This study investigated the prognostic impact of lymph node dissection (LND) in patients with stage I ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (OEC) and aimed to identify the optimal LND range for improved survival. By analyzing data from the Surveil…
PURPOSE: To evaluate the value of mtDNA copy number measurement in spent culture medium of blastocysts for predicting the chance of implantation following single blastocyst transfer (SBT). METHODS: Copy numbers of mtDNA and genomic DNA (gD…
PURPOSE: Hydrosalpinx reduces the pregnancy outcomes of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Tubal occlusion has been shown to improve IVF-ET success; however, the optimal timing of oocyte retrieval and the molecular changes…
Objective To explore the mechanism of ubiquitin specific peptidase 21 (USP21) increasing the stability of forkhead box protein M1 (FOXM1) and promoting M2 polarization of macrophages in endometriosis (EM). Methods Eutopic endometrial stroma…
INTRODUCTION: Raising the temperature of abdominal wall endometriosis lesions contributes to an effective ablation; however, providing sufficient protection to the surrounding tissues remains a challenge. In this study, we aimed to combine …
Oxidative stress (OS) refers to the production of a substantial amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to cellular and organ damage. This imbalance between oxidant and antioxidant activity contributes to various diseases, includin…
Endometriosis is a complicated, estrogen-dependent gynecological condition with a high morbidity rate. Pain, as the most common clinical symptom of endometriosis, severely affects women's physical and mental health and exacerbates socioecon…
BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common reproductive endocrine disorders in women of reproductive age and is characterized by a chronic state of excessive inflammation. Increased expression of WNT5A in a varie…
Endometrial cancer arising in adenomyosis (EC-AIA), i.e., malignant transformation of the endometrium within adenomyotic foci, is a very unusual condition. We report a postmenopausal woman who had an unexpected diagnosis of uterine serous c…
BACKGROUND: Vitamins, as essential trace organic compounds for the human body, are crucial substances in the maintenance of normal reproductive function. Nevertheless, the effects of vitamins on the activation of primordial follicles and th…
BACKGROUND: Uterine leiomyosarcoma(uLMS) is a rare malignant tumor with low clinical specificity and poor prognosis.There are many studies related to uLMS, however, there is still a lack of metrological analyses with generalization. This st…
Abstract Background The primary objective of this investigation was to assess the potential improvement in pregnancy outcomes among infertile women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, specifically during frozen embryo transfer (…
Endometriosis is a common gynecological condition characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, leading to chronic pelvic pain and infertility. This review aims to provide an overview of recent advances in the…
Background: Long-acting Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs(GnRHa), including leuprolide, goserelin, histrelin, buserelin, triptorelin, have been widely used for a variety of diseases including prostate cancer, breast cancer, endometrio…
OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the MRI characteristics of primary and metastatic adult granulosa cell tumor with normal estrogen levels (AGCT-NEL) to enhance clinical understanding and diagnostic accuracy of this disease. METHODS: We c…
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is a special liver disease during pregnancy, characterized by abnormal bile acid metabolism. However, there is no consensus on how to group women with ICP based on the time of…
PURPOSE: To investigate the impact of antibiotic treatment for chronic endometritis (CE) on the pregnancy outcome of frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles and the relevant clinical risk factors associated with CE. METHODS: A retrospec…
Environmental mixtures, which reflect joint exposure to multiple environmental agents, are a major focus of environmental health and risk assessment research. Advancements in latent variable modeling and psychometrics can be used to address…

PURPOSE: To investigate the association between the oxidative balance score (OBS) and endometriosis. METHODS: This cross-sectional study used four cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (1999-2000, 2001-200…
BACKGROUND: Primordial follicle activation is vital for the reproduction of women with advanced age and premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). But there is a lack of effective and safe therapeutic options to activate their primordial follic…
INTRODUCTION: Apoptosis and chronic inflammation are the main phenotypes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) pathogenesis. Cigarette smoke exposure is the leading risk factor for COPD, which causes aberrant airway epithelial str…
BACKGROUND: Chronic overlapping pain conditions (COPCs), pain-related conditions that frequently occur together, may occur in patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and could impact illness severity. This …
OBJECTIVE: Abnormal expression of circular RNA (circRNA) leads to the occurrence and development of endometriosis (EM), but its underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. METHODS: Abnormally expressed circRNAs were screened in EM and norma…
Abstract Objective Screen the relevant diagnostic indicators of endometriosis, build a diagnostic model and verify it, so as to provide a scientific basis for diagnosis and differentiation.zig. Method(s) A total of 625 patients with patholo…
