Endometrial carcinoma (EC) is a common malignancy of the female reproductive system, often diagnosed at advanced stages due to the lack of reliable early biomarkers. Gene methylation has emerged as a key epigenetic mechanism in cancer devel…

Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) possess significant potential in regenerative medicine, attributed to their inherent capacity for site-specific homing to inflammatory regions, diverse differentiation abilities, and immunomodulatory fu…

RATIONALE: Endometrial stromal sarcoma is an extremely rare mesenchymal neoplasm occurring in the extrauterine. Retroperitoneal endometrial stromal sarcoma with multiple pulmonary metastases, in particular, is extremely rare. PATIENT CONCE…

BACKGROUND: Placental anomalies, including placenta previa (PP), placenta accreta spectrum disorders (PAS), and vase previa (VP), are associated with several adverse foetal-neonatal and maternal complications. However, there is still a lack…

BACKGROUND: Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that originate from smooth muscle cells of the uterus. It is the most common gynecological disorder, affecting up to 80% of women of reproductive age. Uterine fibroids can cause various symptom…

Currently, the precise and detailed anatomical data of the normal uterus, especially the myometrium thickness in various parts of the uterus, are lacking. This study aims to provide normal references for uterine size in healthy reproductive…

Endometriosis is a hormone-associated disease which has been considered as the precursor for certain types of ovarian cancer. In recent years, emerging evidence demonstrated potent roles of lncRNA in regulating cancer development. Since end…

Protocols utilizing gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists have emerged as mainstream procedures for ovarian stimulation; however, GnRH increases the risk for periodic cancellation of embryos. Therefore, this study aimed to compa…

HOTAIR is a well-known long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) involved in various cellular signaling, whereas its functional impacts on endometriosis development are still largely unknown. To this end, six potential functional single nucleotide polym…

RATIONALE: Eccrine spiradenoma (ES) is a rare benign skin adnexal tumor originating from eccrine sweat glands. The features of ES on ultrasonography (US) have received little attention. Therefore, we report the sonographic findings in a cas…

Most multiple primary cancers(MPCs) are double primaries, while quadruple cancer is rare, especially breast cancer and triple genital cancer. Our work is the first report about ametachronous quadruple cancer in the reproductive system, incl…

BACKGROUND: Malignant endometriosis in an episiotomy scar is rare; only seven cases have been reported previously. Here, we compare two cases of benign endometriosis and clear cell carcinoma. CASE PRESENTATION: The first case was a 54-year…

BACKGROUND: With the rapid development of whole embryo freezing technology, more and more frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) was used in assisted reproductive technology. However, the best FET program for elderly women has not been finaliz…

BACKGROUND: The modified Bushen Antai recipe (BSAT) is a centuries-old traditional Chinese medicine that we use in our center as a therapy against pregnancy loss. Our study aimed to explore the potential benefit and mechanism of BSAT in pre…

Thrombospondins are a family of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. Thrombospondin-1 (TSP1) was the first member to be identified and is a main player in tumor microenvironment. The diverse functions of TSP1 depend on the interactions betw…
