OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the efficacy of immunocytochemistry in diagnosing abdominopelvic washings (APWs) and evaluate the superiority of cytology combined with immunocytochemistry over cytology alone. MATERIAL AND METHODS: D…
Mitochondria are the center of energy metabolism in eukaryotic cells and play a central role in the metabolism of living organisms. Mitochondrial diseases characterized by defects in oxidative phosphorylation are the most common congenital …
IMPORTANCE: Adenomyosis is a common chronic gynecological disorder, and its treatment is an unmet need. New therapies need to be developed. Mifepristone is being tested for adenomyosis treatment. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether mifepriston…
BACKGROUND: Ovary is a common organ site involved by endometriosis. We previously found that fallopian tube may contribute to the histogenesis of ovarian endometriosis. The finding was novel and requires further studies. We addressed this i…
Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) of uterus has been crucial for providing useful information in differentiating pathologies such as uterine fibroids and adenomyosis. In this study, we aim to investigate the feasibility of high quality uteru…
Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the most lethal malignancies of the female reproductive system. OC patients are usually diagnosed at advanced stages due to the lack of early diagnosis. The standard treatment for OC includes a combination of d…
Endometriosis is closely associated with ectopic focal inflammation and immunosuppressive microenvironment. Multiple types of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) are present in the innate immune system, which are able to detect pathogen-as…
BACKGROUND: Eruptive syringoma (ES) is a clinical variant of the appendageal tumor syringoma. Around 75% of ES arise in the head or neck, which makes them unsightly. ES is common in patients with amyloidosis, diabetes, and Down's syndrome, …
Additional file 1. Clinical characteristics of endometriosis and control patients in this study.
Endometriosis is an invasive but benign disease of women that develops in endometrial glands outside the endometrium and uterine muscle. It affects about 15-20% of women of childbearing age. One effective way to treat endometriosis is to us…
Dairy cows often develop different degrees of endometritis after calving and this is attributed to pathogenic bacterial infections such as by Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Infection of the bovine endometrium causes tissue dama…
OBJECTIVE: The aim is to explore the clinical utility of the prenatal ultrasound score of the placenta combined with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosis of placenta accreta during the second and third trimester of pregnancy. MATE…
BACKGROUND: To examine and compare the differences in clinical characteristics and long-term postoperative outcomes of ovarian endometriomas (OMA) patients with and without dysmenorrhea, including data from at least 8 years of postoperative…
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: The diagnosis of endometriosis (EMs) is still based on laparoscopic observation. This study tries to verify whether exosomal tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs) in leucorrhea can be used as non-invasive diagnostic markers. METHODS: E…
Abstract Background: The diagnosis of endometriosis (EMs) is still based on laparoscopic observation. This study tries to verify whether exosomal tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs) in leucorrhea can be used as non-invasive diagnostic markers. Me…
Objectives: We were the first to combine IETA ultrasonic features with GI-RADS and tumor biomarkers for the surveillance of endometrial carcinoma. The aim was to evaluate the efficacy of single IETA ultrasonography GI-RADS classification an…
Background: Adenomyosis (AM) is a common benign gynaecologic disease characterized by dysmenorrhea and heavy menstrual bleeding and requires for long-term management. Levonorgestrel - releasing Intrauterine System (LNG-IUS) is a long-acting…
OBJECTIVE: To review the use of oral gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists and synthesize their efficacy and safety parameters for the treatment of endometriosis-associated pain. DESIGN: Systematic review and network meta-analy…
Endometriosis is a serious human gynecological disorder of women of reproductive age. The present study was designed to explore the therapeutic implications of rhein in the management of endometriosis. The results showed that rhein signific…
BACKGROUND: The efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided interventional procedures for gynecologic diseases have not been evaluated comprehensively. Therefore, we aimed to provide an evidence-based medical reference for clinical treatment i…
Uterine and ovarian cancers are the most common gynecologic cancers. N6-methyladenosine (m6A), an important internal RNA modification in higher eukaryotes, has recently become a hot topic in epigenetic studies. Numerous studies have reveale…
BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is an estrogen-dependent gynecological disease. The pathogenesis of chronic pain, the main clinical symptom of adenomyosis, remains undefined. As a combination lymphocyte with both T-cell and natural killer (NK)-cell…
PURPOSE: To classify abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) according to the invasive levels of tissue mass, and to compare the differences in clinical characteristics between different types of AWE. METHODS: In this study, we retrospectively …
