Abstract Purpose To classify abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) according to the invasive levels of tissue mass, and to compare the differences in clinical characteristics between different types of AWE. Methods In this study, we retrospect…

The mechanism underlying the role of oxidative stress and advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) in the aetiology of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is poorly understood. Here, we investigated the plasma AOPP level in POI patient…

BackgroundThe age-specific definition of low anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) is lacking. This study aims to define an age-specific reference for low AMH and to evaluate the associated outcome in women undergoing IVF treatment.MethodsA retrospe…

AIM: This study aims to explore the barriers to self-management of patients with adenomyosis. DESIGN: Phenomenological qualitative methodology. METHODS: Totally, 18 patients with diagnosis of adenomyosis participated in this study. We used …

BACKGROUND: To present the experience with the surgical management of ureteral endometriosis (UE) in our single center. METHODS: To present the experience with the surgical management of ureteral endometriosis (UE) in our single center. A …

PurposeA multicentre prospective cohort study, known as the Chinese Pregnant Women Cohort Study (CPWCS), was established in 2017 to collect exposure data during pregnancy (except environmental exposure) and analyse the relationship between …

RationaleChoriocarcinoma is a highly aggressive tumor. It occurs infrequently during pregnancy. The management of choriocarcinoma during pregnancy poses several challenges.Patient concernsAt 34 weeks of gestation, a 21-year-old primigravida…

Abstract Background CSF-1 was found to be accumulated in the lesions and peritoneal fluid of endometriosis patients, and CSF-1 induced THP-1-derived macrophages to polarize toward a suppressive phenotype. Researchers found that macrophages …

BackgroundsDespite the great advances in assisted reproductive technology (ART), poor ovarian response (POR) is still one of the most challenging tasks in reproductive medicine. This predictive model we developed aims to predict the individ…

OBJECTIVES: Endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) patients show different clinical characteristics compared with non-EAOC patients. However, a few studies are focused on the imaging characteristics of EAOC until now. We assessed MR…

BackgroundTo summarize our experience with the Boari flap-psoas hitch and compare the indications, perioperative data and outcomes between open and laparoscopic procedures.MethodsThis study retrospectively reviewed 35 patients with complex …

Abstract Background: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been recognized as a regulator in the formation and maintenance of chronic pain in various chronic disorders. BDNF together with its high-affinity tyrosine kinase type B (Trk…

Objective: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic disease. The abnormal proliferation and invasion of ectopic stromal cells (ESCs) are important manifestations of endometriosis, and it is necessary to find safer and more effective t…

ContextGenistein (Gen) has shown protective effects against ageing process.ObjectiveTo explore the role of Gen on the senescence of H2O2-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and investigate the possible mechanism.Material…

Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome (HWWS) is a rare congenital malformation characterized by uterus didelphys, unilateral blind hemivagina, and ipsilateral renal agenesis. The obstructed vagina affects menstrual flow, leading to related clin…

Objective To investigate the long-term clinical outcomes of patients with adenomyosis treated by high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU).Materials and methods From June 2012 to January 2020, 2311 patients with adenomyosis were treated with…

N 6-methyladenosine (m6A), one of the most abundant RNA modifications, is involved in the progression of many diseases, but its role and related molecular mechanisms in endometriosis remain unknown. To address these issues, we detected m6A …

PurposeTo uncover potential diagnostic biomarkers for endocervical adenocarcinoma (EAC) and adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS).Experimental designQuantitative label-free liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-E…

The nitrile group is an important functional group widely found in both pharmaceutical agents and natural products. More than 30 nitrile-containing pharmaceuticals have been approved by the FDA for the management of a broad range of clinica…

Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in women. OC is associated with the activation of oncogenes, the inactivation of tumor suppressor genes, and the activation of abnormal cell signaling pathways. Moreover, epigen…

Robert's uterus is a rare Müllerian malformation first characterized by a French gynecologist Héléne Robert in 1969. It represents an asymmetric division of the uterine cavity. A 45-year-old female patient presented with vaginal bleeding an…

Abstract Background Adenomyosis (AM) and endometriosis (EM) often coexist. Laparoscopic surgery is one of the main methods for diagnosing and treating these conditions. This study aims to investigate the pregnancy outcomes of women with inf…

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides but not translated into proteins. LncRNAs regulate gene expressions at multiple levels, such as chromatin, transcription, and post-transcription. Further, lncRNAs pa…

Intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) refer to the repair disorder after endometrial injury and may lead to uterine infertility, recurrent miscarriage, abnormal menstrual bleeding, and other obstetric complications. It is a pressing public health i…
