Primary vaginal cancer is a rare malignant tumor; its pathogenesis remains unclear and only a limited number of cases have been documented in the literature. The present report outlines a rare case of primary vaginal endometrioid adenocarci…

BackgroundThe impact of the interval between consecutive testicular sperm aspiration (TESA) procedures on pregnancy outcomes of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in patients with obstructive azoospermia (OA) remains controversial. Thi…

BackgroundInfertility poses a significant health challenge for reproductive-aged women globally and could be shaped by both genetic risks and lifestyle factors. Existing studies predominantly focus on individual lifestyle components, while …

BACKGROUND: Endometrial hepatoid adenocarcinoma (HAC) is an exceedingly rare tumor. Histologically, the tumor is predominantly characterized by HAC with additional components, as documented in previous reports. The coexistence of endometria…

Endometrial carcinoma (EC) is one of the leading causes of mortality in women. Metabolic disorders, such as abnormal fatty acid metabolism (FAM), are considered to be indicators of tumorigenesis. However, to the best of our knowledge, the r…

BackgroundThe etiology of interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/BPS) remains elusive, presenting significant challenges in both diagnosis and treatment. To address these challenges, we employed a comprehensive approach aimed at…

We report a 67-year-old female diagnosed with ovarian mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) and treated with a comprehensive regimen. This case emphasizes the urgent need for standardized diagnostic criteria and evidence-based treatment pro…

Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is identified as a severe chronic immune-related disorder in pancreas, including two subtypes. In this study, pancreatic lesions in patients diagnosed as either type 1 AIP or type 2 AIP are examined, and these …

GoalsIn this study, we conducted this network meta-analysis (based on the ANOVA model) to evaluate the predictive efficacy of each early predictor.BackgroundPersistent organ failure (POF) is one of the determining factors in patients with a…

Mucinous ovarian carcinoma (MOC) represents a distinct entity within ovarian malignancies, characterized by diagnostic challenges due to its rarity and the potential overlap with other tumor types. The determination of tumor origin is impor…

Resveratrol, a naturally occurring polyphenolic compound, has captivated the scientific community with its promising therapeutic potential across a spectrum of diseases. This review explores the complex role of resveratrol in modulating fer…

BACKGROUND: Uterine leiomyomas and adenomyosis are both common and often associated with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), including the symptom of heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB). Understanding the prevalence of adenomyosis in women with ute…

Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory disorder of the pancreas. Medical imaging, such as computed tomography (CT), has been widely used to detect volume changes in the pancreas for acute pancreatitis diagnosis. Many pancreas segmentation me…

Introduction: Dahuang-Taoren (DT) is a classic combination of botanical drugs applied to treat pain-related diseases in ancient China. Today, DT is frequently applied for dysmenorrhea of adenomyosis (AM) in the clinic. Growing evidence indi…

Human amniotic membrane (hAM) is a promising material for tissue engineering due to several benefits, including desirable biocompatibility, stem cell source, antibacterial activity, etc. However, because of its low elasticity, the clinical …

BACKGROUND: "Rhubarb-Peach Kernel" herb pair (RP) one of the most frequently used drug pairs, has been used in traditional medicine in China to treat inflammation and diseases associated with pain. Although it is widely used clinically and …

BackgroundInfertility is caused by heterogeneous risks, but most of them are unexplained. The sperm DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI) was increasingly acknowledged as a parameter for the evaluation of male infertility. This study aimed to inves…

We investigated the influence of DNA fragmentation index (DFI) on in vitro fertilization (IVF), embryo transfer (ET), and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). We analyzed the semen parameters of 61 cycles in infertile couples undergoing…

Enteropeptidase (EP) initiates intestinal digestion by proteolytically processing trypsinogen, generating catalytically active trypsin. EP dysfunction causes a series of pancreatic diseases including acute necrotizing pancreatitis. However,…

The vaginal microbiota dysbiosis is closely associated with the development of reproductive diseases. However, the contribution of mycobiome to intrauterine adhesion (IUA) disease remains unknown. Harnessing 16S and ITS2 rDNA sequencing ana…

In humans, the maternal endometrium participates in the physical and physiological interaction with the blastocyst to begin implantation. A bidirectional crosstalk is critical for normal implantation and then a successful pregnancy. While s…

BackgroundMeigs syndrome is a rare neoplastic disease characterized by the triad of benign solid ovarian tumor, ascites, and pleural effusion. In postmenopausal women with pleural effusions, ascites, elevated CA-125 level, and pelvic masses…
