Multimodal synergistic bactericidal agents display great potential for fighting biofilm infections. However, the rational design of biofilm microenvironment (BME)-activatable therapeutic agents with excellent specificities, effective eradic…

PURPOSE: To study the efficacy and safety of the dienogest and the gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) in symptomatic females with uterine adenomyosis. METHODS: A total of 127 patients with adenomyosis with a chief complaint of…

Appropriate clinical management of adnexal masses requires a detailed diagnosis. We retrospectively collected ultrasound images of 1559 cases from the first Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital and developed a fully automatic deep learnin…

Abstract Objective: The aims of this study were to study the distribution of the serum VD levels among infertile people and to analyze the relationships between VD levels and the basic conditions of infertile patients, as well as laboratory…

A 37-year-old woman was diagnosed with abdominal wall endometrioma in 2020. She underwent cesarean delivery in 2013 and had stabbing pain in her right lower abdomen during menstruation since 2016. The endometrioma, with a 1.6-cm × 2.3-cm × …

Postpartum uterine infection in dairy cows is commonly caused by pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli (E. coli). Progesterone elicits immunosuppressive function within bovine endometrium, and has been suggested to be related to post…

Angiogenesis, the formation of new capillaries from pre-existing vascular networks, plays an important role in many physiological and pathological processes. The use of pro-angiogenic agents has been proposed as an attractive approach for p…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the research is to study the association between the serum levels of autoantibodies against one important epitope (168FMILPVGAANFREAMR183, designated as P6) of α-enolase (ENO1-P6Abs) and miscarriage among euthyroid fem…

Background: The availability and use of frozen-thawed embryos after controlled ovarian hyperstimulation for assisted reproduction have increased with improvements in vitrification techniques and the rise of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (G…

Iron overload and oxidative stress have been reported to contribute to ferroptosis in endometriotic lesions. However, the possible roles of iron overload on macrophages in endometriosis (EMs) remain unknown. Based on recent reports by singl…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) is a common gynecological disorder that often leads to irregular menstruation and infertility. The pathogenesis of EM remains unclear and delays in diagnosis are common. Thus, it is urgent to explore potential…

BACKGROUND: The risk of developing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is higher in women undergoing assisted reproductive treatment than in women conceiving spontaneously. OBJECTIVES: To determine whether the GDM risk after day-3 embryo t…

The absence of clinically objective methods to evaluate adenomyosis-associated pain and the poor understanding of its pathophysiology lead to treatment limitations. We conducted a resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging study wi…

BACKGROUND: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common degenerative disease in women which may diminish quality of life. Investigating the pathological changes of the uterosacral ligament, including the functional changes of fibroblasts, is cr…

BACKGROUND: With the increasing use of frozen embryo transfer (FET), the best endometrial preparation protocol is continuously being discussed. The hormone replacement therapy (HRT) cycle and letrozole-induced ovulation (L-OI) cycle are ava…

BACKGROUND: The development of the ovaries is an important factor that affects egg production performance in geese. Ovarian development is regulated by genes that are expressed dynamically and stage-specifically. The transcriptome profile a…

Endometriosis is a benign gynecological disease sharing several features with malignant tumor. Cytoplasmic polyadenylation element-binding protein 3 (CPEB3), a potential target of miR-21-5p, is downregulated in endometriotic specimens. Howe…

Transcription factor YY1 is an important regulator of many pathways in tumor cell growth, prognosis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, invasion, and resistance to chemotherapy. These effects lead to upregulation of YY1 associated with poor…

BACKGROUND: After treatment of intrauterine adhesions, the rate of re-adhesion is high and the pregnancy outcome unpredictable and unsatisfactory. This study established and verified a decision tree predictive model of live birth in patient…

The accurate prediction of malignancy for a pelvic mass detected on ultrasound allows for appropriate referral to specialised care. IOTA simple rules are one of the best methods but are inconclusive in 25% of cases, where subjective assessm…

OBJECTIVES: To assess the changes of blood flow in adenomyosis (AM) after higher-dose oxytocin (OT) in different doses, and to evaluate the safety for patients. METHODS: A total of 124 patients with AM were randomly divided into 4 groups w…

Background: Endometriosis (EMs) is the most common gynaecological disorder with its etiology and/or pathophysiology remains enigmatic. Recent studies showed that extracellular vesicles (EVs), exosomes in particular, play a critical role in …

BACKGROUND: Preterm birth is the leading cause of neonatal death, and there are no effective clinical means for the prevention and treatment of spontaneous preterm birth, mainly because the mechanism for labor initiation has not been fully …

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of modified Wenjing decoction combined with online publicity and education on the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea of cold coagulation and blood stasis. METHODS: The materials of 111 patients with primary…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common benign gynecological disease characterized by growing-functioning endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Extra-pelvic endometriosis, which accounts for approximately 12% of endometriosis, is more challe…
