Currently available classification criteria for obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome (OAPS) are often overly strict and may miss a considerable number of patients with so-called "non-criteria-defined OAPS". We aimed to establish a diagnostic…
This single-centre retrospective study (100 women with endometrial polyps, mean age 41.8 ± 8.2 years) investigated the association between endometrial polyps and endometriosis. Endometriosis was confirmed in 13 % of patients. Multiple polyp…
The aim of this study is to investigate the mechanism of action and correlation between transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) and β-catenin in pelvic organ prolapse (POP). The study compared vaginal wall tissues from two groups: 20 pat…
RNF144 family proteins, including RNF144A and RNF144B, members of the RING-between-RING domain-containing ubiquitin E3 ligase family, serve as critical regulators of protein ubiquitination. Despite increasing research attention in recent ye…
Peripheral nerve injury-induced muscle atrophy is characterized by chronic inflammation and dysregulated macrophage polarization. RUNX1, a transcription factor upregulated in denervated muscle, has been implicated in linking muscle degenera…
The aim of this study is to investigate the characteristics and etiology of endometrial hyperemia in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) through two complementary approaches: clinical data analysis to characterize endometrial hyp…
Cystic adenomyosis is a rare type of adenomyosis. The main clinical manifestation of uterine cystic adenomyoma is severe dysmenorrhoea, and the condition can be diagnosed by relevant clinical examination. The preferred treatment, with a goo…
Endometriosis is increasingly affecting women worldwide and research is focusing on identifying key targets in its pathogenesis. Changes in succinylation genes regulate the function of this protein and further influence the development of t…
With the development and progress of society, people's average life expectancy has increased, and relevant literature reports that the number of postmenopausal women in China continues to increase. With lifespans extended, the transition pe…
This retrospective case-control study examined the association between the rs2071559 (-604T/C) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR)-2 gene and the risk of diabetic retinopathy (DR) …
This study aimed to investigate effects of pulmonary fractalkine (FKN/CX3CL1) on angiogenesis and tube formation. Tube forming capability of pulmonary vascular endothelial cells (PVECs) was evaluated. CCK-8 assay was used to evaluate prolif…
We investigated the influence of DNA fragmentation index (DFI) on in vitro fertilization (IVF), embryo transfer (ET), and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). We analyzed the semen parameters of 61 cycles in infertile couples undergoing…
ObjectivesTo investigate the neuropeptide Y (NPY) expression in the tissue of pelvic floor ligament and anterior vaginal wall in female patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI).MethodSeventeen patients…
ObjectiveMitochondrial homeostasis is vital for the progression of lung cancer. Nurr1 has been identified as a novel mediator of mitochondrial homeostasis in several types of cancers. The aim of our study was to investigate whether Nurr1 mo…
