PURPOSE: We aimed to develop and validate a predictive score to estimate the post-operative recurrence risk after laparoscopic excision of ovarian endometrioma (OMA). PATIENTS AND METHODS: The prediction score was developed using a trainin…

PURPOSE: Estradiol valerate (Progynova®) is used as hormone therapy to supplement estrogen deficiency. This study aimed to assess the bioequivalence of an estradiol valerate tablet and its generic form, under fasting and fed conditions. ME…

BACKGROUND: The relationship between sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and prostate cancer is still unknown. Although these inhibitors can influence tumor glycolysis, the underlying mechanism requires further exploration. M…

PURPOSE: Female infertility is a global health concern. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between regulatory T (Treg) cells and helper T cells 17 (Th17) in peripheral blood and unexplained infertility (UI). In additi…

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…

LncRNAs are highly implicated in oxidative stress (OS) during the growth of mammalian follicles. TAK1 binding protein 2 gene (TAB2) has been suggested to involve in the normal apoptosis and proliferation of granulosa cells (GCs), the main s…

BACKGROUND: Serum tumor markers (STM), extensively used for the diagnosis, monitoring and prognostic assessment of tumors, can be increased in some non-malignant lung diseases. To date, there is a paucity of studies regarding the clinical c…

The endometrium is an important part of women's bodies for menstruation and pregnancy. Various proteins are widely expressed on the surface of endometrial cells, and glycosylation is an important post-translational modification of proteins.…

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…

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is involved in most biological processes and actively participates in the regulation of reproduction. According to recent research, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and their m6A modifications are involved in reproduc…

OBJECTIVE: Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) is widely recognized for its advantages, including reduced postoperative pain and the absence of visible scarring. However, the anatomical specificity required for …

BACKGROUND: The proliferation of porcine ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) is essential to follicular development and the ubiquitin-proteasome system is necessary for maintaining cell cycle homeostasis. Previous studies found that the deubiquit…

PURPOSE: To recommend the classification of unilateral genital tract obstruction with ipsilateral renal anomaly (UGTOIRA) syndrome into five types based on the site of obstruction, and to analyze the clinical manifestations and precise diag…

PURPOSE: To examine the associations between use of statins and risks of various ovarian, uterine, and cervical diseases, including ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, cervical cancer, ovarian cyst, polycystic ovarian syndrome, endometriosi…

Increasing evidence has suggested that ubiquitin-specific protease 10 (USP10), a deubiquitinating enzyme, plays an essential role in targeted protein degradation and participates in cancer progression. However, the relationship between USP1…

Abstract Background: At present, clinical diagnosis and classification of adenomyosis are mainly dependent on MRI or pathological examination, and little research is carried out on molecular biomarkers for the diagnosis and classification o…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis refers to a series of symptoms caused by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. In extrapelvic endometriosis, abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) is very common. Acupuncture therapy ha…

BACKGROUND: The previous researches show that infertile patients have a higher incidence of endometritis and endometrial polyps, and the occurrence of these two diseases is related to changes in the microbiota of the genital tract. We aim t…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis has been reported to be associated with metabolism-related diseases, such as hypercholesterolemia and diabetes, while no studies have reported the association between endometriosis and metabolic syndrome. OBJECTIV…

AIM: To evaluate the association between urinary polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) metabolites and the risk of endometriosis. METHODS: This cross-sectional study obtained data on women aged 20-54 years from the National Health and Nutr…

The cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) can better reflect the overall treatment effect by successive treatments, and continuous rather than categorical variables as exposure variables can increase the statistical power in detecting the poten…

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to explore formula patterns and application rules for SP6 as the main acupoint in prescriptions, utilizing association rules. METHODS: We conducted an extensive search in databases including China National Knowle…

PURPOSE: Optimal serological biomarkers have been absent for the early diagnosis of endometrial cancer, to date. In this study, we aimed to define the diagnostic performances of individual and combined detection of serum cysteine protease i…

Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) have been identified as a noteworthy paracrine mechanism of intercellular communication in diagnosing and managing neurological disorders. Current research suggests that sEVs play a pivotal role in the pa…

The immune system contributes to the pathophysiology of endometriosis. The role of ThGM cells, which produce granulocyte macrophage-colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), in the pathogenesis of endometriosis remains unknown. To analyze the fea…
