meth…
Abstract Objective: This study aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of suture fixation of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LNG-IUD) through hysteroscope fortreatment of adenomyosis in patients at high risk of device…
Circular RNAs (circRNAs), produced by precursor mRNAs, are a type of covalently closed circular molecule without 5' caps and 3' polyadenylated tails. Recently, advances in high-throughput sequencing, transcriptomics and bioinformatics, have…
Adenomyosis is a benign gynecological disease. The pathogenesis of adenomyosis is still unclear. The Hippo signaling pathway is highly conserved in vivo and associated with endometriosis and various cancers. Our objective was to study the e…
AIM: As the second most prevalent subtype of epithelial ovarian cancers, ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is known for its chemoresistance to conventional platinum-based therapy. In this work, we examined the tryptophan (Trp) metabolism …
PPM1A (magnesium-dependent phosphatase 1 A, also known as PP2Cα) is a member of the Ser/Thr protein phosphatase family. Protein phosphatases catalyze the removal of phosphate groups from proteins via hydrolysis, thus opposing the role of pr…
PURPOSE: This study aimed to combine plasma netrin-1 and clinical parameters to construct a diagnostic model for bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis (BPS/IC). METHODS: We analyzed the independent diagnostic value of netrin-1 and th…
BackgroundChronic pancreatitis (CP) is a long-term inflammatory disease of the pancreas that can be caused by various pathogenic factors. Oxidative stress (OS), which is associated with several pancreatic diseases, can induce pancreatic ste…
BackgroundCritical illness myopathy (CIM) is a consequence of modern critical care resulting in general muscle wasting and paralyses of all limb and trunk muscles, resulting in prolonged weaning from the ventilator, intensive care unit (ICU…
Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) can result in lower fertility and shorten the female reproductive span. Bushen-Culuan Decoction (BCD) is a traditional Chinese medication utilized for treating POI for many years. We previously observed…
OBJECTIVE: To compare and contrast the effects of percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration (PESA) and testicular sperm aspiration (TESA) on the outcome of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)-assisted fertility treatment in patients with…
BACKGROUND: 0PN zygotes have a low cleavage rate, and the clinical outcomes of cleavage-stage embryo transfers are unsatisfactory. Blastocyst culturing is used to screen 0PN embryos, but whether the cell number of 0PN embryos on day 3 affec…
BACKGROUND: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with normal karyotype (NK-AML) have significant variabilities in outcomes. The European Leukemia Net stratification system and some prognostic models have been used to evaluate risk stratifi…
Total number born (TNB), number of stillborn (NSB), and gestation length (GL) are economically important traits in pig production, and disentangling the molecular mechanisms associated with traits can provide valuable insights into their ge…
BACKGROUND: Unsubstantiated concerns have been raised on the potential correlation between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccination and infertility, leading to vaccine hesitancy in reproductive-aged populatio…
