OBJECTIVE: This study assessed the impact of the cervical microbiome on reproductive outcomes in frozen embryo transfer (FET) patients. STUDY DESIGN: This cross-sectional study included 120 women (aged 20-40 years) undergoing FET. A cervic…

INTRODUCTION: Stage IB (deep myometrial invasion) high-grade endometrioid adenocarcinoma (EA), regardless of LVSI status, is classified into high-intermediate risk groups, requiring surgical lymph node staging. Intraoperative frozen section…

PURPOSE: The combination of Xiaozheng decoction with postoperative intravesical instillation has been shown to improve the prognosis of bladder cancer patients and prevent recurrence. However, the mechanisms underlying the efficacy of this …

BACKGROUND: Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) patients are predisposed to metabolic disturbances, including in lipid metabolism and glucose metabolism, and metabolic disorders appear to be a prerequisite of the typical long-term complic…

Uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC) is one of the most common malignancies of the female genital tract. A recently discovered protein-coding gene, PPP1R14B, can inhibit protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) as well as different PP1 holoenzyme…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the therapeutic effect of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment for adenomyotic patients with primary infertility and to explore the factors that affect the pregnancy outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twe…

PURPOSE: The impact of body mass index (BMI) on in vitro fertilization (IVF) has been well acknowledged; however, the reported conclusions are still incongruent. This study aimed to investigate the effect of BMI on IVF embryos and fresh tra…

BACKGROUND: There was inconsistency in optimal endometrial preparation protocol for frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) in patients with endometriosis. We conducted this study to investigate the effect of different endometrial preparation p…

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, …

Preeclampsia (PE) is a leading cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Although increasing lines of evidence suggest that both the placenta and the decidua likely play roles in the pathogenesis of PE, the molecular mechanism of…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common nonfatal gynecological disease, and infertility is one of its main dangers. Endometriosis-related infertility causes serious damage to women's health and places a burden on women of reproductive age. Th…

Macrophages are a key and heterogeneous cell population involved in endometrial repair and regeneration during the menstrual cycle, but their role in the development of intrauterine adhesion (IUA) and sequential endometrial fibrosis remains…

BACKGROUND: Plastics have conveyed great benefits to humanity and made possible some of the most significant advances of modern civilization in fields as diverse as medicine, electronics, aerospace, construction, food packaging, and sports.…

S100A6, also known as calcyclin, is a low-molecular-weight Ca2+-binding protein from the S100 family that contains two EF-hands. S100A6 is expressed in a variety of mammalian cells and tissues. It is also expressed in lung, colorectal, panc…

BACKGROUND: To develop an ultrasound scoring system for placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), evaluate its diagnostic value, and provide a practical approach to prenatal diagnosis of PAS. METHODS: A total of 532 pregnant women (n = 184 no PAS, …

Multimodal synergistic bactericidal agents display great potential for fighting biofilm infections. However, the rational design of biofilm microenvironment (BME)-activatable therapeutic agents with excellent specificities, effective eradic…

BACKGROUND: Neuroimaging 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…

Pancreatitis is the leading cause of hospitalization in gastroenterology, and no medications are available for treating this disease in current clinical practice. FXR plays an anti-inflammatory role in diverse inflammatory diseases, while i…

Uterine sarcomas are rare malignant tumors of the uterus with a high degree of malignancy. Their clinical manifestations, imaging examination findings, and laboratory test results overlap with those of uterine fibroids. No reliable diagnost…

BACKGROUND: By analyzing the detection rate of anti-M antibody in patients with the MNS blood group system in the Hunan area, we aimed to explore its clinical significance and blood transfusion strategy. METHODS: We retrospectively analyze…

BACKGROUND: The effect of GuizhiFuling Wan (GFW) on adenomyosis (AM) is definite. This study aimed to explore the mechanism and key therapeutic targets of GFW in treating AM through network pharmacology combined with molecular docking and e…

BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies. Although CRC treatment has been significantly improved, patient survival remains low because most patients already have advanced disease at diagnosis. Early screeni…

We aimed to determine the clinical outcome of double cleavage-stage embryo transfers in frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles for older women.This study analyzed a total of 8189 cleavage-stage frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles between Jan…

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) carry specific proteins involved in intercellular communication. EVs with different protein contents are released into circulation in different diseases. Recent studies have identified proteins in adenomyosis (A…

Intrauterine adhesions (IUA), characterized by endometrial fibrosis, is a common cause of uterine infertility. We previously demonstrated that partial epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and the loss of epithelial homeostasis play a vit…
