A Comprehensive Overview of Endometriosis explores the complexities of this chronic gynecological condition, offering readers a deep understanding of its many facets. The book examines various elements of endometriosis, such as environmenta…
BACKGROUND: Preimplantation genetic testing for chromosomal structural rearrangements (PGT-SR) has been widely utilized to select euploid embryos in patients carrying balanced chromosomal rearrangements (BCRs) by chromosome copy number anal…
A Comprehensive Overview of Endometriosis explores the complexities of this chronic gynecological condition, offering readers a deep understanding of its many facets. The book examines various elements of endometriosis, such as environmenta…
Endometriosis is defined as the ectopic growth of endometrium-like tissue. It brings pain and infertility to approximately 6–10% of women who are in reproductive age. The pathogenesis of endometriosis is still unclear, which also leads to u…
Primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma) is the third leading cause of tumor death in the world and the second leading cause in China. The high recurrence rate at 5 years after surgery also seriously affects the long…
PURPOSE: This preclinical study aimed to evaluate whether using transferred mosaic embryos (primarily selected by embryonic morphology assessment (EMA) and compared by the noninvasive preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (niPGT-A)…
Emerging evidence suggests that children conceived through assisted reproductive technology (ART) have a higher risk of congenital heart defects (CHDs) even when there is no family history. De novo mutation (DNM) is a well-known cause of sp…
BACKGROUND: Lymph node metastasis (LNM) is an important prognostic factor in endometrial cancer. Anomalous microRNAs (miRNAs) are associated with cell functions and are becoming a powerful tool to characterize malignant transformation and m…
AIM: Given the increasing prevalence of hysteromyoma among the Chinese rural women of childbearing age, it is imperative that more attention should be given to researching risk factors that predispose women to this condition so that early p…
Proteins and peptides (PPs) have gradually become more attractive therapeutic molecules than small molecular drugs due to their high selectivity and efficacy, but fewer side effects. Owing to the poor stability and limited permeability thro…
PURPOSE: Gonadotrophin releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) is widely used for pituitary down-regulation and recruiting more follicles in assisted reproduction. However, no information is available on its value for patients with thin endometr…
OBJECTIVE(S): CHL1 (close homologue of L1 or cell adhesion molecule L1 like), also referred as CALL, is a member of the L1 gene family of neural cell adhesion molecules and belongs to immunoglobulin superfamily. This study aims to investiga…
Endometriosis (EM) is a mysterious and complicated disease that has been found to be multifactorial. Recent studies demonstrated that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in the pathogenesis of EM. However, the functional an…
MicroRNA plays an important role in spermatogenesis. Whether pre-miRNAs polymorphisms are associated with idiopathic male infertility remains obscure. In this study, 1378 idiopathic infertile males and 486 fertile controls were included bet…
Endometriosis is a chronic disease that affects roughly 5-15 % of women of reproductive age. The pathophysiology of the disease occurrence and progression is unclear. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, non-coding RNAs that have important regulat…
AIM: To investigate the effects of Annexin A2 (ANXA2) silencing on invasion, migration, and tumorigenic potential of hepatoma cells. METHODS: Human hepatoma cell lines [HepG2, SMMC-7721, SMMC-7402, and MHCC97-H, a novel human hepatocellula…
OBJECTIVE: The association between a common variant of the ESR1 gene rs2234693 and rs9340799 polymorphisms with coronary heart disease (CHD) have been reported, but the available data on this relationship are inconsistent. A meta-analysis w…
Published data on the association between the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene -460C/T (rs833061), +405G/C (rs2010963), +936T/C (rs3025039) polymorphisms and endometriosis risk are inconclusive. Eleven eligible case-control st…
Rapid and sensitive detection of serum tumor biomarkers are needed to monitor cancer patients for disease progression. Highly sensitive piezoelectric microcantilever sensors (PEMS) offer an attractive tool for biomarker detection; however, …
Though malignant transformation of endometriosis has been documented, malignancy arising from extragonadal endometriosis is rare. We present the case of a 39-year-old woman with abdominal pain and fullness after menstruation. Evaluation rev…
Vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)is a specific vascular growth factor,which paly an important role in the angiogenesis.VEGF and its receptors are strongly expressed in ovary,endometrium and placenta,which is very important for the re…
