Gastric metastasis from breast cancer (GMBC) is a rare but diagnostically challenging condition, whose clinical and imaging features often mimic primary gastric cancer or treatment-related adverse effects. This study integrates a detailed c…
Interleukin 37 (IL‑37), a member of the IL‑1 family, is recognized as an anti‑inflammatory cytokine. The anti‑inflammatory properties of recombinant human (rh)IL‑37 have been confirmed in vitro and its protective effects have been extensive…
OBJECTIVE: To assess the safety and efficacy of percutaneous intrauterine hydrodissection as a protective technique during microwave ablation (MWA) of uterine fibroids adjacent to the endometrium. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective ana…
BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine disorder and a leading cause of infertility. When accompanied by anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb), PCOS patients may face an increased risk of reproductive compli…
Recently, the gut microbiota has been found to be associated with multiple organs and systems in the human body, playing a key role in the occurrence and development of various diseases, such as the gut-brain axis and the gut-liver axis. Ho…
High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has demonstrated its safety, efficacy and noninvasiveness in the ablation of solid tumor. However, its further application is limited by its inherent deficiencies, such as postoperative recurrence ca…
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common and potentially life-threatening inflammatory disease of the pancreas. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a key role in the occurrence and development of AP. With increasing ROS levels, the degree of oxid…
Severe endometrial injury caused by invasive uterine operation and/or endometritis often results in intrauterine adhesions (IUAs), which are named Asherman's syndrome (AS), further leading to menstrual disorders, infertility and severe comp…
BACKGROUND: Normal size ovarian cancer syndrome (NOCS) is a challenge for clinicians regarding timely diagnosis and management due to atypical clinical and imaging features. It is extremely rare with only a few cases reported in the literat…
