Serous papillary adenofibroma (SPAF) is a rare benign tumor in gynecological practice. Most patients have no symptoms and occasionally present with pelvic masses during physical examinations. SPAF consists of both fibrous and epithelial par…
R eview question / Objective The review aims to identify risk factors associated with recurrence of endometriosis and pregnancy gain after surgery.P: Ovarian endometriosis patients after surgery I: No artificial intervention C:Patients with…
BACKGROUND: Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LG-ESS) is a rare malignant tumor of the female reproductive system with atypical clinical symptoms and slow progression. CASE: A 44-year-old female with a history of intermittent severe d…
BACKGROUND: The longitudinal vaginal septum and oblique vaginal septum are female müllerian duct anomalies that are relatively less diagnosed but severely fertility-threatening in clinical practice. Ultrasound imaging is commonly used to ex…
BACKGROUND: Primary abdominal pregnancy is an extremely rare form of ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancies that occur in the liver and diaphragm are even rarer, limited case reports are available in the literature. CASE SUMMARY: A woman o…
BACKGROUND: Accurate preoperative diagnosis of endometrial cancer (EC) with deep myometrial invasion (DMI) is critical to deciding whether to perform lymphadenectomy. However, the presence of adenomyosis makes distinguishing DMI from superf…
OBJECTIVE: Abnormal contraction of uterus and vascular smooth muscle lead to the formation of hypoxia environment in uterus. Abnormal contraction may be the basis of dysmenorrhea, endometriosis, infertility and other diseases. Phloroglucino…
BACKGROUND: Infertility has been associated with common chronic non-communicable diseases. However, the association of infertility with long-term mortality is unclear. METHODS: We followed 101,777 women aged 25-42 years at enrollment betwe…
BACKGROUND: Breastfeeding has been associated with a reduced maternal long-term risk of chronic diseases, but its association with mortality is poorly known. METHODS: We included 166,708 female United States (US) nurses from the Nurses' He…
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Menstrual cycle dysfunction has been associated with many endocrine-related diseases, but evidence linking menstrual cycle dysfunction with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is scant. The current study investigated the as…
OBJECTIVES: Adenomyosis is a common and refractory disease in gynecology. Preserving the uterus during treatment for adenomyosis remains a problem. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is widely used in treatment of solid tumors. This s…
BACKGROUND: Glioma is the most common primary malignant tumor in the central nervous system. Because of the resistance of glioma to chemoradiotherapy and its aggressive growth, the survival rate of patients with glioma has not improved. Thi…
A 45-year-old female patient was referred to our hospital for complaining of dyspnea and coughing in the past four months. The computed tomography scanning demonstrated a central lesion in the upper lobe of the left lung close to the hilar,…
UNLABELLED: A 45-year-old female patient was referred to our hospital for complaining of dyspnea and coughing in the past four months. The computed tomography scanning demonstrated a central lesion in the upper lobe of the left lung close t…
OBJECTIVES: To detect specific mitochondrial proteins in eutopic endometrial samples from women with and without endometriosis and to build diagnostic models. DESIGN: Eutopic endometrial samples from women with endometriosis (excluding ade…
Surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF-MS) protein chip array technology was used to detect biomarkers of eutopic endometrium in endometriosis patients. Five potential biomarkers (6,898 m/z,…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether focal adhesion kinase (FAK) expression is altered in eutopic endometrium of women with endometriosis. DESIGN: Experimental study using human endometrial tissue. SETTING: Academic research center. PATIENT…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is expressed in endometriotic ovarian tissue. METHODS: We collected tissue samples from the ovaries of 41 women with ovarian endometriosis and from the endometrium of 20 healthy…
OBJECTIVES: To use surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF-MS) protein chip array technology to detect proteomic patterns in the serum of women with endometriosis; build diagnostic models; an…
Surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry protein chip array technology was used to detect the serum proteomic patterns in patients with endometriosis. Four potential biomarkers (8,141 m/z, 6,096 m/z, 5,8…
