This study investigates the association between parity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Japanese women, considering the clinical history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and menopausal status, which are known risk factors for T2…
PURPOSE: This study aimed to monitor the expression of B-cell translocation gene 2 (BTG2) in granulosa cells of patients undergoing IVF/ICSI with respect blastocyst quality outcomes. METHODS: We recruited 181 women undergoing IVF/ICSI cycl…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Can bioinformatics-driven identification of hub genes in granulosa cells be used to predict oocyte developmental potential in patients with endometriosis (EMS)-related infertility? DESIGN: This was an exploratory cohort …
OBJECTIVE: To explore the role of endometrial defects in the pathogenesis of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). DESIGN: Retrospective case-control study. SETTING: Two tertiary centres. POPULATION OR SAMPLE: We included 155 patients with ca…
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a recognized global public health problem. However, there are still limitations in the available therapeutic approaches and a lack of clinically effective drugs. Therefore, an in-depth exploration of the seco…
Endometriosis (EMs) is a common disease in women of childbearing age, categorized into ovarian, superficial, and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). Bladder endometriosis (BE) is a type of DIE with an incidence of approximately 1% among …
BACKGROUND: As the precursor malignancy of endometrial cancer (EC), about 50% of endometrial complex atypical hyperplasia (CAH) will eventually progress to EC. Elucidating the underlying transformation mechanisms could aid in disease manage…
BACKGROUND: Limited information is available on malpractice claims against obstetricians and gynecologists in China. This study identifies risk factors associated with malpractice and explores the correlation between the hospital characteri…
Endometrium, the lining of the uterus, changes dynamically in response to fluctuations in ovarian hormones. The proper endocrine environment regulates endometrial functions: menstruation and supporting pregnancy. Obesity is closely related …
BACKGROUND: Circulating exosomal microRNAs are an easily obtained and minimally invasive biomarker for cancer treatment. Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most aggressive carcinomas. It would thus be extremely crucial …
INTRODUCTION: Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) demonstrates a complex pathogenesis. The uterine artery (UtA) Doppler ultrasound monitoring is clinically valuable for predicting RSA risk. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the type o…
BACKGROUND: The causal bridge from environmental exposure to endometriosis (Ems) biology remains incompletely defined. Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is repeatedly implicated in elevated Ems risk, yet actionable molecular anchors linking…
To evaluate the synergistic predictive capacity of MRI lesion classification and serum CA125 for symptom manifestation (dysmenorrhea/menorrhagia) and explore associated adenomyosis pathogenesis. Patients before focused ultrasound ablation s…
BACKGROUND: Cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is an uncommon and potentially life-threatening form of ectopic pregnancy characterized by embryo implantation within the scar tissue of a prior cesarean delivery. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study …
IN BRIEF: There is no ideal animal model of adenomyosis, which reflects the imperfect understanding of complex human pathogenesis. In this study, we successfully induced adenomyosis in a mouse model via sharp-blunt trauma, which more closel…
BACKGROUND: Purinergic P2 receptors, which can be divided into ionotropic P2X receptors and metabotropic P2Y receptors, mediate cellular signal transduction of purine or pyrimidine nucleoside triphosphates and diphosphate. Based on the wide…
BACKGROUND: Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) has been identified as a member of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5). The symptoms of premenstrual syndrome are uncertain, and these uncertain s…
Adenomyosis remains a challenging gynecological disorder to investigate due to the absence of in vitro models that accurately replicate endometrial tissue dynamics across the menstrual cycle. To address this gap, we established an endometri…
OBJECTIVE: Refeeding syndrome (RFS) is a potentially life-threatening complication during nutritional rehabilitation in malnourished patients, especially those in intensive care units (ICUs). This study aimed to develop and internally valid…
RATIONALE: Cyst of the canal of Nuck is a very rare female hydrocele, which is often caused by developmental disorders. The incidence of this disease is very low in the world, and misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis often occur due to insuffi…
BACKGROUND: While the phenotypic link between body mass index (BMI) and some female reproductive disorders is well established, the genetic architecture and causal relationships have not been systematically studied. We aimed to create an at…
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the perioperative outcomes of single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) and dual-port laparoscopic myomectomy in patients with solitary uterine fibroids. METHODS: This retrospective observational st…
Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most common malignant tumor worldwide. Surgical resection remains the primary treatment for GC, with laparoscopic surgery recommended by several international guidelines. Due to complex perigastric vessels, …
This retrospective cohort study evaluated whether gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRHa) used for luteal support during antagonist cycles improved pregnancy outcomes in patients undergoing fresh embryo transfer. We examined 3,115 p…
