Abstract Many studies have shown that endometriosis can lead to infertility in women of reproductive age, but the mechanism is unknown. Our study aims to explore the pathogenesis of stage IV endometriosis with infertility and the role of c…
This study aims to objectively assess the effect of three surgical approaches for posterior uterine fibroid resection: transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS), vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOT…
This review comprehensively explores the complex role of copper homeostasis in female reproductive system diseases. As an essential trace element, copper plays a crucial role in various biological functions. Its dysregulation is increasingl…
PurposeEarly detection of hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis (HLAP) with exacerbation tendency is crucial for clinical decision-making and improving prognosis. The aim of this study was to establish a reliable model for the early prediction …
BACKGROUND: Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) is an achievement in the field of minimally invasive surgery. However, the vantage point of vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) in gynecologica…
BACKGROUND: Previous research has raised concerns regarding inconsistencies between reported and pre-specified outcomes in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) across various biomedical disciplines. However, studies examining whether similar…
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to determine whether the live birth rates were similar between GnRH antagonist original reference product Cetrotide® and generic Ferpront®, in gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocol for controll…
OBJECTIVE: We carried out this study to explore the possibility of initiating goserelin therapy during the non-menstrual period in patients diagnosed with adenomyosis. METHODS: 115 premenopausal adenomyosis patients were enrolled and divid…
We report the findings of a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis of endometriosis consisting of a large portion (31%) of non-European samples across 14 biobanks worldwide as part of the Global Biobank Meta-Analysis Initiative …
Peritoneal fibrosis has been linked to hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) as well as O-linked-N-acetylglucosaminylation (O-GlcNAcylation) in peritoneal dialysis (PD). Genistein, recognized for its HIF-1α inhibitory and antifibrotic e…
BACKGROUND: Females with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) have significantly lower cumulative live birth rates (CLBRs) than females with normal ovarian reserve. A subset of young infertile patients, whose ovarian reserve is declining but ha…
BACKGROUND: Transvaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopy (vNOTES) is regarded as a challenging surgical technique to learn but is promising in reducing perioperative pain and significantly improves the cosmetic outcomes. Previous stu…
Cellular therapies with cardiomyocytes produced from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC-CMs) offer a potential route to cardiac regeneration as a treatment for chronic ischemic heart disease. Here, we report successful long-term engraftme…
Microplastics (MPs) are synthetic solid particles or polymer matrices that range in size from 1 μm to 5 mm. MPs are widely present in the global biosphere, leading to increasing concerns about their impact on human health. In this study, mi…
Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic inflammatory disease frequently associated with infertility. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation, the most common form of methylation in eukaryotic mRNAs, has gained attention in the study of female reprodu…
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…
RNA-modifying proteins, classified as "writers," "erasers," and "readers," dynamically modulate RNA by adding, removing, or interpreting chemical groups, thereby influencing RNA stability, functionality, and interactions. To date, over 170 …
BACKGROUND: The etiology of most mesenchymal tumors is unknown, and knowledge about syndromes with an increased risk of tumors in bone or soft tissue is sparse. METHODS: We present a prospective germline analysis of 312 patients with tumor…
Endometriosis diagnosis is usually delayed. The gold standard for diagnosing endometriosis is laparoscopy, which is invasive and accompanied by several risks. Currently, there are no effective non-invasive biomarkers for diagnosing endometr…
AIM: To investigate the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and clinical treatment of submucosal cystic adenomyosis. METHODS: The clinical data of five cases of patients with submucosal cystic adenomyosis in our hospital from January 2020…
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the surgical outcomes and identify the conversion risk factors of Transvaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (vNOTES) in treating ovarian cyst. METHODS: This was a retrospective study…
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 …
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to determine the safety of Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) in terms of the Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) concept for tubal pregnancy surgery and provide a detailed process of vNO…
BACKGROUND: Advances in minimally invasive surgery and the development of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) have favored the spread of day-surgery programs. Even though Vaginal natural orifice transvaginal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) i…
