IntroductionTraditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), specifically Gui-Shen-Wan, has shown promise in restoring ovarian function among reproductive-age women who had impaired ovarian functions, yet the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Recent…
Abstract Background: In December, 2019, a pneumonia associated with the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) emerged in Wuhan, China. Since December 2022, China has adjusted anti-epidemic policies and a large-scale COVID-19 infection has eme…
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a devastating disease characterized by an inflammatory disorder of the pancreas. P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) plays a crucial role in the initial steps of the adhesive at process to inflammatory sites…
Copper is an indispensable micronutrient for the development and replication of all eukaryotes, and its redox properties are both harmful and beneficial to cells. An imbalance in copper homeostasis is thought to be involved in carcinogenesi…
So far, ovarian cancer has still been the most lethal gynecological malignancy. The chemotherapy and targeted medication are the mainstay for the recurrent ovarian cancer treatment. About 70% of the advanced-stage cases will relapse. Ascite…
Interleukin (IL)-6 upregulation is involved in the pathogenesis of adenomyosis, but the underlying mechanism remains to be elucidated. Exosomes mediate intercellular communication, therefore the present study investigated whether endometria…
RATIONALE: Endometriosis, a benign disease, has a malignant biological behavior and is highly prone to recurrence. Although gastrointestinal involvement is the most common site for extra-genital endometriosis, deep infiltrative endometriosi…
BACKGROUND: A referenced MRI-based classification associated with focused ultrasound ablation surgery (FUAS) outcomes is lacking in adenomyosis. PURPOSE: To identify an MRI-based classification system for informing the FUAS outcomes. STUD…
Embryo implantation, a crucial step in human reproduction, is tightly controlled by estrogen and progesterone (P4) via estrogen receptor alpha and progesterone receptor (PGR), respectively. Here, we report that N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the…
BackgroundOocyte degeneration was mostly described in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles; there is no report showing the relationship between oocyte degeneration and clinical outcomes in conventional in vitro fertilization (IVF)…
Background: Male and female gametes factors might contribute to the total fertilization failure (TFF). In first in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, decision-making of insemination protocol was mainly based on semen quality for the contribu…
ObjectiveOur study aimed to elucidate the effect of PAI-1 (Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1) and t-PA (Tissue-type Plasminogen Activator) in tissue remodeling in nasal polyps patients.MethodsSamples were streamed as early Nasal Polyps (eNP…
BackgroundsVitamin D is considered as a nutrient protecting individuals against an array of diseases based on observational studies. Such a protective effect, however, has not been demonstrated by randomized controlled trials. This study ai…
BackgroundBreast cancer, the most diagnosed cancer, remains the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States, and excessive Progesterone (PRG) or Mifepristone (MIF) exposure may be at an increased risk for developing breast can…
Abstract Objective To investigate the expression of nuclear actor-k-gene binding(NF-κB) and immediate early response 3(IER3) in nuclear factor-activated B cells in ovarian endometrioid cysts. To analyze the correlation between the express…
), a potential target of miR-21-5p, is downregulated in endometriotic specimens. However, the function of CPEB3 in endometriosis is elusive. In this study, in cultured primary human endometrial stromal cells (ESCs), the overexpression and i…
BackgroundPrevious studies have arguably associated poor embryo morphology with low birth weight in singletons following single embryo transfer. However, the association between birth weight and specific morphological features in the cleava…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is one of the most common gynecological diseases, and seriously reduces the quality of life of patients. However, the pathogenesis of this disease is unclear. Therefore, more studies are needed to elucidate its pat…
BackgroundThe lymphatic contribution to the circulation is of paramount importance in regulating fluid homeostasis, immune cell trafficking/activation and lipid metabolism. In comparison to the blood vasculature, the impact of the lymphatic…
Objective: To identify an optimal magnetic resonance imaging-based classification for evaluating the efficacy of focused ultrasound ablation surgery (FUAS). Design:A retrospective cohort study. Setting: The Affiliated Nanchong Central Hospi…
Aim: To identify epigenetic alterations of differentially expressed genes and screen out targeted therapeutic drugs in endometriosis. Methods: Based on the Gene Expression Omnibus database and a series of biological information analysis too…
ObjectiveTo investigate the value of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value of endometrial cancer (EC) primary lesion and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) three-dimensional (3D) radiomics features combined with clinical parameters for p…
Rationale: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is closely linked to follicular dysplasia and impaired bidirectional oocyte-granulosa cell (GC) communication. Given that PCOS is a heterogeneous, multifactorial endocrine disorder, it is importan…
Background: Treatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists is a powerful strategy to suppress gonadotropin activity in women with sex hormone-dependent disorders. Herein, we provide the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and p…
Deubiquitination is a major form of post-translational protein modification involved in the regulation of protein homeostasis and various cellular processes. Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs), comprising about five subfamily members, are key …
