AbstractCyperi rhizoma (CR) has traditionally been used to treat endometriosis (EMS), but its molecular mechanism remains unclear. To address this, we used a multi-faceted approach that included analysis of GEO datasets, network pharmacolog…

Increasing evidences showed that ovulatory dysfunction, possibly caused by luteinized unruptured follicular follicle syndrome (LUFS), is one of the reasons for endometriosis-related infertility. The present study was conducted to explore th…

In recent studies, there has been growing interest in developing cancer therapeutics targeting Globo H ceramide, which is considered as the most prevalent tumor-associated carbohydrate antigen in epithelial cancers. In this study, we aimed …

PURPOSE: Laparotomic or hysteroscopic myomectomy, and high-intensity focussed ultrasound (HIFU), can be used in the treatment of Type 2 myomas with a > 50% intramural component. Hysteroscopic electroresection may damage the remaining endome…

The risk of endometriosis (EM), which is a common complex gynaecological disease, is related to genetic predisposition. However, it is unclear how genetic variants confer the risk of EM. Here, via Sherlock integrative analysis, we combined …

BackgroundHuman chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) as one of the first signals secreted by the embryo to the mother may have a direct effect on the endometrium at implantation. The current study was aim to compare the clinical outcomes after froz…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Does iron overload in patients with endometriosis affect ovarian function? Can a method be developed to visually reflect this? DESIGN: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) R2* was used to evaluate the correlation between iro…

BackgroundLong non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) have been extensively studied to play essential roles in tumor progression. However, more in-depth studies are waiting to be solved on how lncRNAs regulate the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma…

Study questionDoes cancer itself, before any gonadotoxic treatment, affect ovarian function in reproductive-aged patients?Summary answerOur study revealed that women with cancer may have decreased ovarian reserve markers even before cancer …

BackgroundFollicular microenvironment has been proposed as an important factor for oocyte grown and maturation. We sought to evaluate the oxidative stress and inflammatory levels in follicular fluid (FF) and association with embryo quality …

Our objective was to test whether p53 expression status is associated with survival for women diagnosed with the most common ovarian carcinoma histotypes (high-grade serous carcinoma [HGSC], endometrioid carcinoma [EC], and clear cell carci…

BackgroundSynthetic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide quantitative information about inherent tissue properties and synthesize tailored contrast-weighted images simultaneously in a single scan. This study aimed to investigate the…

ImportanceImplantation failure remains a critical barrier to in vitro fertilization. Prednisone, as an immune-regulatory agent, is widely used to improve the probability of implantation and pregnancy, although the evidence for efficacy is i…

Abstract Endometriosis is an inflammatory disease with non-specific symptoms, including chronic pelvic pain and infertility, which affects thousands of women of reproductive age. Early diagnosis of endometriosis remains challenging. We aime…

BACKGROUND: Polypoid endometriosis (PEM) is a rare and unique type of endometriosis. To date, no article has provided a systematic report of this disease. The current article provides a complete report on rare PEM based on ultrasound, magne…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a benign uterine disease and affected patients present with symptoms such as menorrhagia, chronic pelvic pain, abnormal uterine bleeding, and infertility. However, the specific mechanisms by which adenomyosis occu…

INTRODUCTION: To explore the role of IL-6/JAK/STAT signaling in tubal infertility. METHODS: The fimbriae tissues of 14 patients with a history of infertility and hydrosalpinx and 14 patients with no history of infertility and no fallopian t…

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas. Iron is an essential element for life and is involved in many metabolic processes. Ferroptosis is a type of regulated cell death that is triggered by iron and oxidative str…

BackgroundEndometrial thickness (EMT) and blood flow are commonly used indicators of endometrial receptivity. However, the results of single ultrasound examination studies differ. Therefore, we used 3-dimensional (3D) ultrasound to study th…

AIM: To observe the effect of warming menstruation and analgesic herbal soup (WMAS) on the pathway of programmed cell death protein 1 and its ligand 1 PD-1/PD-L1 in rats with endometriosis model. METHODS: A total of 90 mature female Wistar…

BackgroundNeuroimaging studies have confirmed that functional connectivity (FC) disruption of pain-related brain networks may contribute to the cerebral pathophysiology of primary dysmenorrhea (PDM). However, it remains unclear whether FC o…

PURPOSE: To study the efficacy and safety of the dienogest and the gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) in symptomatic females with uterine adenomyosis. METHODS: A total of 127 patients with adenomyosis with a chief complaint of…

Female fertility declines with age, and this natural variation culminates in reproductive senescence. Human follicular fluids are rich in low-molecular weight metabolites which are responsible for the maturation of oocytes. The metabolomic …

Common uterine diseases include endometriosis, uterine fibroids, endometrial polyps, endometrial hyperplasia, endometrial cancer, and endometrial dysfunction causing infertility. Patients with uterine diseases often suffer from abdominal pa…

BACKGROUND: Different from conventional ultrasound, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is better in observing microperfusion. For atypical focal adenomyosis and uterine leiomyomas that are difficult to be distinguished by conventional ultr…
