Abstract BackgroundThe immune mechanism was shown to be involved in the development of adenomyosis. The current study aims to evaluate the expression of immune checkpoint B7-H2, B7-H3, B7-H4 and PD-L2 in adenomyosis and to explore the effec…
Abstract 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: A total of 80 EMT patients…
BACKGROUND: Tumor angiogenesis, an essential process for cancer proliferation and metastasis, has a critical role in prognostic of kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), as well as a target in guiding treatment with antiangiogenic agents…
A wide array of pathogens has the potential to injure the fetus and induce teratogenesis, the process by which mutations in fetal somatic cells lead to congenital malformations. Rubella virus was the first infectious disease to be linked to…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) on the outcome of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in patients with endometriosis (EMT). METHODS: Female patients diagnosed with EMT in our hospital from May 2018 to May 201…
Previous studies report that fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) modulates Sproutys (SPRYs)/dual specificity phosphatase 6 (DUSP6)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathway in endometrial glandular epithelial cells. Howeve…
Multimodal fusion in neuroimaging combines data from multiple imaging modalities to overcome the fundamental limitations of individual modalities. Neuroimaging fusion can achieve higher temporal and spatial resolution, enhance contrast, cor…
BACKGROUND: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the leading cause of death among preterm infants born at < 30 weeks' gestation. The incidence of NEC is reduced when infants are fed human milk. However, in many neonatal intensive care units (…
PURPOSE: To improve the diagnosis and identification of ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) and ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (EC), we evaluated CT imaging findings and cut-off values for CEA and CA125. METHODS: The CT features and tumour …
PURPOSE: There are well-documented racial and ethnic disparities for in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes, including disparities in clinical pregnancy and live birth rate. Obesity has also been associated with an increase in the risk of in…
UNLABELLED: In order to explore the predictive model for analyzing clinical pregnancy outcomes based on IVF-ET (in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer) and ICSI (Intracytoplasmic sperm injection) assisted reproductive technology (ART). …
The T cell immunoglobulin mucin molecule 3 (TIM-3), as a negative regulatory immune checkpoint, plays an important role in cellular immunity by binding to its ligand galectin-9 (Gal-9). Under abnormal conditions, this pathway can regulate t…
OBJECTIVE: Women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) have an exceptionally high risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D). Yet, little is known about genetic determinants for T2D in this population. We examined the association of a g…
Guizhi Fuling capsule (GZFLc) is a modern preparation from traditional Chinese Medicine. Guizhi Fuling was first prescribed by Zhang Zhongjing almost two thousand years ago for the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea. It has also been used to…
To develop fusion protein of a GnRH Fc fragment and the integrin targeting AP25 antitumor peptide for GnRH receptor-expressing cancer therapy. The LMRAP fusion protein was constructed. A transwell invasion assay was performed. The gene mRNA…
Hemopexin (Hx) is a scavenger of labile heme. Herein, we present data defining the role of tumor stroma-expressed Hx in suppressing cancer progression. Labile heme and Hx levels are inversely correlated in the plasma of patients with prosta…
The gut microbiome plays an important role in human health. However, its response to external intervention is complex. A previous study showed that the response to Clostridium butyricum (CB) treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is he…
Mitochondrial fission is associated with cardiomyocyte death and myocardial depression, and suppressor of ras val-2 (SRV2) is a newly discovered pro-fission protein. In this study, we examined the mechanisms of SRV2-mediated mitochondrial f…
Abstract Background: Thoracic endometriosis syndrome (TES) is a rare disease in which a functioning endometrial tissue is observed in the pleura, lung parenchyma, airways, or diaphragm. The optimal management of this disease remains a matte…
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most lethal cancers worldwide. Inhibitor of differentiation 1 (Id1) is the member mostly linked to tumorigenesis in Id family and a potential molecular target in cancer therapy. In the curren…
Endometriosis is a common and difficult gynecological disease. The incidence of endometriosis has been increasing year by year. Because endometriosis mostly occurs in childbearing age,it can cause persistent damage to the fertility of patie…
Masses involving the abdominal wall are common in clinical practice and have many etiologies, including tumors and tumor-like lesions. Abdominal wall tumors include primary and secondary tumors, the former of which constitute a heterogeneou…
Abstract Background : This study aimed to explore the pathological mechanism of endometriosis (EMs) in rats by high-throughput sequencing. Methods : Rat EMs model, sham operation group and drug treatment group were established. Uterine tiss…
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent pro-inflammatory disease that affects 6% to 10% of reproductive-age women. Current treatments target sex steroids, and none are disease-specific. MicroRNA treatments have provided promising results for…
