Abstract Background: The presence of ectopic functional endometrial glands and stroma in the myometrium of the uterine cavity is considered as adenomyosis. Various inflammatory, vascular and mechanical factors are involved in the symptoms …

IntroductionFarnesoid X receptor (FXR), a member of nuclear receptors, functionally regulates bile acid, glucose and lipid homeostasis. It is also worth noting that FXR plays a suppressor role in cancer and inflammation. However, the contri…

BackgroundPeriodontal diseases and poor oral hygiene are potentially associated with decreased female fecundability. Fecundability refers to the probability of conception during a given period measured in months or menstrual cycles. This st…

The early diagnosis and treatment of ectopic pregnancy (EP) remains a major challenge. Despite a known link between vaginal microbiota and female reproductive health, few studies have focused on the association between vaginal microbiota an…

BACKGROUND: We aimed to summarize the available data regarding the levels of leptin and adiponectin and the key modulators of endometriosis compared to the controls. METHODS: The electronic databases such as MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Cochra…

Activin A receptor type 1C (ALK7) and its ligand nodal growth differentiation factor (NODAL) serve numerous roles in cancer cells, including regulating cancer invasion, migration and apoptosis. NODAL promotes breast cancer cell apoptosis by…

Abstract Background Endometrial receptivity damage caused by impaired decidualization may be one of the mechanisms of infertility in endometriosis (EMs). Our previous study demonstrated that Calpain-7 (CAPN7) is abnormally overexpressed in …

BackgroudThis study's objectives were to compare the clinical, perinatal, and obstetrical outcomes of patients with different estradiol (E2) levels in fresh single-blastocyst-transfer (SBT) cycles under an early follicular phase prolonged r…

Background: Avian leukosis virus subgroup J (ALV-J) is an oncogenic virus that causes serious economic losses in the poultry industry; unfortunately, there is no effective vaccine against ALV-J. DNA methylation plays a crucial role in sever…

BackgroundDiminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is the precursor state of ovarian failure and can cause the decline of women's reproductive function. DOR also leads to poor outcome of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) by affect…

Puerarin, an isoflavone glycoside derived from Pueraria lobata (Willd.) Ohwi, has been identified as a pharmacologically active component with diverse benefits. A large number of experimental and clinical studies have demonstrated that puer…

Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by toxic aggregates of mutant huntingtin protein (mHTT) in the brain. Decreasing mHTT is a potential strategy for therapeutic purpose of HD. Valosin-contai…

The goal of this study was to identify genes that were differentially methylated and differentially expressed and their related signaling pathways in ovarian endometriosis tissue. First, the DNA methylation and gene expression profiles in t…

BackgroundLong noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) can regulate gene expression in a cis-regulatory fashion or as "microRNA sponges". However, the expression and functions of lncRNAs during early human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (EHI) rema…

Endometriosis is a common estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease that leads to infertility in women of reproductive age. Perhaps infertility reflects the reduced expression of integrin αvβ3 and HOXA10 in endometriosis. Previous stu…

AIM: Study the effect of low-dose aspirin on the endometrial receptivity in endometriosis rat models. MATERIALS AND METHODS: = 17). The expressions of progesterone receptor (PR), PRA, PRB, and leukemia inhibitory factor receptor (LIFR) in e…

Endometriosis is a common gynaecologic disorder; it occurs most commonly in the pelvic cavity, less in extrapelvic regions (Benagiano et al. 2014). Thoracic or mediastinal endometriosis is a rare f...

BACKGROUND: The immune mechanism was shown to be involved in the development of adenomyosis. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the expression of the immune checkpoints B7-H2, B7-H3, B7-H4 and PD-L2 in adenomyosis and to explore t…

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…

PurposeTo compare the feasibility and efficacy of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) combined with chemotherapy and chemotherapy alone in patients with ovarian cancer liver metastasis (OCLM).MethodsIn this retrospective study, a total of 60 pati…

Abstract Objective: Typical endometrial polypoid adenomyoma (TPA) is a rare type of lesion in the uterine cavity or cervical canal. Although the clinical and pathologic features of TPA have been described extensively, reports on its pathoge…

PurposeTo examine the screening history of vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VaIN) and vaginal cancer.Patients and methodsWe included women with histologically confirmed VaIN or vaginal cancer by colposcopy-directed biopsy between 1 Januar…

The endometrium is unique as an accessible anatomic location that can be repeatedly biopsied and where diagnostic biopsies do not extirpate neoplastic lesions. We exploited these features to retrospectively characterize serial genomic alter…

ObjectiveTo identify targets and discover drugs for ovarian endometriosis (OE) DESIGN: A basic study based on a data-driven hypothesis and experimental validation SETTING: Center for Reproductive Medicine PATIENT(S)/ANIMAL(S): Fourteen pati…

Biomarkers-guided precision therapeutics has revolutionized the clinical development and administration of molecular-targeted anticancer agents. Tailored precision cancer therapy exhibits better response rate compared to unselective treatme…
