BACKGROUND: The prevalence of perineal endometriosis (PEM) is low among women with endometriosis (EM) treated by surgery. It manifests as hard or cystic nodules with pain in the perineal wounds and surrounding areas. Implantation theory is …

Endoscopic optical imaging technologies for the detection and evaluation of dysplasia and early cancer have made great strides in recent decades. With the capacity of in vivo early detection of subtle lesions, they allow modern endoscopists…

IntroductionRecently, the rate of caesarean sections (CS) worldwide has risen and CS-associated complications such as niche have increased substantially. Until now, evidence-based clinical guidelines for the treatment of niche-related sympt…

BackgroundAdding clomiphene citrate (CC) and/or letrozole (LE) to in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles for mild ovarian stimulation is a general approach. Although lots of researches have demonstrated partial benefits of the strategy, all-ar…

The dried roots or rhizomes of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bge are commonly used in Chinese medicine to promote blood circulation and regulate menstruation. Salvianic acid A and salvianolic acid B are the main active water-soluble compounds in Salv…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease. Several researches have reported the dysregulated circular RNAs (circRNAs) in endometriosis, whereas the functions of circRNAs are largely unknown. This study aims to explore the role and mech…

Myocardial infarctions are most often caused by the so-called vulnerable plaques, usually featured as non-obstructive lesions with a lipid-rich necrotic core, thin-cap fibroatheroma, and large plaque size. The identification and quantificat…

ObjectivesTo evaluate the combined impact of male and female BMI on cumulative pregnancy outcomes after the first ovarian stimulation.DesignRetrospective cohort study.SettingUniversity-affiliated reproductive medicine center.PatientsA total…

Abstract Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease. Pain is the most common symptom in endometriosis. Endometriosis-associated pain is caused by inflammation, and is related to aberrant innervation. Although the specific mechanism bet…

BackgroundApproximately 15% of couples in the reproductive age are affected by infertility. Women with diminished ovarian reserves (DOR) or with a poor ovarian response (POR) are required to undergo in vitro fertilization and embryo transfe…

ObjectiveTo evaluate fertility intensions among couples in Shanghai under the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) pandemic against the backdrop of persistently low fertility.MethodsA cross-sectional study was carried out using data from …

AIM: To study the involvement and interrelationship of epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in endometriosis. METHODS: Samples from 114 patients undergoing endometrial biopsy or operation for…

BACKGROUND: Women with endometriosis and previous cystectomy may respond less well to gonadotropin stimulation, which results in fewer oocytes retrieved and poor pregnancy outcomes. Choosing an appropriate protocol for such populations is e…

A 31-year-old female patient presented with complaints of cyclic low abdominal wall pain and palpable abdominal mass for more than 4 years. Physical examination revealed a painful mass measuring 7 cm × 5 cm within the abdominal wall. Her su…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis patients undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) treatment suffer from lower success rates. The success of IVF-ET is related to the receptivity of the uterus and the quality of embryos, and it is…

MicroRNA (miRNA) expression profiles in tubal endometriosis (EM) are still poorly understood. In this study, we analyzed the differential expression of miRNAs and the related gene networks and signaling pathways in tubal EM. Four tubal epith…

Huaier, as known as Trametes robiniophila Murr, is a traditional Chinese medicine. Various studies have demonstrated that Huaier could inhibit cancer progression and improve the prognosis of patients. In the present study, we comprehensivel…

Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the long-term efficacy of segmental bowel resection for bowel endometriosis and the impact of post-operative complications on clinical outcomes.Methods: 62 symptomatic patients with bowel endometriosis undergoi…

The application of photothermal therapy to treat bacterial infections remains a challenge, as the high temperatures required for bacterial elimination can damage healthy tissues. Here, we develop an exogenous antibacterial agent consisting …

BACKGROUND: Pelvic endometriosis (EM) and adenomyosis (AM) have different effects on the fallopian tube. This study aimed to assess the transport capability of the fallopian tube in women with pelvic EM or AM. METHODS: Twenty women with ute…

Ovarian fibroma/fibrothecoma with elevated serum OC125 antigen (CA125) is rarely encountered in clinical practice, and also easily misdiagnosed as epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC). The aim of this study was to investigate the clinicopatho…

Endometriosis is a complex and heterogeneous disorder of unknown aetiology. This benign disease possesses special biological behaviours that mimic those of malignant tumours. A pro-endometriotic niche established by an existing lesion is a …

Endometriosis is a complex and heterogeneous disorder with unknown etiology. Dysregulation of macrophages and innervation are important factors influencing the pathogenesis of endometriosis-associated pain. It is known to be an estrogen-dep…

MicroRNA (miRNA) plays an important role in the degradation and inhibition of mRNAs and is a kind of essential drug targets for cancer therapy. To facilitate the clinical cancer research, we proposed a network-based strategy to identify the…

This study aims to determine whether clinical evaluation of improved MyoSure hysteroscopic tissue removal system can remove type II submucosal myomas with safety and high success rate of the first operation.Fifty-three patients with type II…
