lncRNA TUG1 promotes endometrial fibrosis and inflammation by sponging miR-590-5p to regulate Fasl in intrauterine adhesions.

Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is one of the most common reproductive system diseases in women worldwide. The role of lncRNAs in multiple diseases has been confirmed, but the role and mechanism of lncRNA taurine upregulated gene 1 (TUG1) in the progression of IUA need to be elucidated further. Here, we found that lncRNA TUG1 was upregulated in the endometrial tissues of IUA and TGF-β1-treated human embryonic stem cells (hESCs).

Analysis of pregnancy outcome after anastomosis of oviduct and its influencing factors.

Background: This study aims to investigate the influencing factors of pregnancy after laparoscopic oviduct anastomosis.

Methods: The data of 156 cases of laparoscopic oviduct anastomosis in our hospital were analyzed.

Results: The pregnancy rate decreased with age (P < 0.

Effect of the population heterogeneity on growth behavior and its estimation.

Different types of the Logistic model are constructed based on a simple assumption that the microbial populations are all composed of homogeneous members and consequently, the condition of design for the initial value of these models has to be rather limited in the case of N(t(0))=N(0). Therefore, these models cannot distinguish the dynamic behavior of the populations possessing the same N(0) from heterogeneous phases. In fact, only a certain ratio of the cells in a population is dividing at any moment during growth progress, termed as theta, and thus, dN/dt not only depends on N, but also on theta.
