BACKGROUND: Childbearing in women with advanced maternal age (AMA) has increased the need for artificial reproductive technology (ART). ART and oxidative stress are associated with many pregnancy complications. Paraoxonase (PON) 1 is one of…

It has been demonstrated that scar tissue and fibrosis may increase the likelihood of developing malignancies. Specifically, scar tissue has been linked to the occurrence and progression of lung cancer (LC), though the precise mechanisms ne…

Tumor models in vitro are conventional methods for developing anti-cancer drugs, evaluating drug delivery, or calculating drug efficacy. However, traditional cell line-derived tumor models are unable to capture the tumor heterogeneity in pa…

RESEARCH QUESTION: What role, if any, does histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) play in adenomyosis-associated heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB)? DESIGN: Seventy-two women with adenomyosis-associated HMB were recruited. Of these, 37 women reported m…

The retrotransposon known as long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1), which is currently the sole autonomously mobile transposon in the human genome, can result in insertional mutations, chromosomal rearrangements, and genomic instabil…

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, …

The oral microbiome has been implicated in a growing number of diseases; however, determinants of the oral microbiome and their roles remain elusive. Here, we investigated the oral (saliva and tongue dorsum) metagenome, the whole genome, an…

We investigated whether anogenital distance (AGD) is associated with adenomyosis, endometriosis and uterine leiomyomas (UL, also called uterine fibroids). We recruited 81 women with UL, 105 with ovarian endometrioma (OE), 116 with adenomyos…

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has emerged as a promising uterus-sparing and possibly fertility-sparing treatment modality for women with adenomyosis, especially those who desire to conceive. We conducted this systematic review an…

Millions of women worldwide suffer from infertility associated with gynecologic disorders such as premature ovarian insufficiency, polycystic ovary syndrome, Asherman syndrome, endometriosis, preeclampsia, and fallopian tube obstruction. Th…

BACKGROUND: Women with endometriosis have been shown to have a reduced vagal tone as compared with controls and vagotomy promoted while vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) decelerated the progression of endometriosis in mice. Extensive research a…

Artificial intelligence (AI)-aided general clinical diagnosis is helpful to primary clinicians. Machine learning approaches have problems of generalization, interpretability, etc. Dynamic Uncertain Causality Graph (DUCG) based on uncertain …

PURPOSE: Congenital cervical and vaginal aplasia is a rare condition that has a great impact on patients physically and psychologically. The present study was designed to assess depressive symptoms related to congenital cervical vaginal apl…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to build a nomogram based on clinical markers for predicting the malignancy of ovarian tumors (OTs). METHOD: A total of 1,268 patients diagnosed with OTs that were surgically removed between October 201…

BackgroundChronic pancreatitis (CP) is a long-term inflammatory disease of the pancreas that can be caused by various pathogenic factors. Oxidative stress (OS), which is associated with several pancreatic diseases, can induce pancreatic ste…

OBJECTIVE: To use the logistic regression model to evaluate the value of ultrasound characteristics in the Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System ultrasound lexicon in determining ovarian solid component-containing mass benignancy/malign…

Objectives: Endometrial peristalsis (EP) in non-pregnant uterine can be assessed by visual assessment of transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS). However, visual assessment is subjective, and the outcome depends on the sonographers and video analyst…

Vaginal and cervical canal bacteria are associated with women's health and pregnancy outcomes. Here, we compared their composition and characteristics in 37 reproductive-aged Chinese women including 24 pregnant women with cervical incompete…

The combination of spatial transcriptomics (ST) and single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) acts as a pivotal component to bridge the pathological phenomes of human tissues with molecular alterations, defining in situ intercellular molecular…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the difference in clinical efficacy and safety of transvaginal and transumbilical single port laparoscopy for endometrial cancer. METHODS: We retrospectively included 100 endometrial cancer patients who were admitted …

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare fertility outcomes in patients who underwent different laparoscopic surgeries and to determine the most beneficial surgical treatment for tubal ectopic pregnancy (EP) patients who wished to become preg…

The diagnosis and treatment of unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA) are subject to debate, because the exact underlying mechanisms remain unclear. To address this issue, we elucidated the expression profiles of dysregulated cir…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a common and frustrating syndrome in women of reproductive age, is characterized by symptoms including hyperandrogenemia, ovulation dysfunction, and polycystic ovaries. The role of competitive endogenous RN…

Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is common and severely affects the quality of life of the afflicted women. While HMB is known to be caused by impaired endometrial repair after menstruation, its more proximate cause remains unknown. To invest…

BACKGROUND: Endometrioid adenocarcinoma (EAC) is the most common subtype of endometrial cancer (EC) and is an estrogen-related cancer. In this study, we sought to investigate the expressions and mechanism of action of 17β-estradiol (E2) and…
