AIMS: This study aims to develop and validate a Multi-Dimensional Computational Screening (MDCS) strategy to identify bioactive components by jointly considering target affinity, exposure potential, and safety, using Liangdi decoction (LDD)…
ObjectiveTo evaluate the impact of adjunctive levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LNG-IUD) placement on amenorrhea rates and hysterectomy risk following endometrial resection or ablation in women with abnormal uterine bleeding (AU…
The human endometrium is a vital component of the female reproductive system that is essential for fertilization, embryo development and female health. However, due to significant ethical concerns and practical limitations associated with h…
Objective To identify novel and noninvasive biomarkers for the diagnosis of adenomyosis and to provide potential therapeutic targets. Design We conducted a cross-sectional study using data from 110 women of reproductive age who underwent pe…
BackgroundTuberculosis (TB), a multisystemic disease with protean presentation, remains a major global health problem. Although concurrent pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) cases are commonly observed clini…
ObjectiveProgesterone (PG) is an important sex steroid hormone commonly administered to protect the endometrium in perimenopausal women. The present study aimed to explore differential responses of periodontitis to PG in perimenopausal wome…
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder resulting in pelvic pain and infertility. The role of T helper 17 (Th17) cells in endometriosis remains elusive. In this study, through detecting CXCR3, CCR4, CCR10, CCR6, interleukin-17 Rece…
ObjectiveThis study aimed to better understand the psychological experiences of inpatients with acute pancreatitis (AP).DesignWe used a qualitative descriptive study design to capture patients with AP's thoughts, feelings and behavioural re…
ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to systematically summarize and form an expert consensus on the theoretical experience of tongue and facial features for the identification of nine types of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitution.…
BackgroundSynchronization of follicles is key to improving ovulation stimulation with the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocol. GnRH antagonist administration in the early follicular phase can quickly decrease gonadotro…
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder resulting in pelvic pain and infertility. The role of T helper 17 (Th17) cells in endometriosis remains elusive. In this study, through detecting CXCR3, CCR4, CCR10, CCR6, interleukin-17 Rece…
Innate and adaptive immune factors play significant roles in the pathophysiology of endometriosis. T helper 17 (Th17) cells, a pro-inflammatory T cell subset, were considered to contribute to the progression of endometriosis lesions. Howeve…
Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an epithelial cell derived cytokine belonging to the IL-7 family and a key initiator of allergic inflammation. Two main isoforms of TSLP, classified as long- (lfTSLP) and short-form (sfTSLP), have been…
Endometrial cancer (EC) is a common leading cause of cancer-related death in women, which is associated with the increased level of estrogen in the body. Artesunate (ART), an active compound derived from Artemisia annua L., exerted antitumo…
Alterations in estrogen-mediated cellular signaling play an essential role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. In addition to higher estrogen receptor (ER) β levels, enhanced ERβ activity was detected in endometriotic tissues, and the inh…
The conjugated estrogen /: bazedoxifene tissue-selective estrogen complex (TSEC) is designed to minimize the undesirable effects of estrogen in the uterus and breast tissues and to allow the beneficial effects of estrogen in other estrogen-…
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are widespread persistent residual environmental pollutants, which affect seriously the growth and reproductive alterations in humans and animals. Aroclor 1254 is a commercial mixture of PCBs. Quercetin is a…
Endometriosis is considered to be an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease, but its etiology is unclear. Thus far, a mechanistic role for steroid receptor coactivators (SRCs) in the progression of endometriosis has not been elucidated. An…
