Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) regulates the ligand binding of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). In asthma patients, heat treatment increased both the GR expression and secretion of extracellular HSP70 (eHSP70) by bronchial epithelial cells …
The local Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS) has been demonstrated to exist in a wide range of tissues and organs, In the female reproductive system, it is mainly found in the ovary, uterus and placenta. The RAS system is made up of a series of…
Cardiac hypertrophy, characterized by the enlargement of cardiomyocytes, is initially an adaptive response to physiological and pathological stimuli. Decompensated cardiac hypertrophy is related to fibrosis, inflammatory cytokine, maladapti…
PURPOSE: In patients who had advanced endometriosis, we use different protocols including GnRH agonist, GnRH antagonist and progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocols to assess live-birth congenital malformations delivered after …
Background: Endometriosis is one of the most challenging diseases for doctors helping infertile women conceive, which has become a common method to help maternal endometriosis-associated infertility. Women with advanced endometriosis posses…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Does the use of a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) improve the ongoing pregnancy rate of vitrified-warmed embryo transfer in women with adenomyosis undergoing IVF? DESIGN: This retrospective study i…
Objective To investigate the effect of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS, Mirena) on adenomyosis and its effect on frozen embryo transfer outcomes. Methods A total of 122 oocytes pick up cycles treated with proges…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH-ant) protocol and gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) long protocol in patients with normal ovarian reserve. METHODS: We sea…
This study reports an IVF patient who had adenomyosis underwent 2 in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles and 3 frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles but all failed. Then a Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) was inserted into …
OBJECTIVE: To study the different expression of microRNA(miRNA) including mir-29c, mir-200a, mir-145 in the mid-secretary endometrium and its relationship with infertility of endometriosis. METHODS: From August 2011 to February 2013, 36 in…
