Infertility presents a widespread challenge for many families worldwide, often arising from various gynecological diseases (GDs) that hinder successful pregnancies. Current diagnostic methods for GDs have disadvantages such as low efficienc…

Pelvic masses frequently originate from the pelvic cavity and are often associated with uterine, ovarian, or intestinal disorders. This report describes the case of a patient with a pelvic mass diagnosed as a retroperitoneal dermoid cyst at…

INTRODUCTION: Microwave ablation (MWA) effectively treats adenomyosis, yet symptom recurrence remains challenging. Thus, our study aims to explore the independent risk factors related to symptom recurrence after MWA of symptomatic adenomyos…

RNA methylation is widespread in nature. Abnormal expression of proteins associated with RNA methylation is strongly associated with a number of human diseases including cancer. Increasing evidence suggests that targeting RNA methylation ho…

Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is characterized by endometrial fibrosis. S100A8/A9 plays an important role in inflammation and fibroblast activation. However, the role of S100A8/A9 in IUA remains unclear. In this study, we collect normal and I…

BACKGROUND: Placenta accreta spectrum disorders (PAS) are a severe complication characterized by abnormal trophoblast invasion into the myometrium. The underlying mechanisms of PAS involve a complex interplay of various cell types and molec…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to explore the clinical application value of two-dimensional ultrasound (2D-US) combined with contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in the differential diagnosis of benign, borderline ovarian tumors (…

The cGAS-STING pathway has become a crucial role in the detection of cytosolic DNA and the initiation of immune responses. The cGAS-STING pathway not only mediates protective immune defense against various DNA-containing pathogens but also …

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation is the most prevalent internal epigenetic posttranscriptional mechanism for regulating mammalian RNA. Despite recent advances in determining the biological functions of m6A methylation, its association w…

OBJECTIVE: This study provides a concise overview of diagnostic and treatment strategies for intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL), a rare disease with nonspecific clinical manifestations, based on cases from a tertiary referral hospital in Chin…

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a prevalent condition affecting the male urinary system, with its molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis remaining unclear. Y-27632, a non-isoform-selective Rho kinase inhibitor, has shown therapeutic pot…

BACKGROUND: Accurate preoperative assessment of the efficacy of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation for uterine fibroids is essential for good treatment results. The aim of this study was to develop robust radiomics models for…

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease distinguished by ectopic endometrium and fibrosis. NLRP3 inflammasome and pyroptosis are present in endometriosis. Aberrant increase of Long noncoding (Lnc)-metastasis-associated lung adenocar…

BACKGROUND: Insulin resistance (IR) may adversely impact the in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcomes. However, the association of IR with ovarian sensitivity during controlled ovarian hyperstimulatio…

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Bushen Wenyang Huayu Decoction (BWHD) is a traditional Chinese medicine for tonifying kidney and warming Yang, thereby resolving blood stasis and relieving pain. BWHD can significantly improve the clinical sy…

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is known to be associated with chronic low-grade inflammation and endometrial dysfunction. Chronic endometritis (CE) is a type of local inflammation that can contribute to endometrial dysfunction…

The present study aimed to identify the role of circPLOD2 in endometriosis and its underlying mechanisms. We determined circPLOD2 and miR-216a-5p expression in ectopic endometrial (EC) and eutopic endometrial (EU) samples as well as in endo…

ObjectiveTo assess the diagnostic value of the Copenhagen index for ovarian malignancy.MethodsPubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, Embase, CBM, CNKI, and WanFang databases were searched throughout June 2021. Statistical analyses we…

BACKGROUND: Hysterectomy places a huge physical and mental burden on young female patients with congenital cervical and complete vaginal atresia. Thus, it is necessary to develop a method to detach the obstruction and simultaneously preserv…

Primary endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the rectovaginal septum is rare. Its pathogenesis is not clear and there is no standard treatment. One patient with endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the rectovaginal septum arising from deep infiltrative…

BackgroundTuberculosis (TB), a multisystemic disease with protean presentation, remains a major global health problem. Although concurrent pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) cases are commonly observed clini…

Because adenomyosis (AM) ectopic primary cells are hard to come by, have a short lifespan, and the characteristics that alter over time, their utility in AM research is constrained. This study aimed to establish a line of immortalized human…

Uterine peristalsis is essential for gamete transport and embryo implantation. It shares the characteristics of spontaneity, rhythmicity, and directivity with gastrointestinal peristalsis. Telocytes, the "interstitial Cajal-like cells" outs…

BACKGROUND: Multimorbidity is better prevented in younger ages than in older ages. This study aims to identify the differences in comorbidity patterns in middle-aged inpatients from China and the United Kingdom (UK). METHODS: We utilized 1…

BACKGROUND: Extracellular adenosine triphosphate (eATP) is an important inflammatory mediator that can boost the antitumour immune response, but its role in endometriosis remains unknown. We hypothesized that eATP could inhibit endometriosi…
