BACKGROUND: Afferent neuronal hypersensitization via P2X3 receptor signaling has been implicated as a driver of several disorders, including refractory chronic cough, endometriosis, diabetic neuropathic pain, and overactive bladder. Eliapix…
Previous ultrasound studies suggest that patients with adenomyosis (AM) exhibit increased uterine cavity stiffness, although direct evidence regarding extracellular matrix (ECM) content and its specific impact on endometrial stiffness remai…
BACKGROUND: Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response protein that plays an important role in pancreatic functions. As both alcohol and ER stress response proteins are involv…
OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis (EMS) is an estrogen-dependent condition with unclear pathogenesis. Recent findings suggest implicate autophagy and ferroptosis in EMS development. METHODS: We assessed autophagy and ferroptosis proteins in EMS pat…
BACKGROUND: Embryo implantation in a receptive endometrium is crucial for successful pregnancy. Endometrial receptivity (ER) prediction tools based on endometrial transcriptome biomarkers by endometrial biopsy have been used to guide succes…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the outcome of total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) and postoperative pain characteristics and compare the pain severity after TLH for adenomyosis or uterine fibroids. METHODS: This prospective observational stud…
Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignancies. Although some patients benefit from immunotherapy, the majority of patients have unsatisfactory immunotherapy outcomes, and the clinical significance of immune-related genes in gastric …
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on intracranial pressure (ICP) in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery in Trendelenburg position through ultrasonographic measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONS…
OBJECTIVES: Neiyi Prescription of QIU (NYPQ) is a traditional Chinese medicine prescription for the treatment of endometriosis (EMS). Here, we aimed to examine the effects and mechanisms of NYPQ on angiogenic ability in EMS. STUDY DESIGN: …
This study aimed to explore the effects of endometriosis (EMS)-derived exosomes and miR-301a-3p on the polarization of macrophages and investigate the involved molecular mechanism. The exosomes were isolated from ectopic endometrial tissues…
OBJECTIVE: Emerging studies have demonstrated the promising clinical value of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) for diagnosis, disease assessment, treatment monitoring and prognosis in epithelial ovarian cancer. However, the clinical applicati…
BACKGROUND: Our previous work revealed the high expression of fibrinogen alpha chain (FGA) in patients with endometriosis (EM) and that it could promote the migration and invasion of endometrial stromal cells. Angiogenesis is the key condit…
Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is a highly heterogeneous complication of pregnancy with the underlying mechanisms remaining uncharacterized. Dysregulated decidualization is a critical contributor to the phenotypic alterations related …
Displaced window of implantation (WOI) is one of the endometrial origins that accounts for implantation failure, especially for patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF), yet no standard diagnostic tool has been recognized. The stu…
e22517 Background: Uterine adenomyosis is a benign condition in which endometrium-like epithelial and stromal tissue appear in the myometrium, but easily concurrent with uterine cancer and other diseases. To date, few investigations have ex…
BACKGROUND: The aim of our present study was to investigate the clinical characteristics, treatment status and complications in women with endometriosis (EM) and tube ovarian abscess (TOA) to determine the possible association between TOA a…
Purpose: To study the effect of bazedoxifene on the expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (sVEGFR2), cyclooxygenase synthase 2 (COX-2) and inflammatory factors in a r…
Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) due to primary myelofibrosis (PMF) is secondary to progressive pancytopenia, which is a rare and difficult to treat condition. We report this case with the aim of sharing our experiences and exploring a safe a…
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…
OBJECTIVE: High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy is a noninvasive alternative to conventional abdominal surgery in obstetrics and gynecology. The aim of this study is to evaluate the reduction of pain intensity with bowel manipul…
BACKGROUND: The management of adenomyosis is challenging and limiting. Qiu's Neiyi recipe (Qiu) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescription clinically used for endometriosis treatment in China, but the effect and mechanism of Qiu o…
Abstract Background : The aim of our present study was to investigate the clinical characteristics, treatment status and complications in women with endometriosis (EM) and tube ovarian abscess (TOA) to determine the possible association bet…
Abstract Background : The aim of our present study was to investigate the clinical characteristics, treatment status and complications in women with endometriosis and tube ovarian abscess (TOA) to determine the possible association between …
