OBJECTIVE: Exosomes play crucial roles in cell-cell communication, but few studies exist on the role of exosomal miRNA in the interaction between peritoneal macrophages (pMφ) and human ectopic endometrial stromal cells (eESCs) in endometrio…

IntroductionMost premenopausal women in China have normal lipid profiles while the sexual function among them was scarcely demonstrated.AimTo find out the characteristics of the sexual function in premenopausal Chinese women without hyperli…

The genetic etiology of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) has been well established to date, however, the role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in POI is largely unknown. In this study, we identified a down-expressed lncRNA HCP5 in gran…

Some fertility patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) experience ceased follicular growth during COH and fail to superovulate. In this article, 24 such PCOS patients resumed COH 1…

To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of adenomyomectomy using "H" type incision combined with Mirena (LNG-IUS) in the treatment of adenomyosis.A total of 57 women with adenomyosis who underwent adenomyomectomy using "H" type incisio…

Objective: The surgical approach, hemostatic approach, histologic findings, and cyst size and location may have a role in reducing the ovarian reserve. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of single-port laparoscopic cystecto…

The authors regret that the incorrect identification of "omega-3 arachidonic acid" published in the original manuscript [1].

RATIONALE: Recurrent massive hemorrhagic ascites secondary to endometriosis is extremely rare in the medical literature. PATIENT CONCERNS: We report the case of a 24-year-old nulliparous woman presenting with severe abdominal distention, ma…

Background: Findings by epidemiologic studies on menopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and the risk of ovarian cancer are inconsistent. This study aimed to assess the association of menopausal HRT with the risk of ovarian cancer by h…

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), a class of non-coding RNA, have been shown to be essential in many diseases, such as infertility. Here, we found three candidate lncRNAs, ENST00000414116, ENST00000433673, and ENST00000448179, that are highly…

Endometrium is the mucosal lining of the uterus which expressed a cyclic process of proliferation, secretion and scaling under the control of hormones secreted by the ovary, and it also plays an indispensable role in the embryo implantation…

BackgroundDisordered inflammation and immune response is an acknowledged risk factor for cervical cancer development. Interleukin-1 receptor type 2 (IL1R2) is a decoy receptor for IL-1 cytokines and involved in host inflammatory and immune …

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common and devastating inflammatory disorder of the pancreas. However, there are still no effective treatments available for the disease. Therefore, it is important to discover new therapeutic targets and strate…

OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively analyze the adverse effects of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in management of benign uterine diseases. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From 2011 to 2017, 27,053 patients with benign uterine diseases were trea…

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…

The sensitivity and specificity of clinical diagnostic indicators and non-invasive diagnostic methods for endometriosis at early stage is not optimal. Previous studies demonstrated that abnormal lipid metabolism was involved in the patholog…

BACKGROUND: The sensitivity and specificity of non-invasive diagnostic methods for endometriosis, especially at early stages, are not optimal. The clinical diagnostic indicator cancer antigen 125 (CA125) performs poorly in the diagnosis of …

Endometriosis is a common multifactorial gynecological disorder defined as the proliferation of endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity. Neuroangiogenesis (co-recruitment of nerves and blood vessels) is believed to play an integral…

BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age and is commonly complicated by adverse endometrial outcomes. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of non-protein-coding tran…

AimsTo investigate the roles of Lats1/p-YAP1 pathway in TBI-induced neuronal apoptosis and neurological deficits in rats.ResultsWe found that Lats1 and YAP1 were expressed in cerebral cortex neurons of Sprague-Dawley rats, and the phosphory…

STUDY QUESTION: Do exosomes play a role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis in a murine model? SUMMARY ANSWER: Exosomes from endometriosis (EMS) can alternatively activate macrophages and thus contribute to the development of lesions in mi…

IntroductionIncreasing evidence has expanded the role of green tea from a traditional beverage to a source of pharmacologically active molecules with diverse health benefits. However, conclusive clinical results are needed to better elucida…

ImportanceThe causal direction and magnitude of the association between telomere length and incidence of cancer and non-neoplastic diseases is uncertain owing to the susceptibility of observational studies to confounding and reverse causati…

Abstract Endometrial cells and microenvironment are two important factors in the pathogenesis of adenomyosis. Our previous study demonstrated that macrophages can induce eutopic epithelial cells of adenomyosis to suffer from epithelial–mese…

STUDY QUESTION: What happens to the gut microbiota during development of murine endometriosis? SUMMARY ANSWER: Mice with the persistence of endometrial lesions for 42 days develop a distinct composition of gut microbiota. WHAT IS KNOWN ALRE…
